MODERATORS
Star Wars: Fighting space Nazis
Superman: protecting people from Lex Luthor; evil billionaire
Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Marvel: “Evil is bad, how about let’s not genocide” (ignoring the billionaire worship w/ Iron Man)
X-Men: always been an allegory for LGBTQ+ and disabled folks
RATM: I mean, it’s in the name.
Starting to see a theme here hmm
Star wars is also heavily influenced by the Vietnam war. This influenced is alleged to be non deliberate.
It is hilariously appropriate that US Service Members often identify with The Empire and have on occasion flown Empire flags on bases
Alex Jones often imitates Darth Vader and Baron Harkonnen from Dune (as in putting himself in their roles) when he's bragging about how he and his fellow fascists are "destroying the globalists" 🤦😄
Can't find it now, but I remember seeing an interview where George Lucas said it was very deliberate.
