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.
Especially for stuff that’s incredibly dumbed down shit like Star Wars and HP. It’s abundantly clear too given whenever a Star Wars movie adds any nuance, fan boys complain it deviates from the formula
It's only human to view the world through the lens of the stories in our popular conscience. If anything, the issue is just that the stories in our popular conscience are garbage and are becoming increasing beholden to Capitalist interests and consumerism in general.
