LOL at politics being some new influence on entertainment. It’s as old as the medium itself.

I'm not a big comic book guy myself, but I know the deeper you go into the Marvel bench you get more characters who are deeply political. That's why I generally stay away from them, I'm staying in my safe space tonight of non-political movies to go watch Dune 2.

Dune 2 rocked!Comment

Spider-Man/Xmen/Avengers/Captain America - I'll agree with "themes" - but all were more focused on telling Stan Lee's comic book based stories and good acting. That's what made (most) Fox owned Marvel movies as good as they were. "Woke" Disney owned marvel has ruined the brand.Originally posted by Whitley View PostGot Kneecaps?Comment

What are you talking about? If there’s not 2-3 trans people in major roles it’s not a Super Hero movie. And you can’t say woke around here. They’ll come out with their pride flags and want to protest somethingOriginally posted by Coop View PostF#*K OHIO!!!

Love the “Office Space” reference.
Re-watched that movie a few months ago and it of course holds as a classic comedy.
Nice.Originally posted by froot loops View PostAAL 2023 - Alim McNeillComment

Originally posted by Coop View PostStan Lee was “woke”From time to time we receive letters from readers who wonder why there’s so much moralizing in our mags. They take great pains to point out that comics are supposed to be escapist reading and nothing more. But somehow, I can’t see it that way. It seems to me that a story without a message, however subliminal, is like a man without a soul.

He literally had a feature in his comic books called "Stan's Soapbox", I think that is where that quote came from. You can even buy the collection of all of his pontifications.Comment

I think you have to search for a Captain America issue that is free of politics. I mean, it's right in the name! He was a Jack Kirby co-creation not really Stan Lee. Red Skull is a fascist.
In the 50's the Cap was Captain America Commie Smasher.

Marvel has always always always been a Woke organization. Hell the mutant issues of X-Men, was supposed to be an allegory of racism and jim crowe treatment of PoC. Outside the 90-2010s with the over sexualization of the women in marvel comics, marvel spent a lot of time even in that time fighting racism, sexism, political issues, gender issues, even politicized diseases (Xmen had a disease that was an allegory to AIDs).Comment
