Ms Marvel (spoilers)

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.

Though if you knew that it would make you (generically) safe, what matter a few Macaques?

Also, Clan Destine is a really deep cut. Even if they don't seem to have much in common with the ones from the comics, other than the link to djinn.

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

For being the wrong religion. The partition of the British colony into India and Pakistan was along non-Muslim/Muslim lines. Between 10 and 20 million people were displaced.

Yeah them attacking Kamala with deadly force did seem a bit excessive

Given the power Kamala has, they may not have many other options.

I can’t recall Kamala saying no and the only advice she has that it might be dangerous was from her 17 yr old schoolmate Bruno

So, from what I have read, this may actually be in line with traditional mythological depiction of jinn. They can have prodigious tempers, and may not take well to being balked.

Yep, or we can look at several times in history when Protestants and Catholics came to blows.

I don't know why we would, given that we are talking about a very well-documented event from real-world history. Heck, it is in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on the Partition of India.

I got that as well, that they couldn't use the light (Nor?) ...

In English it is variously spelled "noor", "nur", "nor", or "nour". My understanding is that for most Americans, "noor" probably gets you closest to the typical pronunciation. YMMV.

I thought Najma was talking about being exiled from whatever other dimension she and her fellow djinn originally came from. The flashback we saw at the start of episode 3 indicated it took place in 1942, so I don't think the Partition has anything to do with the Clandestines' exile. It is relevant to Aisha's disappearance, though.

Amir and Tyesha’s wedding approached Sense8 levels of pure joy at being human & alive. Bonus points for not scoring the scene to Four Non Blondes!

(full disclosure: I like that Four Non Blondes song)

I got that as well, that they couldn't use the light (Nor?) here as well as someone born on this plane.

They said the bangle unlocked her innate Noor. Which Kamala didn't pick up on at the time, but I suspect will lead to a "your powers were in you all along" scene at some point.

Quite possibly, giving Kamala access to her powers was simply a side effect of the bangle and we haven't even seen its true function yet.
