Ms. Marvel on D+

[Jack The Tripper]

trust me as an xmen reader for almost 3 decades.

Now I don’t know who to trust, as I too have read X-Men comics for decades, and am reading their current stories. What we perceive a set of characters to be doesn’t mean that’s ALL they have to be.

This goes for Ms Marvel as well, as I’ve seen a lot of people perhaps going overboard with their critiques (telling the writers they’ve messed up the whole show/character etc) - when really we just need to wait and see.

Kamala's personality is on point.

I get people being bugged by the change in her powers but lets wait and see what Marvel does. It's possible that the show ends with her gaining her comic book powers or she gets them in CM2. It's not possible to do the Terrigen Mist bomb in the MCU right now. Inhumans sank as a franchise and if Kamala is a mutant that puts her closer to the X-Men than Carol Danvers. The third option would be that she gains her powers from something connected to her heritage (this seems to be Marvel's modus operandi for their non white heroes; BP with his herb and Shang Chi with his ten rings) or something connected to the Kree which would justify her involvement in a Carol Danvers story.

Both Kamala and Monica Rambeau are already confirmed for The Marvels (which is the sequel to Captain Marvel). Hell, we've seen pics of Kamala's actress in her new outfit for that film already.

My mistake I meant the captain marvel 2 movie which is called the marvels or something like that. there is no ms marvel movie. I had zero clue Kamala is in the second film. so I am guessing she will play off Brie Larson's Carol?

Because even Kamala gets hit with "needs a new merchandiseable costume for next appearance."

[Kaitou D. Kid]

Green Lantern powers won't allow her to shrink and be literally small when she's feeling depressed, morph into something when she's in a panic or grow in size when excitable. It will not be the same.

I don't need to watch the show to know the change will fundamentally alter the character relationship with her powers and how they function. The cartoonish expressions won't be possible with quantum bands. Next you will tell me there is no difference if Spider-Man has web shooters or organic webbing

100% spot on.

Also, Raimi was the only guy who ever used Spider-Man's webs as a metaphor for you-know-what. No one ever implied that about webshooters. There is a reason for that.

Kamala in the comics is also a person that can, change her body anytime to look like Carol's, but chooses not to. She chooses to be herself and show her real face even though as a brown teen she will experience more ageism and racism by doing this. Now that's gone too.

Ms. Marvel to Receive Theatrical Release in Pakistan

0:25 really makes it look like she's stretching...

[Totoro Man]

The change to her power set is unfortunate to me, but the series looks fun! It reminds me of the first kick ass movie, just without the r rated elements.

I think it’ll be a fun watch!

the trailer made me think of Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" far more than "Kick Ass".... which would make a lot more sense given that this would be in D+

Feige finally addressed the power change.

"We adapt the comics; it's not an exact translation," Feige told Empire about all the changes to Ms. Marvel's backstory. "[Kamala] came about in a very specific time within the comic-book continuity. She is now coming into a very specific time within the MCU continuity. And those two things didn’t match."

I get it, they couldn't use the Inhumans, but I'm not sure they quite adapted her powers as well in spirit as they might think they have.

If you have two heroes (Carol and Monica) that fly, manipulate energy and breathe in space you don't want one (Kamala) that can't fly, can't manipulate energy and can't breathe in space. Maybe they thought it was too difficult to write around so they decided to give her Quantum Bands.

Yeah. Brand synergy seems to be the main reason for her change in power.

I know a part of Khamala arc is that she is different from Carol, but that works so good in comic because they subvert the expectative that members of a "superhero family" have similar powers.

That situation about "superhero families" isn't so common in the MCU (yet), so the subversion wouldn't be so strong.

Plus the mist bomb was also playing into a teenager's uncertain future. Everything changes now that she can literally shapeshift.
