MsMarvel Episode 5 Review by TheJonathanSim: Disney+ Series Falls Apart Prior to Finale
blasted Kamala Khan back to the Partition of India, the fifth and penultimate episode sends us even further into the past by developing the backstory of Aisha, Kamala’s great-grandmother. “Time and Again” opens with an old-fashioned documentary detailing the Partition before throwing us into 1942, where Aisha meets and falls in love with Hasan, an Indian independence activist.
The series premiere, directed by Adil & Bilall, featured such a fun style with the way text appeared on screen and all of the ways Kamala’s drawings were animated. Unfortunately, this episode, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, forgets about the style of those first two episodes, going down a more traditional period piece route.
At the show’s core, it is about good guys and bad guys pursuing a magical artifact that can be used for good and bad. This cliché story never quite gets used in an exciting way, but at the very least, the episode contains a time travel concept worth watching. After Najma stabs Aisha, Kamala arrives in the past and guides Sana back to her father using a trail of stars, an event previously referenced in the fourth episode.
The episode has a personal layer as it was written by Fatimah Asghar, a poet, and screenwriter whose family was deeply affected by the Partition depicted in this show. The way Asghar uses her family history within her art deserves praise, and the idea of spending time developing Aisha and Hasan works well on paper. However, in the context of a coming-of-age Marvel superhero show, the many ideas in this show never quite gel together the way they should.
