If you want a good example of why right-wingers are unlikely to become influential in the entertainment culture war, google "First Man controversy" and compare the actual movie First Man to
the right's insipid reaction to it without having even seen it.
Even POTUS got in on it (spoiler alert for this one).
First Man is about Neil Armstrong and his struggle to overcome the death of his 2yo daughter (as well as several of his colleagues) while balancing his obligations as a husband and father with the demands of his very dangerous and very public job. It's a great movie (that sounds incredible btw) that hits on a bunch of traditionally conservative touchstones: family, country, work, but the conservative anger mill got butthurt because the filmmakers chose not to show the flag-planting scene in favor of focusing on other, more personal elements of the story. In their minds, one infers, Armstrong can't be treated as a struggling person, but rather can only be rendered as flag-waving American in service of the cartoonish jingoism that so many conservatives perceive to be patriotism. Until conservatives learn how to tell stories without such a simple-minded, ham-fisted agenda, they'll never even the chances in the culture war. Nor would they deserve to.
