    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.

      Come on now. You think Hollywood execs have the balls to turn down money from China?

    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.

    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.

    None. New gen Hollywood will be so politically correct that there will only be remakes of Bambi without the hunters.

        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.
