What If...?

It was fine. I liked how they managed to wrap it up to a mirrored conclusion that Cap missed out on 70 years.

Some of the voices were off. They made a big deal about having the movie actors, but clearly not Chris Evans

But "swapping the gender makes no difference" is surely a no-brainer in 2021?

We want it to be a no-brainer. But, in the real world, it isn't, yet. So, I can see making the point yet again.

For me, I find it hard to get immersed in animated action scenes. They're too easy!

I think I have a scale:

Animated
Heavily CGI (ie most Marvel flicks)
In-camera stunts (which can be enhanced with CGI but you are seeing what somebody actually did)

I remember you saying you find animation harder to get into.

I have an emotional disconnect with things that aren’t live action too. Stop motion is personally dislike.

But I have a soft spot for the cell shading look they’re using here. It’s probably not too surprising Disney are going to produce high quality animation.

Also I thought the pulp action /Indiana Jones feel worked well in animated form.

Anyone too dumb to have not got the point by now isn't going to get their mind changed by this, and they didn't include any interesting ideas for the rest of us.

Yeah, I know it's a me thing.

It is really important to remember that the issue of sexism has NOTHING to do with level of intelligence.

Cultural norms do not get made or maintained if they are not reinforced. Only two of the MCU films (total 24 films over 13 years) have been led by women, and one became a poster child for misogynistic review-bombing. Empirically, then, it perhaps isn't so much of a no-brainer yet.

But my point still stands irrespective of why people are sexist. They aren't going to get their minds changed by anything. And an interesting plot is still needed irrespective of the gender of the protagonists.

You might not change the mind of someone who is already sexist, but you might just reach someone who is at the crossroads.

OTOH, people can change, given the right context.

I do like the more ruthless approach with captain carter. It will be interesting if she is “more corruptible” in the long run.

im guessing not though. I think it’s more likely they go with “like Steve, Peggy has felt powerless most of her life, being a woman in a mans world. So she possesses similar humility to what Erskine was looking for, but was never considered due to being a woman”

the airplane scene was my favorite.

may least favorite was the shield, as it did feel completely out of left field, but in an animated short your going to have to trim things somewhat

I wonder what the next What if will be, based on the trailers I'm thinking it will be T'Challa as star lord.
