#2 Next Hollywood villain will be a white Christian American who supports Hong Kong and Taiwan.

#4 /\ They tend to start successful small businesses. This clearly violates the current wealthy oligarch model, but you knew that.

#5 Hollywood running out of villans? Hardly. There's Trump...LTG Flynn..."insurrectionists"...Proud Boys...GOPers in general.

#6 Hollywood long ago made white Englishmen, Russians and nordics generally their Ur-villains

#8 I suspect an international cabal of white folk (some with vaguely German/Jewish names) fighting against globalism (and socialism) would make the ideal Hollywood villains. Give such a group a name like Spectre or Trumpster and you're ready to go.

#9 If America asked them to censor there would be angry denunciations and outraged speeches at the Oscars.

China didn't even ask them. They did it themselves. The word for this is finlandization. The only way they get outraged is if you point it out to them.

#10 No they aren't. They just refuse to use the villians filling up hollywood studios and their masters the CCP.

#12 The bleak Hollywood masterpiece that attacked 'fake news'

#13 ^ Another more recent one was 'Richard Jewell' by Eastwood. It explored the typical feeb mentality too. I really liked how it was made.

Sum of All Fears - the movie.

#15 So, we'll be seeing more Terminator reboots...

Predator: The Musical was kind of good, or at least clever.

#16 Hollywood will have to hire a new batch of way-out script writers with attitude, if they are going to survive...perhaps

#17 Hollywood isn't interested in telling stories, because good stories require risk. Risk is what makes a story compelling. Hollywood is going to perceived market share; trying to appeal to everyone makes a generic story. Its why there is so much re-treading, or as it is called in Jean Claude Van Johnson, re-imagining, such as the last 3 Star Wars movies being re-imaginings of the original trilogy.

Compounding Hollywood's appeal is actors/actresses/(actrex? wtfc) chosen by Woke Boxes before talent, appeal, or even typecast.

There are still good storytellers out there. I laughed my ass off all the way through Psycho Goreman. I asked the guy next to me to pinch me in case I was dreaming.

#18 ^
I've done some thinking about what you just wrote...
I think you are on to something here.
Retread Stories make money, creativity is risk, why bother with new ideas, it makes your headache.
