I agree on the liberalism and chauvinism bits, it's DNA definitely has that in it for sure and when they show through on screen it's kinda gross. I think there are ways to handle it appropriately without just glossing over colonialism and theft. Or maybe I'm just coping with some cognitive dissonance right now.
I do disagree that it's boring though. Those first movies were great action movies that were aimed at an audience that films don't really care about anymore. It sucks that everything is either for infants or for adults with almost nothing in between now. I wish they would make more high quality movies, that do not have disdain for its audience, and are still appropriate for 10 year olds. Unlimited genocide on the YA fiction world.
I also think the world benefits from having some more autistic hero characters in it.
