peoriapeoriawhereartTwo items this time:
(from my own meta)
Thor Ragnarok gets at [deconstructing imperialism/colonialism] in the mythic language of our times, in the CGI effect of Asgard's gilded Just So Story cracking and flaking to reveal the earlier bombast that ran in blood and booty. Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Thor Ragnarok taken together are much like Captain America's Shield in CA:TFA when he's chasing down in the corridors after Red Skull and he flings it to ricochet and lodge into a door closing.
Other than the fx, we could have had Captain Marvel in 1995. That's the bittersweet reality that's not evident to those too young to remember. It's hewing to the rules of then, it's a message in a bottle to who we were. It took so long. It's framed as nostalgia but at the time the world was changing. In Context
(How did Mar-Vel see all those bits of material culture she had brought to her hidden refuge/what do they tell us about Hala/the Kree 'sphere?)
And, a very different tack on a Captain Marvel missing scene:
Carol gets the motorcycle There will be some conservative talking points extracted as context. This is from 2019 and is nearly 16 minutes long. We also get Brie at an award show.
Thought of a GoTG compare contrast:Mar-Vel and the consumer ephemera and the scene where Yondu acquires the gemstone 'troll' that he affixes to his command chair. We don't get a lot of world building economics in MCU in SPAAAACE! but there are crumbs.
