Bad Luck Kamala- This meme has to do with the confining of Kamala's relationship with her parents. Most every child has been through this phase, where they believe that they know how to take care of themselves and wish that their parents would let them loose to have some fun. In the end, most children tend to believe that their parents wound up making the right call. Especially in Kamala's case. With great power comes great responsibility after all.
"Big Boots"- I noticed throughout the volume that when characters would reference Captain Marvel they would speak about her fashion sense, most specifically her "big boots." Now, clearly this is an underlying stab at the fact that Captain Marvel, like the majority of female superheroes, has rather large breasts. People look to the skies and want to see this typical picture of feminine power and beauty coming to save them, not the 16 year old Kamala.
Taylor Swift Transformation- It is telling that one of the first things Kamala is able to transform into is her mother, even though she tried to transform into Taylor Swift. This could be dissected into any number of things, but Kamala herself put it best when she said the situation was getting a little bit "Freudian."
Kamala's Astonished Koala- While this meme may not have a large underlying meaning to it, it is simply the most accurate look that I could picture on Bruno's face when he discovered that the superhero who was shot in his shop was none other then his best friend. The picture says it all.
Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteI think your memes hit the nail on the head. They both accurately tap into the theme of the meme images they are adapted from and speak to the themes of the text. I particularly like the "big boots" meme, as that awkward teenage boy look captures the meaning of the pun perfectly. I also agree that that Koala just evokes Bruno.
