THE FANDOM ZONE 244: "Generation Why" Is Up!

 
"Dressing up like Captain Marvel is weird."
"No, it's not."
"It's childish. And I know that, okay? And let's be honest, it's not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world."
"Sure they do. You're Kamala Khan. You want to save the world? Then you're going to save the world...with the right equipment, of course."
-- Kamala Khan and Bruno Carrelli, Ms. Marvel: "Generation Why"
