The satire stuff rides along side the issues I have with it. The villains of the first two movies are libertarian boogiemen and the finer aspects of how the MC rises to a higher standing also matches libertarian ideas.
The action is fun and the characters and the dialog are good. Maybe they didn’t need to remind the audience that this isn’t Bond so much, but what the villains represent sets off red flags for me.
I mean, I guess. Short story time: My mom can’t watch King of the Hill. She knows, on an intellectual level, that Hank is supposed to be the butt of the joke. It doesn’t matter. She still doesn’t enjoy watching it. She finds the experience to be unpleasant to watch. She has the same problem with Archer as well, but I haven’t seen as much of that.
More that I don’t trust Mark Millar and I’m sick of passive, bad ethics in main stream media. I’m sick of heroes that fight for the status quo and I’m especially sick of environmentalist villains. I can only imagine how pissed I would be if I was still watching Doctor Who when they aired their “The Interstellar Song Contest” episode.

If it’s like that for you, then I fully get it.

I don’t really watch Doctor Who so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
