Ms. Marvel (film)/Tropes


 * Actor Allusion: The Inventor is voiced by Will Forte, who isn't a stranger to voicing clones of historical figures.
 * Adaptation Backstory Change: Tge Inventor. In the comics, he's an okd bird-looking clonebof Edison with a hatred of teenagers. Im the film, he's a teen clone with a human form whose lack of acceptance from both sides and repeated mistreatment drove him to villany.
 * Casting Gag: Kathreen Khavari voices Kamaka's mother, after voicing Kamaka herself in other projects.
 * Creator's Oddball: This is both the girst 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.
 * Evil Counterpart: The Inventor is this to Kamala. Both are superhuman teens who struggled with a balance between theur louves and origins. But whereas Kamala bad friends to help her go througth each day, the Inventor had none, resulting in him snapping and becoming a criminal mastermind.
 * 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 at one envolps herself to the Inventor, much like Mr. Fantastic did against Dr. Doom in the 2005 film.
 * Nightmare Fuel: In his backstory, the Inventor was a mismatched clone of Thomas Edison with bird DNA. He tried to have friends, but they mocked him for being too much like the real Edison, while his creator repriminded him for not being enough like Edison. One day, he snapped and grabbed his creator in the head as he screamed in agony. While we don't see the results, it is implied he killed him.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Tearjerker: The gilm gives a surpridingly 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.
