Really you would think ‘woops! Accidentally made my obvious fascist analogues a bunch of physically deformed substance abusing perverts and gender nonconforming decadent schemers who are simultaneously pathetic and contemptible and a sinister and shadowy conspiracy threatening everything that’s good and righteous’ would be a pretty easy mistake to avoid, and yet

Related but distinct to the also incredibly common 'woops! I accidentally made my analogue for fascism an endless horde of literally inhuman alien Others who want nothing more than to overwhelm and destroy the heroes culture and civilization, savage and brutish or uniform and robotic but in either case totally devoid of individuality except for a few cartoonishly malevolent, larger-than-life leaders.’

I’ve long been amused that the place of “Nazis” in American cinema is “disindividuated masses to be brutally exterminated en masse without compunction” even in works where that’s explicitly framed as the moral issue with Nazis
