June 15, 2022- This second episode was also fantastic!! The visuals of the text messages and animated feelings that Kamala was having through the episode were great!

Of course, being only 6 episodes, the plot has to move quickly, so characters are coming in earlier than really makes sense to do, but I assume Marvel wasn’t sure about how this would be received, so like all the other Disney+ series, this is a single season limited series (so far). If they’d had let’s say 3 seasons, I’d have introduced Kamran in season 2 and Red Dagger (who we’re getting later this season) in season 3. But eh, we’re getting what we’re getting in the time we have.

The training montage was great because by the end of it, she was better but she’s not mastered things. She’s coming off of this high of a little bit of super heroing and is certainly overconfident. But hey, she’s 16. This episode is of course all focusing on meeting Kamran, the new senior at school. Those who know the comics will know what this probably means, but for now, it’s just competition for Bruno. All Kamala’s interactions with Kamran are all what you’d expect from having an instant crush on someone. All their scenes together are well done and the chemistry works. Also, love that Eternals reference ^__^

The side plot of Eid and the vote with Nakia gaining confidence were also very important moments both for Pakistani culture being portrayed on screen, and also showing the strength of friendship, love and support between Kamala and Nakia.

The mystery of the bangle still is, well mysterious, but we got a few more breadcrumbs to follow. This aspect of the character is also unknown for fans of the comics because this is purely MCU created. So, I am intrigued to see how they craft this origin.

Kamala has her second public hero moment in this episode and it’s a challenge for her. We’ll see if that leads to anything more I suppose.

But the ending kept rolling with surprises. The face, the attack, the save. So many questions!

I’m continuing to love this series as I’m sure I will say after every episode. Till next week!
