Not one of these people have ever been so hungry all they could do was lay there and watch pigs eat, or eat bugs, or worked in the fucking mines/orchards/fields/ranch.The only partially equitable thing to the real world is Hunger Games. Okay Daygo, here's a recurve bow, show me how you're going to fight the power.
They always overlook a few things:
Harry Potter grew up in serious abusive neglect, had someone out to kill him who had followers willing to kill him, and had to fight for his life several times in addition to attending school and being allowed to go everywhere armed. And these people killed members of his direct family, AND he was turned into a child soldier to maintain a status quo that belittled him and his family.
Hunger Games: Impoverished after her father died in the mines, depressive mother, almost starved to death, had to hunt in the woods just to make sure her family had enough to eat, ended up having to fight for her life against people out to actually brutally kill her. She suffered from severe PTSD (in the books especially), shot and killed a burgeoning fascist, one of her best friends growing up devised the attack that killed her sister to frame a dictator, and ended up becoming a haus frau who watched her children like a hawk.
Star Wars: Anakin was a child-slave, turned into a child soldier, told to set aside love and family in the name of a religion. Luke grew up hard-scrabble on a fucking moisture farm on a desert planet and learned to fly Clone War surplus light fighters. He lost his hand, found out his father was the one who cut off his hand, suffered and struggled. He didn't accomplish the rebellion alone. The Disney Star Wars completely destroyed everything he and his sister and friends did for nothing.
Every time, it's a concerted effort of people who didn't want to really do what they were forced to do. Harry Potter is the sole exception, to a point, and all he wanted to do was go to school, make friends, and not live in a closet any more. NONE of these people, except Leia, wanted anything to do with the "grand struggle" and none of them (Except Rey) ever saw themselves as the savior of jack and shit. Katniss just didn't want to stave to death and she was forced to fight in the war. She was fucking conscripted into the war.
These fucking tards just look at the movie and see "STANDING UP AGAINST THE EBUL HIMPIRE!!" and that's all that they take away from it. (Which is why NuWars failed)
Not the struggle, not the sacrifice, not the eating bugs or ACTUALLY fighting a war where the enemy is allowed to use their best efforts to kill you.
They're little kids punching at an adult and screaming their fighting the power so they don't have to go to bed when they're told.
Fuck these assholes who consumed all that media and took NOTHING away from it. Not the messages in them, not in the slightest.
They're the type to watch the movie Frankenstein's Monster and only take away that being a doctor is cool and lets you cut up dead bodies.
