Ms Marvel (spoilers)

[Hex08]

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

We also have no reason to think Carol was stuck in the Negative Zone. While they obviously switched places I doubt either is in the Negative Zone.

Its probably something that won't, and isn't supposed to, make sense until "The Marvels" premiers.

That's because your looking at the costume backwards. You already know what the costume is, so seeing the pieces of it feels contrived. Well...because it is....when you know the ending, the present always seems a bit contrived.

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.

Something similar was done in Captain America: TFA. He is wearing his stage outfit, then he puts on combat gear over it, then the two get blended into the final outfit.

I will say can we stop with these weirdly obsessed government agent types? I mean the lead govt lady had to know that the second she disobeyed those direct orders and attacked kids in a public place that her career was done. Why would she risk it....does she have some intense hatred of sups because of some tragedy in her backstory....

Deever is clearly the only one who can see these "enhanced individuals" for the menaces that they are, and if her superiors at the Department of Damage Control are asleep at the wheel she might have to go into the private sector and find someone who is more Wideawake.

My issue there is, its not a scenario where Deever is the only one at the department who thinks their dangerous, at no point is her boss going "oh yeah we are done here, no more hunting". He's just "ok lets not do this at public school where it will create a media relations nightmare."

If it was a scenario where her boss was packing it in, than the push could make more sense, as this is her "last chance" to get them. But it wasn't, they pull back, regroup....get them at a less public place. Operations change all the time due to real world circumstances, Deever as a veteran officer would be extremely used to that.

back when Mutants & Masterminds first came out I played a character based on Blue Marvel. hadnt thought of him for years but your WideAwake reference brought him back.

It would be awesome to see him in The Marvels too…

Its clear that there's a post-Snap view in the MCU among parts of officialdom that enhanced individuals are an intrinsic hazard unless "managed". I'm guessing this version of Damage Control is an offshoot of the part of SWORD that seemed to have that attitude. But they're obviously getting support to some extent from on-high (and I'm not at all surprised they would). In this case the only reason the leadership was being a little cautious was because a juvenile was involved; I wonder if the repulsor guns would have been used it it was an adult they were chasing.

Alternate possibility: Deever doesn’t care about her career because she is a skrull.

The problem with Agent Deever is she had all of the depth of a dried-up puddle. We went from the interesting Djinn to her rather quickly and her actions were easily predictable.

ALTERNATE- alternate possibility: Deever cares very much about her job, is a 'climber', and thought it was an opportunity to replace her boss.
