THE FANDOM ZONE 249: "No Normal" Is Up!

 
"Look at everything I've done, Kamala. What am I supposed to do now? How can I be normal?"
"There is no normal. There's just us and what we do with what we've been given."
-- Kamran and Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel: "No Normal"

Hello again, everyone! It's time for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, DJ Nik and I are joined by special guest host Rachel Frend to discuss "No Normal", the final episode of the Marvel series Ms. Marvel, featuring Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, Matt Lintz as Bruno Carrelli, Rish Shah as Kamran, and Alysia Reiner as Sadie Deever!

In this episode, DJ Nik, Rachel and I talk about things like Rachel's first appearance on The Fandom Zone, what Rachel thought of the Ms. Marvel series, the ClanDestine being a complete letdown as villains, original editor Sana Amanat revealing that Ms. Marvel was originally planned to be a mutant until she was changed to an Inhuman because of former Marvel Comics owner Ron Perelman shifting the company's focus from the X-Men to Inhumans, wondering if Kamran is being set up as Kamala's arch-enemy down the line, Rachel meeting LARPers outside her library, Deever racial profiling everyone at the mosque, the great scene of Kamala telling her family that she has superpowers, Muneeba doing a complete 180 and giving Kamala her superhero costume, the refreshing change of Kamala having a family that's supportive of her being a superhero, why the series would've benefited from having two more episodes, Tony Stark being overprotective of Peter Parker, Marvel Studios trying to pass off baseballs as softballs, Rachel wondering why Bruno didn't go to the same high school as Peter Parker, wondering if Bruno will end up on the Ironheart TV series, Kamala finally saying her "Embiggen" catchphrase, the Jersey cops siding with Kamala against Deever and Damage Control, Yusuf giving Kamala her superhero name of "Ms. Marvel", the introduction of mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wondering if Marvel Studios is going the '90s animated series route with their depiction of the X-Men, Brie Larson's mid-credits cameo as Captain Marvel to set up The Marvels, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Fandom Zone Fanmail from Holly Mac and Jesse Jackson, Nik and I returning to discuss The Sandman and She-Hulk, and more!
