Seher and Kori take a look at Kamala's comic origins and then discuss which of the other existing Muslim heroes in Marvel comics might make the next best choice to translate over to the MCU.

Seher and Kori finally had time to sit down and watch Ms. Marvel, and they have some thoughts.

As promised, in this episode Seher and Kori tackle immigration narratives from several angles. Dominant culture expectation of utter assimilation, the long term effects coming to roost of imperial colonialism of "Western" powers across the globe, as well as how BIPOC are often ignored in conversations leading to pitting many "minority" groups against each other, instead of coming together to turn off the giant faucet way up top causing all of this to begin with.

Seher and Kori review recent/upcoming media centered on Muslim characters, as well as Kori's newfound obsession with the Turkish historical drama, Muhteşem Yüzyıl (Magnificent Century)!
