It kind off is, the worst thing about her is that while she really works as a character, both her power-set and super-hero names aren't really good, like I get they were going for the internet fangirl thing but having her just be Ms. Marvel rather that her own thing was a huge missed opportunity,
Eh, personally I don't mind the idea that she chose a name close to her icon Captain Marvel. It makes sense to me that a young woman like herself would do that, plenty of real world people do stuff like that to some degree or other, so it doesn't bug me really.
That being said I think her having a goofy power-set was the right call, she's really goofy in general and giving her abilities that sometimes lead to Looney Tunes situations really fits her personality, so if I'm honest I don't mind all that much, though I do get it's not something most people would consider to be a cool power-set.
Emphasis on sometimes. I'm all for that, but from the (admittedly small) amount of her content that I've seen, it's not a sometimes thing that they make her look comical in her power usage. That it's always like that. Her Big Fisting approach to combat is implied to be sort of her standard method of attack. Basically, I'd like to see them utilize her powers more like they did with Elastigirl, though way more grapply than punchy. Sure, have her do some comical stretchy stuff too, that's fine, I'm all for comedy in my comics. Just you know, not her default state being that.
I guess I just, one of my biggest issues with comics is the way some powers seem to be sort of secondary ideas to the devs, like how people always mock Jubilee for just "making lights and sounds with her hands" and I'm just thinking "I'm sorry but, sonic and light attacks are incredibly disabling, she's actually pretty fucking terrifying if , you know, somebody who was on the writing team actually utilized her powers well." It's like that one Nightcrawler scene in the opening of X-Men 2, where you realize "Oh shit, ok someone who can -just teleport- is actually pretty fucking terrifying when they are used properly" And I feel the same way about Kamala and her power set. I'd personally rather see her have something else, because I just don't like stretchy powers that much. But if she has to have them, at least make it really apparent that she can be incredibly dangerous with them. Have her train into it, with some grappling specialists or something, make it be a progression in her power advancement, not just "I'm able to get even bigger hands to fist you with."
Anyway, rant over. I'm psyched to play the game, especially Kamala. I hope they make her feel like the badass I think she is, when I'm playing her. But we'll see.
Sidenote: They gave Banner a beard in the scene where Kamala is first talking to him, when in the previous trailer he didn't have a beard. The first choice was better. He looks really dumb with that Beard of Sorrow.
