Ms. Marvel

Just like with WandaVision, these are just quick thoughts as I binge through the series. - This is the most inventive project in the MCU, hands down; whether talking about general shots or ways of showing dialogue/images in the background. It's all so fun to look at. - The scene of Kamala saying her dad is embarrassing breaks my freaking heart😭😭😭 - I know they've said (& this is an end of the series thing, but I'm bringing it up now so to Kamala's powers "manifesting" now) that Kamala is a mutant & that if given the chance, that's how they would've liked to have written her originally in the comics (& she may be that now?....idk), but from my understanding, mutants powers unlock on their own (it's like puberty); they aren't usually unlocked through "3rd party" means (right?). I think it's even brought up at the end that the bangle didn't give her powers, but that's certainly how it seems to play out... - Zoey being like "she saved me because she knew I could handle it" classic popular girls trying to remain relevant😂😂 - Okay, they do say the bangle just "unlocked" her powers, so maybe it still works.... - I love the training montage! We don't get enough of those in comic book media - I really love the "coming of age" feel that this series has! It's so fun and unique (like many movies in the MCU are, unique genres) - Goal: to watch these Bollywood films that are mentioned in this show - I remember when I first watched this show, as soon as the dad mentioned that the mom's mom found her way back on the train by "following a trail of stars", I just KNEW it would have something to do with Kamala....I just didn't know how, exactly. - "Did you not eat anything? Or did you eat too much?😭"😂😂😂 - The Illuminaunties😭😂😂😂 - The complete emotional blackmail that Kamala's bestie plays on Kamala's dad CRACKS me up😂😂 - "sorry... I'm supposed to say 'latinx' now aren't I?"... the Hayward of this series. This cop lady annoys me. - Yes, let's just use excessive force to bring down a super powered person who's clearly trying to do good deeds; smart, feds.... - I get everything happened behind an armored truck, but they couldn't hear a car stopping & speeding off?? - The fact that Kamala is a "Clandestine"/Djinn makes her seem less like an "X-Men"/mutant (even thug that's what the ending of the series implied); my understanding is that mutants are more "humans whose genes mutated to give them powers". I wouldn't expect Jane (a human) & Thor's (an asguardian) baby (if they had one) to be considered a mutant if it had powers; I'd see it more as a "demigod". - you know how if a southern woman says "Bless your heart" we've come up understand that it's code for "F&$% You" (essentially)? Well, when the..."priest"(?) figure tells the DODC woman to take off her shoes next time she enters the mosque, I feel that same vibe, lol. Also, fuck that agent & her disrespect... - I love the family dynamic/aspect of the show; it's so wholesome, and there are constantly lessons being taught by both the mom & dad🥲 - I'd love to see more of this Red Daggers vs the Clandestine "war" that seems to have been going on for a while, and going off of that, I hope we eventually get to see/enter the Clandestine world - I love when media can give us a history lesson. Now, as I understand it, this series barely touches on everything that happened during the Partition, but it's at least a start for people who don't know about it (🙋‍♂️) to do some more research. - "Magnum got lost once & I had him microchipped" -- "Mom, Magnum is a dog; Kamala is a girl. If it was legal, believe me, I would do it"😂😂😂 - I love how Kamala is slowly, piece-by-piece getting her Ms. Marvel outfit/costume given to her. - Damage Control is the WORST!!! - I love how accepting Kamala's family is of her powers - Kamala going on her powered, sky run is so comic booky, & I LOVE it!! - The Shiek quoting Lincoln, but the DODC agent thinking it's a foreign person's quote is perfection & continues to show her terrible news - "Wait! You need disguises" hands the boys hats😂😂 - Like, I get it, family is everything, but come on, your mom was okay with destroying the world, but then sacrificed herself... so now you're going "villain mode" just because she died?? I mean, if she was killed in battle, then I'd get it, but she essentially killed herself... - I know they say their powers are light based, but they seem more... crystal-like than light imo.. - "Look around, they'll never accept me..." hmm!! Maybe because you keep attacking people?? "... they'll never accept you either." Kinda seems like they have accepted her.. - I love seeing people who do wrong get their comeuppance; just having the the other DODC agent call the other and say "don't say a word, you're relieved of duty, and there's another team going to clean up your mess" brings such joy to my ears😊 - I get they're saying that a mutation in Kamala's genes is what allowed the bangle to unlock her powers/ connection to the noor, but the rest of her family couldn't, but I again keep going back to the fact that that doesn't make sense due to everyone on her maternal side of the family essentially are demi-Clandestine's, so they should all technically be able to unlock that connection to the Noor. Now, if they went with Kamala's original powerset (being stretchy like Mr. Fantastic), then her getting powers because she's a mutant would make much more sense...
