Ms Marvel (spoilers)

[Tonguez]

I'd have been suspicious when Najma said they'd been exiled. Like, what were they exiled for?

Yeah but with the whole tie-in to the Partition of India its perhaps not so clear - sometimes those exiled as rebels return as ‘freedom fighters’

If I were to write out of this I'd make Kamala's great-grandmother have also explicitly turned on the rest of the Clan Destine group because the option to return would endanger Earth causing them to turn on Kamala immediately when she questioned the safety of it.

thats a really good theory, I wouldnt be suprised if Aisha disappeared “to protect her family” - who we now know were half-human

Maybe. But my first thought was still what did they do to get themselves exiled to Earth from whatever dimension they came from?

EDIT: I mean, yeah, maybe they were good guys exiled by an oppressive government or something, but it still seemed highly suspicious to me.


Also, who wants to bet that the second bangle will be found and Kamran will use it to awaken his powers?

 

[Thomas Shey]

Now that I've seen this, I think the thought process of the elder djinn was pretty clear; they're super impatient because they're waiting for so long, and they've decided that if Kamala is going to drag her feet, they'll just grab the bangle and find one of them to use it. Its not the smartest process ever, but, well, people aren't always smart especially when they've been waiting for something for a long time.

By the by, can I mention I'm finding myself super-irritated about the fact this is being negative review bombed, and have little reason to believe a lot of it is for the worst reasons?

I'm loving this series so far. Very fun and engaging. I look forward to it every week.

Doesn't look like the review bombing is having much effect on Rotten Tomatoes. Ms Marvel is still running 83% with the audience there.

Yeah compared to 63% for Obi Wan....seems like Ms Marvel is doing fine.

One does wonder if sending powerful beings to an innocent world whose inhabitants are normally much weaker than those beings is indeed a good thing?

Spoiler: Eternals spoiler

Maybe they thought they would all get swallowed up by Tiamut anyway?

Its always possible it was simply a NIMBY thing by whoever banished them. Heck, who knows if they even knew there were humans here?

The exiles may dominate the local world, but if those weaker inhabitants really are so weak, you can be sure the exiles won't be able to use them in any significant way to return to power. It would be like exiling Napoleon to an island populated by nothing but macaques. As superior as Napoleon might be, he's not turning those macaques into a formidable army with which to return to power.

True, but my point was (to extend your analogy) that Napoleon could harm/kill the macaques with impunity, not that he would form an army to return to power.
