  1. Broke: Star Wars is cool. Space wizards. Woke: Star Wars is a cliche storm. Bespoke: that's what makes it good.

  2. Unironically in several of Shakespeare plays. Polonius comes to mind first. I heard it was written that way because of the way theater worked at the time and was handwaved by viewers same way we don't notice movie titles or videogame UI. You know, like in Japan the black stage hand costumes that removed corpses were considered invisible for story purposes and that's how ninja characters started being associated with black onesies lol.

  3. Yes, I can't believe how many times I heard arguments ranging from putin having "legitimate concerns" (as russia bombs my city) to "russian soldiers aren't evil they're just brainwashed" (to steal washing machines?), explain your sympathy for russians to the mother whose child intestines were turned inside out with a missile. In real life, evil is just that, evil. You don't need to "understand" what's in dictator's head. Movies conditioned people to think about villain complexity while in reality he's just a psychopath who gets his dopamine fix from war crimes. One of my fav villain types is the eldritch horror. Sadako from the Ring doesn't give a crap about you, she just kills everyone she comes in contact with. The girl had a backstory but she's far gone from having any humanity left. Many horror villains are like that, they don't have a motivation we can comprehend. Reapers in Mass Effect were perfect villains as they acted JUST like russians, unredeemable monsters only sowing destruction everywhere... all until the third game decided to give them motivations, which is both unrealistic, and cheap, as it tried to make people sympathetic for literal omnicidal murderbots. Despite all before that establishing that even considering their viewpoint is cult-like indoctrination.

  5. Isn't that literally magneto? No idea what this has to do with capitalism tho, before we got capitalism in 1991, all movies were heavily censored by communist party and much like any book, had to follow the state propaganda. Failing that would get the creators sent into Siberia.

  6. To touch that you need to be unredeemably evil in the first place tho.
