Awesome analysis!
That’s deep you deserve a hell lot more likes
Silco was the best father for Jinx. Unfortunately what Powder needed was the best father for Powder, not someone who would push her deeper into the well of mental illness until she came out Jinx on the other end. Powder probably would have been better off as a street urchin hoping to be taken in by a random person.
He is confident, smart, always prepare backup plans, can do anything to save team and earth, learns from his mistake...... that's why he's is beloved.
No, no, no. What you mostly describe is his Alter Ego, not the original personality. The traits like "narcissism", "inflated ego" and "indifference" are the Alter Ego's characteristics. Tony himself is not a narcissist and has low self-esteem and self-confidence. To compensate this he created this Alter Ego of a showman, which is his father's public personality as well. I'd like to show you and discuss this, because it's a common misconception.
Are u really a therapist?! Silco was terrible for her!
I have responded to your comment just now, thank you for your feedback!
I disagree with you completely. Silco understood what Vander did after becoming father to Jinx.
Hi, thank you for your feedback! It is totally okay to have different perspectives on this. The main point I was trying to make was that Silco was the 'perfect' father for Jinx because there was no one else available at the time. It doesn't mean he was a perfect father by any means, and I do not condone the ways in which he was abusive or manipulative (although these weren't the main points addressed in the video). From an attachment perspective, I believe Powder may have died if Silco didn't save her and become her adoptive parent. I hope this gives you more clarity in terms of where I stand. And yes, I am a licensed therapist practicing in BC, Canada. :) Hope you have a wonderful day!
3:44: i will say silco had that face: how can such a little girl make so much damage = PEFECT WEPON FOR ME !
I just wanna say that this video deserves much more views.
You are so kind, thank you! ☺️
😪 P r o m o s m
Thank you so much this helped a lot
Aweh I'm so so happy to hear that this was helpful for you! 🥹❤️ Wishing you all the best in your healing journey!
I also think loosing her parents at such a young age had a huge affect in Wanda. She seem to want to find that paternal influence in people like Clint and Steve sort of, but it never stuck. She never had that influence as she grew up and that effected her personality I think. She never had that firm foundation, and it only shook more when her brother and vision died. I think that is what Wanda needs now, a parent figure.
Yeahh I hear you. The death of a parent is deeply traumatic and impactful for a child, especially at such a young age. Wanda's story is both heartbreaking and tragic. :(
My life is very much like Wanda’s. Losses and more losses even from a young age till now.
aw I'm so so sorry to hear that. 😭It is truly heartbreaking to experience so much loss in life.
I find the video essay starts well, stumbles when it detours into the character of Joe from some other series
thank you for your feedback!! :)
Remember, moral is not something based on science its your opinions.
This was excellent, and I totally agree. Most ppl only see the financial in black and white but his and her characters are much much deeper. It's very touching and tragic but is imo the most heart warming part of the series. The most important part I feel is that Silco gave Jinx validation, he valued her over everything else including his freedom and his nation of Zaun
Yes I feel you!! Jinx and Silco are both tragic, empathetic characters. Empathetic in the sense that we can connect with their suffering personally. I agree with you in that it isn't always about the black and white, and that there is so much more to Silco and Jinx's relationship than "all the bad things they did." I believe that Silco loved Jinx with all his heart...even though his love came from a place of deep brokenness. That's the part I find most tragic and touching. 🥹💔
I also believe that Silco saw in Jinx him self, someone who was abandoned for doing what they thought was right and being punished. Both being left in similar situations, betrayed by the ones they trusted the most, ofc Vi's account she never actually abandoned powder but had a higher priority then her, like her moral duty and a sense of justice. All powder/Jinx ever really wanted was acknowledgement which Silco, coming from a similar background, gave her. It's funny, looking back at the show. Although Jinx and Silco were clearly villains, I almost feel like they weren't the worst, in regards to Piltover and their high and mighty society. So, who was the true villains we gotta ask our selves. Those that faught for a povertous Nation oppressed by middle/higher class citizens and maybe went about in a very violent and destuctive way or, those that seek to better their own city regardless of the rule. After all, Royce attacked Zaun before they did :) Food for thought @@therapywithrainbow
Charisma is a huge reason why Tony Stark is so beloved. Take the Joker from The Dark Knight as an example, he doesn’t have a conscious or any inner struggle for us to connect to. He’s a fantastic character because he’s got a show stealing personality. He’s loud and confident, intelligent, and funny. Those are reasons why characters like Tony Stark, Joker, Loki, Sherlock Holmes, etc. are so popular.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I think you brought up an interesting point about charisma, and I do agree with you that Stark has a charismatic personality. It makes me wonder, how does someone become charismatic? Or like, what does it mean to have charisma? I think some qualities that might describe a charismatic person include the ability to capture attention, express emotions and moral convictions, as well as use body language and nonverbal cues to communicate effectively. So I think the characters you brought up draw our attention not only because they're charismatic, but also because underneath their charisma, is an ability to connect emotionally and meaningfully with the audience. That goes back to my point in the video, where conscience is almost like a prerequisite to having a deep capacity to feel and express how we feel. Without a conscience rooted in misbeliefs and internal conflicts, it might be difficult to connect with a character meaningfully.
Joker is a fantastic character, until you met him im real life. What the video shows is Tony Stark protrayed as how a normal smart billionaire in the real world will behave, yet we still love him because of the reason mentioned. I love Joker too, but only in the movie world. If i am to meet him in the real world, i will be Batman instantly.
@FbodzRyuji Haha I feel you too!! If we were to meet a rich, arrogant, and self-absorbed billionaire...chances are, we would probably find them unlikable. But if we see that they have qualities that go beyond who they appear to be, then it might be easier to actually connect with them meaningfully. 😅
@@therapywithrainbow imagine Elon Musk is a Tony Stark, and he is doing everything to make sure everyone has a safe home, he will be more likeable. But if Elon Musk is a Joker and out to destroy everything just for fun, no matter how charismatic he is, i will want to bring him into justice. Hahaha
@FbodzRyuji oh my goodness this is such a fitting analogy I love it. 😂
As human beings, conscience allows us to feel emotions. That's totally true. Thanks for your wonderful video. Keep up your good work and hope you can achieve 1000 subscribers!
Aww thank you for watching my video and leaving such a kind comment! Your support means the world☺
What do you love about Iron Man? How did you become a fan? 🤗
Wonderful video, masterfully explained.
Thanks so much!! Means the world 😄
great video as always!
aww thank you so much my friend! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it! ☺
I honestly hated Mylo more than Silco.. I can't stand bullies.. and Silco is a more supportive father than many men can say they are.
I think one thing that is important to remember, is that the environment that they live in, if you are born into a war, and your parents teach you how to fight and kill, they are not being abusive, they are trying to help you, if you are born into normal modern society and your parents teach you how to kill, then there is sth wrong... it all depends on the situation. We cannot judge people that are pushed to a corner from thw luxury of our own life. Silco tried his best to prepare Jinx for the reality of their environment based on her abilities and personalities as well as his own. So was he a good dad based on OUR standards? Nope! Was he a good dad based on the situation he was given? I think so. He was also talented in being a dad, how he managed to calm down Jinx after her experience to the degree that she would be able to learn and focus so much on her skills... is amazing really.
I think there's another reason Isabela is angry with Mirabel. While Mirabel is jealous of the attention Isabela gets from the town, the family and especially Abuela Alma, Isabela is jealous of the attention and love Mirabel gets from their parents, Julietta and Augustin. Isabela is trapped in being perfect and working so hard to please everyone, but it's Mirabel that gets the encouragement and attention from their parents. She can't do anything right (from Isabela's perspective) but still gets that love, AND she gets to do whatever she wants. I may be projecting a little bit (or a lot) because that's exactly what happened in my family, but I only found that out as an adult when I had a conversation with my sibling. It does seem like a reasonable explanation for why Isabela is so hostile towards Mirabel though.
I've watched countless reactions to Encanto because it's my favorite movie. I love this breakdown because it's so insightful. I've been going back and forth between Dolores being a secret keeper and a gossip, turns out she's both! I thought she ruined Isabela's proposal on purpose because she knew Isabela didn't want to marry Mariano and that she was in love with him herself. But taking onboard your insight, seeing the look on her face when she's staring down Mirabel, that's not a calculated look, that's panic. Just as one example.
"Love and abuse can co-exist, gratitude and resentment can co-exist". That's a reality and always happens in the family. There are a lot of reflections from this video. Thank you for your great video.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and appreciated my reflections! Thank you for supporting me in my work!!! 😄It means the world!
This is amazing, this basically sums up my life, my parents used to scold me, have never beaten but are seriously strict, they wanted me to become a doctor too, and I was interested initially because biology is my favourite subject till date, but I really wanted to do CS engineering in game development and vfx/sfx, and they really let me. Now when I'm an adult, I realize why they were so strict, never had fun with me, etc, because they didn't want to spoil me and I'm their only child, and am more than thankful to them for being strict, today, whatever I am, it's because of their hard work and as you said, the love and hate relationship, and it's heart breaking to hear that you went through some rough times too, but I hope it's all good now and remember we are always here for you, for each other.
Ahh it sounds like you went through some difficult times with your parents! I can't imagine the kind of pressure you felt being the only child. You had to carry your parents' hopes and dreams, but also a share of their disappointments. That's very hard on a child. But I'm so glad that you're still able to feel their love for you and appreciate everything they've done. I see that you're willing to empathize with them and understand where your parents were coming from (without sugarcoating the ways they've hurt you). It's definitely not easy to hold both depths of gratitude and resentment, all at once. Thank you so much for sharing your story! 😄
I love that you are willing to shed light on the topic of abuse and its coexistence with love - or what certain parents interpret as love. It must have not been easy for you as someone who has undergone said abuse. Thank you for your vulnerability.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words!! This video is unique because I feel personally connected to it. I'm glad you appreciate what I wanted to share!! ☺
Great breakdown and thanks for covering this topic, I love your videos!!
Aww thank youu soo much, my friend!! Your kindness means the world! 😄
@@therapywithrainbow 🫶keep up the great work!
i don’t understand why people continue to try to defend his actions or say he “tired his best” when he’s literally a manipulative and abusive groomer 😭 more than that, i don’t understand how therapists continue to miss it. are they even paying attention? you’d think they’d be able to pick up on such obvious and in-your-face abuse 😭. not to mention, the writers or creators confirmed that silco was aware he was manipulating jinx, so there’s really no excuse to continue to defend or deny. it’s just so weird
Hi, thank you for your feedback! It is totally okay to have different perspectives on this. The main point I was trying to make was that Silco was the 'perfect' father for Jinx because there was no one else available at the time. It doesn't mean he was a perfect father by any means, and I do not condone the ways in which he was abusive or manipulative (although these weren't the main points addressed in the video).

Sorry for the super late reply! Hope you enjoy the rest of your day. :')
Jinx ended up accepting herself as Jinx when Silco showed that even when killed on accident he doesn't care about dying he cares about Jinx's wellbeing and tells her that she's perfect. It broke Jinx's her heart to hear how through it all he never once treated her like Vi did. And that's why Jinx said it was Vi who made Jinx not Silco or the others when she was at her lowest Vi punched her so hard she started bleeding from her nose and when Vi saw what she did she felt horrible and walked out because she couldn't think straight anymore she lost so much and couldn't process it all she wanted to go back to Jinx to apologize but that's where she got abducted and taken to prison. Vi's guilt must have eaten her alive all this time. So unfortunate for both sisters.
Silco’s Arc. Master manipulator to doting father. The voice acting was perfect. It made me cry for Silco.❤❤❤
That’s a lot of responsibility and blame to lay upon Vi who is also a child. Id have to correct your “it is a very traumatic moment for powder” I’d argue it is equally traumatic for Vi as it is for powder, she was in the explosion witnessing her friends and own fathers deaths after all, it shouldn’t be on Vi to tread carefully around someone else’s fears and trauma when she has her own to deal with in that moment.
It's not that I disagree with the psychology of what you're saying here re: Wanda channeling 'positive' actions via her trauma. The problem I have is that I don't think the show/movies have done a good job properly conveying the rawness of her mental state.
Characters who probably shouldn’t be taking care of children having to basically become a parent is such a fun thing to see/read. The only other time I’ve seen this is somehow both better and worse: an affably evil scientist/demon of wrath transforms into an octopus and watching over a small girl. Granted, the girl later goes on to be an assassin and a dictator, but still. Oh, yeah, she also nukes the world and has to help save it.
What story is this??? It seems so interesting
Wanda has always been an Anti villain.
Looks like you didn't understand her character
Everything is fine but silco understands vander's weakness when he talks to his statue
The way I see it, if you look at Jinx as a character and look back and try to put together a past for her, Silco was just about the best dad she could've got. Enough space to go wild, enough leeway to run wild, finances, training and a streak for illegal activities. Someone who provided all that and also gave her ample amounts of much needed validation as she grew up into a fine young woman.
He was all she had!! I do believe that Jinx survived because of Silco.
Wait... a therapist? Like... an official one, with a degree? How old are you, if I may ask? As for Silco: there is no doubt he loves her, but if he's the "perfect father" for her... is highly doubtful. Only in the context of having a toxic sort of mutual bond, mayhaps. Let's also not forget he lied his azz off and tried to kill her sister, just out of fear he would loose her; but isn't it the duty of a parent to let go at a certain point, instead of trying to control the lives of your children? He was clearly also manipulating her to a high degree. So...she could have fared worse, granted, like with a non-loving and far more abusing father, but she could have fared better as well - like if Vander would still have been alive and taken care of her. Loving someone and being fit to raise someone, are two different things. While you can't have the latter without the former, but vice versa is perfectly possible. So I don't agree with those that claim Silco doesn't lover her and only manipulates her: he clearly does, BUT he also manipulates her and tries to psychologically restrict her (to him). that's why he's a great villain: he's clearly evil, but he isn't ALL evil. He does fatherly things, true, but he also does things that doesn't benefit the growth of his daughter.
Yes, I'm a therapist with a masters degree in counselling. I've worked with individuals, couples, and families. 😅 I wouldn't say I'm a 'seasoned' therapist though because I'm only in my mid-20's. This channel is my creative outlet and gives me the opportunity to explore my areas of interests. ☺
As for your comment on Silco & Jinx: I think we can all agree that Silco did not have the best morals and he also couldn't fully embrace Jinx's weaknesses and vulnerabilities (even though he had good intentions to protect her in that way). I think this is because Silco never accepted his own weaknesses to begin with, which would explain why he would condemn the "weaknesses" in others (Jinx, Vander, etc.). He failed to recognize that these so-called "weaknesses" can actually be strengths. That real strength isn't about overpowering others. I love Silco and Jinx's relationship not because it's perfect or necessarily "healthy," (like what you mentioned about his manipulative nature), but because they needed each other- or better or for worse. Silco found his humanity through Jinx, and Jinx learned to accept the darker parts of herself because of Silco. In terms of parenting, both Silco and Vi had their share of blind spots. Vi wanted to shield Jinx from the darkness and brokenness of their world (and to keep her safe). But what Jinx also needed was Vi's companionship and sacrifice. And Silco met Jinx in the ways that Vi couldn't. Vi couldn't forsake the people she loved, whereas, Silco loved nobody but Jinx. So his sacrifice ultimately led Jinx to believe that "Jinx is perfect and worthy of sacrifice." But, that was also the moment where Powder really "died." I feel like the most heartbreaking part is that both Vi and Silco tried their best to love Jinx, but they couldn't see that both Powder and Jinx were 'perfect'. There are no perfect parents, but I personally believe that Silco was "perfect" for Jinx because she had no one else left to raise her. She survived because Silco adopted her. I really feel like he tried his best as a father, but unfortunately he didn't have the tools, resources, and self-awareness to guide Jinx. He was a broken man with a broken past. And he couldn't help Jinx heal from her trauma because Silco never dealt with his own traumas. It's like saying the blind can't lead the blind. Our relationships can only be as "healthy" as we are. Healthy people have healthy relationships. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for Silco and Jinx, but it also doesn't take away our love for them!!
@@therapywithrainbow Just asking because you seemed awfully young. I was thinking between 17-20, which would be too young to have a masters... but well, some people look younger than they are. Will come in handy in ten years. ;-)
@@therapywithrainbow Thanx for the elaborate answer; it's much appreciated. I think we largely agree with each other, then. I think the point that Silco needed Jinx to regain some of his humanity is more correct than vice versa, though. Jinx found an anchor in Silco, agreed, but only because she didn't have anyone else around. Silco did his best at parenting and being "fatherly", true, but it clearly had also it's toxic side, and one can't really call their relationship "healthy" in any normal sense. she probably would have fared better under Vander, and her trauma's being better taken care off; it's clear she has severe mental problems, and I don't have the impression Silco did much about that. so, it is, indeed, a mixed bag. They *sort of* were a good match, and at the same time, they weren't. He needed her, and she needed him, and he was manipulative at times, and fatherly at others. I guess, this is what makes it a great show. It's without a doubt he loved her, and vice versa, so people not even recognizing that, didn't really watch the series well. ;-) Only, for raising a child well, love is essential, but *not enough*.
Was so interesting to me how relatable the Silco became as the series progressed and that the viewer almost doesn't want him to die. Loved your analysis of what made Silco tick.
Aww thank you for such a kind comment!! :') Yuups, Silco is such a well-written character with internal conflicts that we can relate to. A heartbreaking yet beautiful story 😭
I want him to come back in some form D:
Silco was a bad guy but a pretty okay dad 🥲
Yeahh he did soo many bad things, but he still managed to capture our hearts. 😭 Silco genuinely loved Jinx, and even tho he wasn't a perfect dad, I think he really did try his best. 🥲
A very interesting point. Although I would argue that it feels like Silco also didn't fully accept Jinx, because he rejected the part of her that was "weak" and the part that Vi spoke to. I love Silco-Jinx relationship, because it shows that everyone deserves love, and that parent's love directly influences child's self worth. Vi's approach to Jinx was radical, because she didn't accept the bad parts of her sister, wanted to do nothing with them, and was willing to teach Jinx lessons kind of harshly, in order for Jinx to grow up good. Silco accepted the bad part of Jinx and showed her that there was nothing wrong with who she was. But the best parent for Jinx would probably be someone who could love Jinx the way Silco did and at the same time teach her good morals
I love where you're coming from!! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and insights!!! And I totally agree haha, Silco did not have the best morals and he also couldn't fully embrace Jinx's weaknesses and vulnerabilities (even though he had good intentions to protect her in that way). I think this is because Silco never accepted his own weaknesses to begin with, which would explain why he would condemn the "weaknesses" in others (Jinx, Vander, etc.).

I love Silco and Jinx's relationship not because it's perfect or necessarily "healthy," but because they needed each other (for better or for worse). Silco found his humanity through Jinx.

I feel like the most heartbreaking part is that both Vi and Silco tried their best to love Jinx, but they couldn't see that both Powder and Jinx were 'perfect'. 😭
@RainbowWong Yes, they both failed Jinx, because both refused to embrace her fully. Although Silco gave her more than Vi could, which is his unconditional love, so Jinx chose her 'dark side' in the end. They both needed each other, you're right, but I think their love is actually what led them to their mutual moral downfall. Maybe it would've been better if they never met, honestly. For Silco Jinx became a light of his life, but for Jinx Silco was only a part of what she needed, since he couldn't help her deal with her good side, which is somewhere there still. I wonder what will happen in S2 to Jinx' character? Will she reconsider her choice to be bad or will she be ruled by hatred, jealousy still? I think it's the second option since she sent a rocket to the parliament, and to Vi she did something irredeemable again. Plus, Vi has Caitlyn at her side, which makes Jinx' hatred for her even deeper. What do you think? And thanks for the video
@@alext-rex5492 I loved when you said, "their love is actually what led them to their mutual moral downfall." Such a tragic but beautiful way to articulate what happened in their relationship. I think you're absolutely right. Silco and Jinx genuinely loved each other but I don't think their love was built on a firm foundation. As in, their love wasn't grounded on "truth." Like, what does it mean to actually love someone? What is true about love? I don't think Silco and Jinx really understood what it meant to truly love. They tried to love each other, but they didn't love each other well. As for S2, I anticipate that Jinx could become the next villain, like Silco. But I feel like a redemptive arc is also possible for the sake of 'character development.' So maybe Jinx will get darker initially, and then something significant happens in her life that might alter her path in a positive way. Haha I honestly don't know. But I'm excited for sure!!
If you think that Silco didn't accept Jinx's "weak" side as well, I want you to explain the drawings on nearly every square inch of his office, and the mannequins and old connections to her life that litter Jinx's bedroom that Silco is clearly aware of. There's a difference between a father wanting their child to make a certain choice, and a father "rejecting" the other side of them. Silco wants Jinx to be strong, but more than this - he truly understands that she *is* strong and wants her to see it for herself.
@ShadowKain666 you didn't see a scene at the river where Silco literally told Jinx that he destroyed his weaker side one day, submerged himself into the water and did the same with Jinx later on? You really didn't catch up the meaning of this scene or it was too hard of a concept?
Arcane is one of the greatest things in my life.
Yess we love Arcane!!! 🥹❤️❤️❤️
I'm obsessed with Arcane and I think the relationship between Silco and Jinx is so intresting and one of my favourite father daughter relationships in media.
Totally!! I loved seeing Jinx and Silco's relationship develop throughout Arcane. Their time together is full of love and heartbreak, but it's also what makes their connection unique and beautiful. :') Thank you for stopping by, chloe! ☺
@Rainbow Wong yeah. Your videos are great to watch. I kin jinx and I cried when silco died 😅
@chloe awww thank you so much Chloe!! ❤️❤️ And yeahh, Silco's death broke my heart too 😭
I love arcane! I’m so excited that you’re doing it (:
aww thank you so much my friend!! It's taking me a while but I'm soo happy to know that you love arcane and that you enjoy my videos!! 🥰❤ Truly means the world!!!
As a person who's never a fan of Captain Marvel and thought the film was one of the weakest in the MCU (Dark World is the worst in the MCU) You definitely gave me a good understanding how she's the way she is I still ain't a fan of her But seeing this makes me realize that the Captain Marvel film isn't as bad as I remember, and the problems regarding the film and character are a lot more on circumstances against them. - the film came and the character was introduced RIGHT before Endgame, basically Captain Marvel was introduced right when the Infinity Saga was ending and given how the the film simply looked like it merely planted the seed for Captain Marvel to begin growing in the same way the rest of the other MCU characters grow throughout the series, we aren't able to really fully connect with her and it doesn't help that the post credit scenes portrayed her being such an integral character for Endgame when she ONLY appeared in the beginning and end of Endgame, she was never involve in the time heist at all. Captain Marvel should've been introduced in Phase 2 (there was even a deleted scene where the ending of Age of Ultron, Captain Marvel was one of the new Avengers members. Though it was understandable it was cut since they still were figuring out how they'd introduced her. But nevertheless, her character should've had at least 2 solo films of her own before Infinity War so she'd properly garner more interest so people will be able to grow with her no matter what. Thor had an ok start and a disappointing sequel, but people still love Thor (though it can also be because of Ragnarok), so this would've been the case for Carol. So in short, they shouldn't have introduced her very late into the Infinity Saga. - the film also came out AFTER Ghostbusters 2016, so given the reputation and impression Ghostbusters 2016, it's pretty much where the whole "go woke go broke" BS started kicking in. The Last Jedi also suffered from the repercussions of Ghostbusters 2016 (which btw I also am VERY CRITICAL about The Last Jedi and not a big fan of Rey AT ALL). So given the whole sensitive and controversial reputation regarding "strong female characters" (which now by this point this "controversy" has evolved into stupidity cause now we pretty much complain of the Dead Space game remake having gender neutral bathrooms and the ladies "not looking pretty". Which btw if you decide to check on Dead Space, please be my guest. You'll have a wonderful field trip delving into the psychology that revolves around Dead Space and the lore in the video game series), Carol Danvers as well as Brie Larson has unfortunately fallen victim to unwarranted hate. You can only imagine how many grifting and anti-SJW videos kept using Brie Larson's face for whatever BS non-sense about "woke agenda" videos, seriously culture war is the most toxic and worst thing to ever exist of all time. So again, while she isn't one of the most compelling characters in the MCU and not a character everyone can really relate or hook with, Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel has room to grow and be able to flourish as a character. It's also especially that Brie Larson actually is a pretty good actor, just didn't really shine in her MCU debut film, so hopefully she will let her acting skills be more utilized. The Marvels should be a really great chance to allow Carol truly shine and grow as a character, especially with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel joining her in the film. We don't entirely know the whole premise of The Marvels outside of the fact that Carol, Monica, and Kamala are swapping places every time one of them uses their powers, in fact the whole "power-swapping" gimmick for The Marvels have great potential for the 3 characters, especially if my idea is true: we get to see the world's perspective of Captain Marvel, with Monica and Kamala representing the 2 sides of the world's perspective: one where the world sees Captain Marvel as a flawless hero to look up to, with Kamala representing that side cause she is a superhero fangirl and a big Captain Marvel fan, & one where the world isn't really fond of Captain Marvel cause where was she this whole time when Thanos invaded and snapped half the universe out of existence as well as all the calamitic events that had happened like the Battle of New York and the Ultron Offensive that destroyed the entire country of Sokovia, with Monica representing that side cause she's resentful of Carol because of her long absence (if you look back in WandaVision when Jimmy Woo brought up and argue that Carol Danvers is the most powerful Avenger, Monica didn't really look happy hearing about Carol and simply shuts everyone up to focus back on Wanda. It's a very unusual behavior given when Monica was a kid, she was in awe and adore Carol and Monica even pushed her mother Maria to go with Carol and save the day with her. So to see her not be excited hearing about Carol back in WandaVision should be saying something about how she's currently feeling about Carol), Monica was among the victims of the Blip and had lost her mother just when she thought her mother is saved from cancer and given how Carol was too busy dealing with so many problems happening in the universe as the universe was in anarchy following Thanos's Snap, Carol was not there for Monica (Carol probably was there for Maria when she passed, but Monica was still dusted that time and Carol, again, was a VERY BUSY person), so there's understandable bitterness and resentful feelings coming from Monica when she heard Jimmy talking about Carol. Nevertheless, I hope The Marvels (even though I'll only see it for Monica and Kamala / Ms. Marvel) will REALLY allow Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel to flourish as a character. Otherwise I'd actually feel sad and upset, I wouldn't want that to give ammo to the haters at all and that's coming from me who's never really into Captain Marvel.

After slapping Powder, Vi looks at the blood on her hands (the wrappings). At this moment, she realizes what Vander had told her about it all being "on her" as a leader. She has to step away from Powder to deal with that new realization, as well as all of the other traumatic events that just happened. Nice video.
