Ms Marvel (spoilers)

Because the trip to Pakistan was important in the comic book, plus that is where Red Dagger (comic book person)/the Red Daggers organization (MCU version) are based. Moving all that to the US would have invalidated a lot.

The 6 episode structure of Marvel TV+ is really starting to tell, Ms Kamala could have benefitted from having just one more episode to bring them back from Karachi to Jersey City and make the existence of the Noor dimension(?) meaningful, but thats the rules being imposed on the writers, so things get dropped for the sake of expedience

I wish these shows were all 8–10 episodes long. They all feel like they could do with just a little more time to really flesh things out.

The Negative Zone, probably.

I don’t know what that is. I figured that she and Carol swapped places, so wouldn’t Kamala be on another planet or something?

In the Captain Marvel comics that Carol's identity as the original Ms. Marvel spun out of, Rick Jones would switch places with Captain Mar-Vell by clasping his Nega-Bands together, summoning him from the Negative Zone (another dimension) where he was stuck for reasons.

Kind of my point, the Red Daggers really added nothing to the show other than giving Kamala someone to run around Pakistan with. What's important to the comic doesn't necessarily translate well to TV, especially if not well done.

Not having read the comics, that doesn’t mean much to me. I’ll take your word for it, though. Thanks.

But if instead you look at it from Kamala and her mother's perspective, each element of the costume has meaning, meaning that developed from Kamala's journey as a hero. Her costume is a symbol to others, but the pieces of it are symbols to Kamala. That's pretty solid to me.

I have no problem that her mother created the costume but looking at it from her mother's perspective doesn't work. When was she aware that the red scarf came from the Red Daggers? Most of it, even if I grant you things like the broken necklace, come across to me as very contrived.

Don't let it trouble you, we're talking stuff from around 50 years ago at this point.

My girls and I all thought it was perfect that her mum gave her the outfit and her dad gave her the name.

And Bruno gave her the mask.

if they hadnt made a big issue of closing the portal last week I might have accepted Kamala being transported to the Noor dimension, but having it be the Negative Zone would really make a mockery of the whole closing the portal conceit from last week
