2. 'Decisions' in nearly all the superhero movies are restricted to 'do I join the fight, or not'?

There's always SOME reason why 'ya know maybe I shouldn't, cause XYZ' ... and then they do because that's why they're in the movie. Characters rarely decide all that much else, and even that is a fake decision.

Just saying.

And #2 ... is just as much Corporate propaganda as Chinese propaganda.

Hell, it's the propaganda coming from most of our own parents growing up

I'll skip it and watch Black Panther again
