Okay, so that's just Truffaut's Maxim -- you can't ever really make an antiwar movie because war looks inherently cool There are people who unironically stan the Mobile Infantry in Verhoeven's Starship Troopers and wish they could join it, the satire is totally lost on them

And fine, those people are real and they matter and they vote and we have to live with the fact that that's a valid criticism of that movie or any movie about war But it's still absurd to say this proves what the movie is "really about"

Pretending like what's honestly an almost-TOO-obvious anti-authority script just doesn't exist because the real-life ties to the USAF automatically override it is also pretty disingenuous

literally this is a movie that mashes up retro top gun imagery with the rah rah war on terror and then the whole first two thirds of the film are revealed to be pro-kree propoganda, carol has been lied to by the military about EVERYTHING from her past to the nature of the skrulls

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
