(EP1 REVIEW) Marveling over Ms. Marvel

 EPISODE 1 MS MARVEL REVIEW


Was hyped for South East Asian rep in Ms Marvel, and it did not disappoint! I'm Indian, and the family dynamics felt so on point to me, especially kamala's mom. Kamala herself feels like such a relatable character- an excitable fan girl, forced to think about the future and completely avoiding talking about it to fantasize and daydream (some scenes felt like a callout lol) 


I hope the 2nd ep properly tells us about kamala's powers, since these ones are a departure from her comic counter part.





Overall, the look and aesthetic of the episode confirms that this is Marvel's most visually creative show yet, several shots flowed dynamically, and not a single scene looked boring. I can't wait to see more! 


Also, there's just something special about hearing non-english words and songs that you understand lol. 


It's too early to rate the show, but i have high expectations now. 


EDIT AFTER READING IMDB COMMENTS;

Alot of 1 star comments are calling the show "childish".... For being colorful?? For showing a sometimes cringey teenager?? (Newsflash: all teens are a lil cringey. Source: I am a teenager) 

They're calling the show a step down, like, maybe wait for atleast one more episode? Lol. 

Besides that, I'm seeing a lot of gushing from brownies (my sweet, bordering on offensive term for brown people. Source:I am a brown person) about the accurate representation (and I agree) 


Okay okay I'll save the rest of my thoughts for the rest of the series.

In Defence of Media Trials

 So, I was at a debate today, with the topic being "Trial By Media".  Ofc, my partner and I both wanted to speak 'against' , because???? What could you write 'for' the topic???? Apparently, I was going to find out... We decided that a coin toss was fair, and whoever won got 'against'.  I think you can guess who won.... I struggled writing the content, due to there (obviously) being nothing in defense of this issue. So, I had to get creative, read "in between the lines" etc etc. We won third and I'm proud of bringing up points that no one thought of, so I thought I'd share my content, cuz I think it's pretty solid. Tell me what y'all think in the comments ___________________________ Imagine this- 25th May 2020, it's a normal day in America, you go out with a 20 dollar bill to buy something, when suddenly, everything escalates. The cops are called on you, approach your car with guns drawn, 3 of them hold you down as 1 kneels...

The Warm Months at the End of The Year

-
A poem.   Do you know the difference between warmth and heat? Here are the seasons, Delhi an entity unto its own- its summers hot. Chappal melting to the road, flesh more sweat than skin. Hot says the dog panting in the shade. Hot says the rasp of a construction worker. Hot says the girl fanning her face on her room's floor. It's not warm. Not yet. When summers go, then comes the in between. Humidity sticking in your lungs, slap away the mosquitoes, laugh as your friend's hair sticks up, pout when they laugh at yours. The rains are cool, but it's not warm. Not yet. This is warmth- The end of November, the chill sneaking pollution into my lungs. The heat is no more, and now I can appreciate being warm. The thick blankets being removed from the closet, me pressing my cold feet to your calf. Sit by the road in a patch of sunlight, my face a sunflower seeking the light. The heat will return, but for now, Warmth is this- Napping on a grassy hill as the cold sits pleasa...
