Recently watched Ron's Gone Wrong and as far as children's films commenting on social media go, I do really appreciate its nuance. Like the lesson it takes away isn't "social media is inherently bad and evil" but rather "social media sites try to use algorithms to maximize engagement for profit and does so by isolating you from external socialization and only trying to connect people based solely on common interests that can be marketed to without accounting for compatible personalities or general human abnormalities. But it has the capacity to better foster solid healthy friendships if it's allowed to be a little imperfect and not 100% optimized so that it leaves room for people to form relationships without it."
And like, that's an extremely nuanced take for a children's movie that actually does feel like it engages with what social media does underlyingly. That's not even getting to how kids are being incentivized to kinda form weird reverse parasocial relationships where they perform to become popular on social media for the approval of hundreds, thousands, and sometimes millions of people they have mostly no individual relationships with which the film also touches on
