Controversial The hijacking of western entertainment made for men
- Thread starter Indigo
- Start date
super hero movies, action movies, battle shounen, are still stories
just because they don't have a message you agree with, doesn't mean they are not stories
they are still great and fun stories, who let us escape reality and travel into other worlds, follow incredible characters
this obsession with every story needing to be diversity, inclusive, and talking about some minority that is suffering or some political problem is just trash

Yes, and all stories are political. Weither you want it or not. EVEN those who are depolitized to the maximum like Super Hero movies.
Your problem is not the politic in stories.
Your problem (like many people here ) are CERTAIN FORMS of politics. Which are, as you said:
- Diversity
- Inclusivity
- Or talking about minorities
Who care if the Jedi have a sectarist, imperialist and completely toxic ideology... they go VZOOOOOM !!!

some stories want you to think
other stories want you to feel, relate, find escapism and comedy
one is not better than the other, they just have different goals

being you is probably exhausting

thank god general audiences have been rejecting these projects
maybe Hollywood will learn with the box office hits of 2024

That's what you don't get. All the stories have the same purpose : To make you think.
Some have different ways of doing that. Horror, comedy, adventure..
But all stories are made in order for you to think at the end of the day. Simply because they are the vision of the world of an author that they are trying to convey.
On the contrary.
Not knowing a problem is much more exhausting that being aware of it. You proved it yourself by making this thread.
I do not have this problem simply because I know that what you are aiming for is not it. The problem is bad storytelling and a bad usage of politics. Nothing more.
Once we will get better and more leftist storytellers.. you will see the rise of amazing stories. Just like Andor.

yet Andor had the lowest viewership of any star wars project lmao
that's how much people care
i think we're about to see Hollywood turn around and stop investing money into big blockbusters for this type of shit

Acolyte also disappeared from the nielsen ratings after the first few episodes
everybody dropped that shit

not really
like i said, Andor is the lowest viewed Star Wars project ever, the general audience doesn't know about it at all
and most Star Wars fans think it's super boring
Dune 1 also wasn't very popular dropped on streaming during the pandemic and many people called it boring too, since it split the book between setup and payoff
Dune 2 was great, yet in just 5 days, Deadpool and Wolverine made more money and was viewed by a lot more people than Dune 2

I always check the dates now whenever I come across a new series I want to watch. If it's made after 2016, I go in very sceptical and that's if I even give it a chance at all. Sometimes I'll even look up the director to see what his track record is with political pandering.
Even if I agree with the political message (which does happen), I still don't watch because it's annoying to see movies that tell you how to think. They also often dehumanise/exaggerate the other side and it comes across as incredibly petty and slightly sinister.
My solution is to do everything I can to avoid giving them my money or my attention. It's a damn shame what they did with the Charmed remake and Sabrina. Also new series like 'The Boys' became completely unwatchable to me by the end of the 3rd season.

I'm right tho..
The LARGE majority of stories are created in a way to tell you how to think.. or rather, more precisely.. to act.
You don't believe me ?
Fair ! Then give me 10 stories (that I know, I will tell you if that's not the case) and I will show you why it's the case.
