My thoughts after reading Ms. Marvel, Issue 4



Bruno, Bruno, Bruno. If Kamala can be herself, why can’t he just tell her how he feels? Come on Bruno! I do have to say I like his pseudo Jordan Catalano hair. I really am glad that Kamala decided to be herself instead of a different version of Ms. Marvel. It was good to see her come to the realization that a hero does not have to look a certain way.
 
Hopefully I am not reading too much into this, but I think that it’s also a symbol for Kamala’s, or anyone’s like in general – you do not have to be what everyone hopes for. Or live up to someone’s expectations. You just have to be yourself. And to do that you have to love yourself as you are. Sometime it is easier said than done. But when you have that type of aha moment, it’s the best feeling in the world.

And just typing that I feel kind of silly wondering if Kamala likes Bruno as well. (What? I believe in first loves. So sue me. And I enjoy when a girl in a story I relate to can be the victor.) I’m just wondering that because she wanted Bruno to continue with the whole “you kick butt at video games and you’re smart and funny.” I won’t get too much into that. Just wondering is all.

I like the costume Kamala ended up with. Burkini, tights, and a fanny pack. Got to have the fanny pack. I like it because it’s Kamala. I also like that it is comfortable and practical. Not all costumes for heroes need to be, well you know. That’s just my opinion. I think that girls can rule in comics no matter what they are wearing. (Yes I am old school COMICS!) However, it is refreshing to see something different in regards to costumes. 

So in conclusion, boys and girls, once you start believing in who you are its way easier not to have to be worried or anxious that you are not living up to someone else’s expectations. I really like Ms. Marvel because it goes beyond the comic to provide an example for girls, no matter what age. It’s a good balance of not taking itself TOO seriously, but having heart. Ms. Marvel you’re my hero. (She said in her Cameron to Ferris voice.)
