Get Out has an Academy Award and 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Jurassic Park, Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, Star Wars, Star Trek, Xmen etc are some of the biggest franchises of all time. (I’m running out of characters) All of these have a message. It’s WHY they are iconic.
execs like this and business folks could never be a creator. They do not understand what it takes to create. Filmmakers are influenced by the politics, wars, horrors, technology and systems of the world they grow up in. These are all social commentary on humanity
@msdanifernandez Andor is one of the best written and most political Star Wars stories. The Avatar films made so much money and are extremely preachy about their message. And let's not get started about the politics of Lord of the Rings, which is also entertaining.
@msdanifernandez The craziest part is he cites the Black Panther movies as part of this supposed problem when together they collectively grossed close to 2 billion dollars worldwide.
@msdanifernandez The other day someone tried to tell me X-Men went “woke” with the new cartoon and I had to read it twice bc I was like “have you never paid attention to what X-Men is about”
