Children's media or no, it's just dumb as hell to compare things in the real world with all its complexities and history to what is at best a two dimensional narrative portrayed in pop media. This is the exact type of thing so many post modern thinkers criticize, where people in our image obsessed culture see only images based on things instead of the things in themselves. It's okay to like these things, but for the love of God don't build your life around them and see the world through that lens.

A lot of yanks are Liberty Prime from Fallout 3 unironically. "Death is a preferable alternative to Communism," and you see that with the reactions to even mild life-saving reforms. Sad to see, really.
