(Rich Polk \/ Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>  \u00a0By Bryan Chai   \u00a0May 16, 2023 at 3:26pm      For all of the doom and gloom surrounding the culture war, and what has and hasn\u2019t been lost to it, here\u2019s a bit of good news: One of the top actors in all of Hollywood is a proud and outspoken Christian.<\/p>\n<p> To be clear, this isn\u2019t a Christian actor headlining a relative smash success like \u201cJesus Revolution,\u201d this is a Christian actor headlining bona fide commercial blockbusters.<\/p>\n<p> Those blockbusters include movies like the \u201cJurassic World\u201d trilogy, the wildly successful \u201cThe Super Mario Bros. Movie,\u201d and a number of Marvel\u2019s biggest movies, such as \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d and the \u201cAvengers\u201d movies.<\/p>\n<p>  The man at the center of most of those movies? Chris Pratt.<\/p>\n<p> The one-time sitcom funnyman turned action-movie star has taken Hollywood by storm, despite never falling into the same kind of leftist drivel that so many in the Hollywood cesspool love.<\/p>\n<p>   Indeed, there are generally no overt messages in Pratt\u2019s flicks. All three \u201cJurassic World\u201d movies were largely about dinosaurs. The \u201cSuper Mario\u201d movie was actually criticized for not\u00a0packing more of a social-justice punch.<\/p>\n<p> And Marvel, despite its horrific track record when it comes to \u201cwoke\u201d leftism in its movies, has found itself with another Pratt-led hit on its hands after \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3\u201d has snapped a string of poorly received Marvel projects.<\/p>\n<p>  According to movie review site Rotten Tomatoes, after two weekends in theaters, the third \u201cGuardians\u201d movie sits at $529 million across the global box office.<\/p>\n<p>  Will Hollywood learn from the dominant summer of non-woke films?<\/p>\n<p>     The movie does need to hit $750 million to be profitable.<\/p>\n<p> Given that Pratt\u2019s last major movie, \u201cThe Super Mario Bros. Movie,\u201d is sitting at a cool billion dollars at the box office, and the third \u201cGuardians\u201d movie is already two-thirds of the way to profitability after just two weeks in theater, the chances seem likely that the movie\u2019s ledger will get to the black.<\/p>\n<p> Of course, all of the box office success in the world doesn\u2019t mean much of the movie is really just a Trojan horse for a cache of leftist ideologies.<\/p>\n<p> Again, despite Disney being Marvel\u2019s parent company, the third \u201cGuardians\u201d movie largely avoids any leftist tropes or shoehorning.<\/p>\n<p>  This writer went to see the movie with his wife and found that the closest the movie ever hewed to LGBT propaganda was a gag bit about a homosexual relationship. Shockingly, the punchline of the gag was actually an expression of disgust toward homosexuality.<\/p>\n<p> The LGBT left has celebrated the inclusion of a gay character in a post-credit scene, but it feels like a bit of projection on their behalf. The character\u2019s full name and sexuality are never addressed in the brief moment the character appears on-screen (the comic book source the character is based on is gay.) It\u2019s also a post-credit scene, so you can easily leave as the credits begin to roll and not miss a single story beat.<\/p>\n<p>  Big picture: Pratt appears to have stumbled onto quite a formula for himself: Big franchises, big action, big entertainment and non-existent social justice messaging.<\/p>\n<p> It helps that, no matter the successes or failures he experiences, Pratt has always been quick to give all praise to God and Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>  It was just a scant week or so ago that Pratt was on the promotional tour for \u201cGuardians,\u201d and he was quoting Biblical scripture as part of those interviews.<\/p>\n<p> Pratt even quoted the Book of Joshua when tweeting out about a piece on \u201cGuardians\u201d by The Hollywood Reporter:<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cWhen they gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Joshua 6:20 @Guardians @THR pic.twitter.com\/PuqtqdJDOz<\/p>\n<p> \u2014 Chris Pratt (@prattprattpratt) April 26, 2023<\/p>\n<p>    Look, there\u2019s a point to be made about keeping your impressionable children away from mass produced, leftist drivel from the likes of Disney and Marvel. But that\u2019s a tough battle when \u201cpop culture\u201d is a very real and important thing, particularly for younger kids. (It\u2019s certainly not an impossible battle, mind you.)<\/p>\n<p> But having a strong, outspoken Christian like Pratt being the lead man in these movies certainly helps with that never-ending culture war.<\/p>\n<p> It sounds asinine, but things like quoting scripture in interviews and on Twitter matter. If that helps even one young social media addict wonder aloud, \u201cWhat the heck happened in Joshua 6:20 where people took a collapsing city?\u201d then that\u2019s important and good work.<\/p>\n<p> Seeing that work be rewarded with massive box office receipts is just the icing on the cake for an actor like Pratt.<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Bryan Chai has written news and sports for The Western Journal for more than five years and has produced more than 1,300 stories.
