Hot take: Iron Man was the most culturally AND politically damaging movie of the by 21st century 11/28/2025, 3:51am PST
Runner up: The Dark Knight

While DK did give us sloppy blowjobs to the surveillance state, the first steps of a screenwriter obsessed with the idea that Occupy Wall Street was a terrorist movement, and a future generation of groypers who missed the point and rooted for the villain


Iron Man would go on to kick tech billionaire hero worship into overdrive, pave the way for Musk worshippers like Bene Gesserit missionaries, poison the majority of future fiction with Joss Whedon disease, and not only people who missed the point by rooting for the dogshit hero at the start of his arc, but a hero who remained dogshit at the end of it. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman and the entire stupidest dystopia AI boom. I'm blaming it all on this movie.
