"Iron Man originally used to be about fighting communism, now it is about fighting terrorism" Uh? Let's look at the villains in the recent movies: Iron Man 1: Terrorists, later revealed to be puppets of a corrupt American military contractor. Iron Man 2: A Russian scientist with a personal grudge, later teams up with a corrupt American military contractor. Iron Man 3: Terrorists, turn out to have been entirely made up by a corrupt American military contractor. In every movie the real villain is a representative of the military-industrial complex. In two of the three, cutting-edge American military technology is publicly and embarrassingly subverted and used against American citizens. In the related Avengers movie, American military authorities order a nuclear attack on New York City. There is a lot of American propoganda in American movies (oh God, Battleship), but Iron Man is a pretty poor example. |
