The one thing that I as a Pakistani hate about Ms Marvel

The main thing i hate about the Ms marvel show so far is the commentary on the partition and the blatant erasure/sugarcoating of the events. Pakistan and India weren’t separated because Brits created “chaos” between us. It was because we wanted a separate homeland where our Muslim identity was protected, where our rights were ensured and where we didn’t have to worry about being persecuted.

These are the privileges that we Pakistanis have and Indian Muslims of today, DO NOT HAVE. My own grandmother was part of the migration and although she was only 2 at the time, my great grandmother witnessed the horrors firsthand and 100% knew she made the right choice to migrate.

Also no, I’m not saying Pakistan is some perfect fantasy land. I know it has its problems but it is a much safer place for Muslims than India today. Just imagine if India was more powerful. Muslims would be treated like second class citizens in the entirety of the subcontinent.

Aside from the tone deaf coverage of the partition the rest of the show is very good so far. I just wish they didnt try to sugarcoat the actual suffering of the Muslims.

So I just finished Jessica Jones

I'm a little bit upset that Trish is going to the raft, granted she did some bad things, but what bothers me is that we didn't get a continuation of this. Also, wtf is up with Hogarth, she was all over the place this season. Complete villain turn and all. submitted by /u/pkjoan [link] [comments]

Bitter thoughts after Loki ending

Alright so I just finished Loki and I just…ugh idk. Yall im so sad I get that he gets his throne and he helps everyone. But I just wanted him to have friends and be happy. I know it’s unrealistic but I just wanted him to have friends and be happy. I think it sucks that he wont get that maybe that’s just me because sometimes I feel like Loki in the aspect of being looked down on. I just wanted him to be there with his friends what do you guys think? submitted by /u/Candid_Wafer1587 [link] [comments]

The first 2 avengers movies feel pretty different compared to a lot of the mcu

I was rewatching avengers 2012 and realized how different it feels to the rest of the mcu. It feels more comic booky and a little campy somehow? That's kind of what I really like about it though and really just find it interesting. Avengers age of ultron also has this more comic booky vibe to it. Any thoughts on this? Still some of the best and most iconic though. submitted by /u/TheIMaster64 [link] [comments]
