    4 in particular I think is more open to interpretation based on ones existing biases than people seem to think. Being over the top doesn’t necessarily have to be mockery and authorial intent is peanuts to a random personwatching a movie.

    The other points IIRC are individual moments rather than recurring themes. It’s not surprising to me that significant numbers of people overlook them.
