That was pretty good. It's interesting to see Nitkia like this. The fan fiction twist was fun. The conversation with Emma was okay. I didn't like Tony flirting with her. Not because a married couple can't openly flirt. It just feels weird knowing who wrote it. Regardless, this was decent. I'm curious to see where it ends up.

So uh… did I miss Bruno getting “cured” or did they just forget to draw in his mobility aids

HER FACE!!!

Iman Vellani is the best... MASSIVE Ms. Marvel fan, gets cast as Ms Marvel and then gets to write Ms Marvel comics... Her excitement standing in front of her first issue is everything!

Tony, please stop traumatizing Kamala 😭

BTW, Kamala's past as an Inhuman is not being erased. She's a mutant and an Inhuman, like the Beyonder.

Huh- I didn’t know the Beyonder was inhuman and mutant either (the only time that I cared about that character was when Claremont wrote him- Claremont really can make ANY character likable… or when Spider-Man was teaching him to poop 🤣)

I still…don’t care for it. I liked Kamala as an inhuman, there was no reason to change it other than “MCU-synergy” and frankly….it sounds like bad fan fiction…

Frankly it pisses me off comics are kowtowing so much to the MCU, because it SUCKS for people who don’t care for the movies.

I know I am going to make some people mad by saying this…but Martin Scorsese *is* a bit right- they DO feel like amusement park movies. They’re not deep cinema; they’re very simplistic writing and cinematography.

I don’t think something being purely entertaining IS bad or wrong- I actually think people who hype up Tarantino, Nolan, or Spielberg as not being this are also kind of wrong because while they’re great films… they’re often not exploring deep concepts.

I personally love old screwball comedies and swashbuckling films and musicals…but I would never argue it’s on the same level as Bergman, or even directors like Mankiewicz or Hitchcock….

The problem is that Superhero films used to have a “style”- they used to feel like a “creative project” instead of pure “cash grab” and “banging action figures together”.

Singer, no matter how you feel about him, his X-films had a “style” to them. So did Burton’s Batman films. So did Synder and Nolan. So did Raimi. So did Whedon.

Now, I can’t tell who the director is on most DC or Marvel movies. Synder (again, no matter how you feel about him) was the last director who had a clear vision and aesthetic for his films, whether you loved it or hated it.

I would say Star Wars has much of the same problem- love him or hate him, George Lukas at least had a clear aesthetic and style. His films were at least always visually interesting.

There’s a line between art and money- it’s fine for art to make money, but if you go too far into Capitalism…people start feeling it’s inauthentic and JUST about making money (the difficulty of Warhol and Damien Hirst’s legacies lol!). I think Disney crossed too far into Capitalism that people just feel annoyed watching their films.

Art has to somewhat “feel” like art…otherwise it just feels cheap. (I also feel like this is why Taylor Swifts recent album crashed and burned- too far into “Capitalism” that it feels unauthentic and “cheap”…but I already digressed enough lol)

So yeah- I think it’s a mistake for comics to embrace the movies and not be its own separate entity, because the movies kind of *are* a fad and creative project that’s losing steam….where comics can usually last for long periods of time

KAMALA! KHAN'S! INHUMAN! STATUS! WAS! NOT! RETCONNED!

She is (partially) an Inhuman AND a mutant. It is so so important to her identity to be multiple things at once so I'm unsurprised at this development.

Iman Vellani's depiction of the identity struggle in Ms Marvel: The New Mutant is so beautifully done that it forces the audience member to try to come to terms with their own identity. (Kamala in the show dismissing the mutation as "it's just another label" was such an easy way to show this side of her without making it a revisited plotline too - though if we ever got a season 2, I'd anticipate it getting addressed in a vague way close to the comic)

Ms. Marvel The New Mutant #1

I've read almost every Kamala Khan story and this was def good! It was interesting. It felt like her voice. It was fun. As much as I don't like her suddenly becoming a mutant, I am intrigued. I don't get the line about how she's been a mutant for a decade. That was weird and confusing. There was also A LOT of narration. Easily could cut that in half and we wouldn't miss anything. But otherwise, it was a solid first issue. I'm excited to see where this goes. It'll take a bit to get used to the X-Men aesthetic.

They're basically BFF's now so I'm sure it would be ok with Carol!!
