* LighterAndSofter: Than most MCU fare, being aimed at teen girls. This is doubly true coming as it does on the heels of DarkerAndEdgier horror film ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' and the PsychologicalHorror series ''Series/MoonKnight''.

* CapeBusters: Damage Control reappears as one of the primary antagonists of this series, and they seem to have gotten worse than how they were depicted in ''No Way Home''. In particular, Agent Cleary from 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.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilBrit: Played for Drama. Kamala's family was terrorized by British Imperialists during and before the Partition, with their local Indian partisans assisting them.

* AllMuslimsAreArab: Averted, as this series goes out of its way to present the racial diversity of Muslims in the United States more realistically. Not only is the title character and her family of Pakistani heritage, but the series also features White-American Muslim converts as background characters.

** While not a company logo itself, the Ms Marvel logo and accompanying background(s) in the show's title sequence change every episode. Given how there are a '''lot''' of these variations (approximately around 12 per episode), the title sequence effectively takes the trope UpToEleven.

* TheGenerationGap: One the central themes in the show. Kamala rebels against Muneeba's overprotection, with Muneeba not trusting Kamala to be on her own. Muneeba herself has issues with her mother, Sana, as Muneeba rebelled against Sana's upraising and ran away to America for a better life. Add in Sana's mom, Aisha mysteriously vanishing during Sana's youth, and you get ''8'' continous decades of Mother/Daughter relationship problems!

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: Kamala is traditionally heroic and uses her powers for good. Najma and the Clan Destines just want to go home, but are willing to go to extreme lengths in order to do so. Agent Sadie Deever is closest thing to a truly villainous character, due to her being a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain racist]] and a RabidCop.

** Sure, Zoe is pretty insensitive and a bit of a bully at times, however that doesn't mean she's willing to out the identity of her rescuer to two clearly [[RabidCop skeevy government agents]].

That's really more speculation, not something that's reflected in the show.

Irrelevant, given Kamala swapped places which has been stated by the showrunners.


** In the comics, Kamala only has the power to change the size and shape of her body, along with shapeshifting which she rarely uses. In the show, she has the power to create crystalline constructs, which she's shown using in a manner similar to her elongated limbs from the comics. [[spoiler: In the Stinger for Episode 6, she shapeshifts into Captain Marvel as she did in the comics.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: By taking such a hard approach against the new enhanced individual, Agent Deever drove the community together to support Kamala even when they initially had mixed reactions to her. Agent Cleary had been trying to avoid this from the very beginning.

Added DiffLines:

* VillainousValour: Even after Kamran turns against them, when prison guards electrocute Kamran the Clandestines are furious and tries to help him. Downplayed in that once his mother orders him to be left behind, they reluctantly obey their leader.

egregarious is a glorious portmanteau, but no.


** Agent Deever's egregarious racism when tracking down the "enhanced individual", while sadly TruthInTelevision for a law enforcement officer when dealing with a case involving a person of color, [[spoiler:is very similar to the government's racism in the comics towards [[ComicBook/XMen mutants]]. Bruno reveals after looking at Kamala's genes that she has "a mutation".]]
