So essentially, it comes to disassociation and the dumbing down of the herd to child like mindlessness for most, or a simple need for 'hope' in a seemingly hopeless world collapsing around them.
One reason for an artist not to say exactly what their intention or meaning for any specific thing may be is because it means different things to different people, as, knowingly or not, they are accessing archetypes of infinite depth and to put a label on it is rather limiting artisticly and financially, as the public may not show the same enthusiasm for the product if defined in a manner not congruent to their own. It makes better business sense to keep such limiting factors of definition to a minimum, as every artist needs to survive to do their thing... ie, make money. ;) Some of them will mention this, both the money and/or the archetypal aspect, and some of them have learned to shut up if they know what's good for them. Doesn't that sound familiar? It's hard to say how many of them really know what they are tapping into, but then when dealing with archetypes, can we really say any different? All we see is the outer form of their expression. They may give interviews expressing their intent without realizing its true depth.... exoteric circle vs meso vs esoteric circles of understanding. Of course, a lot of it is just copying or imitating the work of others for better or for worse, if it has been proven successful or if it's become the accepted norms of a genre, which stand as is, until another artist breaks the mode... same in any field. If you look over the career of an artist, their journey can usually be seen, same as for anyone. How deep can they go? How much can they access? One question in many of these big budget films is how much do they know, if they really know what they are dealing with, and how much can they express in their work? When do the controls enter the picture as a limiting device? And in Hollywood, the moneymen make that determination, leading us back to the banks et al... puppetmasters, sheep herders etc. The whole superhero phenomenon in recent decades seem to mirror society, it's popularity increases as society decays, as the song goes: "We need a hero..." But that was a couple of decades ago, nowadays the song goes: "We could be heroes...." indicating that we are not. Back to disassociation. The chart pattern showing increased interest in superhero storylines, along with doomsday ones, have gone parabolic, especially as the market went global in film distribution again, not seen since the silent era. As they become more popular, society decays in the same inverse curve or wave as the chart showing our mostly Western stock/bond markets going parabolic while simultaneously, the economy goes back in recession. You have to be disassociated to deal with that, and the utilization of superheroes seems like that story of the black magician hypnotizing his sheep to think they are heroes, when they are anything but.
If the character is an immature psychopath, perhaps that in itself is rather telling of this process of decay, as even the psychos need time and space to 'mature' into their adult predator form... and time is running out for everyone, even them, and so many projects these days are promoting the as the new 'hero' of our culture, and isn't that rather telling of the state of our societal decay? The warning signs have been in Hollywood films for quite some time as the disaster movies started around the same time as the early predictions on the next ice age began and Superman came back into American consciousness to help us believe highly of ourselves, to mask our real reflections in the mirror, and all these masks of being special fits right in with the agenda to harvest the herd. That said, the name of this project itself, "Avengers" is rather telling isn't it? Who is being 'avenged'? Isn't it usually the inverse of truth being portrayed in these films? Captain America, and it sells overseas!
OMG! All of it reminds me of the free will aspect of being warned, and our ignoring these signs or warnings are then our own choice... as meaningless as they usually are when most are asleep, but the rules of engagement are being fulfilled, and again this pattern is reflected on Wall Street when the big boys send out their memos, forecast, etc ahead of time, to keep the herd following their lead... and just now they are forecasting a downdraft for the overpriced market... even the infamous Jamie Dimon!!! So, we can count the days... and perhaps the same is true in Hollywood, which is another instrument of the same agenda of getting the herd to willingly follow their lead. These films are warning us in their own way of impending doom... of a world in need of a superhero to save it, for without it/them, nothing 'good' is possible.... follow, follow and never try to lead.... follow the pied piper, the lying psycho or superhero working on behalf of the PTB, for if they didn't, things would change, right? Or, are these superheroes, superdumb?
