Ms. Marvel 04- Seeing Red

 

In which Kamala travels to Pakistan to talk to her grandmother.  Karachi looks beautiful, but completely alien to me.  Like most episode fours, there is a lot of talking in this one.  We meet yet another secret society, the Red Daggers, trained fighters out to stop the Clandestine djinn.  How is all this unknown to the sorcerers in the MCU?  I know, logic is not to be completely applied to superheroes, but come on.  Kamala finally wears the mask Bruno made for her, which looks great.  She doesn't use her powers until the last 15 minutes which of course entails a car chase.  At least it is in a different country and city.  It finally ends with Kamala getting thrown back in time (damn time travel) to 1947, when the Partition of India happened.  I wonder if the Time Variance Authority is aware of this happening as well?

I like this show, but it is hard to identify with these young characters.  I like learning stuff, and don't mind things being as they are but this is a lot of stuff that is just there.  It is good to see Kamala learning to use her powers, but she really needs a mentor.  Hmm, I understand there is a Marvels movie coming out later.
