I’m gonna go on a rant here, cause I want to hear your opinions on this.
Like, I genuinely would have never thought I’d say this about the MCU, the movies I grew up watching, but they’re like LEGIT military propaganda, you know? And I feel like we never realized, (or at least I never did), but this goddamned Captain America movie really hit the fucking fan no?
I know they downplayed the Sabra being A LEGIT MOSSAD AGENT thing and made her ultimately extremely boring, but to me, it’s not an accident ? The whole character arc of her being Captain America’s sidekick, especially NOW, doesn’t it seem deliberate to anyone else, or am I goddamn tweaking?
Let me give you an example on what I’m trying to say. The revolutionaries and whoever dares to challenge the status quo is instantly labeled as a villain.
Killmonger, who was saying WAKANDA WAS HOARDING RESOURCES, WHILE BLACK PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD SUFFERED, and they end up making him a power-hungry dictator-in-the-making.
Flag Smashers, who wanted to help displaced people who got screwed over after the Blip. They are turned into extremists, and even though Cap gives a speech at the end on how he feels so bad, injustice and this and that, it’s basically saying: any movement that fights for the marginalized is almost “too radical” to be sympathetic.
The message across the board is clear:
If you challenge the system, you’re too extreme and must be stopped.
If you work within the system ( Tony, T’Challa, Cap), you’re a true hero.
