I think that it shouldn’t surprise anybody that James Bond, Top Gun and the movie adaptions of Tom Clancy stories were funded by the Pentagon…Firestarter wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2016 4:55 pmThe following site tells how the following 11 movies (since 2001) are all US propaganda (many with the help of CIA and/or Pentagon) – Pearl Harbor, The Sum of all fears, United 93, The hurt locker, Iron man, Skyfall, Zero dark thirty, Argo, Captain Philips, The interview, American sniper
Several of the biggest film franchises were made under control of the Pentagon.

https://www.spyculture.com/the-pentagon ... ranchises/4 of the 10 biggest film franchises in the world have received major support from government agencies – James Bond, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fast and Furious and Transformers. 2 more have received some kind of assistance or involvement, at least from the DOD – Batman and Pirates of the Caribbean. The other top 10 film franchises – Spider-Man, Harry Potter and the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings series – do not show signs of being assisted by government agencies.
Completing the 10, nor has Star Wars, though the new episode The Force Awakens has been made by seasoned producer of state-sponsored entertainment JJ Abrams. For the first time in the series the film’s credits lists a ‘military advisor’ – Paul Hornsby, a former British military intelligence officer and SBS soldier. Hornsby has also worked on Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Tarzan, Snow White, Hercules and The Chronicles of Narnia. Suitably, given his prominent work on fantasy films, doubts have been cast on whether Hornsby is who he claims to be.
If we consider the rest of the top 25 biggest film franchises then we can include Jurassic Park, X-Men, Mission: Impossible, Indiana Jones, Star Trek and the Terminator series to the list of those mega-franchises that have received DOD and/or other major government assistance in reaching such heights. Given that some franchises are counted multiple times (e.g. Iron Man, The Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe are all separate entries in the top 25) a total of 14 of the top 25 film series have had documented government support on at least one movie.

From Top Gun and the Call of Duty video games, to GI Joe, America is chock-full of militarized media that glorify war and manufacture public consent for the Military Industrial Complex.
And most of those predictable Marvel superhero movies were of course also part of the military entertainment complex.
At least 6 Marvel movies were made with financial support from the US military — including Iron Man (2008) 1 and 2, Captain America (2011), Captain Marvel (2019), and Avengers (2012): https://inkstickmedia.com/marvels-milit ... l-complex/
There is also another strange Marvel connection to the US Department of Defense.

The Mar-a-Lago troika is led by Ike Perlmutter, chairman of Marvel Entertainment; a longtime acquaintance of Donald Trump and close to Donald’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
President Donald has appointed Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight as 'Special Ambassadors' to 'troubled' Hollywood, to … Make America Retarded Again.
I’ve previously posted about Stallone and his bodyguard having sex with a 16-year-old girl and Stallone being accused by his half-sister of sexually abusing her for years: viewtopic.php?p=4459#p4459
I’ve also previously posted about Voight’s famous daughter, Angelina Jolie, being initiated into a secret society in a sick S&M ritual: viewtopic.php?p=4205#p4205
And Mel Gibson, like Stallone and Marvel heroes, is one of the elderly male celebrities that has taken steroids to look more muscular.
Gibson denied that he was using steroids, while in September 2013 he was spotted at the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation centre, a hormone replacement clinic.
Mel Gibson has had some what look like “roid rage” incidents: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/a ... -week.html
