The Pursuit of Happyness is really bad. Will Smith's inspirational moment is going to the New York Stock Exchange and seeing all the happy rich guys in suits walking around, and wanting to be like them. Having to do stuff like brown-nose executives, sleep in train station bathrooms and pull his son out of daycare due to lack of money are presented not as flaws of the system but evidence of Smith's smart bootstraps-oriented thinking. This movie is the Mein Kampf of liberalism.

      Wonder Woman's sequel was even more liberal with its "the status quo is so good that all you have to do is convince the entire world to :vote: for it" message.

      I had issues with cheering on a literal god as she slaughters 18 year old conscripts on Armistice Day.

      Wonder Woman has one of the worst examples of "carving a bloody swath through a bunch of drafted mooks and then having a moral quandary over what to do with the evil mastermind war criminal" that I've ever seen.

      spend an entire movie reinforcing the concept that humans are independently capable of meaningless slaughter

      get to the end and wow, it really was just humans all along. how refreshing

      LOL jk it was evil mustache man all along!! shake all that introspection out of your ear canal like pool water on a summer afternoon, it's time to watch CGI fight :so-true:
