site posted:i cant believe the dumb need-something-to-be-mad-about-because-its-not-a-manga complaint regarding shield wasnt that homeland wasnt a word the govenment used until post 9/11 That would be a very dumb complaint for someone to make. In our world, "homeland" had too many jingoistic and nazi-ish connotations to be used like that by the government. Up until 9/11, when we decided that jingoistic and nazi-ish was good. But the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes place in an alternate timeline where the US government in general and SHIELD specifically were infiltrated by super nazis after WWII. So it makes sense for them to be saying homeland back even in the 90s. And all that aside, I don't think they ever say what SHIELD stands for in Captain Marvel. It did bug the poo poo out of me when Legends of Tomorrow went back to the 1950s and a local cop used the term "Serial killer", because that term didn't exist in the 1950s. That was a pretty egregious mistake for them to make.

Gripweed posted:I know I'm way late on this, but I finally got around to Captain Marvel. I didn't follow any of the ~discourse~ around it at the time, but I was aware that there was a small but very vocal group of people online who were extremely mad about it. And now, having seen it, I think I know why they were mad and I'm 100% with them This isn't why most of the people "mad about" Captain Marvel were mad, and I think you truly would have had to have buried your head in the sand or been trapped in a cave for years to not glean that the issue was mostly sexism, or rather, that the issue was mostly sexists. There are legitimate issues with the movie (I don't like how cheery it is about the military) but overwhelmingly the driving force behind the online backlash was the organized tantrums of misogynists. I don't know if this post is a bit or what, but come on.

It's really just sometimes Thor (who was dead at the time) and then probably the next most famous hero with a cape was loving Moon Knight or something.

I don't know if this post is a bit or what, but come on. It's kinda funny, I went in expecting Captain Marvel to be another Wonder Woman. A middle of the road, unmemorable superhero movie that internet people said it was either important politics or destroying society because the main character was a woman. But Captain Marvel actually was kinda feminist. At the end, when she defeats the bad guy by refusing to be judged by his standards, that was actually a feminist thing. On the other hand, people online were mad about Captain Marvel because of it's collaboration with the Air Force, and I went in fully expecting that aspect of the movie to be really gross. After the super problematic politics of Black Panther I was totally ready for Captain Marvel to be some gross jingoistic thing where Captain Marvel has to team up with a hero air force pilot to drone bomb some aliens or something. But instead, the Air Force was basically the bad guy. It served two roles in the movie. On a plot level the Air Force's coverup of the disappearance of one of their pilots was an obstacle the characters had to overcome, and on a character level Captain Marvel was in part shaped by overcoming the sexism she faced from literally every level of the Air Force. Like, the Air Force was an antagonist if not an outright bad guy in the movie. So yeah, good movie, better politics than I ever would've expected, actually kinda feminist, but it disregards MCU canon so into the trash bin it goes.

I was going through the AFI Top 100 Films and I have to say if you're going to call a movie The Godfather Part II but you loving don't call the first loving film in the series The Godfather Part I I'm not going to watch your lovely thrown together bullshit, it's just embarassing.

How did any of these people get work after that blunder? I think it's because The Godfather can stand by itself as a singular thing, while The Godfather Part 2 can only exist in relation to The Godfather.

I haven't read Civil War in a long time, but I definitely remember the whole thing feeling like an idea somebody had that they thought would be really cool, but with no thought to how it would actually work in the universe or with the established characters. So "Cape Killers" seems like a good microcosm of that
