Despite the fact that just one episode has been broadcast so far, the Ms. Marvel Disney+ show has piqued the interest of the large South Asian community, as the culture is finally given adequate representation in the realm of superheroes.
When writer G. Willow Wilson, Sana Amanat, and Adrian Alphona first introduced the Pakistani-American superhero in Marvel Comics in 2013, she became a groundbreaking character, and it appears that Kamala Khan will have a similar impact in live-action superhero media as well.

However, the programme has its enemies in the shape of a conservative Christian organisation that opposes Ms. Marvel becoming the MCU's next prominent superhero.

"Christians Against Ms. Marvel," a secret Facebook group with over 16,000 members, is the driving force behind this hatred for Kamala Khan. The group claims that the concert is the "greatest smack in the face for conservative Christians to date!" according to their description.
Furthermore, the organisation has taken issue with Marvel's "drive" to make Kamala Khan the franchise's face, rather than Carol Danvers. Disney has decided that instead of Carol Danvers, a gay Muslim should be the face of the brand.

It's amusing to see the gang express their displeasure with Marvel for attempting to make Kamala Khan the franchise's face, despite the fact that she'll most likely be a supporting character in Carol Danvers' Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, in 2023.

It's also amusing that they have a problem with the "gay Muslim" Kamala, despite the fact that Carol has been speculated to be queer in the MCU. In the end, this Facebook group is a hate-mongering collection of folks attempting to create a stir among Marvel and Disney fans, and the proof is in the pudding, as the organization's name history reveals that these conservative Christians are opposed to every big Disney project.
