Again, the perspective of 'well all war imagery is cool planes and shooting and bombing and cool us army outfits are all just cool' is the kind of thing you can only come to if you've been fully raised or accepted the idea of military shit as 'cool'.https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1312301861567787008 …

Truffaut's Maxim is meant to be an attack on the depiction of the military in movies -- it was Truffaut advancing the very cynical opinion that you cannot make an anti-war movie because war looks inherently appealing If that's false for you, then that disproves the maxim

I, personally, think it's kind of true but don't 100% believe it I.e. there will always be someone in the audience who watches your movie and takes it the "wrong way" but you can't base everything you do on that guy or you'll never make any movie at all

I.e. I *do* think it's possible to make an anti-war movie and depict combat and war in a way that clearly makes it out to be a bad thing to be avoided, and if there's a guy in the audience who still thinks it's awesome that's his problem

Starship Troopers is almost certainly a better movie to make that argument with than Captain Marvel, sure (But even when Starship Troopers came out you got critics who weirdly missed the point and took points off for the battle scenes being "bad")
