      I think Captain Marvel did an amazing job of pulling off the trick of making a movie about a perfect person who can do anything and is right about everything, and whose conflict comes from just *not realizing this* because people fooled her into thinking she was less than perfect

      And honestly? I find the sheer defiant self-indulgence of the way the movie plays this trope INCREDIBLY cathartic It was AMAZING how good it felt to see Carol just cut off Yon-Rogg's monologue and walk away, to realize "Oh man she's literally Superman!"

      I mean I have a long-documented desire to see an *actual* Superman movie -- yes, with Superman still being a white guy -- that actually just plain does Superman And a deep resentment of Zack Snyder for thinking Superman needs to be subverted with doubts and darkness and so on

      I got the same pure superhero joy from that scene in Captain Marvel that I did from watching The Tick on Amazon Prime with the Tick (a white guy) doing the "Little men! Little men!' speech So no, I do not think my attachment to this movie is pure feminist ally idpol etc

      And no, it did not give me any impulse to join the Air Force Maybe it hit other people that way, I dunno, can't speak to that To me the mood of the movie was the exact opposite, it was a movie that says "Fuck it just tell your boss he's an ugly prick and quit your job"

      They said their proportion of female vs. male recruits had increased, not that the total number of recruits had increased, and also this is an extension of an ongoing trend (ever since they allowed female combat pilots in the first place)

      No, as I just said, it's not data saying there was actual increased recruitment, just a shift in the gender balance of the recruits

      Not really, because that proportion has been shifting every year since they started allowing female pilots in the first place (when you start from zero you can only go up) This is a pretty basic example of how you build a hype train to take credit for a broad social trend

          Clickbait heading aside, the article even states the increase they're seeing isn't outside the normal trend (which has been mostly a slight increase every year since the 70's). If anything, this huge recruitment drive off the back of the movie seems to have been a big failure.
