Ms Marvel (spoilers)

The other thing that was weird, I honestly felt the main actress was kind of tuned out. It was like half her personality was missing, she was quiet, feeble.... this girl is usually a bouncing ball of energy, and that was missing. hehe maybe she realized the episode wasn't that great either

Agreed, but I think that's on the writers. She's missing for the half the episode so we can do a flashback, finishes her confrontation with the Clandestines, her mother finds out she's "the Light girl", says goodbye to Red Knife, and then has an emotional scene with her mother and grandmother. Very little room for bubbliness in this episode.

I thought Kamala was suitably solemn as she took part in a moment of her family’s tragic history. (I knew she would end up being the one who produced the trail of stars for her grandmother …)

I also suspect Najma wasn’t being genuine in her apparent sacrifice. I suspect she hasn’t merely awoken Kamran’s powers but has somehow sent her spirit or something to inhabit his body.

Also, what are the odds Carol will show up in the final episode (perhaps in a credits scene)?

Also, do we still think Kamala’s bangle and Shang-Chi’s rings are related? Perhaps both are ancient Kree tech?

I figure the bangle isn’t from the Noor dimension. It just has the power to access it / unlock latent Noor abilities. It may even be able to do other things.

Also, I liked how Kamala, her mom, and her grandmother all made up at the end. This show’s portrayal of their relationships has been one of its strengths.

yeah the stars being Kamala was kinda lampshaded early (I even had a thought that oh what if Kamala is Aisha! But then realised thats a bit icky - it would match your idea about Namjas spirit being sent to Kamran though)

I was also kinda hoping that Kamala would give Najma the bangle to try and close the portal; Najma would be transformed into a superpowerful form but then be sucked into the bangle - and then someone would say “Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty bitty living space!”



In the Shang-Chi post credit scene Captain Marvel says “theyre not like any alien tech I’ve seen” so not obvious Kree tech (but not entirely ruled out)

Carol might not recognize ancient Kree tech. But yeah, we’ll have to wait and see.

Given that Wong had to zoom in to show the beacon, I wonder if it’s transmitting into the quantum realm rather than outer space and will have something to do with the next Ant Man film. (Ant Man is also referenced a number of times in Ms Marvel so there could be a connection there as well.)

A brief Google search suggests that "face card" is a way to compliment someone having a beautiful face. It can mean many things like saying someone has a pretty enough face to get what they want, having a beautiful face that makes up for other aspects of their physique (but in a good way I guess?), or like a face card in a card game that suggests they have a winning face. I don't know if it originated on TikTok but it has certainly gained popularity there.

Simping? I think my age may be showing but the closest connection I have to that word is simp, which was short for simpleton when I was a kid. Basically a way of calling someone stupid. I did a Google search and got the definition "when someone obsesses over someone else who does not return their affection" which sounds like an insult or someone being stuck in the friend zone and I don't understand how that applies here.

Yeah as far as I can tell calling someone a Simp is a mild insult. In this Actress’ case fan simping would be fans infatuated with a beautiful star (famous person) to the point that they declare their love for the star.
As far as I can tell it is abused by social media influencers who ask simps to send them gifts (may be urban legend but seems plausible)
