I still say conservatives need to make their own entertainment. Furthermore, they need to create a buffer zone. After all, they will be smeared for even attempting to make a story, a movie, etc. and therefore discouraged from challenging the monopoly.

Ben Shapiro made Die Hard in High School and it was nothing more than Second Amendment fellatio about how the only real solution to gun violence was more gun violence. Face it, even the MCu is more rooted in reality than anything the GOP could come up with. But then again, they aren't the most imaginative lot in the first place, are they?

What could that be?
A God’s Not Dead 4 where some man claims to have had a near-death experience where he got a glimpse of Hell?
This man posts a video online where he says “I saw what was meant to be my Punishment In Hell for being a rapist! I was supposed to join other men who in life were sexually less than respectful to women working in a quarry as near-naked slaves, with whip-wielding women in dominatrix gear as overseers*! Before I was revived, getting out of there, I was told ‘You are not ever gonna get to fuck any of the mistresses! You shall just be forever horny, wishing you could!’”

The reason conservatives tend to make bad movies is because they’re creatively uninspired. They cannot fathom how ANYONE could consciously choose to live outside of traditional values, and thus impose “IT MUST BE DEMONS!” or some made up mental illness on those people who just do not want to live according to Judeo-Christian Tradition.
Hence the prevalence of disrespectful cardboard cutout strawmen. The likes of Ben Shapiro cannot comprehend that “the other” is anything other than a collection of hateful tropes they’ve comprehensively put together in their heads.
And, surprise, general audiences do not like a movie where the point is “laugh at these minorities for daring to think they’re equal to US!”, “the solution to everything is MOAR GUNS”, and “women are just breeding slaves who don’t acknowledge it, and they should be chaste servants who do nothing but hold babby and clean up house.”
These ideas are not viewed idyllically by anyone outside conservative circles.
Let alone the revenge porn movies they come up with about people who dare to offend Magical Sky Daddy, like Unplanned .
Ironically, Arnold Schwarzenegger is all for Gun Control.
You know him as The Governator, UnderthoughtFAIL ing. Question: What particular letter was after his name during that period of his political career...?!
...you don't need to answer: for your entire 'argument' looks - then ends up - just like the T-1000 after he fires the 40mm grenade from that M79:
Terminated.
There do exist some good conservative actors. See Clint Eastwood, for instance. They’re just in the minority. Conservative writers and directors, on the other hand, are nearly always quite terrible. The main reason why Hollywood isn’t some liberal paradise is because producers and studio heads are more likely conservative than not, and they have a pretty big say in what gets made and how.
I’m sure that if you segregated Hollywood by broad sociopolitical ideology, then the conservative minority side of it would produce films which hardcore conservatives would love, but would fail to achieve broad appeal. And a lot of them would be rather offensive to the general public, but they wouldn’t be able to understand why.

Granted, I've heard it's better than it has any right to be, certainly better than shit like An American Carol , the God’s Not Dead series or that one bit of fuckery Kevin Sorbo did about how the eeeeeeevil libruls took all the freedoms and now the only thing that can save ‘Murca is family, Jesus and guns. Still, however polished a turd might be, a turd it shall remain.
Thing is, liberals want entertainment tgat makes us think. Not necessarily a deep philosophy of the state of mankind, but we're entertained by, "I never thought of it that way."
Conservatives want their ideals confirmed, they don't want it challenged. It limits entertainment in how many ways one can say, "You're right. Liberal tears! Cancel culture!"
Do you mean further pillarization? And did you notice every ideological system which tried to force art to follow narrow tracks was utterly crap: Socialist Realism, the Reichskulturkammer . Sacred art has qualities only because these priests were smart enough to just ask for the subject and leave the artist do his thing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
