The delivery of the line "What you seek is seeking you" is framed with Kareem in the middle, replete with Walid glancing briefly at Kareem.

I think the reason Gargantos was invisible at first is because Wanda slapped an invisibility rune or something on him so that he could get close to America without too much trouble (he causes a hell of a disturbance, but because he’s invisible, nobody knew exactly _what_ was attacking, what to do about it, where to run, how to fight back against something you can’t even see, etc). Meanwhile, if a giant cycloptopus (hah) just randomly showed up in the middle of NYC, you can bet people would go “Supernatural sh*t! Someone get the peeps from the Sanctum!”

I look forward to these videos so much. Thankful for your channel.

I like it more when Reese said that line in the original Terminator.

If "Realms" were shared by Universes than travel between universes would be trivialized by travel between realms. Which undermines the entire "Only America can physically travel between universes" thing. All you have to do is travel to a realm, then travel to another universe. Or even just "meet" your variant there. How is our Strange the only one that fought Dormammu during his attack? Where are all the arrogant and war-hungry stranges trying to fight him within the dark dimension? I just think each universe has different versions of each realm, it's the easiest explanation.

"What you seek is seeking you" is from the 13th century Persian poet RUMI and it actually translates to (you will become whatever that you seek)

The distinction between realms and universes makes sense because all the places defined as realms for some reason are outside the confines of “time.” They are unaffected by it. Even if they are, the rules that govern how time operates is completely different.

Great episode definitely 👏 👌 👍

honestly, that tree on the map looks like the map from love and thunder and even looked like it had a figure shape stood under it

@ 12:58 in Ms Marvel S01E04, the song in background is Sindhi Song "kadahen milanda seen" means when we will meet. This song shows that lovers have not met so long and can not meet, and dying to meet/seeking to meet . The use of this song in this episode may depicts that Kamala and other (aisha/bangle truth) are seeking each other.

Aramis Knight was awesome in AMC’s short-lived series Into The Badlands a few years ago.

It's 100% gonna be Kamala with the trail of stars

The map of the realm(s) certainly had that blue Kree glow... of Kree tech.

Very detailed explanation about universes and realms

Good explanation about the realms

Loved this episode

I think the term realm and universe are two different things. In Norse Mythology realms are stacked on top of each other When the leader of the red dagger twist the nozzle to reveal the map it kind of appears on top of ours. I think alt universes also contain the same realms but alternate versions of that realm.

You guys are awesome!

It was refreshing learning things I never knew before.

"unleash their world onto ours" sounds like terraforming rather than an incursion.

Good episode but hope the next picks up the pace. I hope it's a special flashback episode like Previously On and Asylum.

a small detail i noticed about the fight in the train station is that its mostly in a 2D plane, kind of like its in a fighting game. i have no idea if that was intentional or if its just that i dont go outside

10:40 reminds me of the first doctor strange movie when he sends them to different places by turning a knob lol

I think the realm incursion sounds more like what almost happens with the Doctor Strange dark dimension

I really don't think you've got realms down lol They are the same in every universe, a Noor dimension in 616 and 838. Both have realms and dimensions, but they don't share the same one. Realms and Dimensions inhabit universes but are layered over/under/within them
