but are these films causing fascism, or just reflecting the times they’re made in, like a symptom?
A symptom, IMO. The top brass at Disney aren't thinking "we need to make movies that reinforce the status quo and assure people that capitalism and America are wonderful." Nope, instead, they just care about profit. Maximum profit possible. And they have spent billions finding the exact cinematic formulas that maximize profit globally (plus some good PR for the CIA and US govt, because that's always a good business decision...)
