Hello everyone. Today i bring you the Space Mining au masterpost ... this is somehting i planned on doing for a while now, as space mining started becoming more and more fleshed out and my answers to your questions started getting more convoluted. Answered one question created 5 more kind of thing. So here is a timeline i made and a lot of links to different asks explaining even different-er things. Its a lot of loredumping but i tried to make it as clear as possible. Normally its the kind of thing youd learn by reading the story but im not planning on making a comic and i will never write a fic so this is how it has to work. average bartek story treatment

Despite humanity spreading all over the universe in post-space colonisation era, the only other life form ever found was a fungi-like, small organism living in giant colonies, which by their appearance resemble earth minerals. it can be found deep below the surface of different, seemingly unrelated moons and planets, desperately hiding from all forms of light; most of it is long dead, found in its rock-like form. commonly known as sculk, it is the newest and most important discovery in recent human history, although very little is actually known about it. Tango is a former HASA engineer, one of the people who revolutionized space mining, renowned for his work on the nature of sculk, and currently a wanted terrorist on the run, after he blew up a chunk of callisto, one of Jupiters moons, durning an illegal sculk mining operation. Completly unfit for the criminal lifestyle, its a miracle he hasnt been caught yet, especially with many bounty hunters and criminals alike on his tail

I tried to include the absolute most important parts. Doesnt look very well but i hope its at least readable

* Everything starts when Tango blows up a part of callisto. He worked there on a practically illegal sculk mining site; everything was meant to be kept secret, obviously, so when it turned out that the sculk is actually alive, parasitic and infecting everyone at a rapid pace, there was little help they could get. The outbreak was catastrophic but with HASA being a govermnent organisation that set up an illegal mining site not only outside of their controled area, but also in the solar system (which was and still is considered something like a buffer state... in space. At the time of the story lots of people from different places live there because its considered peaceful enough) there is no way they would get involved. So the few remaining survivors chose to blow up the mining site to save themselves. It both did and didnt work as intented, destroying a chunk of the moon and succesfully sealing the cave system, but also killing the remaining miners, with Tango being the sole survivor. Despite being a great asset to the company (he is, despite it all, considered the father of modern space mining), everything that happened was swifly pinned on him, with HASA claiming everything happened behind their back. Tango became a wanted terrorist in one day. An important note about the worldbuilding is that everything is corrupted and not good

More information to be found here. I havent linked every post ive ever made about it, just the ones i think are the most important! every space mining related thing can be found in the space mining au tag. This part will be updated with new information whenever i post it!

The First Avenger was literally about how honorable it is to serve, and the Cap movies weren't critical of the military at all until Winter Soldier, but Steve gets to be the golden boy even in social justice circles, while Carol's being compared to Tony, an actual war profiteer. Captain Marvel deserves criticism, but not any more than the Cap movies, and yet Steve's been around since 2011 and I've never heard a word about it. Just shows how much lower the bar is for movies starring men.

Well, there’s a difference in that because the origin of Captain America is different than that of Captain Marvel. Steve was made  by two Jewish men during the times of the Holocaust and WW2 as a way to motivate anti-nazi ideology, and while you can say that The First Avenger includes pro-US military propaganda the message is clear: nazis are the bad guys. Cap 2, which takes place on our time, is more critical of the military and the us govermnent (and world wide spread corruption). Civil War goes even farther by having Steve disagree with the Accords, so I would say that he’s… pretty clear of being pro-US other than by name.

Carol was part of the military too, but in her case it wasn’t to make a statement about nazism, but to add a reason as to why she loved flying so much + to make a statement about women not being allowed to serve at the time. Having been in the middle of the Cold War and probably knowing what’s going on in other places and the things that the US has done, the crimes it commited, puts her on a completely different position than Steve. Choosing Air Force colors was absolutely, 100% undiluted propaganda. She wasn’t forced into the suit like Steve, she deliberately chose it. She went “the kree are imperialist, so I’m chosing the colors of another nation… like the USA, which is also imperialist, this makes sense and is not completely hypocritical”. 

She is absolutely NOTHING like Tony Stark, though. Tony is a war profiteer who didn’t care about what his weapons did until it directly affected him, and even then he went “well.. I’m over it lol” and created Ultron. Then, he selfishly made all of the Avengers pay for it when he signed the Accords by agreeing to presecute the ones who didn’t comply and being complicit in them being thrown into the Raft. Carol is in no way comparable to him. Comparing Carol and Tony is incredibly unfair when the damage they have caused by their respective actions is so different. She wasn’t even in active combat or anything of the kind, and iirc she was only allowed to fly on very specific occasions and not to active war zones. 

Finally, I think people tend to forget (or are unaware of) that when Hollywood produces a movie that mentions the military or the armed forces, they have direct control of what can or cannot happen in them, what can or cannot be said about them. Whether it’s a “war movie” or something as simple as Pitch Perfect 3. Here is another link talking about this.

So while those scenes with the Air Force are most definitely propaganda,  that’s just a consequence of the USAmerican government being Like That™ and even if Marvel hadn’t wanted those scenes to be there, they’d have to be put somewhere or somehow anyway, specially when such high profile releases offer great opportunity to push that agenda. ~Mod A.
