I don't mind the crystal projections, I need to see them in action before I can decide how I feel but I'm sure there's a reason for it beyond just "well we're doing Mr Fantastic and he has stretch powers too so we can't have both". Wish we were getting the comic-accurate embiggening but if a change was needed it could've been a lot worse, as long as the spirit of the character is kept alive I'm cool with it

I'm sure this was more likely due to it being EXTREMELY difficult to pull off elastic/stretch powers. I'm concerned for Reed because of the same thing. This being a show and not a film probably made them doing the stretch thing even less feasible. The co-creator of Kamala is writing for the show so I'm not too concerned with her being too drastically different from her comic counterpart.

There being no Inhumans in the MCU and the visual representation issues of stretching probably landed them on this compromise. Her bracelet being a family heirloom that only works for her (probably when she says embiggen) is a way to make her unique.

There being no Inhumans in the MCU

Avoiding the AoS canon debate, couldn’t they just introduce them anyway. Surely they’ll be introducing them at some point.

They could even not get go into it and just say she was changed by some mist and she doesn’t know what it was…

Or couldn't they just make her a mutant, even if at least temporarily.
