You are misunderstanding. It's not about the idea of having the moment, it was how the moment was written.
I have no issue with a scene where a child is in awe and amazement that they get to see a superhero who is like them, when there are so few. It can be a magical moment, and really pull on your heart strings. The viewer should feel the joy bursting out of that child. However when it is written in a way that was (imo) too direct to the point, it comes up short on it being a truly magical moment. Its like it was wedged in there just to have it. Not tactfully weaved into the moment.

I am repurposing the above quote to demonstrate my feelings on the scene with the child. ^ This is the way I feel about the scene with the child in Moon Knight.
Too on the nose, but I understand the reason, and it is what it is.

Change classic, to cliche, and yes.

You explaining makes your opinion make even less sense. There is literally nothing like that in the moment that I cannot understand why you feel it was that way.
If it was less direct, it would feel way less real and thus remove the magic because they would be essentially going "LOOK WE DID A GOOD!"
Honestly, you say you found it too cheesy, but this explanation comes across of wanting more cheese in the moment.

I think in my past 10 comments, I explained how I feel more than sufficiently. If you still don't understand where I am coming from, then I understand why you basically needed someone to stare into the camera and tell you that they are an Egyptian Superhero. lol

I really liked the scene where the kid asks, 'are you a Egyptian superhero?'
As a person of colour, I know exactly how hyped I'm going to be when there's a legit Indian superhero in the MCU/DCEU. It means a lot.
I think people are focusing on the kid in that scene.
That scene's important for Layla. She hesitates a moment before answering because she didn't make any of the choices that led her there with the intent to "be a superhero". But now that she had, and she thinks about it for half a second, yeah. She isn't gonna stop once Ammut's taken care of.
All this fuss over two lines in a 6 episode series? lol...
Honestly, the superheroing stuff was the least interesting part of that show. And it's nice that they didn't show anything more of Mark's vigilante stuff than the baggage he was carrying because of it.
Amazing Spider-Man has been "rebooted" several times in the last decade alone though.
Also, Spider-Man has had multiple monthly titles. As well as team books.
But his general point stands. There have been plenty of female characters that have been around as long as Peter Parker...but none of them have anywhere near as many comic book appearances. The closest is probably Sue Storm... and she was "The Invisible Girl" for almost 25 years before finally changing her name to "The Invisible Woman".

I'd actually kinda like a prequel series that dealt specifically with Mark accumulating that bagage. Could loosely base it around the Huston/Finch run from 2006. It also works in the sense that Steven and Jake are hardly even mentioned. Sanity-wise... it's one of Mark's lowest points.

Here's our first look at She Hulk.
Just don't reply to me. Please. If you can help it.
oh lol his reactions...
That CGI is pretty bad. Like, everything about the CGI is bad.
I does seem fun, and i like the idea of bringing back hulk and the guy who did abomination, but the CGI is in the uncanny valley territory, rly weird.
The tinder gag was a bit cringe too.
All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
More than just a gag; it's a pretty significant plot point in the storyline they seem to be referencing, here, not just done to be silly. Bruce's schtick is that he and Hulk hate each other; even his current iteration is just Banner with Hulk's body, and Hulk could come back any time. Jennifer's schtick is that she's a wallflower who's constantly overlooked and overly shy, but secretly wishes she had more confidence, and She-Hulk brings that confidence to an aggressive degree. It's not a duality, She-Hulk is basically Walters dialed from a 2 to 11, and it starts causing her a lot of problems because Shulkie doesn't have the best emotional control, but is also arrogant/confident enough to not see that/not think it's a problem. It's wish fulfillment that goes too far, basically, and the whole arc is about her finding more balance and coming to terms with herself.

Yeah, there's this whole thing about how gamma mutants aren't the same in their gamma forms, and for Walters specifically, Shulkie is WAY more prone to risky behaviour and partying all night. Part of the point being made in that arc, too, is that nobody would've considered this worth commenting on if she were a male hero. Exploring that double standard and getting to the root of Walters' personal trauma are the core of that particular element of the comic arc.
