I’m not the typical young looking female with blonde hair and outstanding body I’m Kamala Khan originally from Pakistan growing up in Jersey City. I always wanted to fit in with the in crowded, needed people to see me as myself. I always felt like the geek in the group. I didn’t like my hair it’s to dark my body is flat looking like a string beam. Why do I have to continue my religious valves in this new country? “Why can I have the glorious blond hair and fabulous body as Captain Marvel. “Why can I be less complicated?, Why can I go out like the other kids my age. Why, Why ?. This was Kamala Khan a young woman who felt the need to always wanted to become someone besides herself. She always dream of being Captain Marvel because of her beauty and power. Even as she was reboot int the person she became she still was confuse to how her power was to make her the ideal person. When learning her new power it made her realize the difficulty one faces trying to lose their true identity. After becoming aware of how her power can make her strong kamala had no reason to feel small or inferior of anyone.
The scene I choose in the Ms. Marvel is Kamala standing tall with her fists swollen with power. I choose this scene because here is where Kamala took notice of who she believes to be. Her inner quote “Who Am I?”, as she develops confidence within herself at that moment not feeling small when she came around earthly people (Zoe) who make her feel inferior when she is near her but, letting those in her present see her as Ms. Marvel and not Captain Marvel. Kamala is taking the stand to put her power towards building her self-esteem as well as reassuring her true identity. As Kamala getting to knowing herself it became a confusing roller coaster ride, one that she had to take in order to bring out the best in her. It was a difficult transition because she was transforming into someone else (Captain Marvel the blonde) and fighting within herself which made her power weak until she learns to connected her powers to believe into herself.
We all had some Kamala in us. Growing up as children we face many challenges trying to fit in. We all at one point disobey our parents when we were told to come straight home from school we might detour and hang out with peers before heading straight home. Understanding Kamala parents who have their expectation and values for their daughter. Parents who come from a different country hoping and wishing for their children to have a better life than the one they have naturally will want the best for their kids. You will find that a daughter and father relationship will be quite different than a mother and daughter. Kamala mother was very hurt and shame the way that her daughter behaved. Female are supposed be ladies of elegant not shaming the family whereas the father was angry but more understandable. He took time to explain to is daughter why she was special explaining her name, what it meant, and why it was special. Everyone goes fades shame, and disappointed but with love and understanding from those around us will bring peace happiness and joy.
