Probably my favorite example of this is Wing Commander IV, where Mark Hamill’s fighter pilot character discovers evidence of racist attacks by his country on the marginalized “Border Worlds,” so he straight up joins the BW to wage war on his own side
এই থ্রেডটি দেখান -
The ending is that he fights his way through a military blockade, killing tens of thousands of his own side, and flies a stolen stealth fighter to Congress, where they let him testify, decide he was totally right, and arrest the bad guys for being evil

Winter Soldier was only 5 years ago.
-
I give Winter Soldier a pass because it's a totally *different* fantasy that turns out to not be true: incredibly competent officials within the corrupt bureaucracy use the excessive powers they shouldn't have to destroy the entire system, THEN leak their justifications
-
Ah, 2014. Back when the idea of the government being controlled by a cabal of literal nazis seemed like some absurd comic book nonsense.
-
The problem with Winter Soldier now is that it's surprising that the nazis who took over the government in the movie felt the need to hide the fact that they were nazis.
-
Well, "Hail Hydra" is actually pretty perfect for alt-right identifying types. It's not *Hitler* Naziism so they think they should get a pass
-
It's all kind of the reverse, though. Winter Soldier is more or less about a Nazi deep state undermining a normal US government. Our current conspiracy culture has it the other way.
-
Our current conspiracy culture CLAIMS it to be the other way around, but they are being fed by social media campaigns launched by WS groups, Russian intell, and Alex Jones, Fox News, & the POTUS, who are being fed by those same sources. The conspiracy culture IS the deep state!

@misc I think this a lot, too, about environmental thrillers. Like Erin Brockovich. Fight in vain bc "red tape stifles growth" -
Yeah, movies like “industrial worker discovers his plant is venting 20% too many CFCs, they try to kill him because they know exposing this will ruin him, he shoots 50 cops hunting him but the lead cop realizes he’s been framed and helps him and the bad guys all go to jail”
-
I would just like to know what movie this is because it sounds lit. The only movie that comes close to this is China Syndrome.
-
I made it up. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the exact plot of something
-
This is the Halle Barry catwoman
-
Delayed reaction but thanks for reminding me that I went to see this in theaters. yay
