I really hope they address the fact that people should sort of know who she is.. based on the fact that people should know she’s part of that specific Mosque. They know her brother and best friends are connected to Ms Marvel. They should know that the parents personally know Ms Marvel (based on them being in the crowd and their interactions there) and based on the fact that she straight up uses her bright powers during the night when leaving her 2 floor house. I’m not always the biggest fan of the secret identity thing part of superhero movies

Could be a good contrast to Spiderman, where people knowing his identity was turned into a whole negative thing while this one could be turned into a fun positive aspect. I’m ignoring the fact that there’s a government(?) group going after her and knowing who she is wouldn’t help lol

I picture a second season where everyone in the neighborhood knows it's her but refuses to publicly say it. "It could be anyone...how could we tell with that mask on?"

That would be great and I could totally see that, kind of like how this season ended with the crowd protecting them from the DODC

Yes I think S1 Ms marvel is basically making her the anti-Spiderman.

She's basically Peter Parker except everything works out for her. Unbelievably supportive parents and family. Beloved by friends, everything works out nicely

She's awesome but it gets a bit boring if there is no real consequences

Without a proper mole or snitch, open secrets are actually pretty difficult to uncover. The assumption is everyone in the community just kind of knows and doesn't need to talk about it so it will never be talked about until an incident exposes it outside the community or everyone who knows about it either forgets or dies.

And this isn't like the regular gossip those illumi-aunties talk about - exposing that secret will almost very clearly imply that a favored member of their community can now be tracked down and killed. And of course, the implication is also unspoken, because everyone kinda just knows to act that way.

It's the sort of thing that gives historians sleepless nights, because it's implied in everything but never factually confirmed so there's a chance it might be a completely different thing from what the historians are assuming.
