Arthur's made it clear he doesn't care as long as he can fanboy sqeual over a white woman punching someone. As long as fans are getting cool moments or film buffs get to 'feel something' All criticism goes out the window. It's fanchud behavior dressed up as progressive politics.

Yes I said that very plainly I watched the movie primarily as a movie and judged it based on my reaction to it I even said it wasn't even a feminist reaction and is a reaction I could've had to a male character Sorry to disappoint you

I mean, I'll live, it's just amazing to see you deflect or deny any criticsm from that perspective purely so you can do the very fanboy thing about ranting about how it made you feel in a conversation about it's use as a propganda tool.

It's why you went from arguing about how 'effective' it was by deflecting into how it made you feel and that you just want 'one pure thing'.

Yes, because I have not drawn a moral line that any possible use of a movie as a recruiting tool means I can't enjoy the movie on a deontological level If I did I just couldn't watch most action movies I already don't particularly watch many of them, but I really liked this one

If that makes me a shitty person, oh well It's not even close to the worst thing about me, I guess I'll have to live with it But I do continue to think there's special pleading going on here to argue that Captain Marvel is *especially bad* in that respect

Like this guy is out here saying that he thinks the whole MCU is pro-war propaganda but the Captain America films are in his view better than Captain Marvel when they are clearly worse

Or like, shit, saying The Phil Silvers Show was more anti-authoritarian than this movie -- because it's about officers being assholes who are always hassling you, I guess, and that's more anti-authority than a movie whose hero moment is *shooting* your commanding officer

Saying that a given work of fiction is unrealistic about how easily authority can be resisted and defeated is not the same thing as talking about how "meaningfully anti-authority" it is

We could argue all day about whether there's much evidence there's any media that's "successful resistance" at all, but it's been discussed to death that comedies that show an unpleasant feature of society as an amusing fact of life we can all relate to tend to sap resistance

Turning something into a joke is much more often a conscious strategy to emotionally accept something and live with it than to gather the energy to change it That's *literally how people describe comedy* -- "find a way to laugh about it"
