Episode 152: Geek Girl Reviews Ms Marvel: A Fun, Cultural Masterpiece with Jasmin Joe Star

Ms Marvel is just about the most fun Marvel has ever had creating their TV shows. #Fact. There is so much to love about this show: the characters, the relatableness, the sincerity, the hilarity, the diversity.

We knew we HAD to get Jasmin Joe Star on to talk about her absolute bae of a superhero. Jasmin is THE Ms Marvel expert, and being both Muslim and Middle Eastern, we were even more excited to get her perspectives on what this show gets right. Which, great news, is a whole bunch!

What a breath of fresh air Ms Marvel is! We have positive representations of Muslims. Just normal, everyday interactions of Middle Eastern families. A whole bunch of Partition history you probably didn’t get taught in school. AND SO MUCH MORE LIKE ACTUAL SUPERHERO SHIT.

Spoiler Warning

There are ZERO spoiler free moments in this episode. If you haven’t seen it (stop what you’re doing immediately and go watch it), skip this episode and we’ll see you next week!

Let’s get into Ms Marvel! What we love, what we hate, what could’ve been improved. Jasmin is a wealth of knowledge and an absolute delight to have on!
