    I was hoping for this. When I watched it I immediately thought "I hope Nasser watches this, he would love it". Also I'm curious about what a muslim from the actual middle east would think about this show. Personally, I love seeing people here in the US get bent all out of shape that the MCU is giving us a muslim superhero, saying it's gone "woke" blah blah blah. Screw those people, I'm glad they're triggered. Plus, this was a really good first episode.

      Yup. Pretty much just, yup. Acknowledging the existence of other human beings who more or less live next door is not being "woke" in any pejorative sense. Do they seriously believe that if they close their eyes really tight, then everyone who doesn't look like them will disappear? And why in the name of all that's holy would they _want_ that to happen? (They did the same thing with Shang-Chi. Oh, look, it's a person who belongs to the fastest growing immigrant population in North America. Naturally, it means they're pandering to Beijing. Seriously, WTF is wrong with their brains?)

    I adore this series. Just as a lifelong fangirl. :D
    Representation has improved a lot in the last ten years or so--not just in representing more people, but also in representing them _well._ Not only is the portrayal (apparently) accurate, but it is not exoticised. Kamala is a girl who's just living her life in the context of her culture, not stopping every six minutes to say, "You see, this is what is done in my culture (which is so obviously different and foreign that it must be explained at every opportunity)." It's both all-encompassing and totally unremarkable to her... you know, the way people live their lives 99.9% of the time. Not only is this a better moral position (can we please stop othering each other?), it makes for better, more grounded storytelling.
    While I'm usually a purist about adaptations, I don't really extend that to comics, because, in the course of trying to keep them going on a regular basis over decades, they're constantly getting re-imagined, anyway. And honestly, I think the MCU often makes better decisions than the comic-verse has.

    I have been waiting for this show since 2014, when I first read the comic. I’m not bothered at all by the change in powers because that’s not what drew me to her. Her optimism and positivity and kindness and genuine nature are what drew me to her.
    Iman Vellani basically *is* Kamala Khan. She auditioned for the role because she is a huge marvel fan. It was absolutely perfect casting, and she is incredibly good at bringing the character to life.
    Back in 2014, she also taught me just how important representation is. I’m white, my background is Irish and Protestant. Seeing the reactions of people like yourself to her taught me how incredibly important it is. And it is truly a wonderful experience watching your reaction and how much you connect with it. There’s honestly a bunch of things I had to google to know what they meant, and it’s fantastic.
    Since she was first introduced Kamala Khan has been my favourite marvel character, and honestly I believe she’s the best character they have. It’s wonderful.

    (P.S. : seeing this effort in this show however makes me think that moon knight should have tampered more with Marc's religion. I mean we see in the flasback that's he's jewish but i would have loved to see it more incorporated bc this show is the proof that representation doesn't mean that religion should be a central theme of the story, like daredevil. don't get me wrong i loved seeing how matt murdock struggles with his faith, i'm just saying, showing religion doesn't have to be about doubting your faith or anything)

      Re:power change:
      Her powers in the comics were actually meant to look goofy. Her powers gave a clever way to look at her internalized racism and inferiority complex.
      Remember how she turned into Carol upon first getting her powers? She did it by accident at first and then intentionally a few more times, before having a conversation with herself regarding that she, a brown girl, is absolutely able to be a hero. That she didn’t need Eurocentric features to be viewed as such.
      She also felt self conscious about her powers looking silly in comparison to other heroes with aesthetically pleasing powers like the ones she idolizes; and comes to realize that it’s not powers that make the hero, but the actions she takes with said abilities that define the hero.
      Does that make sense?

    I go back to the 70s reading Marvel, and she's now my favorite superhero too; she's a dreamers superhero. Even without relating directly to the social and cultural aspects, I'm just an old white guy from the midwest. But she's TERRIFIC! I want to be the grumpy bookstore owner that has a shop down the block from her and supports her unconditionally saying "your parents mean well". She has that youthful exuberance mixed with the sense of a dreamer that I can relate too. I think it's awesome she's Muslim but you're totally right, her appeal isn't dependent on it. You can't help just rooting for this kid. Love it!!!

It's not about 'being Muslim'... it's about a hero who is Muslim.... The show doesn't force-feed the viewer an agenda of *anything*. You just get to view Kamala's world and learn about a slice of the world you don't normally get to see. I love this series, and this girl is so *natural* that it doesn't even feel like she's acting. I'm happy that you got a hero you can relate to, that the rest of us can enjoy as well.

    It makes me happy you, as a Muslim, enjoyed this show. My religion (Mormon) doesn't really get accurately portrayed in tv/movies either, though it's certainly nothing compared to the slanted portrayal of Muslims over the past few decades. I don't really need characters of religion portrayed in tv/movies, but if they're going to, it would be cool if it was something I actually related to instead of something I just had to roll my eyes at. But with there being over a billion Muslims...it's definitely an underrepresented group among protagonists in mainstream media.

    I agree about the representation. I am Mexican-American, and with the news about Namor getting an Aztec-Mayan design or background to him, I am saying "Finally!". Mexicans are mixed Native people and Spanish, but our Native Indian roots go back to the Aztecs. And while I love all my Latino brothers and sisters, I do get annoyed when we are all lumped into the same "category". Because our backgrounds, culture, foods we eat, and even the dialects we speak are all different. So it's nice to see something specifically for my ancestoral culture.

    Oh my stars and garters - I love, love, love this character. She has a very Mulan feel to her, a little hapless, very determined and gains strength from the power of her ancestors.
    As an Arab woman (non-Muslim) I totally related to the notion of coming from a culture that is fairly conservative, living in the 'West' and wanting to dovetail both cultures into your identity. The every day things like having to help people pronounce your name correctly, or just being that little bit more modest with clothing really hit home and as much I love the notions of hospitality, modesty and the respect of one's elders/ancestors/history, I also love the creative freedoms I have here. Imagine growing up knowing that there were only 3 'choices' of career - Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer - and don't even think about the creative industries, so my heart is with Kamala because she's a plucky little cosmic fighter and can't wait to see how she progresses!

    Representation totally matters!! And not just for those represented. I'm a white non-muslim, but seeing your joy over being represented makes me so happy. More importantly, we can only know what we're told about cultures different from our own. For many of us who can't travel to other countries, that means relying on Hollywood. By having realistic representation we can learn the truth about those different groups and not be caught up in a false impression, which usually causes fear and hate. If that makes any sense LOL.
    My point is, I'm glad Hollywood is begining to wake up and do the right thing by every culture. :) Looking forward to the rest of this series.

They're strict because they have a teenage daughter they want to protect from the world. And even more importantly, they try to understand her and meet her half way. They made her a mini hulk costume. At that age, my parents threw out all of my black, horror, and music themed T-shirts. Literally nothing but a closet of blank white shirts

    Kamala was still looking happy when she heard her father will take them to the con and stay with them. I think it's the Hulk suit that crossed a line for her. Her purpose to go is to wear the Captain Marvel costume, and compete in the cosplay contest. If it only required her dad being there, it looked like she would take it without any hesitation. I know she mentions him being there as one of the humiliating things, but that's just the effect of her getting mad.

    I agree with you completely. Hollywood has represented Muslim people in the world in a negative light. Yes there is a small percentage who act violently for a cause they deem righteous. There is a whole community that people are unaware of mostly if families just trying to prosper or survive day to day life.
    prosper.
    Of course, for me my entree into this character is her love of superhero’s much like I geek out at heroics in other Marvel or Science Fiction or Fantasy or Speculative Fiction. Then there are the common points that match the actor Iman who plays Kamala. She is just so excited and enthusiastic about the MCU and being M⚡️ Marvel.

    "Of course she's gonna pack you food! That's Muslim culture!" Oh my goodness, I used to be next door neighbors to a Muslim family, and instead of us being the ones to bring them a "welcome to the neighborhood" gift, the wife somehow found out I was chronically ill and had disabilities and SHE brought me the most delicious cookies ever! So I definitely have a food story regarding that 🥰 Not saying that I didn't wanna get something for them, too, just that they got to me first. Lol. I'm really sad they had to move away because the husband got a job somewhere else, but we're still good friends! Even though I'm Christian and they're Muslim, we have a very mutual respect for how seriously we take our individual religious lives

    Just as I decided that I need to cut down on all the reaction videos (why am I spending so much time watching other people's reactions to stuff I've already seen?) I see that I must add yours. 😊 I felt that I needed the perspective of someone who a) belong to the culture being described, and b) is able to clearly describe their reactions and opinions as part of the video. I'm totally not Muslim. I'm a white, atheist, Norwegian male three times as old as Kamala, but I enjoyed the comics, I enjoyed the show, and I enjoy watching your reaction. 😊

    Major change in the MCU is her powers are magical, in the 616 she got them from the Terrigen Mist, a gas that turns people into Inhumans, sort of like mutants. Nobody watched The Inhumans and making Kamala one of them might have hurt the character and show.

    There was another Muslim hero called The Arabian Knight, wasn't a big hit in the 80s, they just tossed him out there with no real storylines, didn't make him part of a team or put any effort into a backstory, he just appeared in a few panels of groups of heroes from time to time, had a couple lines in an issue of The Thing once.

    I read the first 7 issues of the comic after watching the show (because I liked the debut episode so much). So, I obviously have a bias being introduced to the character first in the show (I mean, I'd see a few little references before, but nothing substantial). I think they do a good job of maintaining her vibe/attitude from the comics. And if we're going to point out how many times the MCU changes somebody's power set/origin from the comics, we're going to have to keep a long list. ;-)
    ****spoiler alert from the comics****
    I'm just bummed that we're unlikely to see Lockjaw, because I have always loved him. :-(

  • @fad23

    As a fan of the comics, I am pretty happy with the change in the powerset and origin. For me, they have been able to capture the awkward teenage elements of her whole deal and the origin leads to better storytelling within the family dynamic.

    Her Grandmother was the previous superhero of her generation I believe and that is a family power heiroom that is of their family, but for some reason maybe the Mom rejected it when her mother probably asked her to take over. There is something there, I hope we see that dynamic and see the grandmother in this show make an appearance. Clearly Kamala Khan's mom knew about that bracelet.

    Possibly the strongest first episode from a Marvel Disney+ show so far. Which is saying a lot. And I don't understand the old reasoning that shows like this wouldn't succeed because I'm a white male and I wouldn't be able to relate so I won't find this story interesting. It's not like that at all. Diverse stories only add to the depth of tv/movies (and art in general). As long as the story itself is interesting and/or told in an interesting way, I'm in. It's time to get everybody representation. Let's go. And the anti-woke crowd is really making themselves look foolish attacking this show because it's really good. I get that sometimes diversity can be pandering or done to make a company look better but this is not one of those times.

    I personally applaud Marvel for exploring so many different cultures in the past few years.
    The toxic diapper pissers will continue to bitch and whine every time a "non-normal" character is given any kind of spotlight, meanwhile rational people can really appreciate the different cultures being given some attention for once and not in a negative way.

    @robertmolton6761 2 роки тому

    It makes me so happy to see you enjoying a show that you can relate so much and that represents Muslims (in a positive light). Personally I'm an agnostic, which for me means I have respect for all religions and beliefs and I feel it's well represented imo. Now as far as the show goes. Kamala is adorable, but she needs to give her dad a chance (that was a little mean on her part with how she said it).💔 I would love to see her cosplay with him, that would warm my heart.😄❤‍🔥I would have to say it's okay so far, but honestly I have to see a little more of her character and start to see where they go with the story before I can really get a feel for the series. I haven't read the comics so I have no clue what's going to happen, but that's probably a good thing considering the controversy about them changing her power significantly. Let's face it though that stretchy/growing power has never quite looked right in live action. Mr. Fantastic's powers always looked weird to me. I believe they made the right call.

    As a pasty white guy, I'm fine with the billion shows that already represent me and my experiences.
    Let's have other stuff!
    If nothing else, shows about OTHER lives and experiences are different, and exciting, and also educational; I've learned a LOT just from watching this show.
    Also, people who think you can't be creative and write good stories while also serving other goals don't understand creativity. That's not how it works. They also don't understand that 'art has been political' for literally thousands of years.
