The Marvelous Ms... er Captain Marvels pt 2| UYNC Ep 22

This week’s episode of Up Your Nerd Cred continues our Marvels duology with a focused deep dive into Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan.

We cover:
• Why Monica Rambeau keeps getting renamed and how her trajectory has been shaped by racism, sexism, and editorial decisions.
• The differences between Monica’s comics history and her MCU portrayal in WandaVision and The Marvels.
• Kamala Khan’s evolution from Inhuman to mutant, from solo hero to Champion, and why she’s the heart of Gen Z superhero storytelling.
• How corporate synergy, MCU needs, and shifting comics priorities impact Kamala’s identity.
• The importance of representation and cultural specificity in superhero stories.
• Why Kamala’s joyful, earnest fandom is the opposite of toxic geek culture.
