Sounds like the story of the Injustice video games and comics. Superman becomes a dictator.

They think "people want leftist tripe"
Moviegoers are like "nope"
When the movie fails, they think "we just need to go harder, they really want this!"
When the movie fails, they blame the public for NOT going to the movie because, well, dangit.. they SHOULD have gone to see it, by gosh. They are just bigoted haters.

"superman IV the quest for peace" it was at the it was at the height of the no nukes movement and it portrayed the US and the soviet union as both part of the problem and it bombed big time superman was going to confiscate everyone's nukes and force world peace. it stunk up the place and bombed big time killing the franchise in 1987. the next superman wouldn't be made until 29 years later.
4 being a Cannon quality film with the villain wounding Superman by scratching him with his long nails was way more a problem than any political statement.

Sometimes they do it before the movie releases
Ghostbusters 2016, The Acolyte, Ironheart, etc.

Remember the days when you could see something in a movie you disagreed with and simply roll your eyes at it? I do. Still do.

Nothing will ever change from the left. They will continue to do the same things no matter what happens.

I’ve been here for a while. Maybe, just maybe, Hollywood started worrying less about making great movies with hints of political subtext and more about beating you over the head with “the message”.

Are you still an immigrant?
If immigrating from Baton Rouge to a few non-shithole cities in the US makes me an immigrant, then yes. That probably makes every human being an immigrant if we reduce it to traveling from one location to another.
How far should we take this tedious discussion ?

If you think moving from Baton Rouge to a different CITY makes you an immigrant, that just makes you an idiot, not an immigrant...
Since the definition you responded to specifies "foreign country"
