      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.

          And even though Ditko's politics were shit, I still think he did have a point there The military teaches you that even to *have a sense of right and wrong* is something they need to beat into you That civilians are all selfish bastards, the military teaches you honor and duty

          Only through the experience of war can you learn true courage, true loyalty and friendship, true sacrifice and altruism, etc. etc. It's all BS As an institution and as individuals they're as selfish motherfuckers as anybody else

          I recall an issue arising when Spider-Man swung past protestors w/ his fist up. Ditko intended Spidey to be angry w/ the protestors, but Stan Lee read that as him supporting the protestors. Due to the Marvel Method, the text reflected Stan's read of it.

          Which is funny, considering how helping others is portrayed in a lot of Rand's work.

          This is kind of a flattened view of Rand I hate to sound like I'm defending her but look, in The Fountainhead she has Howard Roark tell Gail Wynand "If this boat were sinking I would willingly drown to save your life without a moment's hesitation"

          This aspect, and the "Marvel Method" led to one of my favorite early Marvel anecdotes. The Marvel Method was their way to streamline comic production. A basic script would be decided on. The Artist would draw the pages. Afterward the writer would decide dialogue and whatnot

          A Spider-man comic had a group of protesters mentioned in the basic script, to establish them for a later plot point. Ditko draws the standard Spider-man opening, Spidey swinging around the city, thinking to himself. Ditko draws spider-man gesturing at the protesters annoyed.
