Watch Andor. The writers have stated that the characters and events were inspired by explicitly leftist figures and events, including Stalin and the IRA lol. Granted, the writer said he didn’t really care much about Stalin besides the sensationalized stories of his early life, but the results aren’t very libby compared to other Star Wars stuff.
I had a humanities professor who was a huge comics fan and he thought that Infinity War/Endgame were some of the greatest movies ever because Thanos was such a "complex character" and there were "huge moral questions". And like, this was someone who acted like the stereotypical "super liberal" professor (talking about diversity, making fun of Trump, etc). Which is why it's shocking to me that someone who's ostensibly "woke" would think that Thanos had any point whatsoever, in a world where a device that can create infinite resources exists. It feels like the comics crowd (both the creators and fans) are afraid that people will view their media as "childish", yet their supposedly "morally complex" villains somehow end up even more childish than before.

One Way Out is such a good arc that they literally named the character Kino
One of the rebels has a laser gun that is just an AK-47.
Democracy grows out of the barrel of a blaster. :SickoSawGerrera:
