Lmao, capitalist media has plenty of good guy businesses.

They shouldn’t tho, because good businesses are unrealistic.

“PS people answering with Nolan’s Batman movies: I love those movies, but in what sense is Wayne Enterprises itself portrayed as good for society? We know it used to be a major arms manufacturer, but what exactly does it do since Bruce W took over? Does anyone even know?”

This is an impressive concentration of :brainworms:

They don’t usually portray protests against a corporation in media unless if they are there to illustrate it as a “bad corporation”. That would open up a space for dissent and disagreement rather than a passive reality. Corporations are rarely shown and economic forces are portrayed as a series of epic larger than life personalities. If there is economic injustice, it’s because of either a personal melodrama amongst the corporate elite or a fact of nature. There’s no notion of system change but self actualisation as the cure.

Iron Man. And that’s from woke Disney. Also they don’t need to put that shit in movies. They pay PR firms and have seeded universities with economic departments so people say they’re better for society than the activists. We have several candidates who run every year on how good corporations are for society. Making sure corporations have free speech and other protections was a bipartisan effort. This is exactly why movies don’t matter because you can portray corporations however you want in movies and yet in real life they’re in charge.
