Well that and stories depend on conflict, if you create a perfect society, you lose out on conflict. Sometimes you just have to stop dreaming if you want the story to be any good.
The only story I know of where people solve EVERY problem is Scribblenauts, and that’s because it’s hard to get more overpowered than Maxwell’s Notebook.
Heck they even did a DC Crossover where you can pretty much make Maxwell invincible by adding the adjective “Kryptonian” to yourself and Kryptonite isn’t even a problem when you can just add an adjective claiming it’s fake or just a toy.
Changing the skin colour is enough “woke” to get banned. If kids shows have revolutionary heroes they’d drop bombs from helicopters on their studio like they did to people in Philadelphia all the way back in the distant memories of 1985.
This, so much this, one of the major problems the MCU has is it has Military Money behind it… So the plots mostly go
“The Status Quo is perfect, the people complaining about it are unforgivable!”
It’s why you have villains like Kilmonger who are incredibly based, but then they’ll eat a baby in the third act to try to justify him being the bad guy… even though Kilmonger was absolutely correct in that Wakanda betrayed the rest of Africa by not reigning in the white man with their superior technology.
Yeah I heard a theory somewhere that MCU movies are inherently fascist. They’re about how agents of change are always dangerous, they can be incredibly based but for no reason they have to do mass murder to meet their ideals? And the only ones who can save us from these dangerous agents of change are a some sort of superhuman, an ‘ubermencht’ if you will, to get rid of agents of change through might, high-five some cops, and never ever again mention or ponder on anything ever.
Indeed, and Disney’s throwing a fit because an executive watched one of the only good Post-Endgame MCU movies (Deadpool 3), fired Ryan Reynolds, and admitted that since they’ve been marketing it for so long the Left Hand doesn’t know what the Right is doing.
Between Blatant Fascism and an outright disdain for quality, I don’t watch MCU anymore and don’t know why anyone else does. It’s like living in 2006 and still thinking qouting Wayne’s World makes you the King of Comedy.
Isn’t the genie in the original story a trickster?
The genie will probably make everyone poor when Aladdin wishes for more equality.
If they start making kids shows have revolutionary heroes, it would be too “woke” and get banned.
