      I don't dislike the MCU yet since it reliably puts out movies above 3 stars. Though, I do think the continuity is starting to become very restricting.

      Also, admittedly, Captain Marvel is in the bottom of my rankings, but it's the kind of underwhelming movie where I find the defenses of it more interesting than the criticisms.

      It's apparently a very polarizing movie! I just wish people wouldn't categorize the reason it's polarizing as "shallow feminism" vs "people who are smart enough to see past shallow tokenism"!

      Lindsay Ellis disliked it a lot, but I don't think it's because she's opposed to "identity politics" or thinks representation issues in movies are bullshit!

      And I've said -- a bunch of times -- that trying to introspect, I don't think I like Carol because she's a woman Trying to imagine a different version of this movie in my head, I think I'd even admit that if she were a guy I might have a stronger initial positive reaction

      Because, you know, I'm a guy and I tend to find guys in movies more immediately identifiable "Identity issues" *would* matter, but the important thing to me would be some signal that CM isn't a normative hero, that they're someone who's "not supposed to be there"

      (Am I just someone who kneejerk hates on white guys in movies? Fine, maybe I am, but the white guys can handle it) But my point is the stuff that people legitimately have a problem with -- Carol's lack of struggle, the "narcissism" of the movie's POV -- is exactly what I like

      Like, it's a Mary Sue movie It's *defiantly* a Mary Sue movie, the reason it sticks out so much is it shamelessly, brazenly, nakedly rubs the Sueness in your face It interrupts your critique and shoots you in the face with a blast of Mary Sue energy and arrogantly walks off

      Most modern action movies try to deny this by giving the hero a moment of genuine failure when they need to confront one of their weaknesses and overcome it and admit they were wrong This is why people think Captain Marvel is an inferior MCU movie when in fact it is superior

      Like that's all Captain Marvel is, she's Superman The "point" of the movie is "Hey let's give a Superman to someone who doesn't have a Superman", in this case women But as a man I can still absolutely relate to that need

          Why do all of my heroes have to be flawed and fallible and to struggle and learn and grow and shit Why don't I get a fucking perfect person, a god in human form, who is right about EVERYTHING and succeeds at EVERYTHING and walks right through a hail of bullets with a giddy smile

          More often than people want to admit or recognise, THAT is a HUGE demarcation line for how much someone enjoyed the movie. Personally: I don’t like Superman movies. The obvious parallels turned me off CM in some major respects. But it CAN, on at least one metric, be that simple.

          TBH, the only reason I joined this convo is to comment on the weird condescension going on. Like, I'm not sure I entirely agree with Arthur (Although, I do find his arguments interesting). But the idea that his position alone makes him some naive lib is annoying to me.
