      You know how superheroes, like Green Lantern are War Machine are ex-military? I always thought it would be interesting to have a military superhero that utterly hates the military that made them.

      Like look everyone brings up that final scene with Jude Law trying to berate her and get his hooks back into her and she just shuts him up by blasting him And they say it's about sexism, and patriarchy, and mansplaining And sure, it's about those things, but not ONLY those

      Like of course these are gendered roles Carol and Yon-Rogg are playing here but they're not *only* gendered It's not just patriarchy, it's *paternalism* It's how men treat women, but also how elders treat juniors, parents treat children, the elite treat the poor

      And it's *built into the military mindset*, and it would be just as relevant regardless of the genders of the NCO and the grunt here The whole idea of the military -- the basic theme of pro-military movies -- is that you, as you are, by yourself, are not good enough

      You have to be "broken down to be built back up" You need *discipline*, you need *training* You need to be integrated into a team, you need to learn to take orders and follow a chain of command You need to shave your head and wear a uniform and pass inspection every day

      Pro-military movies are about how this process is necessary, it's healthy, it's a painful but beautiful thing, it's how you fulfill your potential and become your true self and not the lazy slob you were Brie Larson shooting Jude Law in the face is a flat rejection of this

      The idea that her powers are a result of training and discipline and it's something the military "invested" in her and she owes them service in return for that gift? A fucking lie "I could ALWAYS do this I was ALWAYS awesome It's my fucking BLOOD, it's MY BIRTHRIGHT"

      This is, of course, not a wholly unproblematic message In fact it's the core thing Ayn Rand was about But, after all, themes are about overall emotional feelings, not developed political platforms That teenage anti-authority rage? Those teenagers DO HAVE A POINT

          "In fact it's the core thing Ayn Rand was about" Well except that Carol was largely using her powers for others, not self interest. So it's more following the Spider-Man way.

          That's always kind of a bs exemption, though. It was how Ditko could try to sanitize Rand's philosophy - "the real Objectivist stands up for others because of their nobility of spirit!" which is great when you have an actual noble spirit and a society which encourages it. But...

          That's pretty much how I ended my final session with the psychologist my parents ill-advisedly thought would help me with my teenage aggression problems (Turns out, my bullies getting their asses kicked by teachers was all I needed to get out of my rebellious phase, weird, huh?)

          side note, the valence of anti-authority messages in fiction varies WILDLY depending on what you take the authority to be a real-world metaphor for case in point: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

          i first saw it under obama. and it's all about cap defying the authority of the un because in his heart he knows his friend is innocent. and i read this as a kinda terrible message--cap just clearly being in the wrong, resisting the rule of law just because it's his friend
