Honestly. With the direction things are going?
Democrats. Especially ‘socialists.’ Woke people. Though in disguise, at first.
And yes, this is salty take, but consider showing 2025 to someone in 2005.
Had this same feeling.
Russians, Chinese, anything from the middle east that’s not Israel… Anyone except the US basically.
Come on now. You think Hollywood execs have the balls to turn down money from China?
Which fragment of the US?
The humans.
X-Men inbound!
The Russians are pushing to take back the spot the Talibans took from them in 2001, meanwhile China is making a strong argument for it too.
American/Western moral relativism has reached such heights that they already made heroic protagonists out of the villains of all popular stories/recognizable IPs, lol.
What’s left? Mmm. Talking ethnoculturally, probably East and West Asians. And Muslims, of course.
depends on the genre, copaganda/military propaganda/us govtganda, mostly going to be ME and russians villians. even mcu/dcu are based on either nazis or russians.
No real figures is my prediction. Future villains will be made up sanctions that at best could be seen as narrative parallels to existing people/countries/groups.
Chinese Robots
None. New gen Hollywood will be so politically correct that there will only be remakes of Bambi without the hunters.
or bambi hunting the hunters.
I’d totally watch a movie about Bambi hunting the hunters.

Bambi’s public domain now.
family guy version, shouldve taken the shot fatass.
No, too controversial. More than the original, if anything. Hollywood is avoiding anything like that.
Bambi breaks no laws and respect’s other peoples opinions about the off-screen hunting, and there’s nods to “traditional family values” and how great the old days were because they know who’s in charge now.
I remember seeing a 9/11 era comedy sketch about how the US government keeps changing who the bad guys are, and the punchline was everyone in the future worrying about the “evil Canadian empire”. We’re not there yet, but I can see a pretty clear trajectory that ends in us as a “communist” adversary.
