It’s still a great movie, who cares if fascists like it. They’re going to be fascist whether they see it or not. I don’t really need to worry about people on twitter watching a movie wrong.

Yeah I think this needs to be said more here. I’m all here for Hexbear media crit but the way some people talk here, you’d think we’d all be living in FALGSC if it weren’t for a couple of Netflix shows turning everyone fash. Media has power, but I don’t think we can blame the rise of Nazism on the content of Berlin vaudeville plays. Fascists will find media to cling too no matter how hard you try to edit it against their tastes, might as well just enjoy what you enjoy and focus on bashing them in the streets.
Poor phrasing on my part I guess… I dig the movie, second one wasn’t that interesting but the third one ( I think) was pretty good.
The thought I had in my head was “make the movies, but if you’re doing satire, understand that the people you’re satirizing are probably going to think you’re making something “for” them.”
When I watched this movie as a teenager when it came out, I didn’t get it.
It was just a standard big dumb military alien sci-fi action movie, had to learn about some things before picking up on the subtext (and the TEXT) on later rewatches.
Don’t be cute and make “inside joke” movies.
All movies should just be a person staring at a camera and reciting the moral using words no longer than 6 letters.
Come and See but it’s a Marvel Cinematic Universe schlockfest and/or capeshitstravaganza

There’s a lot of good art that bad people like

It’s not subtle though. Fascists are just idiots.

Okay but hear me out we were also all dumb as teenagers.
