South Asian moms forcing visitors to take food by having it ready ASAP is a running cultural gag 😂 loved how they pulled it off. Looking forward to the upcoming jokes!

[@necorV]

I felt that joke not just in my asian heart but in my stomach as well.....

[@Neoxon619]

My parents used to visit my dad’s desi co-worker quite often. And yeah, that’s accurate. But hey, their cuisine is great, so I’m not complaining.

[@denniswijker7162]

When I was in highschool I was friends with a turkish boy, and whenever I would be at his house, his mom ALWAYS tried to give me food to go :)

I was going to say the same exact thing! Right when I saw that, I chuckled a little bit 😂

[@niflheimrr9899]

More like, it's really a general Asian thing. Not to stereotype, but I'm an Asian myself lmao.

[@thenaiam]

The suggestion that there's this power that was passed down from the grandma, then the mom, who rejected it, then to the daughter. And the mom is the strict one, while the dad is chill, more permissive, and willing to go along with what the daughter is into reminds me of the dynamic in Turning Red.

[@coreyano]

Yep

[@angrypvz1236]

It’s the formula we’ve been seeing for A LOT of Asian families in media recently. Another one that did this was Everything Every All At Once. It’s a very real dynamic, if a bit stereotypical. As a Muslim asian American, dads do tend to be more lax than the moms, but they can be strict too. It is usually true tho that mom is the strict one 😂

[@thenaiam]

[@VagabondSaint]

Imma go rogue right now and say that the armband Kamala wears is somehow connected to Shang Chi's 10 rings. There's graffiti in one scene that shows an arm and 5 rings, and it being a family heirloom makes me think that it came down from space when the rings came down and they scattered over Asia.

Regarding that fridge in the "things hulk smashed" area, I took this as a nod to the Stan Lee cameo in Incredible Hulk, where he drinks the soda contaminated with Banner's blood. I like to think he hulked out immediately after drinking it, and pressed his hand through the door.

[@cammoore___]

One that you missed is that in the Avengercon scenes, you see Kamala playing on a big arcade game, which is a Hulk hammer smash game, which may be a reference to Marvel's Avengers (2020), as that is a game you play to get a comic in the opening for the game.

[@thejaded]

Good god that game is bleh

Erik, you did it again! THAT IS A REAL NYC Building. It is 30 Hudson Yards, part of the Hudson Yards Complex.

[@jeffcutkomp461]

Haha I was going to say the same thing! Hudson Yards, Edge Observation deck not a landing pad…

I'm so proud of abdil and bilal, Belgian proud!!

[@skeven0]

and also Cinematographer of the first episode ,Robrecht Heyvaert a friend/worked on other projects with the duo, so that line of *Rob from Belgium* is a easter egg also

[@letsroamaround2189]

@@skeven0 I hoped it was a refrence to the Belgian youtuber Average Rob 😭😂

At 10:38 it's a purple flower and six rings. I just found that interesting with the importance of purple, a flower being delicate and the bangal.

[@JorgeTorresPhotoVid]

YESSSSS!!! I was so waiting for a "We Don't Talk About Bruno" reference 😂😂😂

[@grannydeez13]

Loved the vibe of this episode

[@sameer8996]

This shows screams the facts that the creators put all the love in this one.

[@markmiller2593]

Kamala's mom packing food so quick is actually true... This is the super power of Pakistani mom's 😭😭

[@Eveliane]

The style is so fun and cozy, I really enjoyed this, much more than I expected

[@drawzamation39]

6:04 this is exactly what I was thinking lol

[@BoiseyMusic]

I love how no one has mentioned when Kamala said “No no no Bruno” in school when we first see him.

[@aliciaoconnell4083]

Loved this! Another hit for marvel!

Could the fridge with the Hulk handprint be a Stan Lee easter egg? It looks a lot like the fridge that held the soda with Ed Norton's blood from when it fell on the conveyor belt. I know it's a shot in the dark, but it would make sense that Stan drank the blood and had a Hulk moment, slamming into the fridge. Just a thought.

Kamala:Bismillah Also Kamala: *drives backwards and crashes* That had me dying Lmao

[@ronpetersen2317]

It was very good first episode ... but best to leave your Marvel expectations at the door and come in to it fresh. I was skeptical about the stylized elements going in but came away quite happy.

[@chadd990]

No need to be skeptical or have high expectations. Just go into it enjoying it for what it is.

16:55 - Star-Boy is also a reference to the Weeknd who wrote the song, Blinding Lights, used for the trailer and the intro to the series. "Starboy" is an album and song made by the Weeknd.

[@marvelcomicsgeek1979]

The MCU official Earth designation is 199999. However within the MCU they call it 616. The comics side of things are ultimately the boss as Marvel Studios is just an extension of that company. So the official Marvel Multiverse designation for the MCU is Earth-199999.

[@FranciscoRamirez-nb4uu]

@@Poppleworks yeah in Loki the TVA tempad said something like 616.13... or somthing like that

[@TheAbnormalDesign]

I think the "purple realm" Kamala falls through is the train station with all the refugees. You can clearly see a lot of them standing in top of the train in the background.

[@jonathantomlinson01]

I love how it felt like a more relatable family friendly inclusion better Scott Pilgrim. They nail it

[@IFeelLikeAG6]

Star boy dvd at the convention may also be a slight nod to the continuation and/or usage of the blinding lights Weeknd song at the beginning of the episode as he has a song called “Starboy”
