Visions of Gettysburg

I recently read an article about movies with possible hidden meanings. Some examples go as follows. The x-men films are a parable for gay rights. The Dark Knight is about the war on terror. Aliens is an alegory for the vietnam. war.

Do you see any sybolism in wow or do you have an interpretation of a particle aspect of the game that you believe holds a significant historical value?

I think you’re looking too hard.

Enjoy movies for what they are, entertainment.

Even the “historical” ones are so far out of whack they can’t be taken seriously either.

I heard Snowpiercer was the secret sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

The X-men were created to be a parable for the civil rights movement.

Exactly.

A lot of people think that the hobbit is a prequel to lord of the rings.

No, the Hobbit is about an old guy convincing a dwarf that there is more for him to do in the outside world.

WC1 and 2 were about the cold war (red vs blue). WC3 and WOW were about a multi polar world in which former enemies would fight together, but today we’re back to global polarization, so we get BFA (red vs blue).<

It represents that, despite climate change, the two superpowers are fighting stubbornly.

I think WoW symbolism is likely minimal, unintentional, and at best peripheral.

The X-men isn’t a parable of gay rights. The X-men have superpowers. Gay people are just regular people.

Unless they can do math really well. Then to me, they have superpowers.

As for WoW, it will only align with real life if the endless faction wars stop.
Even for a time.

The X-Men story is a parable about gun rights and people having an irrational fear of something simply because of potential ability to damage them.

They even go so far as to mimic the concept of a registry and the government constantly uses fear of the unknown as a weapon against the protagonist.

Grandpa Joe is the worst pile of human dungheap to have ever existed.

Wonka framed Charlie and stuck him on that train so he wouldn’t talk.

X-Men was created in the era of racial issues, not gun rights. The theme has remained fairly constant since the 60’s but the issues of contention get adapted as needed.

More of an issue is the TV shows about the CIA, FBI, etc. Those are a far more dangerous. Always respect and admire your authority figures citizen, they are here to help.

Thats the thing about the best stories, they can be taken in multiple ways so a lot of different people can relate. We all get to take what we want from them

current writing is too bad to hide anything.
