Kamala didn\'t promise her parents anything. She stomped off in a huff after being told she couldn\'t go. Also, Mood Motif is usual for audio music, not a reference to music in a non-auditory medium. I\'ll leave that to a majority rules. To the discussion page!


* MoodMotif: In the first issue, Kamala sees Iron Man, Captain Marvel and Captain America singing the first verse of the traditional qawwali "Sakal bun phool rahi sarson," a song about a joyous trip to the shrine of the Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya. This sounds like the qawwali only a reminder of Kamala's heritage and beliefs, but the ''second'' half of the song mentions someone absent from this procession who promised to be there, tying the song to Kamala's breaking her word to her parents by sneaking out AND to Marvel itself, for both the in-universe superheroes and the comic industry seem to be saying that someone like Kamala should not only be one of them--but she should have been among their number before.

* MoodMotif: In 2014's Ms. Marvel #1 which introduces Kamala Khan, Kamala sees [[spoiler:Iron Man, Captain Marvel and Captain America singing the first verse of the traditional qawwali "Sakal bun phool rahi sarson," a song about a joyous trip to the shrine of the Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya. This sounds like the qawwali only a reminder of Kamala's heritage and beliefs, but the ''second'' half of the song mentions someone absent from this procession who promised to be there, tying the song to Kamala's breaking her word to her parents by sneaking out AND to Marvel itself, for both the in-universe superheroes and the comic industry seem to be saying that someone like Kamala should not only be one of them--but she should have been among their number before]].
