Half of her lines were cringeworthy reactions to doing things or meeting people. She acts like a teenage girl near her crush whenever anything happens and it's honestly painful, but I was expecting her to be full "future is female" cult material.
Kamala's shtick is more of a "ZOMG I'M SUCH A SUPERHERO FANGIRL AND MY FAVORITE HERO GAVE ME HER NAME!!!" thing. She's an Inhuman who was blessed by Carl Manvers herself with the "Ms. Marvel" name once she got smacked with the Terrigen mists and got her powers. Her comic book character is just about as awful as it sounds, because it's either fangirl SQUEE'ing, her pulling a Mr. Fantastic-style ripoff of changing her body's size and shape to fight street-level crime, or being a mouthpiece for whatever SJW writer du jour is handling the book, with added bonus of the character being a teenage Muslim girl.
Given that, I'm not surprised that the majority of her lines were total cringe.
Ironheart would be Patient #4 (or maybe #5 if you backtrack and count Squirrel Girl's transition to wokeness as the #1 and shift everyone forward), and her origin is a complete shit-show. "She's a black teenager that's smarter than Tony Stark!" Yeah, if that were the case then why'd she have to steal Tony's armor designs to build her suit?
So, basically, to "fight stereotypes", they just build a character out of nothing but new and acceptable stereotropes and demand we worship the shit. Got it.
I guess "false idols" come in many different forms, and from many different places, after all.
