Just because Hollywood is generally not right wing doesn't make them left wing. It depends. There's a lot of messaging packed into all of them, and I don't know how much is deliberate. Have you seen S. Craig Zahler movies?

I always liked the Disaster Movie trope, it's a real glimpse into the death drive of Americans. Obviously Americans arent the only ones making disaster movies, but we do make the best ones

There's a huge amount of shit to unpack in a lot of movies. Avengers films are chock full of mostly right-wing stereotypes, but so are the comics they're based on

lol give me a break

edit:
Are you talking about Burt Reynolds? he brought film-making to Georgia, as whats-his-face once said.. Smokey and the Bandit is documentary. But even then it is still Left-Wing. It's acting and media, its a falsehood for entertainment or story telling. An imitation of life. Please stop this nonsense argument.

I don't think it's a stretch to say the ideological content of a movie or tv show depends heavily on the script and the director

So it depends on the movie or tv show. Right wing tropes not being as welcome in Hollywood now as they were fifty years ago is good for the bottom line because culture at large in America is liberal. Even the right wing dudes recognize this, otherwise they wouldn't be whining about how they can't express their white pride without consequences. They have to bake it into the crust of the film, they can't just openly say it like John Wayne used to

So, yeah, now movies still have shitloads of pro-police and pro-military arguments

You're probably mistaking neoliberalism for leftism. A common mistake (deliberate psyop) by conservatives online

Imagine being out in the middle of a forest and you see a man with a hard-hat and chainsaw, he is busy cutting down a tree. You stop him and share this argument with him, what do you think he would say?

Pretty much what I was thinking.
