      I don't think all criticism of Captain Marvel is sexist but singling it out for "fake wokeness" out of the other MCU films kind of really really obviously is I mean hate on the MCU as a whole if you want, fine, but it's FAR more subversive than any of the Captain America movies

      Like, Captain America and Black Panther got praised for being more progressive than the other MCU films because *they actually are*, and the writing of the movies as "a Black movie" and "a feminist movie" is absolutely part of why they are

      And the contrarian narrative that no, they suck actually, and movies that don't participate in "woke tokenism" are actually more artistically effective because movies that star white guys always are kind of pisses me off

      Like I actually did in fact really like Winter Soldier and Civil War but Captain Marvel is absolutely a much more committed criticism of American imperialism than Winter Soldier, it isn't even close The critiques of Captain Marvel are WAY MORE TRUE of Winter Soldier

      Winter Soldier has all the characters signing back up with the "good parts" of the US government as a positive thing! It ends with Black Widow giving a little monologue about how as bad as fascism is we'll always need cops and soldiers!

      Captain Marvel ends with Carol flying off into the universe as a goddess, far far away from the Air Force AND the Kree AND SHIELD, swearing that she will never be part of any institution or let anyone give her orders again but follow only her conscience!

      I really don’t get the criticism of CM as military propaganda when it’s actively a plot point that the Air Force refusing to let Carol and Maria fly in combat is why they’re at the testing site where Carol gets her powers.

      The version of the USAF that lets Carol fight in combat and be a badass and "reach her full potential" is the Kree military, and they are the bad guys in the movie

      we are explicitly supposed to draw direct parallels between the jingoism and propoganda of the kree military and the US military, like it's not even a subtle plot point

      It's the least subtle plot point possible! Like the idea that they're meant to be Menacing Foreigners is so damn headass -- they're straight up presented as your Mass Effect squad in the first half of the movie, they're coded as the good guys in every possible way

          They cast Jude Law to play exactly the caring-but-stern father-figure NCO he would be playing if this movie were a science-fiction military heroism movie played straight He's playing the guy who gives you your briefings in a video game

          They never do anything particularly heroic either, the movie isn’t about them.
