    So basically the main character will be a wholesome 100 mega lib and everything about communism will be shit on for this adaptation?

      the point is: it literally doesnt matter

      the main character can be "based and commiepilled" and it would still fly over most people's heads. no matter how cutting the critique is, it will always be subsumed by capital

          i think its a case of people taking what they want to see out of whatever media they consume

          to me the real message of Parasite was very apparent but to those who are not clued in, it can completely elude them

          That shit blew my mind when it was popular, no idea how you can be that dense. That movie beats you over the head with its critique and yet

          Same for squid game

      I think amazon funds more anticapitalist media than other media companies, because it's an unfulfilled niche in the market to them. So whether or not a show has good politics is more of a fly on a windshield to them.
