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.

No it is not misguided. People wondered why Luke was such a failure in the Star Wars movie. You can see the trends of media ownership.

This is easy to predict because they cannot back away from their limited story and character range. It's incestuous and cannibalistic (I admit it is kind of fascinating to watch as a sociological and biological phenomenon).

Thus 007 has to be a black woman because they are incapable of thinking beyond their limits. They will not go back into tradition--like an abstract artist who rejects a 1000 years of art history (and audience taste). Or a writer who is illiterate.

This has nothing to do with what the public likes, or giving artists freedom to create. It's limitations caused by the narrow ownership and their, how shall we say, lack of respect for their customer.

The Wild Geese was made outside of Hollywood. Even in 1978 Hollywood would not have touched that story with a ten foot pole (and it had political progressive ingredients too, just not enough for Hollywood).

The POTC movies up until 4 gave me exactly what I wanted, so Hollywood was doing a great service in that case. Same with many Hollywood movies. Indie movies I am more interested in in general, because they are allowed to be much more creative. Classic era Hollywood was much more consistent though.

You need to lighten up.
