Definitely. More meant to highlight the Scalzi take, than Morgan Freeman’s character. And frankly, any dissension of the form “X is problematic” is a solid argument against putting anyone on pedestals. I’m probably thwacking a dead idea at this point, but hero worship is toxic and bad for the gander.

(And think the best way to respect him is by not doing so.)

(Almost, but not quite).
What an exciting time!
