I think their agenda is close to what I mentioned earlier: to establish a new normal where guys like Indiana Jones are ultimately viewed as harmful and dangerous.
The huge problem in this article is the generalization of Ford's roles.
Yes, Deckard is harmful and dangerous.
Solo is someone who presents himself as dangerous, but deep down has a heart of gold.
And Indy?
Well, he's a teacher.
Seeing that Indiana Jones was a teacher, and cool, made me want to become a teacher.
Can't have that, now can we. Harmful and dangerous. Young people might actually start to think...
No indeed, let's stick to the values that Disney teaches us.
Frozen indeed. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie, but apart from telling us that society is naturally divided between a ruling elite and a working class (pretty accurate) it shows us that what you really need to succeed in life is magic. Not hard work.
But my personal favorite has to be the little mermaid. Again Iove the movie. But what does it teach kids?
"That it is okay to breach a contract, and if someone disagrees with that then you should just have them killed."
