Re: Good movies with messages you don't like

I love a lot of action/fantasy adventure movies but I hate the message that you can just jump into a complex situation and know what's right and wrong. Just because one side has a pretty girl who says her side was wronged doesn't mean you should automatically help annihilate the other side. I get why movies, especially movies for kids, do this. The bad guys are sickly white and wear black spikes so we don't have to waste time determining if the Bad Guys are actually worse than the instability caused by their downfall.

I didn't love Ant Man And The Wasp And Cassie but (spoilers) it really frustrated me that Cassie Lang was down to fight after 5 minutes. Girl, you don't know shit about fuck. You haven't seen Loki. You don't know what life was like before Kang. Chill the fuck out and spend a minute learning your surroundings. Outsiders jumping into a fight they don't understand rarely goes well.

I wouldn't say that's a message, though. It's more just a trope. It happens that way because it's the most efficient way to get the action started, as you acknowledge, not to send a message.

There are a lot of people in this world who think they can jump in with an easy solution to a complex problem. People who feel free expressing opinions on military strategy for countries whose geography they don't even know. Friendships dissolve with no conflict resolution skills. Silicon Valley wastes time and effort rebuilding things they don't understand. People join extreme political movements because the more moderate stuff is too bloated/complicated/slow moving and blowing up an abortion clinic is simple and fast. Elon Musk's whole career. Take your pick.

I guess I could boil my problematic theme down to "Conflicts are very easy to understand, you only need to hear one side, and if you don't take immediate (and extreme) action you are not a hero."
