    The plot of the 3rd movie is also because America or at least partly. The sandman became a criminal because he couldn’t afford care for his incredibly sick daughter otherwise.

    There’s so many movie plots like that too. It’s normalized.

      The live action Lilo and Stitch also has a plot point where Lilo goes to the hospital and Nani can’t pay for it because she doesn’t have insurance. I turned to my mom in the theater and said “this wouldn’t be happening in Canada”

      Also this military installation (I think) surveyed an anomaly during an experiment and they failed to do any kind of follow up. It’s the kind of homer Simpson level of incompetence that the US is known for (at least where I live).
