Thunderbolts and The Moral Relativism of Modern Hollywood

KEEP UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

raise a generation to think good and evil is purely subjective it makes it easier to commit heinous acts with no one speaking out.

[BirchTheGreat]

The original Thunderbolts had a compelling story to them. Villains pretending to be heroes to gain access to power. But some of them liked the hero business and rebeled against their leader Zemo.

Real easy, basic storyline.

[davidthompson]

Keep in mind, they think Captain America is a “bad guy” simply by not bending to their will.

[seanh]

My 5yo knows that a "good guy" isn't a perfect person but rather someone who wants to be good and tries to be good, even if they stumble/fail along the way. He's 5.

Evil is always the first to tell you “There is no evil.”

[CaseyKaufman-fuic]

The purpose of moral relativism is banality; to slowly condition you to tolerate the intolerable.

[phenomenal-xvey]

They are using moral relativism so they can retcon all the evil characters like Maleficent, Sauron, Cruella Deville, etc. It allows them to tear down "heroes" like Captain America, James Kirk, Luke Skywalker.

[chapelpluto]

Quite possibly one of your BEST videos. Morality in modern story telling has gone out the window.

[Drawquit]

There are only bad guys and worse guys, said by a character in a universe that only exists because a good guy died to save it.

[darchangeldavid]

I still hate the gender swaps for ghost and task master. That was unnecessary with all the female characters in Marvel comics.

[TheAquarius]

If there is no good and evil, there are no heroes.
If there are no heroes, there are no role models.
If there are no role models, you have no better self to strive to.
Let the world accept you how you are, you're perfect 🤮

how the absolute blue fuck does a regular Human stop a Super Soldier with their strength? Marvel forgot about the whole new Captain America having the Super Soldier serum didn't they.

"Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision" - Winston Churchill...This is the kind of belief we use to teach our children. This is how we framed our heroes. This is what allowed men to cross seas and storm beaches. We lose sight of this and we lose sight of our humanity..."For Frodo...."

[CanuckWolfman]

I really wish they'd tell the original Thunderbolts story. Supervillains pretending to be heroes to fill the void left by the Avengers as part of a scheme, only for several of them to decide they prefer being heroes is so much cooler than just being *The Suicide Squad We Have At Home.*

I guess we just don't tell redemption stories anymore.

[WickedScott]

Black Widow was introduced to us as a sexy, charismatic woman with a secret. Now we have angry barista lesbian.

[Kowalski_]

There are no bad guys at Disney, Bob Iger has decreed it.

[rhaythe]

Moral relativity is being pushed to justify sin.

[mr.dccomics]

And now you see why Hollywood demonize Superman.

[shawnpullen]

Some of the biggest blockbusters implements Christian themes, like redemption, forgiveness, goodness. We shouldn't be surprised that Hollywood is trying to erase those things.
