I dislike POTC 4, so I don't even care in this case. As someone who despises most religions I actually find the thing you mention in POTC 4 sort of amusing though.
I am not a Christian either but they would not to do that a Muslim guy and in the story it is specifically mentioned he is a Christian so I mean, why even highlight it?
The main issue is this is the "white male lead" and he is a complete feeb.
But superheroes have been going that way too.
I stopped watching them because I am not interested in whether Iron Man and Captain America will fight because one wants to sign a document and the other doesn't.
Jesus Christ superstar, this kind of storytelling is pathetic especially for something aimed at kids.
I just said that I dislike POTC 4, so it is a moot point. The dominant religion in the U.S. is Christianity though, not Islam. Say what you want, but the only reason people keep going back to this franchise is because of Johnny Depp amd pirate action. Nobody else is paying attention to the stuff you are in the POTC franchise. It is just silly popcorn entertainment. Anyone who is looking deeper is misguided.
Some superhero movies have been going in that direction, but that doesn't mean I think they aren't good movies at the same time. Movies have more to offer than just one thing, which is why my taste is so broad. You are just focusing on the one thing, but there is also the entertainment factor and how well made a movie is.
I will concede that I agree with you with some of your concerns, but try to look at it from tghe perspective of the groups that have been marginalized through most of the history of the U.S.
Why shouldn't women and other races get the same treatment that male characters have gotten forever? I can sympathize even if I don't agree with the way it is being handled.
