It’s not that we hate the Marvel movies or Star Wars, its that they are unfortunately being used as vehicles by the radical left to push their agenda (though to be fair, Star Wars unfortunately was ALWAYS meant to be leftist propaganda, especially when Lucas created the franchise to basically be anti-Vietnam War/pro-Vietcong propaganda per his own admission and development notes).
And quite frankly, regarding leftist actors, I can tolerate them as long as they don’t try to get political and just do their job at actually acting. If anything, I have more concern about leftist directors or leftist screenwriters, who DO in fact wield a lot of power and most certainly can’t seem to keep their political opinions to themselves.
Why single out these two franchises, when what you say is true of almost any Hollywood production; TV, movie, music or even Broadway?
I gave up a lot of this as an adult conservatives, but will still watch action, adventure and sci-fi flicks.
As far as Lucas’s “desire” for his films, we don’t have to accept it. I think of the Rebellion as the American Patriots, and the Empire as King George III’s forces.
But even so, both are far-fetched. It’s just a story (young orphan takes on world, find source of his early beginnings were based on betrayal, defeats betrayers while rescuing his father) as old as the Greek dramas.
