I think that regardless of how Tradition is ever portrayed, it will always be repellent to the progressive / liberal types. Traditionalists will always look bad to people with such mentality, no matter what.

There is no way Tradition can "look good" and be appealing to the sentimental worldlings anyway, and that is OK.

Vatican II was an example of the Church trying to "look good" to the world. It failed.

Let's put it this way -- if the character is portrayed in such a way that I am personally repulsed, turned off, disgusted even though I am deeply invested in the Trad movement, then YES it's bad.
Think CNN propaganda. Even fervent Trump supporters would have a hard time considering him anything less than a devil incarnate after reading CNN.com for as little as 5 minutes. It's the lies, distortions, and false portrayals that are the issue.

Now if a character were to be objectively attractive (in the movie we're talking about, let's say he's strong, anti-liberal, anti-feminist, masculine, etc.) which caused modern liberals to be viscerally repulsed, that is a COMPLETELY different story. Because at least then the portrayal would be accurate -- and many viewers of good will could be influenced and have their eyes opened.

There is no way Tradition can "look good" and be appealing to the sentimental worldlings anyway, and that is OK.

What's funny, though, is that I've seen a number of modern films that, when showing a Catholic Liturgy in progress, make it look like a Traditional Mass (not sure if they were Tridentine or Novus Ordo Latin).  But even secular Hollywood recognizes the superior aesthetics of a Traditional Mass vs. the banal uninteresting Novus Ordo liturgical celebration.

Indeed...

Hollywood recognizes the mysterious aspect of Traditionalism that is lacking in clown masses.
However, even Hollywood cannot duplicate the Sacred Mystery.
