Comment on If the Bond franchise hadn't been sold to Amazon, it was possible we could have seen a movie with the US as the bad guy.

  There’s lot of American movies where the American government is the bad guys…

  The thing with cops and military, is they only cooperate with production if they’re the good guys.

  So it saves money on props like vehicles, uniforms, advisors, etc.

  But still, loads of shows and movies still have the American government as the baddies

    It's rare that the government as a whole is depicted as evil and the "bad guy". It's usually rogue elements within the government like an evil senator or a specific agency
