Ms. Marvel (film)/Tropes

Tropes for Ms. Marvel

 * Actor Allusion: Robert Patrick again plays a Nazi-esque gigure in a comic-book adaptation.
 * Adaptation Distillation: The film combimes Ms. Marvel's origins with her encounter with HYDRA.
 * Adaptational Nice Guy: Captain Marvel is far less arrogant and abbrasive than most potrayals, even commeting how she feels she wouldn't have accomplished her latest mission without the Avengers. Producer/write Sana Amanat said this was because "they wanted Kamala to have a reason to like her".
 * Casting Gag: Kathreen Khavari voices Kamaka's mother, after voicing Kamaka herself in other projects.
 * Company Cross-References:
 * Fitting for a Marvel/Disney film, a Baymax toy can be seen in Kamala's room.
 * Mrs. Potts and Chip can be seen in a pawn shop.
 * Kamala's first clothes in the film have the same colors as Luz Noceda's main outfit.
 * Creator's Oddball: This is both the first animated film from Marvel Studios Animation, and Marvel Studios' first theatrical film outside the MCU.
 * The Cameo: The Avengers make a cameo in a news report near the beginning of the film.
 * Dumb Jock: Averted. Bruno is a jock, but also very smart.
 * Fridge Brilliance: Kamala's outfit at the start of the film shares colors with Luz Noceda's. Both are seeing as weirdos and outcasts simply for being who they are. And both end up Nazi-esque figures.
 * Mythology Gag:
 * The Terrigenesis process is depicted similarly to the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. The film also adapts the series' plotline of Terrigen Mist contaminating sealife.
 * Kamala uses a scooter througth the film, an homage to her "E,biggen-Bike" from Spidey and His Amazing Friends.
 * The film begins with Kamala listening to "Creep" by Radiohead, in homage to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
 * Kamala at one envelops herself against the Inventor, much like Mr. Fantastic did against Dr. Doom in the 2005 Fantastic Four film.
 * Among the things Kamala wrote in her bucket-list are going througth a tour of the Avengers Tower. Captain America actually took her and Inferno on a tour througth the tower on the Avengers Assemble episode " The Kids Are Alright", her first promenient appearance outside of comics.
 * The order of the people Kamala first shapshifts into is the same as in Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors: First Captain Marvel, then her own mother, and lastly Captain America.
 * One of Kamala's helmets resembles Moon Girl's helmet from her TV show.
 * At the climax, Kamala recreates the "embiggen" scene from her show's final episode.
 * At the end, Kamala recreates the "selfie mode" from Marvel's Spider-Man (2018).
 * Lovable Jock: Again, Bruno may be a jock, but still is Kamala's friend.
 * Pragmatic Adaptation: To cut off the years of Carol Danvers becoming Ms. Marvel and then Captain Marvel, the film (much like the MCU) establishes Danvers as simply being Captain Marvel and Kamala originating the Ms. Marvel mantle.
 * Role Reprise:
 * Sandra Saad returns to voice Kamala Khan.
 * Brian Bloom and Jennifer Hale return as Captain America and Carol Danvers from The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
 * Mick Wingert reprises his role as Iron Man.
 * Shout-Out:
 * Kamala finds out about her powers when she looks at herself in a mirror to see herself as Captain Marvel, much like Mei Lee and Scott Howard did.
 * Kamala at one point recreates the Gum Gum Pistol attack.
 * Tearjerker: The gilm gives a surprisingly sobbering backstory to Kamala's love of superheroes: They are the odd ones out and people love them, whereas when she is the odd one out she is bullied.
 * Truer to Text: Not only is Kamala a polymorphic Inhuman instead of a mutant with hard light powers like her MCU potrayal, but the storyline as a whole is much closer to the comics than the Ms. Marvel series.

Tropes for Ms. Marvel's Marvelous Life

 * Ascended Fangirl: Deconstructed. Ms Marvel's excitement over meeting Spider-Man cause her to lose focus and cause her troubles while trying to help him fight the Green Goblin.
 * Company Cross References: One of Kamala's ideas for a Halloween costume resemble Vee's human appearance.
 * Mythology Gag: Among the costumes Kamala tries for Halloween are Mr. Knight and Jean Grey.
 * Casting Gag: Mark Hamill voices the Green Goblin, after voicing the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man: The Animated Series
 * Role Reprise: Josh Keaton reprises his role as Spider-Man.
