Don’t forget about Japan. They’re also an epicenter of extraterrestrial activity and supernatural disaster
Gojira?
Not my fault the euros don’t know what a culture victory looks like.
We won that one so many times we stopped playing for it.
That’s generally Reddit too. Everything is /r/usdefaultism
Yeah it’s pretty crazy how that American website is so full of Americans and that they have a mostly American-centric point of view.
Anyone ever notice that so many of the comments on Weibo talk about China so much?
Okay but it’s the exact same on Lemmy, even though the devs and the biggest instances aren’t from the US
Also lemmy
There’s a little German peppered in.
Bollywood needs to make more SciFi
What I really hate is when I want to buy something from a website that was linked from a US Youtuber and the only place that hints that they only ship to the US is that you can only select US states in the checkout.

Wait, if you look really closely at that globe, you’ll find New Zealand is missing

Might have been Gaza if made today.
They painted over Maine! Those bastard’s

“Heroes” the TV show was legit pretty good about stretching outside the three largest American cities.
Also “Independence Day” at least flirted with the idea of a global invasion, even if all the action took place in DC and Nevada.
Otherwise… yeah.
Edge of Tomorrow completely tossed most of this habit to the side and at worst didn’t suffer for it, but imo was incredible because of it. One can only see The Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, NYC, etc so many times before it gets old. The Louvre? Flooded and full of aliens? That was new.
This is a bit reductive. You could add in Alaska (blue filter, remote military base, etc…) and Mexico (yellow filter, foreign land, grungy dusty bar).
The fifth element would like a word
