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.

The funny thing is Captain Marvel comes very close to straight up having this message but it gets kind of buried in the Girl Power thing it's mixed up with and disguised as

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

No, I don't think so, and I think this is a very lazy reading Without defending DoD partnerships with Disney movies as a whole, you have to work really hard to find anything actually pro-Air Force in this movie Like, at all

I don't think the Air Force actually cares that the message of the movie is ultimately anti-military, but that's because they don't actually generally care ] They're not movie critics The Navy got all excited about Battleship and it was obvious that movie was a laughingstock

The Air Force's primary fault is their wild sexism and they have exactly zero counterbalancing virtues in this movie The point of the movie is that you can't even credit them with making Carol into a hero, because they DIDN'T -- she already always was, that's the whole theme

She wants to fly. That's really not especially tied to wanting to be in the Air Force, it's just the Air Force is the only place where you plausibly have jet planes. It is, in its way, a selfish motivation, and an absurdly common one in fiction about pilots!
