episode 5

Spoiler:

another fabulous episode, with a nice history lesson to begin with as well, about the events leading up to the great partition

and we found out how Aisha died, she gave Kamala a picture of her and Hasan for her to give to Sana (Kamala's Nani) in the present day, she got Sana reunited with Hasan with help of her powers, Hasan seeing those powers as well, understanding Aisha was right about the bracelet

back in present day, Najma sacrifices herself to close the portal and gives her powers to her son Kamran whom went to hide at Bruno's place but damage control found him and that ended in a cliffhanger for next weeks miniseries finale

oh and Muneeba and Sana found out Kamala is ''light girl'' and Kareem gave Kamala his red dagger scarf

great series, very good filming work, proper acting work, love the music usage as well

amazing how you can put so much content into just 40 minutes

very educational this series has been for me as well


i really didn't know much about the Partition, and also this makes me kinda look differently towards british people in general, back in those times of 40-45


what a chaotic madness that was for people to rush to get on the trains, flee or otherwise get murdered and your homes set on fire


made me want to google it, here a wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India

A study of the total population inflows and outflows in the districts of Punjab, using the data provided by the 1931 and 1951 Census has led to an estimate of 1.3 million missing Muslims who left western India but did not reach Pakistan.[102] The corresponding number of missing Hindus/Sikhs along the western border is estimated to be approximately 0.8 million.[146] This puts the total of missing people, due to partition-related migration along the Punjab border, to around 2.2 million.[146] Another study of the demographic consequences of partition in the Punjab region using the 1931, 1941 and 1951 censuses concluded that between 2.3 and 3.2 million people went missing in the Punjab.

that's so awful, so many people were reported missing

violence against women

Both sides promised each other that they would try to restore women abducted and raped during the riots. The Indian government claimed that 33,000 Hindu and Sikh women were abducted, and the Pakistani government claimed that 50,000 Muslim women were abducted during riots. By 1949, there were legal claims that 12,000 women had been recovered in India and 6,000 in Pakistan.[148] By 1954, there were 20,728 Muslim women recovered from India, and 9,032 Hindu and Sikh women recovered from Pakistan.[149] Most of the Hindu and Sikh women refused to go back to India, fearing that their families would never accept them, a fear mirrored by Muslim women.

finished it last night

Spoiler:

looking forward to next year for the film The Marvels, with that ending bit

was a good last episode, the plan against Damage Control by Kamala, Bruno, Nakia, Zoe, Kamran gave me ''home alone'' vibes with the boobytraps


also Iman makes a strong acting debut here, for me up there with Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop

yes easily recommend it to many people, very good fun (much content in so little time, is amazing)

reportedly renewed for a season 2

Just a few months after its acclaimed debut, Ms. Marvel season 2 has reportedly been confirmed by Disney+. The recent Marvel Cinematic Universe series marked the franchise debut of Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, the superhero-obsessed Pakistani-American teenager who gains her own superhuman abilities thanks to an ancient bangle with ties to her family's past. Ms. Marvel followed Kamala as she worked to get a handle on her newfound cosmic powers to become a hero for Jersey City, while also contending with the Department of Damage Control and the Clandestines.

Despite being hit with review bombing early in its run, Ms. Marvel scored largely favorable reviews from critics for its lighter tone, kinetic style, cultural authenticity and the performances from its cast, namely Vellani in the titular role. The Disney+ series is only the start for the character, as Vellani is confirmed to be returning for The Marvels alongside Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris, with the Ms. Marvel season 1 finale offering a tease of how it will tie in as Larson and Vellani's characters mysteriously switched places. With some wondering what the future may hold for the character after the film, Ms. Marvel fans may be getting exciting news.

A new report from Hollywood scooper Daniel Richtman (via CBR) states that Ms. Marvel season 2 has been confirmed by Disney+. The reported renewal comes both a few months after the MCU show premiered on the streaming platform, as well as a week after the first footage for The Marvels, in which Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel is returning, was shown as the D23 Expo. Screen Rant reached out to Disney for comment, who neither confirmed nor denied Ms. Marvel's reported season 2 renewal.

It should be noted that without Disney or Marvel's official confirmation on the subject, the Ms. Marvel season 2 report could ultimately be debunked by the studio. Head writer Sana Amanat previously indicated that the MCU show was written as a "limited series" for the character to "go off and do other things," seemingly casting doubt on the show coming back for another chapter. Additionally, cinematographer Jules O'Loughlin has stated neither he nor director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy have heard of plans for a Ms. Marvel season 2, though noted Marvel Studios is often in flux on future plans and laying the groundwork for what comes next for their actors and crew.

For those who fell in love with season 1 of the series, the reported Ms. Marvel season 2 renewal should come as exciting news. Vellani herself received consistent praise for her uncanny adaptation of Kamala for the screen, and with the young actor just as eager about her MCU future, hoping for everything from a Wolverine crossover to a Spider-Man style character arc, one can hope she gets the opportunity to further explore her evolution with a season 2. In the meantime, audiences can revisit Ms. Marvel season 1 streaming on Disney+ and look forward to Kamala's next adventure with The Marvels hitting theaters on July 28, 2023.

but first the film The Marvels that is then
