Or do our magnificently enlightened (and just possibly exceedingly oversensitized) cultural sensibilities of 2017 override any consideration of the man aside from what he ‘did wrong’ by our standards?

It’s always fun to judge and condemn people in the past by our own magnificently enlightened sensibilities, isn’t it? All that self-righteous pride really gives you a good feeling when you do it. And isn’t that the most important thing?

Still haven’t. But... that’s to be expected, eh?

They’re playing to their base.

And something we can only dream of. The trouble is they don’t dare take a chance on something that MIGHT not have sequel/reboot/trilogy/universe potential - or indeed not be a blockbuster on the first weekend.
