There's a code here, Marvel. You need to follow it.
I’ve long held a grudge against Marvel productions for their lazy typecasting of villains, most egregiously whencast the tremendous Egyptian actor Sayed Badreya to play a terrorist just a few years after he produced and starred in, a short meant to raise awareness for how damaging those portrayals can be. Yet as a card-carrying New Jersey Muslim, I could not in good conscience skip, the Garden State-set story of a Muslim teenager discovering her superpowers.
For as long as I’ve been alive, there’s been a cardinal unspoken rule when it comes to filming in Jersey: Come film our seedy underbellies, but don’t you dare make this place look inviting. New Jersey is known for a few things, and. But its residents have long relied on that image problem. It’s what keeps the place cheap. New Jersey is a beautiful place full of beautiful people and endless things to do.
In the show, Kamala Khan, a Muslim teenager, discovers a family heirloom, a bangle, that helps her harness the power inside her. She sneaks out of her bedroom to explore the city, and her new powers, with her best friend who lives nearby. But anyone who knows Jersey could sniff out the Hollywood magic that this is actually Atlanta dressed up to look like Jersey. Their purpose-built mosque, decorated with the beautiful dome and tall minaret, was a dead giveaway.
