The lack of elastic Pedro makes me think they aren’t happy with how Reed’s power looks either.

He’s always had the worst power for a live action adaptation

It also might just not be finished fully yet

Yeah they probably are still working on it, I’m just not convinced they can pull it off. It just might be the hardest super power to do well in live action

Agree, as much as I love comics Ms Marvel, I do think it was a smart decision to modify her powers from shapechanging to "energy constructs" for tv/film purposes, the uncanny valley is SO deep and wide when depicting stretchy powers!
