Anyone remember Sound of Freedom?
I never forgot.

One of my favorite series, btw.
Perhaps a bit derivative and edgy.... but haunting in all the right places

Yeah, that was the shit I've been begging for since Season 1's episode where they go into Ivy's mind. She has a lot of resolved shit and hasn't yet been challenged in the ways Harley has (mostly because of her refusal to confront things).....
Now we're here. And shit is getting real.

- only to then directly involve us in what may be a pivotal, series-defining moment.... by straight up looking the audience dead in the eyes as they twist the knife that has just been brutally lodged in our hearts and gently whisper "Fuck. You."
This may be one of my favorite moments in television.

Also..... if I'm not mistaken the German government and constitutional lawwas entirely dismantled in like under 2 months.
We just passed the first month if this new administration. Clock is ticking.

This only gives me more reason to be cautious of who I associate with.
Again, it must be reiterated. Just because someone in trans doesn't automatically make them a better/more enlightened person. Being shitty humans is an equal opportunity thing.

I can trust in the original intent being more of the same because that's what the MCU has always done.

This is why I've generally shut up on the whole front, because while I'm critical of the Israeli government and the dehumanization and massacre of Palestinians has been horrific.... the general public has no clue how to effectively protest it or capacity to understand the nuances.

Not to mention that the character has been entirely sanitized in the film (as the MCU usually does) and stripped of almost all of that aside from her being born in Israel and is never even called that name.
Ultimately this was nothing and an artificial distraction from the real issues.

Shira Haas has literally protested the far-right government in Israel and the path it's going down. Her voluntary service was in theater, nothing else... not that that matters to protesters because the plot has been lost entirely.
Also the comic character is named that because it's a criticism.

An alternative would be going a different direction of Sam going toe to toe with Frank Castle...... the retribution of America's failed and forgotten men left behind. There's actually a lot to support that confrontation.

Still a more clear and concise film than whatever Civil War is tho.... Brave New World is at least focused on Cap and not getting lost in 5 different subplots while losing sight of any of the actual commentary set firmly on the table.

- a messy movie that got a little away from the director because of conflicting ideas, but still managing to keep a watchable, thematically sound movie relatively in tact. The bad stuff is just an unfortunate side effect of Marvel's typical haphazard production style.

There's intent with propaganda. You don't accidentally Scooby-Doo tumble your way into that through a messy production that didn't even know the political moment we would be in right now.
..... Cynical, insincere discourse like this in leftist spaces is a big reason why we get tuned out so much.
