The fall of the Soviet Union caused a lot of problems such as political and economic disarray, missing nuclear weapons, runaway crime,
387358 006 Air Jordan 2010 Anniversary White Grey Silver(13), that sort of thing but probably the worst thing about it was that moviegoers lost maybe the best bad guy country we’d ever had,
308497 002 Nike Air Jordan 4 IV Retro Black Cat Black Black Light Graphite(14), aside from Nazi Germany. James Bond used to be a lone man taking on a massive evil empire with just his wits and lovemaking skills. Then one day in the 90s he finds himself fighting newspaper owners.

Oh no,
384664 101 Nike Air Jordan 6 VI Retro Oreo White Black(11), he’s going to write something mean about you!

In War Games, a young whippersnapper hacker found himself almost accidentally starting (and then stopping) a war between two superpowers that would have annihilated the earth. Now movie hackers just blow up people’s computers and change traffic lights. Red Dawn was scary in addition to silly because,
136002 132 Nike Air Jordan 13 Xiii Original OG(37), you know, maybe they weren’t going to invade us exactly like that,
528896 101 Air Jordan 11 Low White Varsity Red(47), but you still actually worried they might invade us.

By cloaking themselves behind an impenetrable wall of secrecy (almost like a veil,
310805 026 Air Jordan 10 Retro Bobcats 2014(12), or curtain, made of some kind of metal) Russia freed America’s imagination to fill in the many blanks with details that were 10 times worse than reality. According to the movies, Russia was ahead of us on everything space, missiles, sexy women spies, you name it and at any moment they were poised to burst out and destroy us.

Or break us,
378037 117 Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue White Black Legend Blue(75), as the situation may require.

When they tore down that wall, as Reagan had asked them nicely to do, it was a huge letdown to find out our invincible adversaries had been basically eating their shoes to keep from starving. Shoes they had to wait in line to buy in the first place.

Let’s see you love shoe shopping now, ladies.

Now,
311832 101 Air Jordan 14 Retro White Red(26), the good news is that Russians are just as nostalgic for the old days as action movie lovers (because at least then they had shoes to eat),
136027 004 Nike Air Jordan 5 V Retro Black Metallic Silver Fire Red(17), and have been moving further and further toward old repressive Soviet policies. Not coincidentally, Russian bad guys have started to pop up again in movies like Iron Man 2 and games like Modern Warfare 2. The actual country still isn’t back in top villain form though (where they’d have a massive army of soldiers wearing instead of eating their army boots), which means movie and game makers usually have to go with rogue Russians or Russian mobs.

With fictional Russian villains bailing on us,
Men Size 616175 330 Nike Lebron 11 South Beach(14), fictional terrorists stepped up to fill the gap. It made sense. Terrorists were always bad. They blew up innocent people. You could easily shoot 50 of them in a movie without anyone having to feel guilty.

Or tie them to a missile or whatever.

The only problem is that you could only have about 50 of them. Terrorists were evil, but they were little roving gangs of evil dudes, sneaking around, using whatever weapons they could piece together. You couldn’t have an epic war with them or anything. Bring a horde of missile equipped helicopters to fight a bunch of guys with homemade explosives strapped to their riding lawn mowers and YOU start to look like the bad guy.

Oh yeah, giant missile birds. Those are fair.

When we went to war in Iraq, and then Afghanistan, and then Iraq again,
436771 001 Air Jordan 2011 ALL Black(19), movie producers wet their pants with excitement because they were no longer just stuck with small time terror cells, but actually had real life bad guy armies they could use for big old movie battles. Sure, the factual ties between Iraq and terrorism were a little shaky,
Air Jordan 6 Pantone 2014(15), but the important thing was that audiences basically saw these enemy armies as the big military side of the characters that blow up planes.

And if you’re watching something like Hot Shots!, you’re not thinking too deeply about the moral ambiguity of the Gulf Wars.

But while it was a little easier to play the first Gulf War as bad vs. good,
487471 004 Air Jordan 14 Sport Blue Wolf Grey White Sport Blue(8), by the time we went back again,
310805 106 Air Jordan 10 Powder Blue White Dark Powder Blue Black(4), it was a lot more complicated. So at this point, you can’t tell any kind of war story in the Middle East without accidentally making a political statement. Even the cartooniest action flick is going to be interpreted as "pro war" if you set it in the Middle East without saying anything about the complexity of the situation.

Nobody ever brings up the legitimacy of Nazi zombie claims to land.

After all, as a wise cartoony action flick once said, "Shit just got real." It’s hard to ignore how real and current the situation over there is, so almost all Middle East war movies nowadays are gritty and complex and try to make sense of war. It’s not really any territory for people who just want to make your average bad guys good guys action fest.

In the real world, China is the rising new star on the Western world’s international threat matrix. They’re poised to economically dominate the world, and their military is not too shabby either.

The best example of China becoming the new Russia is Red Dawn,
136064 123 Air Jordan 3 Infrared 23 White Cement Grey Infrared 23 Black(5), the iconic Cold War invasion movie,
305869 101 Air Jordan 18 White Sport Royal(30), which was recently being remade with China literally replacing Russia.

Unfortunately they ran into a snag: While we had a "Cold War" with the Soviet Union,
136085 070 Air Jordan 1 Retro Black Metallic Gold(13), our differences with China are more like a "Passive Aggressive Catfight." We’re not actually physically fighting China anywhere in the world, and neither country seems to even be thinking about it. Instead, we’re duking it out with snide comments and aggressive economic policies.

And a little bit of lead poisoning.

We’re actually talking to and trading with China, and although we have a lot of arguments about that trade, nobody wants to see it stopped. So pretty much anyone that likes making big money in the global economy can feel the squeeze when they want to talk shit about China. Including movie studios.

That’s why the new Red Dawn is being hurriedly edited in post production to remove all references to China and change the bad guys to ,
315371 061 Air Jordan Spizike Black Red Green(8). North Korea.

Whoever his agent is,
310805 061 Nike Air Jordan 10 X Retro Shadow(22), he deserves a raise.

Considering that North Korea doesn’t even have the boats to send an invading army over here (or the shoes to feed them), the movie’s marketing is also being changed from action to comedy.

It’s not just Hollywood that’s scared. The new game Homefront also caved under pressure to switch its baddies from China to Korea, but at least they had the sense to have the two Koreas unite in the game’s alternate reality,
136027 121 Nike Air Jordan 5 V Retro White Patent Dark Army Del Sol(1), so only half of our invaders are starving to death and would defect the moment they saw a Dairy Queen.
