We Need Real Heroes
I have nothing against caped crusaders or comic book classics. Michael Keaton’s Batman came out when I was a child, and the movie absolutely captivated me. I likewise found Robert Downy Junior’s Ironman inspirational, especially when he took out those terrorists by constructing a suit from scrap metal.
These stories were wonderful when we thought supervillains were just a trope and not a truth, when we needed a fantasy to take us away from the beautiful and just reality that was America. But things have changed. America is now infested with monsters, and we need real heroes to fight them.
But I am not the only one who feels this way.
If you want proof, look at how the recent Indiana Jones movie performed in comparison to the Sound of Freedom. Indiana Jones was fun when Nazis were still the boogeyman and Harrison Ford was too young for a walker, but he, like the slough of marvel movies, have run their course.
The few Nazis around are not enough to hold a barbeque much less another Holocaust, and purple alien villains are nothing when literal human villains just forced your children to veil and your loved ones to inject.
The Sound of Freedom by contrast is a movie based on the harsh reality of child trafficking and suggests what we knew all along, that some of our elites may be the closest thing to vampires the world has ever seen.
The country just got over medical apartheid, and the perpetrators of said apartheid are still walking the streets. Children are still disappearing; my phone goes off daily with amber alerts and the front end of Walmart is plastered with the faces of the missing. Market the Flash to me all you want, but until he strings up Fauci or traffickers, I won’t give a rip how fast he runs or spend a dime on his movie.
Hollywood can no longer cover its crimes with its creativity. Their movies sting our eyes and ring hollow in our ears. Their full repentance is necessary for us to buy again, but I won’t hold my breath. Rather, I would support giving time and money to competitors like Angel studios; if enough of us do this, then these alternative entertainment industries may yet be able to cut the head from this dragon and hand Hollywood its proverbial a#$!
Then, and only then will we see the real heroes we so long for in real life as well as on screen.
