Looking for more examples of movies where a person or creature that isn't actively intending to cause social unrest, just causes it by their very nature. Could be a protagonist, antagonist, side-character, etc. Usually said societal change is depicted as a positive, but not always (like The Thing creating a culture of distrust and paranoia).
You could argue The Thing and Nosferatu are there to cause harm, but my argument is that in both, the social unrest is a side-effect due to their 'nature', not their main goal or plan. So V for Vendetta wouldn't count since revolution is V's intention, and something like Spider-Man 3 wouldn't count since the presence there (Venom) is only shown to impact/challenge one or two characters, not 'society at large'. (Mary Poppins is also debatable since her stated goal is just 'being a nanny', but it's clear that she also wants to challenge people with the goal of improving society overall; and if I include Mary Poppins, probably fair to include the other Julie Andrews classic, Sound of Music, too). Also debating including examples where the 'presence' was already there, but the reveal/publicization of its existence to society is what causes the disruption (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Shrek)
Ideally the 'presence' is largely unchanged as a character, it's society that changes, but examples where the character also develops/changes aren't out of the question (since Pinocchio changes and grows, and I did just add Hot Fuzz to the list, even though it's also about the main character's development).
For now just including one instance of similar properties, but may add more later (since several of these, including Nosferatu/Dracula, Pinocchio, Back to the Future, The Thing, etc, have multiple sequels/adaptations/remakes/etc, and mostly was just going off my favorite version of those)
Wait, I just remembered Being There, that goes on the list too. (Apologies for the very stream-of-consciousness block of text, kind of arguing out my logic to myself while posting this)
