And also because she was a white American so it would have been distasteful? Again, anyone pointing out that the movie using feminism to leverage for US military recrutiment isn't same as people who think that women onscreen is the end of cinema. It's disingeous to pretend so.
And that within the confines of what they were realistically allowed to do was *much* more negative about US militarism than the typical MCU movie (or typical modern action movie), and dealt with those themes a lot better than movies that got high praise for the same stuff

Like, again, my take is "Winter Soldier and Captain Marvel were both badly hamstrung by the circumstances of their creation and couldn't be truly critical anti-war movies, but Captain Marvel's critique is much better than Winter Soldier's" I don't think it's that hot a take

And yet it's an IMMENSELY controversial take, with people all over the Internet ready to jump on you for it Again, I seriously do not believe we would be talking about this if I just said "Yeah, Captain America's an example of a reluctant military hero, remember Winter Soldier"
