In general, modern media rarely lets the viewer make his own judgement about the morality of the situation. You're usually given a sermon rather than philosophical conundrum for your to think about.
- kstenerud 2mo agoOne of the reasons why I liked The Good Place so much was because they did playful treatments on various philosophical points, without spoon feeding a solution.
- IAmBroom 2mo agoStar Wars makes it clear The Empire does bad things on the regular, but it never, ever proves that the "state religion" of Resistance's elite warriors is a good thing (beyond opposing the Empire's bad thing).
- hnlmorg 2mo agoOne of the recent TV spin offs did look to address that nuance. Unfortunately it completely butchered the story line with weird tails of space-witches and one dimensional characters. The one thing I did think the prequel movies did well, perhaps the only thing, was how it painted a world where absolute greed allowed an environment for space-nazis to thrive. Though real life sadly demonstrates that corruption doesn’t need to happen in the shadows to succeed.
