Here’s the list:
Including his sexual assault victims?
My head canon for the kids anime film Penguin Highway is that the plot is about a visitation by >3 dimensional beings. Adventures in flatland, but we’re living in flatland.
I haven’t yet seen an in-depth interview with Villeneuve where he addresses whether or not he wants to continue making (admittedly thoughtful and overall excellent) adaptations vs original works.
Going back over his filmography, every film since Maelström (2000) (or perhaps Polytechnique in 2009) has been an adaptation of a previous work. I really love the work he does, and I would not want him to be tied down to existing properties. Then again, he may believe that adaptations are where he does his best work.

I have quibbles with many their arguments, including the Rotten Tomatoes demonstration of progressive-leaning media having high critic ratings and low public ratings vs conservative-leaning media being flipped the other way. You make that case by pointing out examples of modern Christian-financed movies and conservative documentaries that don’t completely suck, which they didn’t do.
That said, I’m not arguing that good Christian-financed movies and conservative documentaries don’t exist. They absolutely might, and I’d like to see them if they do. But I also absolutely do not trust the ideologues to fairly or accurately measure quality in that way.
And that’s precisely the problem they’re pointing out with modern Star Wars and Trek. The creators seem to be getting high on their own progressive ideology and forgetting to focus on making great media first, which is SUPER annoying for people who don’t share those views.
I’m a lefty type, and I get it. I’d feel the same way if the genre I loved was flooded with hella conservative content and the creators were parading around its conservatism as a reason it’s so great.
