It's scary how all of entertainment is being subsumed under one company

    Get ready for the next generation to grow up thinking it's normal that any media they watch is either a self-serious "comedy" about how it's okay to feel (unless you're mad at the system, which is toxic yikes), or a freakin epic girlboss superhero movie (funded by the DoD) where all of the dialogue is like "Erm yeah. I'm thinking that just happened."

      the generation that grew up on endless wholesome family comedies about a lawyer who meets a talking dog and learns to pay more attention to his suburban upper middle class white family ain't doing much better

        Referring to Captain Marvel, which was used to make a bunch of ads for the Air Force.

          What's worse, an epic girlboss movie funded by the DoD or one that's funded by the IDF?

        Any movie that has military equipment or personnel in it is partially funded by the Department of Defense. The movie has to have their permission to film that equipment, and the permission always comes with strings attached.

          I personally can't wait for Top Gun 2's critique of the military industrial complex.
