That said, I had issues.One of the things that turned me off from the initial trailer was that some of the cartoonish graphics popping up on screen really reminded me of a kids show but when I actually saw them in the first episode I thought they worked.... and then they disappeared.... and then they came back in the last episode. It was weirdly inconsistent.I really enjoyed the look into Pakastani culture and was prompted to do some reading on The Partition so kudos to the show for the education. That said, the time spent in Pakistan didn't really seem to add anything to the show that couldn't have happened in New Jersey. All it did was sideline a lot of the supporting characters.The little bits that led to all of the things that eventually came together for her costume; the broken necklace shaped like a lightning bolt, her getting the scarf, etc. just seemed like too much of a stretch. Almost every bit of her costume came from a scene like that and it was too much. It felt very much like the needless Easter Eggs from Solo: A Star Wars Story.The threat of the interesting Djinn ending in the penultimate episode only to make the main bad guy in the finale the horrible and uninteresting Agent Deever from Damage Control was also not well thought out.All of that aside, I am looking forward to seeing Ms. Marvel in The Marvels.Edited to add --- And making her a mutant seemed a bit strange and out of nowhere. Wasn't being a half-Djinn enough?</blockquote>
