Since it's 9/11 I was going to make a thread about who did

Cap Murrca Winter Soldier is so post-9/11 you can smell the ashes of ground zero wafting from it.

It's also honestly one of the best capeshit films I've ever seen, it doesn't dwell that hard on the freedom vs security theme but it touches upon it in quite the poignant fashion.

It is interesting how an hero born out of the fight against fascism aboard has been used in modern times against restrictions of liberties domestically. I suppose the entirety of the civil war story line in the comics would have never surfaced without 9/11 even though being discriminated against the way you were born is an american story as much as the melting pot story is.

Reminder that a central plot point in Gasaraki was the United States invading a middle-eastern country to remove weapons of mass destruction that did not actually exist. It was made in 1998, and the actual Iraq War didn't start until 2003.

Also, the reasoning for invading the empire in Legend of the galactic heroes after they had seized the corridor for the first time went, it predicted the rhetoric of justifying the invasion of Iraq right down to calling it a crusade.

But let's not forget that WMDs in Iraq was a prominent political issue in 1998, especially after the late 1997 Desert Fox campaign conducted by America and Great Britain in Iraq until sometime 1998 over the issue of WMDs. The concern over Iraqi WMDs wasn't invented by 9/11 but certainly didn't warrant the 2003 invasion made possible by 9/11.

To be fair that fucking explosion of supernatural energy could have been confused for a nuclear test.

They had a precedent.


It was more of a Gulf War knockoff anyway.
