What does every story about a South Asian family need? Some naach-gaana (dancing-singing) at a wedding, of course. Ms Marvel is no different. This Wednesday, as the third episode of the Disney+ Marvel Cinematic Universe series released, fans were delighted to see a desi wedding, complete with Bollywood music. Many took to social media, sharing they had tears of joy watching it. Also read: With AR Rahman, Coke Studio, Riz Ahmed, and Jalebi Baby, Ms Marvel brings desi music to Marvel Cinematic Universe

Spoilers for episode 3 of Ms Marvel ahead!

Ms Marvel is the story of Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American girl living in Jersey city, who is dealing with newfound superpowers. In the third episode, which began streaming on Disney+ Hotstar on Wednesday afternoon, Kamala’s brother Amir gets married. This means the Marvel show includes a long sequence about a desi Muslim wedding, set to iconic songs. While there are some inaccuracies in how the wedding was depicted, fans were willing to overlook much of it just because it allowed them to see a desi wedding in the MCU.



with a mehndi sequence, which shows Amir’s shoes being stolen, and not just one pair, but all of them. The scene was aptly set to the classic Hum Aapke Hain Koun song Joote Do Paise Lo. This was followed by the wedding and a reception-cum-sangeet that saw Kamala’s family put up dance performances for the bride and the groom. This sequence saw her parents dance to Helen’s famous song Yeh Mera Dil from the 1978 film Don while Kamala and her cousins performed Dil Bole Hadippa’s title track.



Taking to Twitter after the episode aired, many fans appreciated that a desi wedding sequence was now part of the MCU. “I can’t believe we got a desi wedding in the MCU, I teared up. Representation matters,” tweeted one fan. Another viewer wrote, “The wedding sequence was amazing.” Many viewers pointed out that there were a few errors in how the wedding was depicted. For one, the groom and bride don’t usually sit to next to each other at a traditional Nikaah and the sangeet takes place before it, not after. However, many fans responded saying it was just the makers taking ‘creative liberties’.

Ms Marvel stars Iman Vellani as Kamala, while her family is played by a trio of Indian actors Mohan Kapur, Zenobia Shroff, and Saagar Shaikh. Farhan Akhtar and Fawad Khan also have cameos in the six-episode show but they are yet to be seen. Iman will reprise her role in the MCU film The Marvels later this year.




 
Racist MCU fans are review bombing it on IMDB and other places.


But their is a lack of white people in the show, so how possibly can white people watch this and relate to the show and characters

White people only have 55675446776543456 shows with a white lead

Clearly shows a immigrant take over of the west
 
There are good things in the show , but lot of stuff is being added to somehow capture large indian market , this partition stuff could be avoided , Partition is not that big deal for Pakistanis and movie showed indian narrative of some india got divided but its just mostly division of two provinces of british south asian empire, with two ethnicites Punjabis and Bengalis.
 
This show is shit. Marvel has been super wack recently

2008 - 2013 marvel was good. Anything beyond was shit.
 
Good to see some ‘rep’ but hey it’s not perfect.
Marvel generally sucks now though.
Too many superhero films full stop.
 
lots of propaganda and a wet pakistani liberal`s dream..thats what this show is..the actress probably has zero link to our culture and is speaking on our behalf............shitty show!
 
Genuine question

In the show it seems that people who migrated from India (non Punjabi) still have some kind of affinity toward Indian culture from their province (if not toward India the country). Is this true?

And if yes, does this create a kind of schism between Pakistanis who are from non immigrant backgrounds - like Punjabi and Sindhi people?

@Areesh is one of em lol 🤣, that should answer your question tbh

But to answer your question - they're hardcore from my experience
 
I dislike seeing Asians in American movies. A few are ok, but not otherwise. Only whites, blacks and hispanics for me, otherwise it does not feel like an American movie.
