The first movie was pretty bad with how tone deaf it was. It has blatantly been made by the real life equivalent to the main bad guy of the movie while trying to preach against his ways.

It's supposed to be about the characters fighting for their right to freely express themselves, unhindered by evil greedy corporate interests. But almost everyone in that world uses existing corporate owned intellectual properties for their characters. You can almost hear the pitch someone made in a meeting that shoehorning as many popular characters in the movie as possible would make it make more money.
