** Did the Jersey City police switch sides because they were disgusted with Damage Control's methods? Or did they just do it because they realized that Damage Control being recorded attacking two muslim teenagers with extreme force is going to attract a lot of bad press and wanted to dodge the public backlash?

Critical Research Failure is no longer a trope


* CriticalResearchFailure: While the show does do a great job educating viewers about the Partition of India, it's lasting impact & the great pain it caused (without getting into the more disturbing details), it lays full blame for it on the British, but in reality it came at [[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-62467438 the request of The Muslim Brotherhood]]. The Hindus simply wanted independence, the British were tired of Colonialism and just wanted to go home (hence why everything was so rushed), but the Muslims feared persecution from a Hindu Majority and thus wanted their own nation.

Renamed one trope.


* QuestionableCasting: With the show featuring a diverse cast that matches the ethnicities of the characters, it sticks out that the New Jersey Italian-American Bruno Carrelli is not played by an Italian-American but by Georgia-born Matt Lintz. Even generally positive reviews like [[https://www.comicbookrevolution.com/why-did-ms-marvel-crash-and-burn-on-disney/ this one]] criticized Disney for prioritizing representation of some ethnicities while excluding others.
** Similarly a minority of fans accused this series of laziness, colourism, minor Islamophobia or just treating the casting with a case of {{Interchangeable Asian Cultures}}. Notably with colourism, Pakistani Muslim Kareem and Turkish American Muslim Nakia are portrayed by non-Muslim half-white actors Aramis Knight and Yasmine Fletcher (similar to the critism of Naomi Scotts casting for Jasmine in Aladdin as the whitest non-muslim brown girl they could find).
** Yusuf, Muneeba and Kamran are Pakistani Muslim characters but their actors are all non-Muslims of Indian origins. This wouldn't raise any eyebrows if it wasn't for the fact Shang-Chi cast exclusively actors of Chinese descent for Chinese characters yet for the Pakistani Muslims of Ms Marvel the casting was more half-assed and chose easy picks with Zenobia Shroff and Yasmine Fletcher having worked for Disney before. Most notably MCU casting Director Sarah Halley Finn is notorious for treating South Asian casting with a case of InterchangeableAsianCultures attitude as noted with Extraction being set in Bangladesh but featured only Indian and Iranian actors for the Asian cast.

*** Relatedly, Kamala losing her shapeshifting power. In the comics, the first thing she did was transform herself into Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel, only to quickly learn that being tall, blonde, buxom, and wearing a skimpy superhero costume isn't everything she thought it would be -- a subtle but powerful metaphor about accepting yourself, good and bad, rather than trying to be someone else. Losing the shapeshifting power loses this metaphor, which may or may not be important to Kamala's overall journey as a hero, depending on how you feel about it.

* HarsherInHindsight: One of the Captain Marvel costumes Kamala and Bruno brainstorm is a zombie Carol. At San Diego Comic Con 2022, Marvel unveiled art for the ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'' spinoff set on [[Recap/WhatIfS1E5WhatIfZombies Earth-89521]], which featured a zombified Captain Marvel as one of the foes. To make matters worse, another piece of art has revealed that Kamala will be a Survivor hero, meaning she may very well have to kill her idol or her idol kills her.

** Kamran mentions to Kamala that the Red Daggers have hunted the ClanDestine for centuries and is naturally apprehensive about seeking refuge with them. But it means that Kamran may have been hunted by them back in the UK before coming to the US. [[spoiler: By the final episode, Kamran is now hiding out in Pakistan with Kareem as his ally. Considering his initial apprehension, the dynamic between the two could be like a rivalry.]]

Added DiffLines:

* PeripheryDemographic: Despite primarily told from the perspective of a Muslim Pakistani teenager and her relationship to her cultural heritage both in New Jersey and her home country of Pakistan, this show ended up appealing to a number of older viewers of varying ethnicities. Not only is Kamala's perspective of the world new and interesting, but its homage to teen comedy movies of the 1980s also provided a source of nostalgia for people who grew up with those kind of movies.


* AcceptablePoliticalTargets: The British Imperialists during and before the Partition are ''not'' sympathetic, nor are their local Indian partisans.
* AcceptableProfessionalTargets: Federal agents. Agent Cleary from ''No Way Home'' returns, and still doesn't have any problem with interrogating teenagers. His partner Agent Deever is even worse, casually trying to racially profile "Night Light" (even mockingly asking if she's "supposed to say Latinx now") which Cleary is [[EveryoneHasStandards visibly uncomfortable with]]. She then waltzes right into the mosque without a search warrant and expects to be given answers. And if that wasn't enough, [[spoiler:the Clandestines]] don't even last longer than five minutes in their (supposedly) max-security prison before [[CardboardPrison they easily escape to Karachi]] in the fourth episode, also serving as a show of their incompetence.
