        I remember one take was that the hunger games was about how bad communism is. Yes the story about rich people watching poor kids die for fun and a revolution is started against said rich people

        It’s obviously the American colonists and the British Empire! You can tell because the good guys are fighting for Freedom, which is what Americans do.

          The Black Panther movie has so many nods to actually good politics, then shits the bed anyway. I can't tell if Coogler left dog whistles to the good politics he wanted to put in but Disney wouldn't let him, or if it's just performative lib BS. Killmonger grew up in Oakland of all places? Can't be an accident.

            Killmonger is my favorite MCU hero. Shame his revolutionary spirit was crushed by a technocratic xenophobic monarchy that then transitioned to libshit

            I would never watch marvel shit, but the comments I heard about that movie are disgusting, like, any sane person would cheer for "the bad guy" plan but he was bad so his ideas are totally wrong.
