Why cant anyone but the Americans save the planet?!


Seriously...

Where are the UK movies where UK citizens save the planet?

Where are the Bangladesh movies where Bangladesh citizens save the planet?

Where are the Chile movies where Chile citizens save the planet?

Where are the Germany movies where Germany saves the planet?

Where are the Zaire movies where Zaire saves the planet?

You see what I'm getting at here? No nation in the world is capable of saving the planet EXCEPT the United States of America, the sole global superpower in 2013, with the resources and the military might to get the job done.

That said, even with all of today's technology is would be IMPOSSIBLE to restart Earth's core with Nuclear Weapons... a very silly idea for a movie really.

Besides, in the movie we see flags of other nations joining together at the Virgil facility to help build Virgil and the other technology used in the movie. It was a world effort, believe it or not.

Because the United States was the only nation on the planet with all the resources to save the planet in the case of this movie. We were the one-stop-shop in this fictional universe. In real life, we'd all be doomed.

Speaking of doomed. Anyone get a kick out of the part where Braz can't figure out how the open the door on his own ship? Yeah. If we ever find ourselves in this situation, let's not send Delroy Lindo.

The whole idea of sending all those smart scientists down into the earth's core was a big dumb error but without it there would have been no movie. They would have sent a bunch of military spec ops types with cameras on their helmets to actually do it with the scientists safe and sound back at mission control watching everything and telling them what to do.

Other countries are free to make all the movies they want in which they save the planet. Why are American filmmakers expected to do it for them?

It is called white savior complex. It exists not only in movies, but also in school curriculum, foreign policy, and volunteering abroad.
