    Disney+ Ms. Marvel (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    I thought she looked rather casual, as far as Carol goes. Something about her hair didn't look "battle ready" but instead looked "nice day off hanging with Fury". Though the gloves are certainly more of a combat thing. It's also possible (likely?) that the "swap" isn't where we start at in The...

    Disney+ Ms. Marvel (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    The post-finale buzz and interviews, including Iman Vellani's AMA linked in my earlier post, reveal that even in the comics Ms. Marvel was always intended as being a mutant. The change was "from the top", and specifically from Ike Perlmutter. The quick summary is that Perlmutter was angry that...

    For those interested in this sort of thing, Iman Vellani did an AMA over on Reddit at r/marvelstudios It's really fun, and it's clearer than ever that she was perfectly cast. Her "war" with Kevin Feige over the 616/199999 universe designation is awesome. I think I read all of her responses and...

    The concerns about "why doesn't hero X help out with villain Y" is always a problem, and in my view always a valid question. Comics have been struggling with it since the beginning. One thing to consider at the moment is that the heroes lack leadership. Tony and Steve are gone. Carol is gone...

    At the very least, Tiamut is a boon for the Earth's home builders and house flippers. Granite counter tops for all!

    I'll add to that the potential implications of the Celestial Tiamut emerging from the Earth. There's could be a ton of mutating radiation (and cancer causing?) floating about because of that...

    The only downside to Kamala and Carol swapping places (I'm assuming that's what happened) is that Kamala won't be able to be a guest on Scott Lang's podcast in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Speaking of Ant-Man and mutants, I think it's fair to say that once the Fantastic Four and the X-Men...

    Excellent first season! I think making Kamala a mutant is smart. So happy to hear the word again, and even happier to hear the cue from the their theme (echoing its recent play in Dr. Strange). I like the various Inhuman comic runs (short as they were), but it never seemed to fit Kamala's...

    She was almost distractingly gorgeous. I'm really really enjoying Ms. Marvel. As I wrote in my post #84, Iman Vellani is a total star. She should 100% be the centre piece for this phase (or the next, at the very least). Whatever re-writes are necessary, do 'em. Her, Simu Liu, and Paul Rudd...

    That was my immediate reaction, too. Another 80s reference was that during his visit to the school counsellor, Bruno's outfit was like Marty McFly's from Back to the Future (this reference is from an issue of the comic series, too).

    Great first episode! I loved the visual style. Shades of Into the Spider-Verse and Scott Pilgram. The bit with the neon signs showing the text messaging was particularly awesome. Iman Vellani is...sort of a star. I know Feige and his team have the contours of the next decade sketched out, but...

    No time like the present to get "the look" right before they need to get it right for Fantastic Four. Though...perhaps Marvel doesn't want Ms. Marvel to "overlap" Mr. Fantastic's "look".
