Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks, which is why Gina Carano must have done what she did. Warning: obligatory spoilers for the WV episode of this week ahead! Now onwards!
Where to begin? Gina’s situation is simple: as an
individual, and a citizen of America, (USA), she can have her own opinion. As
an employee of Disney/SW, however, she had to cooperate with the bottom line,
because they were paying her. Undoubtedly, I am simplifying the situation, but
Gina, in RL, had a choice: she could toe the party line and have her career set
for her, (and, hey, Disney!), or not and have nothing, which is what has
happened this week, (Feb 10, 2021). Her political views aside, Gina was a
grown-up, and a sane and a rational one, (supposedly), so she knew about
choices and consequences. She made a choice, she is living with the
consequences, and this is it. What is has to do with WV?
Why, the wokeness, of course! Gina’s statement that broke
everything is, apparently, the insipidly stupid message that the Republican
party in the modern U.S. are the new Jews in the new Third Reich. This
comparison is beyond stupid, undoubtedly, but nothing more, and an actor, or an
actress, should be judged by their acting, not their politics… hello, wokeness!
You are being bad.
On the other hand, in WV, wokeness is being good – just look
at what is going on. We got director Hayward, who is…incompetent, rather than
outright evil, but still! A straight Caucasian male being incompetent and
people are getting hurt on his watch! In addition, who is here to save the day?
Monica – an Afro-American woman, Jimmy – an Asian-American man, and Darcy – an Anglo-American
woman. (Cough, Gina Carano, cough). Yay, political correctness! Hooray,
wokeness!
…On the other side of the border, it is still the same, a
Sokovian fortuneteller’s costume or not. Wanda is still the tough one, while
Vision is still the vulnerable one – literally. Beyond the help of Wanda, (and
the Mind Stone? Somehow, the latest trailers imply that this magic rock is not
down for the count yet), he literally cannot exist, even though he is an
inorganic life form or something.
Wanda, for her part, still appears to be the WV’s ‘Big Bad’,
but because of wokeness, and political correctness, she will probably be a
redeemable one, by letting Vision, (and the Mind Stone? It and the Vision were
connected quite literally, remember?), go, and moving on, maybe allying herself
with S.H.I.E.L.D. – I mean, S.W.O.R.D., and captain Monica, who is still trying
to bond with her…oh wait.
Wanda is going to appear, or is supposed to appear, in MCU’s
‘Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness’ film, albeit in an unknown capacity, so
WV might surprise everyone first. I still think that Monica is going to be the
second captain Marvel, or the second Photon, or someone Gifted, but right now,
after this week’s episode, it seems that she might be taking over S.W.O.R.D. from
Hayward instead. Yay! Politically correct justice executed!
The only person so far who wasn’t, or isn’t, associated with
political correctness slash wokeness if Agnes, and so far she is actually
something of a letdown – there’s no indication that she is MCU’s Agatha
Harkness at all. Rather, she might be Jimmy Woo’s missing FBI witness instead.
As for the ‘recast’ Quicksilver…well, it might be that
Vision aside, (and in this week’s episode, Vision was doing his own thing while Wanda was holding court with their
children and Quicksilver), Wanda will be building her family, her ‘house of M’,
(or ‘house of W’ – M’Baku and W’Kabi say hi from MCU’s Wakanda), from the
ground up – Quicksilver is already here, Magneto, (and Polaris?), to go. If
this is the case, and MCU is building its’ mutants from the ground up, (cough,
the upcoming Deadpool 3 movie, cough), then it will be interesting to see as to
how it will all play out throughout the entire MCU phase 4. Anything else?
One more thing. The upcoming ‘Sam Wilson and Bucky’ show was
intended to be played during the second term of Trump’s presidency, as in the
pre-COVID-19 world, the latter was quite likely. But now Trump is out, Biden is
in, and MCU’s Phase 4 components might be losing a bit of their intended sting
now. U.S. is still a formidable country, full of formidable people…who hate to
admit that they are wrong and to apologize, (to forgive is another matter), so there
is that. Biden’s declaration that CPR will be eating U.S.’ lunch is another –
the imagery here, is quite frankly, confusing, so there’s no surprise that the
Western news have begun to downplay it – but that is a different story…
For now, this is it. See you all soon!
