Absolutely, I wasn’t really putting forward commentary on “his” legitimacy or truth in retelling, I was more focusing on the fact that big corporations (that, as a sweeping generalisation are behind most of the world’s atrocities, currently) are trying to simultaneously give us bread and circuses to distract us, and take away our bread and circuses. Have you heard of the licensed critic? It’s when the “state” (usually the state responsible for whatever is happening) sanctions a “critic” to perform criticism of the current status quo that people are unhappy with, but within their boundaries and that criticism usually has no hope folded in to the end, to give the people a message to not try to rise up. Luigi, for instance, seems like a bit of a Robin hood (by legend, not the actual tale) they then make a “actually Robin Hood was the bad guy” movie. (I don’t debate it’s historical legitimacy) more that it seems like a very obvious “don’t get any ideas” by the powers that are currently trying to oppress us.
