Ms Marvel (spoilers)

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

Maybe. Obi-Wan's movie probably turned out better as a TV series but I'm not sure Boba Fett's did.

Finally got around to watching it, the origin story is complete. I fully expect a repeat of when Ant-man met Cap when Kamala meets Carol in person.

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).

<shrug> The moment worked as an emotional beat, I don’t really understand the need to waste screen time explaining the logistical issues.

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".

That's the case since the civil war. The sokovia accords are still a thing.

Honest question, are they? I haven't heard anything since the Snap that confirmed or denied anything about the Sokovia accords.

Yup. Even though I'll argue to this day that Ross had, effectively, one legitimate case of the three he presented; while I argue that Banner and Stark only had a limited fault for Ultron, they didn't have none. But when the heroes get blamed for the Chitari and Hydra, I just roll my eyes.

I think, after having Mom learn about Kamala's powers and activities with Grandma present, and seeing Mom be pretty happy and relaxed when Kamala reveals herself to the rest of the family, also having to have a separate scene of Kamala giving the detailed history that we all just watched to justify a costume change would have been silly.

So, the Sokovia Accords are apparently still in force in WandaVision - Agent Woo notes upon seeing (faked) video of Wanda stealing the Vision's corpse that the act is, "in direct violation of Section 36B of the Sokovia Accords.”

Yeah, I don't think you have to make anything up to justify it. You just have to pay attention to the things that they've already told you, and not assume that just because it wasn't on-screen means that it didn't happen.

They didn't have to show us Mom telling her father about it - they showed us the result. They shouldn't have to show Kamala telling Mom more details about her adventure - they showed us that she did.

My big disappointment when it comes to Damage Control was that they turned them into just-another-watered-down SHIELD/SWORD/FBI/etc. In the comics, they are a construction company that's played for comedy that has to go in and repair things just the way it used to be after a superhero battle.

"Oh yeah, the Statue of Liberty turned into a giant robot and attacked New York, but now we gotta gather the pieces after Thor blew her up, and rebuild her to the tourist trap that she's always been!"

They just made them really boring by comparison. Also, they DID the damage, they didn't fix it!

... A minor complaint, though. In the grand scheme of things, Ms Marvel was great.
