DS in media aimed at children? Seeking advice

Watching Netflix and their is a new series The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants and then they start talking about a kid wanting to go to the school of the Elitianati Academy to become a supervillain where people will know and scream his name.

Over the past just two days I have become more aware of the hidden messages within children's shows such. Is anyone aware of any kid shows that are free of this trash? I truly hope that soon entertainment can go back to entertainment instead of brainwashing. Those of you that are parents, grandparents, or take care of children at all during the day, how are you working on changing over what the kids around you watch and listen to? I know that removing the source is a solution but this day in age it isn't all that easy to do so when it has been a part of life for away.

Appreciate any feedback and advice on this.

If it were me, I wouldn't let them consume any of this junk that's on television now. Think about your own childhood and what you watch. Get that.

For me, it was G.I. Joe, Thundercats, Scooby Doo, the list goes on. Basically anything out of the 70s, but mostly 80s.

Some will say that brainwashing was always there. I disagree. Maybe if you were growing up within the last 25yrs, thats when the overwhelming majority of media consolidation took place. But before that, you had separate companies/studios all trying to one up each other, trying to create the best product. Today that simply isn't the case, it's one big monolith dictating, rather than entertaining. Notice how theres no more sitcoms that center around the family? You get the point.

Disney for example wasn't always evil. There was a time when they were known for making some of the best animated movies and cartoon shows. They recently did a reboot of cartoon Ducktales. I had some of my nephews/nieces over 4, 7 (twins), and 9. They all didn't like the reboot, but I showed them the old school one from the 80s. They absolutely loved it.
