I am now picturing Donnie Yen singing “Let’s get down to business, to defeat the huns...”

Yes, immensely. How about the fact that, rather than resolving disputes openly and honestly, the kingdom separates on two sides and the movie ends in a civil war?

“...just also happened to have political themes. But those political themes, despite being in the movie, are only lightly touched upon...”

Might also look into Genesys if you haven’t yet

Indeed. It’s a movie about a unified, technologically advanced society that still resolves their disputes with ritual combat and erupts into a civil war because, as it turns out, a king did some shady stuff and kept secrets. That is pretty much every King in history. You’d think a more advanced culture would be able…

How about a utopia of advanced society whose citizens, when it comes down to disagreements in how the country should work, resorts to starting a civil war with each other? Can’t break tradition. Give me a break. The turncoat character just wanted more power than he had, like all warmongers do. Killmonger himself was…

Nah. Justice League cartoon proves they can be humanized and be good entertainment.

That Batman quote is from the Dark Knight Rises. Catwoman says it towards the end. Different iteration of the mythos but still applies.

Dear Mr Pulliam-Moore,

*Queues up every Marvel movie in which the “superhero” kills the villain*

That’s because the “good guys” in clone wars are fighting against literal machines 90% of the time. The tactics they use to take out machines cannot be considered brutal or evil because the machines are not living beings. If you want some “good guy” examples, recall that beheading Mandalorians was done by Ahsoka.…

Incorrect. Clone Wars was extremely brutal. From droids popping escape pods & watching unmasked Clone Troopers suffocate in space to assassinations of Senators to Impaled Jedi on-screen to beheadings of Mandalorians to Asajj Ventress using the force to pull that one Clone into her lightsaber as she kissed him...

In…

Obligatory

Clone Wars was about the Clone Troopers, different from the Stormtroopers, yet very similar. Clones were genetically modified, were brainwashed & aged twice as fast so they actually were literal child soldiers (a 10 year old Clone Trooper would have the body of a 20 year old and would be deemed fit for active duty).…

Finn did. That was the entire point of the above video analysis of The Force Awakens. All he knew about life outside the First Order was just what he observed and yet he chose to Rebel against the life that he knew. If he could recognize the First Order is evil, why couldn’t the others? He wasn’t anything special,…
