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.

  You don’t even need a movie for that.

    If you turn on the news, you’ll usually get a tragedy or a comedy depending on which way the wind is blowing.

    We also didn’t need multiple movies with Russians as the bad guys, yet here we are.

  They were very careful not to even depict the Soviets as the bad guys, so I think you may have the wrong film series.

  Not like everything is perfect in the UK, you guys are trying to out do the US in government evil doings.

  Most Bond villains are just eccentric billionaires using Sci-Fi technologies to become trillionaires through commodity speculation.

  That’s what Jaime Diamon and Warren Buffett have been doing for the last fifty years.

  If you can’t read that as “US are bad guys” that’s on you, brother

  Nobody stops anyone from making a movie with the USA as a “bad guy”.

  I’m sure N.Korea makes them annually. And many other countries too.

    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
