Alternate perspective - You folks are way overthinking this. No big words and post-mo concepts needed. Hollywood is driven by Leftists who hate our culture. For the past 60 years they have use films and TVs to wash away its foundation. This is one of the most successful intellectual programs, ever.
Someday a historian will write “While we slept, our society died.”
Thank you for your kind words. However, I am 70. The rapid changes that lie ahead, for good or ill, are for my children and their generations to cope with. I am one of the prophets. Since 2003 I’ve warned, with some prescience, of what we now begin to see. What comes next is a singularity, beyond which none can see - but for which we can prepare.
Here are a few of my predictions. You might find them of use.
I agree on all points. But let’s not start from scratch. There are excellent books about politics in revolutionary times. Or you could scroll though my points (not as good, but briefer). See the here:
If Gunn really wanted to stick it to everyone, he should have cast Greta Thunberg as Supergirl. "How dare you expect me to use my heat vision!! It will cause more global warming."
James Gunn has become a parody of himself. Like many in Hollywood who had one good idea or made one good movie they think they're a genius. Guardians was fun but everything he's done since is a variation on that same theme. In Gunns case, just increasingly crass. (See Peacemaker season 2.) Supergirl seems to be more of the same. Grow up James.
“Of course she can’t have a white boyfriend…” That was the best. Because it’s always box checking for the woke these days and we don’t need to ridicule it because what they do is more ridiculous than what we would say. 🤡🤡🤡

That's a good way to put it, and I ask you to continue to speak this truth.
Make that saying yours, so it'll go in the history books. Let's inform America and fight idiocy, manipulation and spinelessness.
“While we slept, our society died.” - Irish-99.
You are that historian.

I can see you were speaking right along with the changes of the time.
Thank you for that. I'm just getting started.
I know this for certain: We are aware of the truth. A great many aren't. We have an uphill battle, and we need to fight it.
Blessings.

Apparently, we did not learn from Hancock that no one wants the slacker superhero.
Looking forward to the day when my expectations are actually subverted. That would mean they make something good. So I am not holding my breath.
