Agents of SJW: Recent Episodes
Rylee Miller
A movie by movie review series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films through social justice lenses, discussing political issues such as gender and race as depicted in the films.
The Agents tackle the fifth MCU film, 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger. Topics include Peggy Carter as a feminist figure, racial tokenism, and how well Hydra represents Nazism in WWII.
The Agents tackle 2011's Thor with many thoughts on the depictions of Asgardian imperialism, female characters, and race. Note that this was recorded as WandaVision was being released, so its development of Darcy is not discussed.
The Agents tackle the second MCU film and the only solo Hulk film, 2008's The Incredible Hulk.
The Agents start off their podcast with a critical look at the film that started it all, 2008's Iron Man. At first, it may seem like a standard gung-ho American action movie, but it has a subversive undercurrent that must not be discounted.
