Ms. Marvel Episode 1 Easter Eggs
The following contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel Episode 1, “Generation Why.”Introduced to the comic book world in 2013, Kamala Khan gets her highly anticipated Disney Plus series, fronted by newcomer Iman Vellani in the titular role of Ms. Marvel. The first episode acts largely as an introduction to the character, her friends, and her family. It also, however, acts as a good snapshot as to just how the average person who might not live in a superhero battleground views the Avengers.
Kamala is, of course, a huge fan of Captain Marvel, but with the first annual Avengers Con in the premiere episode, there is a plethora of references to the other superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are plenty of nods to the wider MCU as well as to the comic books that inspire the series.
Ms. Marvel: Who Is The Red Dagger?
“Generation Why” opens with Kamala’s own story of a battle for the Avengers. In the comics, she’s a fanfiction writer, and it’s nice to see that maintained for the series. Here, however, her story is accompanied by illustrations and animation of the characters. When she discusses Captain Marvel, her look changes quite a few times.
In particular, Carol’s hair goes through multiple changes in one sequence. All of those hairstyles are ones the audience has seen for her in the MCU, though the average resident of the universe might not have. It’s a fun nod to those movie viewers who questioned her different hairstyles in her different movie appearances.
The editing also gets to create a fun nod to Superman with the introduction of Captain Marvel to the scene. Before Kamala discusses Captain Marvel flying in to save the day, she features an image of a bird, and then a plane, before spotlighting the flying hero.
