Ms. Marvel (Page 2 of 3)

So, Kamala Khan has a lot of 'creator credits' two of which are editors [Sana Amanat & Stephen Wacker], two of which are artists [Adrian Alphona & Jamie McKelvie] but it seems that writer G. Willow Wilson did the most in crafting the personality, and possibly some of the background, of Kamala as she too grew up in NJ. Yet though Willow is Muslim she didn't grow up in the religion whereas Sana did and she is also Pakistani-American.

Amant works directly for MARVEL as an editor and serves as an executive producer in the Ms Marvel series. When asked about it she is quoted as saying (from an interview in EW on 5/11/22) that it was "fun to give Kamala different kinds of powers that feel big in scope and cinematic" and further that "the essence of what the powers are in the comics is there, both from a metaphorical standpoint and from a visual standpoint." Amanat has also spent time talking about what it seems she feels are the important parts of this story and those seems to be Kamala's experience being told through the lens of her wild imagination.

Meanwhile Wilson, co-creator and writer for the first sixty or so issues, is currently working on The Dreaming for DC Comics. She has no involvement with the Ms Marvel tv series and in fact (so far) seems to be pretty silent on the project... however in a EW interview from 12/14/2018 I found this [possibly] ironic section:

That long Wilson quote is very eloquently put and I think dead-on to why the power change just feels wrong to me. But so long as they get the rest of it ok and tell a half decent story I can look past that.

I agree and the last Ep was a step in the right direction... also with regards to the Partitioning story from the comics, it seems they are adjusting that and possibly doing some Nega-Band stuff here... but I guess we'll see?!?!

typcal yank misunderstanding of the partition/British leaving blaming the Brits for leaving the indigenous people to pickup the pieces. They wanted to get rid of the Brits pretty quick causing chaos, murder and mayhem until they left. British India was never about force of British arms ( there were very few)  but about the indigenous people cooperating. Once that went that was it, nothing to work with, they did it to themselves.

Right... like what was done in the States, round about 1776

I'll give it one more but if it's anything like the last two, I'M OUTTA HERE.

Same reason folks watch anything Marvel, cuz it's tied in to the rest of the stuff. Sadly, even though this is hardly stellar it's the least awful MCU of the calendar year.

Because there are TV shows and movies produced for kids, that adults can enjoy too?

I don't recall the titles, I've only watched a few of those since it's not my favorite genre. And the discussion would be quite off-topic.

Btw, Ms. Marvel's IMDb User Ratings page looks like mostly two camps voted: the "OMG, finally a teen Marvel show!" camp and the "WTF is this crap!?" camp.

That's it for me.  3 episodes and I'm done.  Awful.

Aww, I remember them from the X-Men... one of Alan Davis' creations, or at least he was always drawing them so I believe they were... either way that's a deep kinda weird cut, until you remember they are descendants of probably one of the few Middle Eastern magicalls not already assigned to a potential MCUatant.

I kept trying to remember all the characters from the comics wondering if the Ms Marvel writers tried making their MCU versions analogous to their comic counterparts but I found I recalled so few specifically... However, I did find this element intriguing enough to keep me invested in seeing how the PTB play this out. As for the story of the Ep itself... all I'm sayin' is, they better make these side characters in Kamala's life relevant in the future because we spent so much time with them.

My one... maybe not complaint but observation, is not how much time we spent at the wedding when there was so much story to unpack or follow up on but that after setting up her family as movie/tv strict and fast in assigning consequences to what they perceive as their daughter acting out, they don't even engage her on that level before the end of the Ep.
