For authenticity does she marry her cousin and have mentally retarded children, or does that happen later in the series?

Looks like its getting review bombed by an awkward coalition of 'anti-Woke' types and Indians who are incensed that it portrays a Pakistani family. There's also a wave of neckbeards who seem to think that they diversity-washed a character rather than creating a whole new character, which is just bizarre given that is exactly what Kamala Khan is.

It was decent for what it was. Went in with low expectations, but it was decently close to the source material and different enough from the standard Marvel formula to be interesting. Its definitely aimed at a younger audience and it had a strong Scott Pilgrim vibe I liked. It also didn't push agenda, really, which was nice. We will see if that lasts.

Outside of her fangirling of Captain Marvel, does it have any tie-ins to the greater MCU? Or is it isolated in a bubble like Moon Knight?
I.E. do I need to watch this as it leads into something later like Loki/Wandavision/What If?, or just ignore it like Falcon & Winter Soldier.

This will lead into The Marvels, but if you dont have interest in that maybe not. Like all these characters will eventually matter to the overall storyline of "defeat Kang the Conqueror", but they will show up in more movies long before that is done

Based on episode 1 I'd rather watch this show than another Captain Marvel movie

My daughter (10 years old) and I just watched this. She really seemed to like it, and I enjoyed it as well. I'm glad they didn't woke it all up. It was a good first episode. Solid story, and my daughter really related to the parents telling her no. It makes sense. But it's a good story. I look forward to where this show goes. Now we'll have a Sunday tradition for a few weeks.

I enjoyed the second episode, I think the show so far has been great. To be honest if you want to do diversity, this is about as good as you can go about doing it. She’s Pakistani so it’s part of her life, but I don’t feel at any time so far that they want to beat you over the head with it. It’s just who she is, and everything about the culture is done very organicall.
Obviously it’s aimed at teens so some aspect of that I find annoying as an adult, but it’s just fun so far. I think the girl is just the perfect casting, she’s as much a fangirl in real life as she is as Kamala and that‘s kinda make her very endearing and somewhat relatable, I was a teen once who collected comics, and thought about super-heroes all the time and they weren’t real in my world as they in hers.
Hopefully the show continues on this path as it’s really enjoyabe.

I agree Kamala is endearing. Her whole family is, both her parents are great and the brother is too. All of the scenes with her family are the most enjoyable to me. The superhero and teen/school drama stuff is dull as fuck but the family keeps it interesting. That scene with her friend trying to convince Kamala's dad to vote for her was hilarious, and the mum steals the show every time she is on screen.
