Serious question: how is it possible that CIA is presented in good light in movies? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've seen literally countless movies just this year that have CIA presented as ''good'', helping the protagonist, the protagonist or some of the main characters is''ex-CIA'' or currently employed or has some connections to it or is at least just mentioned etc, you get the point.

How is it possible that terrorist organization is constantly ''positive'' in movies and casually presented like that, that is like showing Gestapo or ISIS as ''good guys''.

And it's literally thousands of movies with essentially the same fucking plot over and over again . How does no one notice after all this time or bats an eye about terrorist organization being shown in any other way than, you know, terrorist filled with lowest and worst scums in history that should be destroyed?

I don't even know how do people not notice, complain and put a stop to it.

American movies have an ambiance unique to theirs that is easy to catch with a bit of experience.

And it baffles me that literally every yankee action movie is the same, like don’t they have something else to film/invent new scrip?

It is the formula that generates the most revenue. Capitalism and so on.

That's the most ridiculous thing, who tf even pays to watch the same thing for 100 billionth time?

Redditors, funko pop collectors and other folk with a passion for generic Marvel movies.

Honestly I do not know why you ask me. It is well known.

Funko and Marvel lmao

Yes I know, but it's totally absurd that people pay to watch the same thing over and over again for millions of times while completely ignoring terrorist organization being presented as good.

It is frustrating, but not absurd. There is a reason why it happens, and you need to understand that (and capitalism in general) to know how to combat it.
