PUZZLE #379: Lucky Sevens 11

PUZZLE #379
LUCKY SEVENS 11

One of the clues in this puzzle contains a word suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!

Stacked together below are seven Sevens made up of 7 squares each. The answers to each Seven start in their respectively numbered squares and continue along its path surrounded by a bold outline, going right and then down. Meanwhile, the answers to the Rows go straight across the grid, including those with only one or two letters in them.

Once you've filled in the grid, the letters in the colored squares (in the order of the Sevens that they appear in, starting with the Seven marked with a 1) will spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: A seven-letter word


ROWS
i) Marxist Guevara whose image is on t-shirts sold via capitalism
ii) Floating star-like creature from Super Mario Galaxy (anagram of MAUL)
iii) Mass _____ transit system
iv) Fairy tale character who pushes a witch into an oven
v) Italian version of "Mister"
vi) Catch in a web
vii) Sad songs and story-telling songs
viii) Surf rock guitarist Dick who performed "Misirlou"
ix) Hospital tubes, briefly
x) Postal abbr. for the Cornhusker State
xi) Rating for exactly one film released theatrically in 2021 (It's PAW Patrol: The Movie, for the record)

SEVENS
1) Like a head with a large receding hairline
2) Force into subservience
3) Uses a car's blinkers, say
4) Holy Hand _____ of Antioch (weapon used in Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
5) NBA team whose name was inspired by Jurassic Park
6) Animated candelabra who sings "Be Our Guest"
7) Actor Don who dons the "War Machine" suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
