Ms Marvel (spoilers)

Yeah Kamala not being Inhuman means the whole backstory has changed so we really have nothing but speculation to go on.

Indeed. I am sad that it means no Lockjaw, my favorite Inhuman.

Apparently Vellani requested a Lockjaw cameo, but didnt get it, though maybe season 2. The CGI design is already done if they ever do it

So, that was cool depicting the "wudu" is a tradition that involves washing one's hands, face and feet before prayers. I did not know about that or the fact that there's a Board.

Is he actually her uncle or is that just a term of respect? (Like are Kamala and Nakia cousins or just friends?)

My impression is that "uncle" and "auntie" basically means "older community member of whom you are not a direct descendant". I believe it used to be fairly common in Scandinavia as well, though it has fallen out of favor in recent generations.

Yeah pretty much standard in my culture, even schoolteachers are addressed using the same terms in our native language

Well, the kids of single mothers have a lot of uncles, and maybe some extra aunts too.

Yeah, that's why I asked - I wasn't sure if they were actually related or it was just a term of respect / endearment. Could've gone either way, and I hadn't quite grokked that Nakia and Kamala were just friends and not cousins at that point.

I didn't know that Muslims too have ritual washing but that doesn't surprise me in the least. Judaism also has ritual washing and, given that Judaism and Islam both hold so many of the same commandments and prohibitions, it's quite understandable.

I'd be more surprised if there wasn't a Board. Houses of worship do not just exist in some magical space outside of secular concerns. They have all sorts of budgetary and management concerns that every other business concern has. Having just finished my 6th year on my temple's Board, concerns run the gamut from how to pay the mortgage (yes, there are mortgages on the buildings), costs of security, revenue streams and donation drives, religious school enrollment levels, employment and staffing, and interfaith efforts.

The only unrealistic aspect of that is that there would be an election for it. I spent three hours twice a month in Board meetings going through PowerPoints and spreadsheets, in addition to the retreats and subcommittee meetings about revamping the dues structure. It is boring and tedious.
