When Hollywood creatives stop running their mouths about their own politics and pushing those politics into every thing they create.
why not try waiting until the film comes out to complain about the political messaging you think it is pushing?
you would think people woulda learned after the Odyssey not to believe the worst of everything based off a quote or casting choice

I didn't complain about this future film at all, I commented on your made-up maga threads about an innocuous movie scene. And this post is just more gatekeeping on your part anyway. "You can't say anything yet, the movie isn't out." No but the director is talking about it. But you say we're not supposed to talk about that either. So what can we talk about, Mr. Imaginary Maga Hater?

Why the frick are you laughing, I've never said anything about Trump or Epstein on this board. Why are you inventing stuff to be mad about? Stop being dumb.

It's a pattern. Some people here will just lie and claim you said something; there's a damn search function. If someone said something, quote it and respond. Making shite up is for liars and lazy people.

didn’t see the first two movies did you?

In the second one they say the south was bad and the civil war was over slavery
Nobody cared. But that exact same thing today would be considered “interjecting politics” and this board would likely be pretty upset

Turtletaub shared his vision on a Reddit ama. Leslie Jones’ character is going to burn the constitution and declare it invalid for being written by slave owning wypipo.

1. The point of the movie wasn't that at all, it didn't feel like a bludgeon, or preachy. It didn't make an aggressive moral perspective on that point, it was just a perspective. And it left modern southerners out of its critique.
2. National Treasure was it's own thing, creating its own thing. It wasn't shifting modern politics into some remake or different version of a thing that existed.
3. Since every movie wasn't making heavy political/moral/ethical statements, it didn't feel like a repeated message.
The movie made no real aggressive move against modern people, modern politics, or tried to conflate all people of one kind into one side.
We hadn't entered the age of "everyone who disagrees with me is Hitler" yet.

Though he did not offer many details about the third film, Turteltaub predicted that it would inevitably have to address modern politics.
here is my WAY too early prediction on the plot. Page 47 of the Book of Secrets means it would have been early in the countries history. So it will either be something that would have given more power to Native Indians or to Black Slaves. The last president being ultra liberal that wanted it looked into, the new president is going to be ultra conservative and want it destroyed. So Nic Cage will have to go on his quest to recover the ancient thing in order to save it from the evil regime like Indiana Jones versus the Nazis.
I think it will play more to slavery than to the Native Indians since they had their go with he city of gold.

I’m just here to say it’s the least surprising thing ever that gallo is falsely attributing quotes by a film critic to the director and claiming the director didn’t say the thing when we have a direct quote from the director saying said thing
holy runon

It doesn’t even matter anymore. You can’t just make a normal movie these days without some left or right leaning yokel tearing it apart for its supposed political stance. I think that’s pretty much what the director was trying to say.
By the way, he had a pretty sick three movie run of 3 Ninjas, Cool Runnings, and While You Were Sleeping.

But it's not always "supposed".
What do you think he's pretty much trying to say here?

I don't remember this happening for Top Gun: Maverick
It took zero political stances and just gave us a pretty universally loved action movie
