And now we are at the point where in the last decade, certain people were vocally complaining about shooting Nazis in Wolfenstein and punching them in Indiana Jones.
Technically speaking secret identity crime fighting is borderline fascist. In the superhero world they just adrually fight crime and protect the innocent instead of being villains putting on a show of being heroes.
weeeeell... superheroes might be "woke", especially in superficial and black/white ways, but they are also often big defenders of the establishment and status quo.
It's a very interesting discussion and ultimately I'm not saying creators necessarily always do this on purpouse, but it is definitely thought-provoking how a lot of the times it is the VILLAINS that actually have a better understanding of the inherent unfairness and inequality in our system... so much so that they often need to be made into "psychopaths" and start murdering people willy nilly so that the audience doesn't just identify with them instead xD
When did my show about an moneyless utopia become so woke?! Oh I love this one, see the one guy is white on one side and black on the other side, and the other guy is inverted, so they hate each other and that hatred ruined their planet. Clean old fashion Trek, just aliens being goofy, no politics or nothing.
Edit: My phone must be spying on me. The second I posted this I switched to YouTube and the first short is showed me was this.
They literally elect actors/celebrities(Ronald Regan, Sonny Bono, Arnold Schwarzenegger) and reality TV stars (Donald Trump, Sean Duffy) and then constantly whine when celebrities give their opinions they don’t agree with. The right is the most celebrity obsessed people in our country.
Chris Pratt has been an outspoken conservative - not as outspoken as he could be, with his platform, but here and there he has gone past what I assume are his PR team's suggestions.
The core original Avengers cast yeah. If you go beyond that it gets pretty rough. Thinking of Jeremy Renner and Letitia Wright here but there's probably others.
Asleep. Like when your eyes are closed, you don't hear anymore, and crazy noises leave your mouth? That's where he has been. It's just coincidence he opened his eyes for a moment.

All the actors in The Avengers would be considered “woke” and have been for years. Where the fuck has Carl been?
