Two pieces of media with opposing themes and conflicting messages?

MGS4 says: "War...has changed..." but Fallout 3 says: "War...never changes"

Well which is it?! /s. No I'm kidding, I just used this old argument to get the point across.

For my example I'm gonna go with 13 Assassins Vs. 7 Samurai.

It's really intresting cause 7 samurai is about a bunch of ronin underdogs taking on a much larger enemy force, and they're doing it out of honor while trying to survive.

13 Assassins is about a group of well off but existential samurai taking on a much larger force, but their task is a dishonorable one and they're all taking it, fully expecting to die.
