Euronews Portugal8 September 2026 at 09:03

The article addresses the use of pop culture references in political contexts, specifically a comparison between Donald Trump and the superhero Green Lantern. The central criticism focuses on an AI-generated sequence that uses this pop culture icon without respecting the basic principles of the original work. The text alerts to the problem of using cultural references in an abusive way, without adequate knowledge of their origin or meaning. The author argues that, when using known characters or symbols, it is fundamental to understand at least the fundamental principle of the work from which they were taken.
