A controversial change is brewing on the pages of Marvel Comics, one that its cinematic counterpart might have helped make. The comics may exist in a world separate from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, but the MCU’s influence on them has always been strong. Marvel Studios is bound to take liberties with its source material, and in the case of characters like Shang-Chi and the Mandarin, Black Panther’s M’Baku, or Moon Knight, those changes are for the better. But the MCU’s recent retcon of Kamala Khan (aka Ms. Marvel) surprised a lot of fans, and with the comics following suit, it’s clear the brand is trying to undo one of its biggest failures.
