(Spoilers!)
@LunchGoddess How come you always end up here every week with the worst and twisted takes over every single thing ? X-Men were freaking created because of politics !!!! and yes whitewashing is an actual word.
@LunchGoddess via Google Whitewashing: deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something)
Ok, I like the grounded approach that Kamala and Muneeba take a flight to Karachi under the pretext that Sana isn't doing well. Would have a been much if Kamala finds out her bangle can teleport there or something. But taking a fish out of water and putting her in a new location advances her arc, the episode still felt... idk overstuffed and slowed down when maybe it should be barreling towards the finale.
Whoa, so Sana is loaded... and Muneeba gave all that up to move to the US to "start over." Liked the moment when the aunt mentioned Muneeba was a rebel when they discussed Kamala's name. Dug the parallelism of mothers+daughters issues running in the family as well as it's not just Kamala grappling with the theme of the fractured identity. Visualized so well with Sana's art room, the talk between Sana and Muneeba, the man stuck sitting between Kamala and Muneeba in the plane. Kamala's banter with the cousins was interesting. Again showing the divide culturally and generational. And building on how "lost" Kamala is at this point in her life and finding a purpose.
Hey, that Supermax in the She-Hulk trailer! Ok, so it turned out to be Damage Control's prison facility. Should have observed a six feet rule. They got to work on their security protocols. I guess that's why Wong can pluck Blonsky out for the Golden Daggers Club then take him back, lol. That was cold for Kamran to get dumped.
Pretty neat there's a secret society that opposes the ClanDestine and further info about the Noor Dimension and the implications of opening the portal are as disastrous as implied last week. Hmm, so I guess Noor is to the Noor Dimension as Quantum Energy is to the Quantum Realm.
And another piece of her super suit achieved and some training! Also lol, another teen boy to flirt with. The Ninja Turtles reference made me chuckle given how its origins tie to Marvel Comics.
Funniest bit was Kamala doing that awful dagger throw - a remainder that she's still really just a kid in the MCU not a full on superhero.
I guess the ClanDestine were loaded enough to somehow quickly get to Karachi despite being fugitives...
I also thought that's Aisha's memories Kamala is seeing that got unlocked by contact with Najma's Noor weapon...
While I'm fine with world-building and mythology taking place over a few episodes rather than jammed into just one, the pace still felt disjointed and not really feeling the ClanDestine as the series big bad yet. Still bland BUT did raise the eye brow when we got confirmation showing that yes, they're killers.
@Guccigang2121 At this point with the shows that have come out, I wouldn't be mad or shocked if we don't see the Ms. Marvel suit until the end of episode 6.
@Venom1502jw @Ewysgarcoyustcrouiwetsnro I'm not going to argue with people who clearly don't consider my side, I resolved this conflict by saying we can agree to disagree,
@LunchGoddess Your take is self-contradictory. Last week, you were like 'Marvel is not representing my culture correctly' and this week you are blaming Marvel for even trying.
Ugh there is so much contreversy on Ms Marvel I wish didn't exist, people are blowing up one single scene about the joke 'whitewashing' . I hate it. I'm unfollowing this post.
@Venom1502jw Because it isn't representing Islamic culture correctly. I assume Ms. Marvel is Sunni, and even though I am a shia, I can tell you that Ms. Marvel isn't following Sunni culture.
Most people don't follow their religion to the last word.
Yeah, but Kamala Khan isn't even trying.
Like ?
What do you think?
