Did 9/11 seriously affect the movie industry? I dont recall a giant deluge of 9/11 cash in dramas or blockbusters afterward, but did it affect the industry more subtly? Like how Lilo and Stitch got edited down after the attacks, for example.

The industry used 9/11 as an excuse to pull out violent programs that weren't giving advertisers any shekels.

After 9/11 the cheesy and fun movies from the 90's were gone. Now everything had to be grimdark and realistic. See: Christopher Nolan's Batman
Juan Nguyen
9/11 was in many ways a total divorce from the optimism of the 90's, and it made everyone realize that the end of history hasnt really come, and may in fact, never come.

OHHHH NONONO A MINOR TRAGEDY LETS KILL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS AND NEVER HAVE FUN AGAIN

Power Rangers pre 9/11 had apocalyptic levels of urban destruction. Then they went back to mecha fights on forests

At least we still have Evangelion

The grimdark shit didn't start until 2005. It was the Iraq war and the sunni surge in 2004 that killed the feel good spirit of the 1990s.
9/11 actually fell off the map really quick-everyone and their mother saw jihadis under their bed for most of fall 2001 but by spring 2002 people just sort of...stopped caring. The Iraq war had a much higher impact on the public consciousness.

24 and LOST wouldn't have existed without 911. Spy films and tv shows got a huge boost.
The best terrorist films released before 911 tho, Arlington Road and The Seige.
Benjamin Rodriguez
Sum of all fears was kino as well, although they changed the plot from jihadi's to nazis.

The Siege was pretty bad desu

What it did was kill the feel-good campyness of anti-terrorist films from the 80’s and 90’s. I think White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen were the first post-9/11 movies that brought back that style of unabashed machoism.
Chase Anderson
have you faggots seen early 2000's frat boy comedies, romantic comedies, action flicks, coming of age movies. 9/11 didn't do shit.
Christopher Peterson
it's more about action movies

and that 9-11 hentai manga

yeah, there were A LOT of disaster movies (day after tomorrow, 2004, was a big one) but NONE of them featured plane crashes for 5+ years after 9/11. also muslims were almost never terrorists for a while, except in the TV show 24 which was made by conservatives for Fox. also 24 was a huge hit probably because of 9/11. Fox started airing 24 november 2001 so they had been making it before the attack. a "progressive" channel might have pulled the first season at the last minute and missed out on a 9 season long cash cow.
Ethan Martinez
Lost (2004) featuring a plane crash so prominently might have been influenced by 9/11 and definitely got more attention because of it. 24 on the other hand would have existed without 9/11 and got lucky for 9/11 to happen.

Don't forget Battlestar Galactica.

Jesus does no one here actually remember the 90s? The cynical grunge culture? The edgy nihilism? It was as optimistic as you think. It was until 2000 that everyone got optimistic for the new century after Y2K was proven to be a hoax
