Anyway, if you want a terrifying look into how media literacy is basically non-exist, enjoy. (Ryan Broderick)

For a bonus treat, here’s another brainiac who tried to argue that Star Wars is a “Christian story” because Anakin Skywalker is “Space Jesus.” And, obviously, the correct response here is, “Sweet sassy molassy, Mike, this makes your ‘Darth Vader is a school shooter’ take seem like a doctoral thesis.” Your words, not mine!
