Ms. Marvel: Season 1

1x05 Time and Again

Some great cultural elements and history continue to be explored, but once again a Marvel show uses almost an entire episode late into the series to flashback and provide a bunch of background information and exposition that forces the main story to a screeching halt right before the finale. This is something that the MCU Disney+ shows have really struggled with. I like what they explored in the flashbacks this episode and especially with Kamala traveling back to the partition, but I just think they spent too much time in flashbacks for this being the penultimate episode. We did get important forward plot movement but it felt somewhat rushed and tagged onto the end because we spent a large chunk of the episode outside of the main story. Either the episode needed to be longer or there needs to be more episodes in the season.
