According to Omelet, the activist delved into the analysis of the series on her personal blog. “During the first episodes of Ms. Marvel (yes, I got to see them before), I was struck by how familiar the life of Kamala Khan seemed to me,” he wrote.
Yousafzai added: “She talks to her friends about the bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, listens to Pakistani pop music and eats chicken biryani with her family. And I suspect that many Pakistani children will see their own parents in the genius father and strict mother of Kamala.” She ended by saying that Ms. Marvel “is giving the fans [a representatividade] that she didn’t have as a child.”
