Part 7/10:
Many commenters pointed out that Hollywood has shifted away from portraying strong, positive male figures or nuanced gender roles. Instead, recent films tend to portray men as either villains or flawed figures, minimizing positive representations of masculinity. This deficit raises concerns about what messages are being sent to young boys and men via the entertainment they consume.
Some argued that this trend reflects a broader cultural shift where masculinity is viewed as problematic or toxic—a notion that is further reinforced by media and Hollywood's storytelling choices.
