A recent hobby
Started shooting all sorts of things for fun lately. The camera is an α7 IV — shoot in RAW, edit in Lightroom, that kind of thing.
This time it was Hakone.
Episode 2, “Crushed”
The power has mass
Looks like the aura she makes with that power has weight to it…!
The training scene here was very My Hero Academia and it got me fired up!
Is the power coming from Kamala herself?
According to Bruno Carrelli, Kamala’s best friend, the power seems to be coming out of Kamala herself and not out of the bracelet.
Kamala’s great-grandmother is probably an alien, by the look of it.
A modern look at Islam
The scenes in the mosque were excellent in terms of cultural diversity. And the young ones being on TikTok and the like right in the middle of prayers was very modern too lol
Bruno gets into college
He was looking at the California Institute of Technology website back in episode 1, and now he can enrol from next semester — which means he’s skipping ahead…!! Amazing. But Kamala looks to be over on the New York side, so California on the west coast leaves the two of them a very long way apart… MIT would have kept him on the same east coast…
The clash with Damage Control
Damage Control finally show up!!
And they’re using those Stark Industries drones…!! Hmm, thinking about how those were taken from Peter, that sits a bit awkwardly… This show is a sort of Captain Marvel spin-off, so personally, it might be fun if they turned out to be Skrulls.
Aisha…?
Is this woman who keeps turning up Aisha, Kamala’s great-grandmother? If so, how old is she…? lol
Was she persecuted as a witch and the rest of it because she was an alien who could use cosmic power? Want episode 3 now…!!! Is there a matching character in the comics? Dying to know!!
Who Kamran really is
Was completely sure Kamran had to be an enemy, and instead he turns out to be the son of the woman who appears to be Aisha…!! If he really is Aisha’s son, then he and Kamala are blood relatives, so that’s a no-go lol
After finishing episode 2
It moves fast
Sorry… things are hectic right now, so there isn’t much here this time.
It moves fast! The training, the secret in Kamala’s family, the world around her — hugely satisfying.
