With his announcement as director of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, let's look at how Destin Daniel Cretton proves his skills with Short Term 12.
The Big Picture The revelation that the upcoming team-up film, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, would be helmed by director Destin Daniel Cretton was the rare recent MCU announcement that actually generated anticipation. Cretton has proven his merit as an MCU filmmaker with the success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, one of the rare Phase Four projects that managed to satisfy fans, critics, and audiences in equal measure.
Cretton hints at things from Grace’s past that still haunt her; she’s able to connect with Jayden due to their shared experience with trauma, but it is not initially stated what Grace’s childhood looked like. Grace also expresses her uneasiness about raising a child with her co-supervisor and boyfriend, Mason . The audience is hooked by Grace as a character and takes an interest in the events that molded her, and thus, they get to learn more about the facility in general.
In the opening moments of the film, Grace and Mason welcome a new supervisor, Nate , to their team. Nate isn’t painted as being ignorant or entitled, but it's clear that this is simply a “summer job” for him to gain experience. This is the type of character that could have easily been used purely for expositional purposes, but Cretton shows a maturation within Nate that helps reinforce the importance of what the supervisors’ mission is.
