I didn't care enough about Kamala's show to watch it all the way through. From what I remember and what I saw, Iman Vellani did a good job of not being a super annoying fangirl, which is the main complaint most folks have about the comic character. She's pretty cringy because she's obsessed with all the people she's fighting alongside and it makes the character insufferable. They solved that with some of the later iterations of Kamala, including the one in the Avengers game's main story who was markedly less annoying than any other iteration prior. I just kind of don't care about India or the Partition or any of that stuff going on in the background.

Nah, they dropped the whole fangirl thing as a common occurrence a while back in comics. The show doesn't lean into it very much.

I can't say the show was a 10/10, but they kept the spirit of the character that well. The ending was "good enough" imo
