The harsh truth, people, is that this is the sign that our current "mythology" is pretty much done for. Because you see, before, the creators of those heroes and cultural landmarks knew that they could profit off of it but in the end, they were building an important part of their culture.
I doubt the ones that created Superman knew just how important their character would become, how they were creating a modern age god that would be "worshipped" and adored by children and adults alike for the decades to come.
However, now that most of those creators moved on to the next world, their legacies have been tarnished and manipulated by the current corrupt degenerate godless establishment. Our cultural "gods" carried a message or theme with them that adapted to our society and ourselves but now they are having those messages and themes re-writing to be current in the worst way possible, all to manipulate the minds of those moving forward.
Star Wars was a space epic of magical swordsmen that showed the journey of a boy becoming a man and the trials that he had to overcome to reach that physical, mental and spiritual maturity. Star Wars taught us that no one is beyond falling to the dark side but never beyond returning to the light either. It taught us to believe in ourselves and something greater (that greater be whatever you decide, it wasnt preachy in any way).
But now Star Wars doesnt feel like star wars anymore, it feels like a giant toy commercial that also seems despered to have a social and existential meaning, its void of true purpose and meaning. If anything, its a good representation of our causeless and increasingly nihilistic society, but unlike the real SW, that would show why thats not good and show us a better way, it instead feeds into that void that they want it to be filled with consumerism supplied by them and them only.
We are in the need to work towards producing new legends and heroes, us, not them. We need stories and legends that threaten the status quo and bring difficult questions and dares to show that yes, life isnt easy and its going to be filled with more bad than good but if you arent part of that good, then its going to eventually fade away. So support indie creators that are slowly rising from the steady extinction of our old brands and companies that once cared.
People need to re-learn the value of creating rather than destroying, even if its for a "good cause" in their eyes.
