Ms Marvel (spoilers)

[Thomas Shey]

Well, Deever's apparent fanaticism has no grounding even if you consider it an extension of DC's general policy. That's often a problem with antagonists who only exist to be antagonists.

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.

Considering there's a gap between episode 5 and episode 6 (enough to fly from Karachi to Jersey City), Kamala probably told her mother about it.

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

When it first started going down, I thought her boss might be calling her off knowing that she’d ignore him so he could tell his superiors that she’d disobeyed a direct order - you know, pluasible deniability.

She lost her job because she failed but I wonder if that still would have been the case had she been successful.

Like I posted up-thread: "Success requires no apologies. Failure permits no alibis."

And this all comes back to my problem, we have to make up reasons for stuff we don't see on screen to justify not turning the costume into the Solo: A Star Wars Tale of the MCU. (don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the show but this part was silly).

Meh, Its a trope found in these kinds of stories. I’m happy to shrug off silly things as being fun storytelling conventions that feed in to the mythic narrative of Superhero tales.

Didn't bother me at all. (But then I'm probably one of the few people who actually like Solo.)

You are less alone than you think.

I thought it was okay, but would have been better as a TV series.
