I don’t entirely disagree. But in terms of the narrative, the Clandestines are right at the power level they need to be. They have to balance a fine line between being credible threats on the one hand, and on the other being a group that an untrained teenager with rudimentary powers could believably defeat.

How well that’s executed is another question, and they could certainly have used a bit more pizazz. But overall I’d say they’re right where they need to be. Kamala isn’t (yet) at Carole Danvers levels of power, so she’s not quite ready to go plowing through giant starships hovering over upstate New York.
