Ms. Marvel: 5 crucial moments from episode 5
By Mark Lynch
2. Muneeba finds out about Ms. Marvel
It was only a matter of time before Kamala’s mother, Muneeba, found out about Kamala’s abilities. Instead of lashing out, though, Muneeba was understanding. She realized why Kamala was acting strange. In some ways, she felt bad that Kamala didn’t come to her. In the end, this reveal will strengthen their relationship.
After Kamala, Sana, and Muneeba got back home, Sana shared stories about her daughter – confirming that Kamala is rebellious just like her mother. It made Kamala happy knowing that her mother is as adventurous as her. Now, one question has to be answered: Will Muneeba tell the rest of her family about Kamala’s abilities?
1. Ms. Marvel’s lightning bolt
While Kamala was saying her goodbyes to Red Dagger, Muneeba picked up Kamala’s jewelry. She holds it up to the screen and it looks like a bolt of lightning. This is where the audience sees that the broken jewelry is now shaped like Ms. Marvel’s symbol.
In Marvel Comics, the lightning bolt on Ms. Marvel’s costume was originally based off of an old Carol Danvers costume when she was Ms. Marvel . In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Carol Danvers never wore that costume or used that symbol. Thus, making her symbol something that’s original to Kamala in the MCU was a nice touch by the creative team.
