What’s especially fitting is that the Naushad-composed song was sung by actors Shyam and Suriya, who were from the part of Punjab that would eventually become Pakistan - they were born in Sialkot and Lahore respectively, where two of my own grandparents were from - before they migrated to Bombay, where Kamala’s family lived in the comics, and where I myself grew up. The usual orchestral suite over the Marvel Studios logo is replaced by “ Tu Mera Chand” (“You are my moon”) from the 1949 film Dillagi, an anachronistic choice for a partition-focused episode but one that immediately conjures a nebulous nostalgia for the era (and, for many South Asian viewers, perhaps a grandparent-specific nostalgia, too). The episode ends strangely and suddenly, but along the way, it commits to the small screen far and away the most rousing images in any Marvel production.

Marvel - its title is practically a warning - but the series has built such a rich visual and thematic foundation that even the disjointed back half of “Time and Again” can’t stifle its emotional triumphs. This possibility has always loomed large over Ms. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier all but stopped dead for a centrist lecture, and Hawkeye’s intimate tale of a hero missing Christmas devolved into a cameo circus.
Loki, a free-will-versus-determinism dilemma writ large, ended by teasing future boss fights. WandaVision, a story of grief, was subsumed by fireworks and lore. In every Marvel show, inevitably, the story and the genuine artistry on display end up clashing with certain narrative and aesthetic demands, be they genre expectations, shared-universe building, a stifling production hand, or some combination of the three.
