  1.  @mikeoxlong9522  some people complain about the female superhero line up near the end of Endgame but I see that as the Russo Brothers saying to the Captain Marvel team that "we already have female superheroes who are badass, have flaws, and are likable." Scarlet Witches' confrontation with Thanos had far more impact than Cap Karen's did which is why I think the Russo's had her practically punched out of the movie till the end line up at Tony's funeral.

  2. the patch is supposed to represent the patriarchy hampering women and keeping them from their true potential - accidental goddess hood in this case. She's like Spiderman in this case but the difference is Parker became a self-centered jerk and paid the price for his arrogance and grew from this experience. Marvel went from strong to really strong to super strong learning that she's always been awesome. Yay, character development?

  3. exactly! Heroes need to fail and learn so when they succeed it's more satisfying for the audience. This what people who support Mary Rey Palpatine over Luke Skywalker don't get especially when they try to dismiss arguments about Rey being a Mary Sue by saying Luke is one too. In the first film alone, Luke got his ass kicked repeatedly and had to be saved by practically everyone while getting derided for being a farmboy and short. Even blowing up the Death Star he needed Han and R2D2's help. Rey in her first outting beats off attackers, expertly flies the Falcon and is praised for this by Han, uses mind control successfully all by her own, and beats the Darth Vader of her film in her first fight with him in her first lightsaber duel! And the other two films she just got stronger and never really suffered any real defeat to learn from. Boooooooorrring!

  4. One quibble - her first mission is bad idea all around. She should have been fully immersed in what she thinks is her culture and military duties. This would make the fight with her team mates more meaningful rather than guys she's only known for a little while. She's a little too comfortable with her powers limited as they are a little too soon in the story line. Make where she's been doing missions for the Kree for 2-3 years and thus making it harder for her to accept the reality and the Kree's lie.
