    First Kingsmen had a lot of boilerplate Hero’s Journey stuff in it, but the second one where the villain was anti-marijuana set a pattern with the villains.

    When the world government spy agencies fail, it will take a private option one to save the day.

    The main character is from a low social standing family, but is discovered by said “private option” and uplifted. Normally, this is just Hero’s Journey stuff, but it matches perfectly with libertarian ideas.

    I side eyed the extremist environmentalist villain in the first movie, but making the second villain anti-marijuana is more libertarianism.

    I don’t find Mark Millar very interesting, but when someone about him does come my way, he comes across as a very simple minded person.
