Anastasia (1997) has to be a contender. The message is literally "communism is bad because it got in the way of the Romanovs having fancy parties and wearing expensive clothes"

    From relatively recent times: Green Book, Black Panther, any latest Marvel movie which will have a progressive marketing gimmick, and also Crash is 2004 but its liberalness echoes strongly.

      the fact that Black Panther is basically “yeah, you’re rooting for the monarch and not the guy whose father was murdered” is hilarious

          I have argued this to so many people and I fully believe it. Killmonger randomly goes from "I want control of this wealthy nation to help the oppressed" to switching to "actually I just want to oppress everyone else Muhahaha!" It's pretty clear they realized that Killmonger was in the right, so they needed to attach some BS "oppressed becomes the oppressor."

            They actually always do this. They did this in Korra too. Many of the villains had extremely good points, the writers just had to make them cartoonishly evil and violent to justify them as villains.

        That movie sincerely holds my all-time favorite Marvel scene -- I don't have many -- where Kilmonger meets his dead father and doesn't show a single emotion. "What, no tears for your father?" My friend summarized it as, "He's more attached to his ideology than he is to his loved ones," and I didn't understand why that necessarily has to be a villainous quality to have.

              Wait, he didn't open more schools and crap in all of Africa? I kind of remember him sending aid to a lot of different countries, not just Western ones. That's actually funny in a bad way, even the most generous Marvel hero only cares about helping Amerikkka.

      the hero-cop worship of crash is truly a disturbing look into liberal brain.

      guy literally goes around forcibly penetrating minorities at gun point.

      :dem: libs gonna lib i guess :dem:
