Sorry?? How could they fuck up Tyesha and Aamir's wedding like that?
Why is Tyesha being expected to dress according to desi culture, the scene where people are putting her henna on and Aamir's just like where's my shoes? Where's the love?
Compare it to this:
Do you see? The exchange of cultures? The surprise on their faces? No expectation, two people choosing each other, choosing to appreciate the other's culture and background.
Meanwhile mcu Aamir dancing in his shalwar kameez in a bollywood style dance sequence, like sorry but comic Aamir would never, music is haram you know, shaytaan shaytaan!
Also Nakia wearing it too, i think it would be beautiful if she wore a kaftan i think celebrating other cultures is beautiful. Also she was dancing too and again comic Nakia would never.
Another thing is the complete lack of discussion on anti-black racism. In the show it's Aamir's wedding basically, Tyesha is there as a background character. But in the comic they actually discuss the anti-black racism that's rampant in a lot of non-black muslim communities.
Like Aamir basically has to fight for Tyesha and he's so worried that his family and community won't accept her. (Also the fair and lovely line is so based)
Also like look at what Tyesha is wearing, no make up, no turban, fully covered in a jilbab/chador. Of course that was too much for the mcu no no she needs to show more skin. Clearly desperate for the appproval of white palates.
Also look at this:
In the show right, you literally dont see her parents which is such a fucking shame. Theyre not characters, theyre just there to clap along. Look here though, they've got their own culture and they're struggling with Tyesha seemingly breaking away from that.
Also Tyesha's brother (unnamed) in the show is a lot younger and wears a thobe in one scene and a shalwar kameez in another. Lmao you wouldn't catch Gabriel dead in one of those. The Hillman's have two kids veering off in very different directions and it just feels so real and normal.
In the end the two families reconcile and Mr. Hillman says: long live the Hillman-Khans and isn't that beautiful. Literally where was any of this.
To end I just want to show this scene from the comics of Tyesha and Nakia debating the meaning of hijab which we will never get in the mcu bc the mcu sucks and can't show anything other than a turban with makeup and is about as deep as a puddle.

Thinking once again about how beautifully and nuanced Ryoko Kui crafted Toshiro and Laios' relationship. And how in a way the many interpretations and types of reactions say a lot about the viewers' lives and perspectives.
How sometimes two people might want to be polite, might want to be kind, but due to their differences, misscommunication and their own personal flaws they will only end up hurting each other. And the longer their misscommunication lasts, the more it hurts. How sometimes if people spoke sooner it wouldn't get to be so bad.
And how reactions say how quite much everyone been in some kind of situation like that. We assume the best and the worst intentions in each other.
We have to deal with a person who can't stop bothering us. Deal with a person who seems a little shy but they are nice but actually no, they secretly hate us. Situation where someone pretends to be a friend or for some forsaken reason forces themselves to hang out with us. When it's hard to confront someone. When we are too much. When we are in the wrong without realising it. When it's hard to be confronted. Being in a situation you wish you were confronted at the start. How sometimes confrontation is near impossible. Taking a risk of confrontation in general. Not being able to find the right words. Not being able to utter them.
Sometimes we'd all rather to point fingers and call each other names instead of realise the flaws of the world that we live in. How sometimes there Sure are bad people and bad intentions but sometimes it's also just all a bad accident with good intentions on both sides, and lack of education.
Ryoko Kui crafted such a very nuanced and beautiful story. A story with details such show the readers and viewers' feelings and perspectives and shortcomings when interacting with other people. And yeah, i think that's beautiful. Bless.

Okay wait also ignore the fanfic I'm writing about Tim's parent's being not great but like- TIm loves his parents? Not LovED- LOVES!! Y'all wanna talk about the recent issue of Batman where he's going to save Bruce (again) and before getting Bruce he takes one final chance to see his mom again?? TIM LOVES HIS PARENTS!!
Tim's parent's weren't abusive, they weren't neglectful, I think they just didn't know how to have a kid. Were they perfect parents? NO! But GOD DAMNIT THEY TRIED! And time LOVES THEM! and they LOVED TIM! "Oh but Jack didn't want Tim to be Robin! Jack pointed a gun at Batman" YEAH!! WOULDN'T YOU?? You find out your billionaire next door neighbor is sending your kid out to find KILLER CLOWNS AND CROCODILES, PUTTING YOUR UNDERAGE SON IN BOOTY SHORTS AND ELF BOOTS TO GO FIGHT CRIME, AND YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT CONCERNED??
Listen, they weren't perfect, but as someone with a busy mom, as someone who's had to go to boarding school, as someone who's had rocky relationships with their parents they've come back from, who's seen it with other boarding school (actually) rich kid friends, it's possible.
Tim Loved his parents, Tim loves his parents, Tim loves Bruce but Tim misses his dad, his mom, Dana. If you want to write fics where they're abusive? Fine, have at it, write what you want it's fan FICTION! But when you look at canon? What you have to know before writing anything? Tim loves his parents, he still does.

how wild must it be for punkflower during the Secret Empire event in the comic. Hobie wouldn't be able to port to Miles' dimension for months and once he does he finds out Miles literally just survives a fascist regime, got Red Room training from Black Widow, got arrested for nearly bashing Nazi (fake) Cap's head in, and in general just punched a lot of fascists. he'd probably propose right away.

'A' Is For... by virginiainbloom - Chapter 7
He steps closer, but as he does the Captain sees his big, ridiculously brown eyes flicker with a sudden distraction, and then Anthony smiles.
“You've got glitter…” he says very softly, touching the pad of his finger first to his own face and then, so lightly it's barely there at all, to the same spot on the Captain's face, just to the side of his nose.
Goosebumps rise up all over the Captain's skin, even though he's anything but cold.
Initial sketch under the cut.
:)
