There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and when they do that you sometimes flatten out.
If you stand up and be counted from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.
For Mythology is the handmaid of literature and literature is one of the best allies of virtue and promoters of happiness.
