incredibles 2 was subverted by liberalism and feminism

I classify you as a good guy, but for the Updike picture alone.

Really? Because the first incredibles seemed mildly conservative.

>Woman gives up job for family
>In alternate intro to the movie Helen gets into an argument with a woman where she defends being a stay-at-home mom
>Heterosexual nuclear family
>Man portrayed as mangry strong brute, women portrayed as super flexible.

They seemingly intentionally did the opposite in this one, Mr is a cucked house husband and Mrs is a superheroine

I really wouldn't mind them doing this so long as they were going to play with more conservative concepts in their other movies, but I know they won't. Seeing just a bland wash of nothing but liberal feminism portrayed in movies just seems incredibly dull and lifeless to me.

I bet you some animated movies with conservative themes would do very well in this market due to the oversaturation of Marvel capeshit RESISTANCE crap. I liked the Marvel Series Luke Cage specifically BECAUSE I nearly fell out of my chair when I realised a story about a Black Man in Harlem was a fundamentally conservative tale.

Wouldn't any movie that makes it into cinemas be, ipso facto, ideologically supportive of the current capitalist order?

Oh, I'm just going to say it now, the stay-at-home dad Mr. Incredible is portrayed as an incompetant bumbling father isn't he?

How do I know this? Hollywood can't help stroking women's egos in this way even though technically this portrayal of men runs smack in the face of the feminist ideal that both women and men should have equal responsibility at home.
