Marvel's new drama enables the first South Asian Muslim superhero. The "political correct&

[Global Times Special Reporter Lu Ke] Following "Moonlight Knight", another drama "Amazing Girl" under Marvel was launched last week. Falling into a controversy of "political correctness". So far, the entire Marvel's "fourth stage" has been focusing on "diversification" and "diversity" as a selling point, but this business idea has not brought enough box office feedback, nor has it been recognized by ethnic minorities and groups.

The theme of the comedy teenager

The protagonist of "Amazing Girl" on the 8th of the Disney platform is Kamara, a minority female middle school student living in New Jersey, USA (played by Pakistani Canadian actress Eman Villani). Captain Heroes and Surprise, one day suddenly had super powers because of a bracelet. The first season of the current broadcast is only 46 minutes, the freshness of rotten tomatoes reaches 97%, the audience index is 85%, and the media on the Metacritic website are divided into 78.

The episode of "Amazing Girl" is the theme of the comedy teenager. The overall tone is easy and lively. At the beginning of the chapter, most of the middle school students in the United States are the joy and sorrow of American middle school students. At the same time Internal conflicts caused by adolescence. At the theme of the intergenerational contradictions of the "diversified" group and the intergenerational contradictions of the immigration descendants, the Asian theme "Youth Transformers", which was well received at the beginning of the same year, is quite similar. Hollander's "Spider -Man" series.

Among the main creators of "Amazing Girl" are Muslims born in Morocco and women born in Pakistan, which incorporate some autobiographical components in the plot details, but the setting of the heroine still attracts many races and fear of remarks. Director Ediel · Abi said: "We are all Marvel fans, this is a drama to pay tribute to fans; in life, many people encounter the confusion of identity, I hope everyone pays attention to the positive side."

The first South Asian Muslim superhero

Different from the previous Super British "Peak" in the Marvel universe, the heroine of "Amazing Girl" Kamara is just an inconspicuous female middle school student. And the little ideal -became a super heroine like Captain Marvel. The main creative uses the street graffiti animation scene in the episode, rendering the huge influence of this popular culture on contemporary American boys and girls: homemade Cosplay clothing, excitement when participating in anime exhibition, and the fantasy of their own superpowers can easily resonate with young audiences Essence

At the same time, paying attention to minority ethnic groups and highlighting diversity are the "political correctness" of the current American society. The first episode of "Amazing Girl" shows the traditional customs of the Kamara family. Her family and the community's national culture reserved by the community Trying to integrate into the mainstream American society, but this process is not easy. Camala is still invisible discrimination on campus. These social topics can also help the play to gain attention and sympathy.

The Los Angeles Times commented that "Marvel boldly enabled the first South Asian Muslim superhero to expand the super -English group." "Variety Show" said that Camara is a convincing and dazzling adolescent image, and the creative power over her body overflows the screen.

The Guardian believes that "the entire story is full of lively, warm, witty and true charm." However, the "Independence" stated that the tone of the play is much brisk than those of "juvenile saving the world", but adult audiences may be difficult to accept these adolescent elements. Albert.com criticized the show "lack of innovation, such as the contradiction between parents and teenagers who extracted Chen Rotten from the comedy decades ago, and added some marginal culture as a condiment to recruit new audiences."

"Diversity" is destroying the Marvel universe

According to the statistics of "Forbes" in 2018, the main characters in the Marvel universe at that time were white, and the proportion of African and Asians accounted for only 20%and 5%. After creating unprecedented box office results in "Avengers 4", under the guidance of Marvel Films led by Kevin Feiqi, the new episodes and movies in the fourth stage are obviously based on white and men before the amendment. The mainstream perspective of the center, adding a large number of ethnic minorities, edge crowds and female heroes: "Black Widow" is a single movie about the female Avengers "Black Widow". Superhero movies, "Eternal clan" has more East Asian, Indian and African superhero, the leading actor of "Moonlight Cavaliers" Oscar Isaac has Latin blood, black people in "Falcon and Winter Soldier" Superhero Falcon takes over the American team's long mantle as the protagonist ...

Although a series of settings and operations ensure "political correctness", it has not obtained applause and affirmation of everyone. On the "Anime News Network", many iron rods have questioned: the so -called "diversity" is destroying the Marvel universe, but Disney and Marvel Pictures are still lonely and rudely using ethnic minorities to destroy the original comic book settings.
