These marvel movies and TV shows are so much better than they need to be.

They are so lovingly made and rewarding to watch.

Just finished watching Black Widow. There’s just too much for me to say in a FB post. The themes and execution are so tight.

Family, sisterhood, fatherhood, male abuse of women, women brain washed to fight each other instead of the men who victimize them, personal narratives… and so much more.

Just wow.

More broadly…

MCU Phase 1: Construct it

MCU Phase 2: Test it

MCU Phase 3: Break it

MCU Phase 4: Deconstruct it

Wandavision, Loki, Black Widow… these are beautiful, intimate character studies that dive so deeply into these wonderful, flawed characters.

These are just supposed to be silly comic book movies.
