Part 6/14:
A significant theme explored is the ideological shift from clear moral dichotomies ("good" versus "evil") to a "gray" morality where everyone's motives are nuanced and personal. Leslie’s approach, it’s argued, promotes the idea that bad and good are subjective, depending on individual perception, reflecting the advocacy for moral relativism.
Leslie is portrayed as someone driven by her emotions and personal identity, with an emphasis on relatability over traditional heroic archetypes. The critique suggests that this shift dilutes the franchise's moral clarity, replacing it with complex, ambiguous characters who may justify villainy based on their personal stories.
