🎥 Intersecting Identities: Analyzing "The Invisible War" (2012) Poster 🌟

👩‍🎓 Representation Matters: The solemn gaze of the female soldier in the poster highlights the often overlooked experiences of women in the military. Her presence challenges traditional gender norms and underscores the significance of diverse representation in media.

🔍 Intersectional Lens: The poster prompts viewers to consider the intersectionality of the soldier's identity, recognizing that her experiences are shaped not only by her gender but also by other aspects of her identity, such as race, class, and sexual orientation.

👕 Uniform Symbolism: The soldier's uniform serves as a powerful symbol of her commitment to military service. However, it also raises questions about the challenges and barriers faced by women in male-dominated environments, where gender discrimination and sexual harassment are pervasive issues.

🎗️ Title Design: The white and bold font of the film title, "The Invisible War," draws attention to the urgency and gravity of the subject matter. The use of muted colors, such as green, evokes a sense of somberness and reflects the serious tone of the documentary.

🌌 Blurred Background: The blurred background behind the soldier symbolizes the hidden nature of sexual assault and harassment within the military. It suggests a lack of visibility and accountability, highlighting the systemic failures to address these issues effectively.

🗣️ Amplifying Voices: "The Invisible War" amplifies the voices of survivors and advocates, shedding light on the widespread prevalence of sexual violence in the military and advocating for institutional reform. The poster serves as a visual call to action, urging viewers to confront and challenge systemic injustices.

🌐 Social Impact: Through its intersectional analysis, the poster invites viewers to engage in conversations about the complexities of gender, power, and justice within military institutions. It prompts reflection on the ways in which systemic inequalities intersect and perpetuate harm.

💬 Discussion Prompt: How does the poster's portrayal of the female soldier challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes? What intersections of identity do you see represented, and how do they shape the experiences of women in the military?

Another Ghost Dragon Prompt? Indeed.

The Ward had made a mistake. Had stolen something that had caused the very Skies to lash out, entire worlds at risk from their actions.

Time Itself shrieked in rage at the loss of Its child, or at least that's how every magic user- and the speedsters, pale and shaken and looking sick- had described it.

Someone had taken the young prince of the Infinite, and it was not the Tyrant King, long since sealed away, that lead the charge, but the Queen Regent that many had long since forgotten.

Many forgot that it was not the Dark who courted Time, but Time who courted the Dark. That It was just, if not more so, merciless as Its partner, and would Devour worlds should Its child- still with newdeath soft scales- was not returned.

Which meant that for the heroes, there was now a Clock ticking down ever so quietly. They had to take care of what was a government branch, had to deal with consequences of going over the law, or their World would End in dragon fire.

Sky and Wars knight training

Sky and Warriors... are the knights of the group. As in the ones that are fully trained in battle, and injury in battle.

And it shows

Because Sky and Wars were the first ones to reach and defend Wolfie when he was injured

Wolfie, not Twilight

Because not everyone knew it was him. They didn't all know that that was their brother, and not just a friendly wolf

When Twilight was injured, we instantly saw the faces of those who knew it was him, but none of them could reach him

And so Time asked Wars to, and Wars did

And Sky instantly joined him

But they didn't know, they didn't know it was Twilight

Yet they treated it as any injury in battle, with instant communication and getting him out and cared for 'I don't know if we can get him out yet-' / 'just defend him first!' / 'I'll cover you' / 'we'll take care of him quickly'

And when Sky and Wars did find out it was Twilight, they let Time take Mr. Stubborn to the village, and went back to the battle

"Potions are for the weak"

.

They later share their thoughts on this -they said what their actions had already shown- that they considered any injury an instant priority

It matters so much to me- that the two who were able to reach and help Twilight the most didn't even know it was him, but still treated it as their highest priority in battle. It shows a lot to their character me thinks.

It's really cool! The way they speak and their actions show their training- they have such an instant response in sync that they will get the wounded out.

They are wonderful heroes and knights and I love seeing how that comes out in battle

My personal take on the Denton's greetings.

So, my biggest problem with the MCU multiverse is that they’re using it as a tool to introduce huge characters instead of just working said characters into the MCU naturally. Like, okay, I’m fine with Deadpool and the Fox X-men being done this way; this lets them send that universe out with a bang (a la Deadpool and Wolverine) and leaves the MCU free to introduce 616 versions of the X-men later in a passing of the torch sort of way down the line. But the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Galactus, and possibly Doctor Doom all being variants from another universe who will presumably relocate to 616 at some point? I’m not a fan of it. I feel like the MCU x-men and the fantastic four should be natives of earth 616 instead of dislocated from their home universe.

I also worry that making Doom the villain of Avengers 5-6 as a last minute replacement for Kang would forcibly peak one of the best comic book villains way too soon, and I don’t like that they are basically doing it instead of just recasting Kang, who they have actually been building up over the last few years.

People still being convinced that the Alicent-Rhaenyra feud was because Alicent was jealous/upset that Rhaenyra had sex makes my head hurt, honestly.

Alicent confronted Rhaenyra about the brothel because she was concerned about Rhaenyra and her position. One of their first scenes in Episode 1 was literally a precursor to the Episode 4 scene; Rhaenyra is rather flippant about her political position, not as visibly concerned as Alicent thinks she should be, whilst Alicent is visibly concerned and frustrated that Rhaenyra isn't as engaged or serious about it. It's literally copy-and-paste in terms of the same general mannerisms.

Alicent isn't frustrated or pissed that Rhaenyra had sex. She's aware of the way politics work and the prejudice and consequences that could come from what is rumoured about Rhaenyra. And she goes directly to Rhaenyra to find out the truth and to help her (she even says "I only want to help you").

I also think people forget how the confrontation ended. Rhaenyra and Alicent come to a resolve the problem and Alicent believes Rhaenyra's side of it. Heck, Alicent even verbally emphasises what we were meant to pick up - that it's about the politically ramifications of a princess being seen in a brothel being sexual with her uncle.

And the "green dress moment" is a consequence of several factors.

One, the obvious is that Rhaenyra did not tell Alicent the entire truth and the person she slept with was Criston, not Daemon. Keep in mind that Criston is a member of the Kingsguard, sworn to chastity. Two, the consequences of believing Rhaenyra were pretty steep for Alicent. Her father lost his job inadvertently because of Alicent, meaning that she is pretty much entirely alone at court.

Three, it's a matter of trust and vulnerability. Alicent cared about Rhaenyra enough to go to her and try to get the truth and to help her. She trusted what Rhaenyra said and expressed this to Viserys, taking Rhaenyra's side even when Viserys doubted Rhaenyra. And then it turns out that Rhaenyra was not telling the whole truth and that Viserys also went behind Alicent's back because he believed Rhaenyra did do something.

With her father gone, Alicent is well and truly isolated, especially since she now perceives that she cannot fully trust Rhaenyra or Viserys not to keep things from her or go behind her back.

I think it's also necessary to consider Criston. A member of the Kingsguard who broke his vows with the Princess, showing once again that Rhaenyra is rather unconcerned about the rules and laws of the land and court. I think also the fact that Criston told her the truth but Rhaenyra, someone she trusted and perceived to be a friend, did not.

All of this combined with Otto reminding her of the brutal realities of feudalism no doubt triggered anxieties for Alicent. She has children to think about now and those she thought she could trust are no longer completely trustworthy.

The "green dress" moment is a moment of strength and independence and defiance for Alicent, and a way for her to carve out an identity for herself. Alicent is politically-conscious and she knows she needs support, which is why she turns to the Hightowers in a symbolic and defiant display.

It's not about Alicent being jealous about Rhaenyra having sex or about Alicent being a raving misogynistic "tradwife". It's about trust and politics and Alicent building up a defence to protect herself and her children against any potential threat.
