It felt way more like a Bond movie than anything, mostly spy and tech stuff with very little in-suit action except for the obligatory paint-by-number final battle. The themes had about as much nuance as a Marvel movie can have, but it was still pretty interesting with hyper-isolationism vs hyper-interventionism. Nothing controversial or risky in there at all though. The follies of traditionalism/nationalism was shown, but also traditionalism had a big part in the victory, and all the good guys remained deeply nationalist. Also multiple good guys were strongly interventionist as individuals, including the American who was somehow a good guy despite doing literally only bad things the entire movie. It's honestly impressive how inoffensive they made the movie given how it's entirely about politics. There was a theme which was way more subtle and nuanced though which I didn't expect (and which I can't relate to at all), which is the idea of ancestral connection and going back to your roots but through the eyes of your new culture. Best exemplified by the bad guy's theme song which was just a generic dramatic Marvel theme but with a sick hip hop beat mixed in. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
