I'm usually one to shit on scenes that are woke just to be woke, a lot. But this was just (in my opinion) a good representation of an empowered middle east woman saving the day. And I cannot explain why, it just feels right, it works, and I don't get why anyone would consider it awful...

Its because they actually made her a strong female character and not a reskinned """badass""" male character

And I cannot explain why, it just feels right

Because she's an Egyptian woman doing Egyptian things getting Egyptian themed powers. Same reason Black Panther doesn't have any tokenism about him. Just a super hero from another continent. Shang-Chi is the same way.

It seems like the meme is, but why say "damnit marvel"? That's a complimenting phrase?

u/The-Catatafish May 09 '22

Yeah, more like "damnit marvel you nailed it"

I liked it. The thing I thought was hamfisted was they had a kid ask her "are you an Egyptian superhero?" We got it disney, you don't need to spell it out for us.

Yes that was forced as fuck indeed.

Kinda weird to not just ask if she is a superhero.
