The mother knew Zoe. They grew up together, or at least they used to share car rides together. So Kamala’s mom trusted her going to Zoe’s house. She just didn’t bring up it was a party.

Hearing all your perspectives, experiences, and how y'all relate to the show make this my favourite channel for Ms. Marvel reactions

"She's just dense" "No she's a regular kid" "So She's dense" "Yeah...a little bit" 😂

I love the part of a superhero's journey where they have fun with their powers; it usually doesn't last very long.

As an African American, it's great to see brown ppl react to a story that connects to your community & heritage. There's increasingly more media that depicts the black ppl in an authentic way & that's led to important & much needed discussions about the past & present of the African American community. You don't see as much mainstream narratives that focus on brown cultures, so it's exciting to me to see other communities of color relating to characters & subjects in media. It's really exciting & goes to show how important genuine representation is!

I appreciate the post-show conversation and the insight into the partition. I love that this show is creating opportunities for these types of stories from history to be told.

Really nice hearing your stories about the Partition. Its something I have never heard of before and it was really cool to learn

What appreciate is that the complaints regarding the mosque have nothing to do with religion or faith. Rather, it’s the day to day problem of sexism and misogyny. And Nakia’s story isn’t just “I wore it because I wanted to fit in, that’s it.” It’s: “I wore it because I wanted to fit in, and then I realized that I was happy with the way I looked. Now, I wear hijab because I WANT to. No one was forcing me but me(at the start).”

Its impossible to believe this is Iman Vellani's first ever acting job, she has been brilliant so far, she"s so charismatic and calm you'd think she's been acting for decades ...

Thank you so much for adding cultural insights to these Ms. Marvel reactions. I love Ms. Marvel so far and you, The Normies, have made it even better...like when Rana explained the prayer...or listening to you all realate to having your shoes taken...geez, who goes to a mosque to steal??? Shame on them! Or talking about the movies and songs they are referencing. I love it when entertainment opens my eyes to a more diverse world. Been watching The Normies since Agents of Shield...and so loving the extra stuff I'm learning watching you all react to Ms. Marvel. Thanks so much!!!!

This show is 10/10, loving all the brown kid troupes. Plus interesting story

VP Kamala's name comes from Hindi word Kamal (Lotus) and its pronounced "Kaam-la" while Ms Marvel's Kamala comes from Urdu word Kamaal (Perfection) so its pronounced "Kuh-mala" ..its a slight difference because both words come from similar language and speller slightly similar but mean different and thats why the pronunciation of both names is different..also English doesnt have those extra vowels like in Hindi/Urdu that makes the difference between the words stand out ..so english translation is exactly the same even though names are spelled and pronounced differently in Hindi/Urdu

Really awesome of Navi & Suraj to share insights into their family history...I'm from Zambia in Africa and I also have a sort of a partition story post colonialism in my family's history. World's apart and we can still relate on something.

I absolutely love Kamala's mom and think she is adorable. The emotion she can portray is rock solid. I felt so bad for her listening to the story she tries to forget. And her smile when she lets Kamala do something she wants to do. UGH MY HEART. I love Kamala's mom!

Being a Pakistani, something that I’ve really loved is how at the end of each episode so far, Pakistani songs & artists are being featured, like at the end of episode 1 “Rozi” by Eva B was featured who is the first hijabi female rapper of Pakistan & then at the end of episode 2 “Peechay Hutt” by Hasan Raheem, Justin Bibis, and Talal Qureshi was featured which was a part of Coke Studio Season 14 & a huge hit here!

Anyone who watches this reaction, I STRONGLY urge you guys to stay for the discussion after. Really interesting discussion about south asian stuff, religion...etc, a lot of the stuff they touch on in the episode that you may not know about. Having 3 south Asians reacting to this episode, honestly, really cool for them to talk about all this stuff. So if you want a little insight, a really great discussion afterwards. And, not that theyll read this, but THANK YOU Normies for having that discussion

Kamala on the rooftop trying to save the kid Guy: “Yo it’s Night Light. Do a flip!” Guy from Spider-Man: Homecoming: “Yeah!!!!!”

I'm glad they're letting Kamala make mistakes. She seems enamoured with the glamour and glory of being a hero, but isn't taking the risk and responsibility seriously enough. She got caught up showboating for the crowd rather than making sure the boy was on stable ground, and as a result he fell a second time and got hurt (I'd argue Kamala only managed to cushion his fall due to lucky timing. If she was a second late, it could have been much more tragic). She couldn't have known she'd suddenly have a vision, but if she'd gotten him down quicker rather than getting distracted waving and posing, the vision wouldn't have been an issue anyway.

I'm really loving the whole cast in this show so far. I love the dynamic between Kamala, Bruno, and Nakia. And Kamala's family could have easily been played off as just annoying or "obstacles" to her superhero journey, but they're all played so endearingly that I love when they're on screen. I also love that Kamala got a classic superhero moment, complete with the crowd of onlookers, but also that her first official save didn't go as planned. Also that nice touch of her talking to the kid to try to calm him down -- something we don't see enough of in the MCU imo. Superheros taking the time to talk to the people they're trying to save. Iman Vellani is such a delight to watch!

Love that callback to when Black Widow told Clint to let her go 😭

Not sure if someone else commented this, but yea at first I was like what! Her mom let her go to Zoe’s party? But remembered last episode there was a small line where Kamala says Zoe’s mom used to drive them to school so at least Muneeba knew they’re family

Rana has a point. I think that was a subtle reference to Chavez when they asked if she was latina first.

I love hearing more about your cultural experiences in relation to this show. I’m so thankful for this opportunity and representation!

I love hearing your perspectives on how this relates to your own experiences. Keep it up.

The partition and civil war era lasted from about 1930 to 1948 till Pakistan and Bangladesh were partitioned. Its so nice that stories of those old struggles that people of Punjab faced are being discussed and that its finally getting acknowledged that the British government caused a lot of suffering.

"Every brown family has some drama..." That's so true, OMG. 😂 My great great grandmother's sister was called a witch and so she was outcasted from the family/tribe. I don't know her name now, and I've been working up the courage to ask my grandma about her aunt. 😅

As an American pakistani i am emotional watching this episode, I didnt know how much representation I needed Until I watched this show.

I loved these reactions from you. Its so interesting seeing people who know more about these customs and traditions than I do react to seeing them on screen.

The fact that this show got review bombed is an absolute shame

Great reaction. I think the show is set in 2025. Also the actor playing Kamala's friend, Miguel is IRL KZfaq reactor, Matthew Vasquez of Majeliv. And the kid Kamala saved is the shoe bandit. He is wearing the Nakia's shoes when Kamala saves him.

Kamran reveals that that’s her mom, thereby insinuating that Kamran’s family is somehow connected to Aisha, the bangle, and now Kamala. So, according to the comics, Kamran is supposed to be an Inhuman as he was exposed to the Terrigen Mist (a kind of mutagenic substance that activates one’s latent superhuman powers). There’s not much information on Bushra (that’s the name of Kamran’s mother in the comics).

The plot thickens. I am loving the relationships and character interactions in this show (so good), Nakia is so smart an such a cool friend. Also interesting, Bruno's theory that the bracelet unlocks the power in Kamala's genes.

I have been watching Normies reactions for a while now, and it's working out great with this show. Not only the high level of entertainment that I have come to expect, but some insight into the culture that is on display. Thanks to all the gang for providing both. I am glad everyone seems to be enjoying themselves with Ms. Marvel, because that tells me that the window we are being provided in to a group that not all of us are a part of has some degree of accuracy and resonance for those who are.

Another great episode. I love the music in this show. I'm really digging the nods to the John Hughes films, Booksmart, Parker Lewis, Cant' Lose, 10 Things About You, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Away, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the Adrian Alphona, Jaime McKelvie art design from the Ms. Marvel comics, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World in this series. The twisted at the end was great. I also loved the Shazam montage in this episode and the Kingo reference. Ms. Marvel's Black Widow pose was also fantastic.

25:00 The woman in the car with Kamran is Najma, not Kamala's great-grandmother.

The Partition talk was so so so interesting. Loved hearing your stories, keep it up:)

44:15 OK so, you guys pretty much had it right! The word "latinx" is pretty much an "inclusive" way to refer to Latin-Americans but it doesn't have much to do with pronunciation per se, but more like they're changing our language for something they think would describe us better! So just like you guys said: They're pretty much excluding us by trying to include us by changing our language for what they think is correct... Also it's just a very convoluted term! It's way easier to just say Latino (male / neutral) Latina (female) or just Latin-American... Don't say "latine" cause that's also weird haha! I'm Mexican and I hope this helped you guys a little bit! LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!!!! 😍😍🤩🤩

Bro thanks for sharing your stories. The thing I like about this show that it teaches me about the history and cultures of that part of the world I never knew about.

Did y'all notice the drones the DoD was using were recycled Mysterio drones from Far From Home

What if the dishonor was an affair like the aunties said, an affair with Kingo, and her powers are of Eternal origin instead of Inhuman?

I was waiting for you guys’ reaction and refreshing my thing again and again 😭 okay lemme sit back and enjoy it now 😭

All reactors to this show should watched you guys' post discussion. Definitely appreciate you guys sharing your history and family experience with the partition which I'm sure many of us Americans don't know much about. Very educating, thank u Normies

WAIT. I just realized something. Kamran might not have held Kamala's hand to be cute or flirt. He straight up grabbed her where her bangle would be (I checked the exact frame). Except: Kamala put it on her left wrist not right wrist. I think he wanted to make sure she had it and it was her with the powers but missed the 50/50, but that's why he was there with the car in the end : because his mom might have connected with Kamala during her 2 episodes, which happened AFTER the driving lesson chronologically.

"Okay, Zoe's not that bad." That's right. Zoe is Cordelia-light. She's all about herself and not that bright, but she does have some heart. (At Avenger Con, she wasn't all jealous of Kamala's costume and how, she as enthralled by it and told her so, though maybe just nice to get her to appear at her parties. But ultimately, I think she's going to become a Kamala/Ms Marvel ally.

Their reaction is perfect for this show. It's interesting !!

Hope Ms Marvel delves into Partition stories even more. Doctor Who did a whole episode about it.

They are using "Coke studio Pakistan season 14 songs" in the end credits. I am also very happy to see Pakistani TV actresses like Samina Ahmed and Nimra Bucha.

This is a good show but watching it with you guys that are a breaking down the cultural facts makes it even better and educational

I love how you guys love this. You guys are one of the reaction channels where i still stay even after the reaction part. You’re conversations are always so insightful. Thank you for letting us learn more about the partition.

Normally I dislike the Normies interjections during the reaction. But this has been fun. I’ve learnt so much from Rana elaborating. Keep it up, the more the beta.

It's so great and very convenient at the same time that the normies has South Asians because not only does watching this makes it very enjoyable because it targets the demographic that looks like the cast at the same time we are learning something about what really happened in real history. Really appreciated the background storytelling about the partition.

This show is turning out to be really really good

Even though I’m not familiar with many of the cultural references and events in this show, its making me watch videos and learn more about it!

Kamala's mother knows zoe's mother. It was mentioned in the first episode. That's why she doesn't have a problem sending her to zoe's party

G. Willow Wilson (co-creator) said that Kamala Khan and Kamala Harris are spelled the same in English, but come from two different language families and have two different meanings. So both pronunciations for each Khan and Harris are correct.

Really insightful and thoughtful discussion for this episode. Thanks to the team for sharing.

Great reaction. Don't be afraid of the "brown people stuff" talk I really enjoy hearing about all the cultural and religious stuff I would otherwise miss. Having said that the show is great at bringing out the universal aspects as well.

As always GREAT reaction and I really enjoyed everyone’s thoughts. You guys should definitely think about doing a podcast. Much love and respect!

the 'Illumin-aunties' was so relatable haha. We call my Grandmother and her 3 sisters the 4 Horsemen.

Love the reaction. Loved the Discussion even more 🙏🏾 didn't know anything about the Partition. Really made wanna Google it and learn more about it. Again 👏🏾 Marvel's really good at bring people together at this point. Last episode was a therapy session. This one was a great show on the religion, as well as a the talking about The partition. Loved it. Also idk if yall noticed but the drones are actually the ones from Tony Starks Eden, which he gave to Spider-Man but he ended up losing it because of the stuff that happened in Far From Home. Edit: I'm afro-latino. And Latina or Latino is perfect.

Loving the conversations that come along with this show. I've heard that it isn't getting the same level of viewership as the other marvel shows but I bet that it will when The Marvels hits theaters and everyone sees how incredible she is.

love the video! it was great learning more about the partition also! I'd like to add that latino/latina/latine is NOT the same as hispanic, since hispanic means the countries colonized by Spain, and also Spain itself, the colonizer, while latino means everyone in latin america, which excludes Spain aka colonizers, and includes the country I am from, Brazil! We are very much latinos, but We were colonized by Portugal and our language is Portuguese, not Spanish, that being said We are Latinos, but We are not Hispanic. We were colonized like all the other latino countries, while hispanic is a term that includes the colonizer.

Really love that they brought up Partition. Also SRK mention? I gotta go see _Baazigar_ & _DDLJ_ someday. Also Suraj says K3G is the best one... I don't even remember that one, I saw it as a kid

Black families have the same issues with tampons; I wasn’t allowed to have them while in my parents’ house, and the same was true for all of my friends. Ms. Marvel is doing such a beautiful job illustrating life as a teenager (especially teenage girl) living the duality of cultures that many of us experienced. I don’t share Kamala’s specific traditions, but I relate so deeply to soo many themes!

Great discussion ! Thank you for sharing & teaching me something new ❤️

i truly appreciate y’all’s insight on the partition.

3:04 Hey now, Superman and Lois is definitely worth watching

This channel is being the best KZfaq Reaction for this series. It has several points of view, including people who correlate with and understand certain specific cultural aspects.

The second episode was great, I'm loving the John Hughes tone and vibes of it, and a lot more exploration into the everyday lives of the South Asian community! I also love the little musical number with Kamala lip syncing "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes, now my life and social standing is complete. I'm really enjoying your reaction to this series and I can't wait for more of our budding superhero in training Kamala Khan, @TheNormies ! I love your reactions

I'm so happy watching you guys reacting to this show! Lots of love from Brazil!

Very much appreciate you guys sharing your personal family stories. ❤️

Thank again for the reaction and chat after. Very interessting. I am learning a lot😊

Awesome review guys and convo afterwards. I have to admit that I didn’t live the first episode and wasn’t sure if I’d continue watching the series but the second episode drew me in. Really liked it and look forward to the rest of the season. I appreciate the insights from that region of the world as well.

I appreciate you guys for sharing your partition stories. This series introduced to me this topic and it really is infuriating how these colonizers left people for dead. Thanks for the insights!

- That dad has a sweet tooth. He's always eating treats. Speaking of, does anybody know what exactly he is eating? - So Kamala's superhero name is Night Monk-....er, Night Light.

Thanks for all the muslim background Clint, Rana, and Suraj! Being a black man myself, it’s really cool to get some kind of understanding of what’s going on with all of the muslim culture

On the Partition, I just want to commend Doctor Who for the episode on it. I would have not known about it because we didn't handle it in history lessons in school in Finland.

You'll notice in the restaurant scene that Kamran isn't holding Kamala's hand. He's feeling for the bangle.

I love watching this show with you guys. It's like a cultural education. Sounds like Marvel really nailed the little details ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the history lesson I knew absolutely ZERO about until this show and your discussion.

600k subscribers 🤘🏾 I’m learning so much about your personal stories and religion just from this show

I agree. Y’all should have done peacemaker 😂 Y’all better be there for season 2!

I wasn't sure how I felt about the first episode but this second episode was really cool, even though I had no idea what was going on culturally

Literally the perfect channel for reactions to this show!

It was interesting to hear about the Partition and the British, what happened for Pakistan was awful and i do know some Indian people that have awful stories from this time, to what happened to their grandparents and great patents .. Unfortunately British history is drenched in distruction and problems they caused everywhere. I am from Ireland and the British caused a lot of problems for us, my great great grandfather was killed by the British during the Irish civil War for fighting for his people when his son was a child and my father almost died in 1970's as a kid from parliamentary groups bombings in Dublin funded by the British government....This unfortunately happened worldwide, i have British cousins that were not even taught about this history in school...At least we live in a very different World now that we can all look at history, learn from it so it wont happen again..Sorry for the rant, the episode just hit a nerve..

I had low expectations going into ms marvel and it’s just been so great. Loving this show .

Really enjoying this show so far, and this was the one that base on the trailer I was really worried about out of all the Marvel Disney+ shows. It's so unique going on this ride of learning a new culture then mine in such a unique way. Also, thanks for sharing your stories, helps me learn a lot about history, great reaction/discussion everyone 🙂

Loved the discussion!

This is an amazing show. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes

As a 36 year old white guy in the midwest, I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed getting all the insight into your culture and backstories. I have literally never heard anything about The Partition before this episode and right before watching your reaction video I looked it up and my soul was crushed. Such a grotesque cluster-f***, born from British incompetence. Still, was very interesting to hear all the insight you guys gave, and how oblivious I've been to it all before now. I'm a couple episodes behind, but I hope you guys continue to sprinkle more personal anecdotes in during the videos. Very much enjoyed it.

As a brown man who grew up in America his entire life, that bathroom conversation with Nakia hit ridiculously hard. “Being too white-washed for the brown kids, and too brown for the American kids” has been such a perpetual struggle for me as long as I’ve been in school. And the fact that she found confidence in her celebration of both American and Pakistani cultures was too inspiring, even for a dude in his mid-twenties. This show is so goddamn real. ❤️

good character growth for the mom. she didn't allow kamala for avenger-con and she sneaked out. if she forbid kamala again, she realizes she'll just sneak out again.

It's been a while since there has been much discussion of what they can call us, for my part it's fine being called Latino/s Latina/s :D And we are currently using the letter E instead of X in certain words, for example; 'Todos' and 'Todas' (which is the synonym of them/they that you guys use when talking about gender) is now 'Todes' and thus encompasses everyone regardless of gender. Generations from millennials to the present are more willing to adapt these new words and ways to include everyone, but we have the obstacle of the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy) which is a cultural institution dedicated to linguistic regularization among the Spanish-speaking world, and if they say no to a new word, the schools ban them :/ and everything gets tangled up like a snowball.

The personal stories of the partisan here take center stage to the episode and I am here for it. I grew up in Jersey City with my brown brothers and never understood. I am in my way to understanding. Great video guys

TheNormies are the only reason why I got into watching group reactions & discussions because of videos like this.

It’s technically 2025 now in the MCU since endgame. No way home ended in December 2024 and Moonkight + Doctor strange both took place at the beginning of 2025. So this show is right up there with them.

I’m not sure if anyone caught it but the kid who she saved at the end is actually the mosque thief. He’s wearing the Versace sneakers that were stolen earlier in the episode

PAT in the beginning LMAO. Always love seeing Pat, much love!

He was touching the bangle instead of her hand. I think that's what he wanted to check

Mark 0:25. Howdy! 😬 Rana, thank you very much for bringing your very cute doggie to the show! Serendipity since my dog clique is with me! 🐶🐕

29:42 Suraj & Navi share Partition family stories
