Welcome back everyone this will be my full ms marvel episode 5 video there were a whole bunch
of easter eggs and references we'll break it all down if you're brand new to the channel be sure
to subscribe to get all the episodes because thor love thunder is also out this week we're
also doing a giveaway for movie tickets all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and just
post all your ms marvel theories on the video careful for spoilers if you haven't seen the
episode yet we'll just start at the beginning and go through shot by shot talking about easter
eggs and wtf moments as we go along the big thing is they just confirmed a lot of theories
that people had about what really happened in the past to the great-grandmother aisha
in what's going on in present day with comrade's mother najma i know there's a lot of questions
with the mechanics behind the way their powers work especially at the end of the episode too
like how she able to transmit all of her power to comron so instantaneously as she was dying
i'll talk about that when we get to that part of the episode but the actual episode title was
called time and time again it's a reference to ms marvel time traveling in actually witnessing
the events of her grandmother's stories the day at the train station during partition
is sort of setting off a grandfather paradox situation where she becomes the person who helped
herself become ms marvel in the future by saving the grandmother who had the bengal in the past
the actual episode starts with an old hindi song playing over a custom black and white new version
of the marvel studios logo in the intro as if we were watching a marvel movie in the late 1940s
with that level of technology they did the exact same thing during the first couple of episodes of
one division that were set during previous eras of television with different levels of technology
so the video is made to look like we're watching a british broadcast during the 1940s and the opening
scene is of an actual british broadcast about the partition getting ready to happen august 15 1947.
this would have been a couple years after captain america had gone into the ice during world war ii
peggy carter would have already started working at the ssr which was the precursor agency that became
the modern day shield organization obviously before captain america winter soldier happened
so while this is playing out during this era we would have had young dominic cooper looking
howard stark the younger version of jarvis on the peggy carter tv series we also saw older jarvis in
the 1970s with an older version of howard stark played by john slattery during avengers end game
during the time heist mission they kept the same version of jarvis who just gave him old age makeup
but obviously they'd already used a slightly different version of howard stark in the iron
man movies so they wanted to keep it being john slattery instead of just putting old age makeup
on dominic cooper during avengers end game in all the footage explaining the actual partition
here at the beginning of the episode is meant to be real historical footage taken from that era
it is all accurate it explains pretty much what partition is how they divided the original larger
country of india up after the british basically left it to itself pretty much creating the modern
country of pakistan as you know it now forcing a massive number of people to be relocated to the
newly created pakistan including kamala khan's family because they were muslim they flashed
back a couple times in the episode to earlier periods to explain the birth of her grandmother
but the period that kamala travels back to is just that moment at the train station
during the actual partition the last day on the train that her grandmother kept telling them about
we then flash back to 1942 in the moments meant to be her great grandmother running from the british
soldiers immediately after they all take off from the ten rings temple like directly after
this moment and they have another custom version of the standard ms marvel tv show comic book title
sequence too this time done in hindi characters and the art style is meant to be in a traditional
style just meant to reference the events of the episode taking place mostly in the past obviously
she comes back to the future at the end of the episode but most of the episode took place during
the 1940s and after another short time jump we're just meant to see her great-grandmother seeing her
great-grandfather for the first time talking about gandhi here in the town they explained how they
met and how her grandmother was eventually born how they formed a family and why she decided not
to try and go back to their alternate dimension just because she had this new family to protect
and she cared more about them than she cared about going home also probably didn't want to try and
blow up half the planet in trying to go home or consume the planet as the red daggers explained
in last week's episode like oh yeah if they were actually trying to go back we would get absorbed
into the other dimension it would just consume this entire dimension eventually which kind
of winds up playing out towards the end of the episode until najma sacrifices herself to close
the barrier it's not so much an explosion is more of them being absorbed kind of like we saw during
the first doctor strange movie with dormammu trying to basically take over the entire main
dimension by absorbing it into the dark dimension we find out that the poem that kamala found etched
on the bengal was her great-grandfather's poem which itself is based on a classic poem that's
much much older it says when the soul lies down in the grass the world is too full to talk about it
what you seek is seeking you in the poem just in general is about achieving a more enlightened
state of existence like letting go of ego and ascending to a higher level of existence just
simply choosing a higher version higher expression of yourself which i think they're using in the
episode to be a metaphor for kamala khan sort of transcending herself and becoming the superhero
version of herself like becoming full comic book ms marvel also learning to use her power without
the actual bengal itself they teased that a couple times during the episode because you see a couple
different characters using their newer power without the actual bangle they also use the poem
what you seek is seeking you to be a reference to the end of the episode when the great-grandmother
aisha tries to use her power to bring the grandmother who's a little girl back from the
future to be the one to save herself but it winds up pulling kamala the great-granddaughter instead
that's why when she first sees kamala khan she mistakenly thinks that it's her daughter i think
the idea of their connection with their power across space and time is also meant to reference
what's happening with komron at the end of the episode basically getting his powers activated
by his mother when she sacrifices herself it's kind of that same biological connection that they
have even though they don't totally explain that don't worry i'll get into that later in the video
too like how exactly are they connected with their power their biology but when they actually flash
forward to the birth of her grandmother you notice aisha is wearing the same outfit that she was
in the picture that kamala saw her with the flower in her hair and her grandmother had been drawing
those pictures based on her memory the rose in her hair is meant to be from the roses in their garden
and i'm assuming she only took the bangle off like very very briefly because you see kamala's
grandmother playing with it as a baby then if it wasn't clear why her husband was so pissed off at
the person offering them food the idea is that they're being pushed out of their home no one's
buying his goods and selling anything to his wife at the market because they were muslims they were
different culturally from the rest of the people in the town and they were part of the group of
people in india that were forcibly relocated to pakistan after the partition then they basically
confirmed all of our theories from the past couple of episodes about what really happened to her
great-grandmother aisha camaron's mother najma is the one who tried to kill her to take the bengal
because aisha didn't care about going home like i explained she didn't want to go back to the
clandestine dimension because she had this new family on earth she wanted to protect and even
though they don't completely ever explain why najma is so dead set on going back to
the clandestine dimension i think the idea is that there's something in that dimension that
she left behind or that she was forced to leave behind that she wants to get back to like there's
something that she really cares about in that dimension it's not that she just wants more power
or anything like that they want you to sympathize with her at least a little bit but it's basically
the same conflict in the past that you see playing out in present day where she learns about the
bengal then tries to kill kamala khan to take the bengal or at least force kamala khan to help them
get back as i said they also confirmed the theory that kamala is the one who at least starts to help
saving the grandmother like she is the person who led the creation of the trail of stars the way
they explained the actual trail of stars though is when kamala was trying to save her with a platform
and was hurt the platform broke it broke into a bunch of pieces and the smaller pieces just looked
like stars so it really was kamala that saved her in the past like i said grandfather paradox
because the grandmother had the bengal in the past which kept it in the family line
you could also think of it as a bootstrap paradox because like the event of her coming back in time
caused her to get the bang on the future the funny connection to kang the conqueror is that that's
basically what kang does or all the different kang variants across the multiverse is they
basically protect or enhance the events that led to them becoming the version of kang that they
are in the future i think the big reason she sent the bangle with her daughter was just to keep it
out of najma's hands but also if it wasn't clear all of them within their family line have the same
power like her grandmother exists the same way that kamala exists with part human dna and park
clandestine dna the mother is the same as well too so like they'd all be able to use that same newer
ability then after the grandmother's save the bengal sends her back to the future like she falls
back through the portal into present day as if no time has passed everyone's passed out because of
the explosion caused by the bengal the first time and if it wasn't clear why the veil had opened
and was spilling out all this energy it's just because the bengal had given off so much newer
energy with that explosion that sent her back into the past they have a really quick joke about them
using the find my phone feature to learn where kamala is but that's a real thing like you can
actually do that to find missing people very handy for finding lost family members they don't
completely explain why the clandestine are killed when they try to enter the portal like they say it
won't work you're all gonna die anyway it sounds like it just has something to do with the unstable
nature of whatever this portal is the veil between different dimensions but like i said what the red
daggers explained in last week's episode is coming to pass with the clandestine dimension basically
absorbing the regular dimension killing everyone theoretically like everyone would die like this
and also they don't completely explain the mechanics behind what happens to najma and komron
with the transference of power but i believe what's going on here is that when najma sacrifices
herself like she transcends her human form to her natural form more energy-based form uses that
power to close the portal then whatever vestige of her power is left transfers to comron because
of some biological connection they have through the clandestine dimension like something about
the clandestine biology allows them to transfer their energy through generations like that so
like theoretically her grandmother and her mother could do the same thing to her like if one of them
were to die off like if her grandmother died she could transfer her power to kamala it's one of
those details that i don't completely expect them to explain in the final episode they might wait
to like the captain marvel 2 movie the marvels to explain everything because part of the reason for
making her powers work this way making her from an alternate dimension is just a flow with the plot
of that movie the obvious big connection here to the captain marvel 2 movie is it connecting with
what's happening in the shangshi movie because captain marvel very literally appeared in the
post-credits scene teasing the origin of the ten rings in this alternate dimension issues that we
don't know exactly who the signal is being sent to just the idea that it's being sent to whoever
created the ten rings with the symbols on the ten rings being very similar to the symbol on
the bengal and then both coming from the ancient past many hundreds of years before they found
the bengal in the ten rings temple a lot of people also now wondering if the blue arm that they found
it on is atlantean because of what's happening in black panther two with the atlanteans the mother
the grandmother are able to reconcile like the mother sees everything is real and i think that's
the reason why she has the picture with her like the great grandmother gives her the picture of her
great grandfather to give to her grandmother in the future but it's more about making the mother
reveal that all the stories were true everything that kamala says and everything that just happened
actually did happen because that was a big source of conflict for them when she was growing up like
her mother said that growing up she never believed the crazy stories about their family but now
obviously she saw it happen so she believes it when red dagger is saying goodbye he says the us
government has warrants out for his arrest i think we're meant to assume that the red daggers group
has also been active inside the united states in the past just chasing down those other clandestine
and that's where those warrants came from he also winds up giving kamala the red scarf that
becomes part of her upgraded comic book accurate costume that you see in the comics and they have
this funnier moment where they explained that her broken necklace that she had worn this whole time
which translates to her name basically broke but it broke into the shape of the ms marvel comic
book symbol so it's a funny way of saying that she's going to be running around in the future
fighting crime wearing her name in the way that say like captain america runs around with the a
on his costume like running around with his name on his costume they have a bunch of funny pictures
of her mother as a teenager the tickets as she explains in the photo album here are bon jovi
tickets and then they have the tag scene at the end with the powered up comrade going to bruno for
help because at least for right now they want to explain that komron is a good person and he wants
to help kamala khan and obviously escape damage control because now that most of the clandestines
seem like they're dead it sounds like the big threat in the finale is going to be damage control
then i think most of you probably understood the actual argon joke here like it's just a regular
chemistry joke all the best science jokes are gone are gone as in not here it's kind of like a
dumb chemistry joke like a dad joke they're really just using this moment to kind of clown on comrade
and just show you that he's kind of a meathead comrade not getting it like argon out one of
my favorite elements too also thinking the nikola tesla poster is because he's a tesla car fan like
yes the car company is named after nikola tesla but that's not why he had the poster on his wall
that i don't remember if the series has referenced bruno's parents being dead in the past but he says
his parents are gone so they're either dead or they're just completely gone and he's probably
living with his relatives like he wouldn't be living completely on his own then mention the
devil and he shall appear because the minute that they mention damage control one of the stark tech
drones in black like a stealth drone shows up tracking comron he uses his power to try and stop
it causing it to retaliate so r.i.p to bruno shop i talked about this in an earlier episode even
though spider-man no way home changed the timeline so like the edith glasses didn't wind up happening
with a version of peter parker because now in this timeline iron man would have never known a version
of peter parker they wouldn't have had that same kind of relationship together but it seems like
iron man still created the drones ultimately and then they were co-opted by damage control so these
are all meant to be like stark industries drones just repurposed for whatever they want them to do
the end credits for the episode are meant to be the same end credits that we saw during last
week's episode the ones with all the comic book art but done as if it were happening in karachi
because they literally traveled to karachi and yes the green ms marvel symbol at the end with
the star is meant to be a reference to the flag of pakistan overall it was probably one of the
shortest episodes of the series so far it was only about a half an hour long without the credits
there's still a ton of questions about how all this connects with what was happening during the
shangshi movie the 10 rings obviously did a lot of connections and easter eggs to other marvel
stuff like i said the iron man connection with the stark tech drones all the connections to the
captain marvel 2 movie i think that captain marvel will wind up showing up in a cameo scene during
the finale two paying off the comic book easter egg with her showing up to talk to kamala khan
because the whole idea is that she's this fangirl of captain marvel they spent so much time talking
about her in episode one she ultimately bases her name on captain marvel calling herself ms marvel
so probably one of the easiest predictions to make is that brie larson will have some kind of cameo
scene in the finale and it'll lead into what happens during the captain marvel 2 movie like
it'll be some teaser for that but if you spotted any big easter eggs in the episode that i didn't
talk about in the video just write them below in the comments or if you have any questions about
what happened in the episode and also post all your theories about what the post credit scenes
are going to be in the finale like what are the cameo scenes going to be who are you expecting
to see show up in the last episode and because so much of the plot now turns on this alternate
dimension of the clandestine it sounds like that's going to be a big thing during captain marvel 2 or
at least some of the newer energy from this other dimension but you can post all your theories about
that in the comments too thor love and thunder is coming out this week so i'll do my full post
credit scene video for breakdown easter eggs for the movie when it comes out in a couple days
i just posted my thor love and thunder review video you can click here for that
and you can click here for my brand new loki season 2 first look and easter eggs video
thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe and i'll see you guys in the next one!
