Formidable mother, who was of course not in the book except at the beginning, but we can't have some random white kid be the star! We need his existence coached on one side by a race swap of a famous white character and on the other side a strong woman to do all the heroic stuff.

I'm not making this up: they will TELL You this is the intention: to change the universal tales of yesterday into political allegories of today.

But maybe one day the fatigue well set in deep enough, the studios will lose their remaining money, and the last person will cancel their subscription to the sycophant media.

This how the circus will stop.

But we can in the mean put a damper on all this running around by using some good old fashioned apathy.

- Oh, you think it's hateful in earlier movies where the one back character is a bug eyed caricature? Then you need to be equally mad about the only white character being a bumbling, self-defacing, constantly apologizing sacrifice to modernity.

- Oh, you don't like it how some movies have religious propaganda? Then you get to complain about movies made for the sole purpose of spreading an ideology to the point internal logic in the production breaks down to make a political point.

-Oh, you don't think black face? Then stop putting white characters in it with race swaps.

And most of all, make stories to tell stories. Make art for the sake of art itself.
