Another excellent episode.
In this episode Kamala and her family travel to Karachi, Pakistan to see her grandmother. Kamala hopes to learn more about her powers and her family history from her grandmother.
This episode does a wonderful job of exploring the lore behind how Kamala received her powers. At the same time as we discover this lore, we also even more deeply attached to Kamala. She discovers that her family history is much deeper than she thought. As we discover this at the same time she does, we feel like we are on this journey with her. The result is simply wonderful and completely engaging. The lore itself can be complex but never too complex to confuse or disengage the audience. Because of this we become completely engrossed as it makes the world of this show feel all the more real. The family drama is also excellent here. Not only are Kamala's relationships with her mother and her grandmother very well explored but the same can be said for the relationship that her mother and grandmother have with each other. This leads to some very touching scenes.
While this episode digs further into the lore, there is also a lot of pure superhero fun to be had here. The action scenes are great. The episode finds delightfully clever ways to use Kamala's powers in these action scenes. The fight by the train station is especially well done. The scenes where Kamala is exploring all she can do with her powers are equally delightful.
The humor in this episode is fun but not really hilarious. The humor here will often make you smile more than it will make you really laugh. However, there is nothing really wrong with that.
Again, I feel the villains of this show are rather weak and bland. However, since they are not the focus here that is hardly a problem.
This show continues to be a pure delight for this Marvel fan.
