It's weird..

they took people who are mutants in comics and made them not-mutants in the movies because that was the only way

Now, they take a not-mutant in the comics [from what I am told] and make them a mutant in the movies because they can


EDIT: I have seen some of the X-Men movies.. But like once. The musical theme(s) wouldn't stand out to me like say "Star Wars" themes. But that's OK because "mutation" was enough

I like the name origin/reveal

and I really really did not expect Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel herself to appear. Thought she was too much of a "big name" for a Disney + credit scene.

Oh, there was never a shred of doubt in my mind that she would appear. Given the Marvels movie coming up, plus Kamala's obsession with her.

And the way they did it, she didn't even have to show up. They could have just shot it wherever she was.

That was a lot of fun. And weeks later, I'm still chuckling about the IlluminAunties.

X-Men ‘97 is Marvel’s shorthand way to refer to “X-Men: The Animated Series,” that aired as a part of the Fox Kids television block from 1992 to 1997, and will be continued with a forthcoming Disney+ relaunch. The theme from that show was considered quite iconic for fans of the show.

I assumed Monica Rambeau would be the person that would show to link Ms. Marvel to the upcoming "The Marvels" movie

doh... that would make it even harder for me.

I loved that x-men animated series, but I completely missed the music cue. I'll need to watch again.

Brie has done a lot of extra curricular activity for Marvel this year. She was at the opening of Marvel Campus at Disney Paris. She's part of the Marvel videos on Disney cruiselines.

So yah, she seems like a sport to do these small cameos.

I would say you aren't an X-Men unless you are apart of Charles Xavier's team of superheroes. I don't even think you are an X-Men if you go to his school.

And certainly the thousands (millions) of random mutants across the world aren't X-Men.

I had to rewind to make sure I saw what I thought I saw when Kamala, as Ms. Marvel, waited for the traffic light to turn from red to green before continuing to light-hop across the city. I got a chuckle out of that.

Did this show's reveal of the thought process behind the Ms. Marvel name match what was in the comics?

I googled "embiggen" to see if it was a real word and was surprised to learn that it was first used on The Simpsons in 1996. I thought it would have been a Marvel invented word.

"Embiggen" has been added to a US dictionary - a word first heard on The Simpsons in 1996.
Merriam-Webster included the word, which has been popularised partly because of the comic Ms Marvel, among 850 new words and definitions.
It is from the motto of The Simpsons' fictional town of Springfield: "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."
It means to "make bigger or more expansive", says Merriam-Webster.

It's a perfectly cromulent word!

Here's a nice article about the music on Ms. Marvel, of which I didn't recognize a single song.

The Music of ‘Ms. Marvel’ Has a Lesson for Hollywood

From beloved Bollywood standards to underrated South Asian artists, the Marvel series finds authenticity through its soundtrack.

A noble spirt embiggens the smallest man.

This show started out so promising then it just got more and more corny. I almost bailed but kept watching thinking it would get better...it didn't.

FWIW, The musical cue during that moment was from the X-Men ‘97 theme, as confirmed in the credits.

That cue was unmistakable. And terrific.

It was only unmistakable if you had watched X-Men '97, which I never knew even existed let alone watched.

😮

But that theme song is iconic!

You might also recognize it if you recently watched.

It wasn’t called X-Men 97 back then. Just like they don’t call in Chinese Food in China, just food.
