i do wanna open the can of worms over how most transmasculine orientated spaces are extremely obsessed with western/European aesthetics that uphold the peak of white masculinity (cowboys and Greek gods for example) but with top scars attached or whatever progressive spin.

i don't think the majority of this is malicious on their part but it is alarming how many of them relish in this idea that the image of true masculinity is white men, while actively excluding and being racist towards trans men of color, especially the guys who don't pass or want to pass.

I feel like whenever you get too doomer about the idea that the entire population harbors some deep undeprogrammable homophobia you have to remember that in the 2010s hearts & minds were being changed by shit like Glee

anyway the only Kamala Khan content I really give a shit about is her original 2014 Ms Marvel comic run, and her time as the leader of the Champions (2017). everything else has been pretty skippable. but she's still my favorite new-age hero by far

I'm actually pretty mad. This isn't as simple as budgets. Removing Kamala's polymorphing is a huge crime against her character tbh.

In the comics, when she gets her powers, the first thing she ends up doing is shapeshift into Carol Danvers. Because she feels safer that way. It's all about her bad self image. She feels out of place everywhere. She wants to be someone else. Ms Marvel is everything she isn't: classically beautiful, strong, not to mention white. It's a commentary on beauty standards, on hero worship, and on insecurity.

Her initial arc is about embracing who she is. She has to stop chasing after the example of Carol Danvers. She has to make Ms Marvel her own. She rarely if ever changes her appearance later on. It's still something she *can* do, but the point is that she doesn't need to; she doesn't need to be the picture of western beauty to be a superhero. Her powers are weird and gross because that's part of what the story is trying to say.

Removing all that and replacing it with... glowy hard light powers is just.... Cheap. It cheapens the story. It cheapens why I like the character. I don't like it. Boo.
