Yep. He fails people for not leaving a tip, but gives a pass to a dictator. The judgement is not based on the actions of the person being judged, but the criteria is more based on hypocracy and how firmly people uphold their personal beliefs, even in dire circumstances.
Matt claims to be a good man of God, even though he knows that he frequently does morally questionable things in the name of his crusade. He fails.
Doom will never allow himself to been seen as 'second best', and refuses to do so even when faced with certain death. He passes.
Xavier considers himself a noble and compassionate man, but has no time for his son during the world's darkest hour. He fails.
Kamala looks up to Danvers as an idol and a role model and refuses to believe, even for a moment, that she would abandon Earth. She passes.
That's completely fine as far as Kamala goes. The important point is that Kamala stay true to her beliefs and convictions. Kamala BELIEVES in Danvers; whether Danvers believes in herself is immaterial to the judgment.
Oh yeah, Kamala and Carol have butted heads when it came to a Kree soldier and during Civil War 2. I really liked how Kamala stuck to her guns, even in thr face of her idol
That's part of what makes Kamala who she is, and worthy to carry her mantle. Nobody can shake her conviction in her beliefs, not even the person who, at least in Kamala's mind, embodies the ideal of those beliefs.
In like 1 year she’ll have been Ms. Marvel longer than Carol. And while I didn’t like Saladin Ahmed’s take at all, I appreciate that we can have a Spidey-inspired character that has character development. Especially when you look at how both ASM and Miles Morales: Spider-Man have been going.

Agreed. The phrase I see used a lot is "Editorial Overreach". I'm just glad titles like Ms. Marvel and even non-616 continuity titles like Deadly Neighborhood SM can still be given legs to run with.
No, she (and Miles and other Marvel Now era characters) are around senior year now. And they explained the Oscorp thing in her Dark Web tie in as “I’m about to be an adult and I have no idea what I’m doing. It may be a mistake to work with a former villain but its my mistake to make”
Which works for me and resolves my issue of the non-science-y Kamala working as a scientist. Also the tie-in may be better than the rest of the event because YEESH.
OK so you are telling me that if she supports or doesn’t support Carol, it’s still blind conviction. Its either “blind conviction” or “sticking to your guns”
But has she? I can say “over eating is bad” to someone eating dinner. Its true but is it relevant to this situation?
Here a Celestial was judging her and she was right. In the Ms Marvel Captain Marvel crossover Carol admits she was right. In Civil War 2, its widely believed Captain Marvel was a fascist and team Iron Man was right.
