>>213793219 (OP)If they had any balls, it would be about a war with China.
Something like a narrative version of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJXWJ-Px5tU
>A US carrier group finds itself alone in the south china sea just as the cold war between China and the US goes hot>Naval aviators have to fight off seemingly endless waves of Chinese jets and missiles>Even resorting to using their guns as they run out of interceptor missiles>The carrier group and air wing are progressively chipped away at as the day goes on>It ends with a climatic showdown where what is left of the aviators fight a massive flight of Chinese jets from the mainland>The carrier group is sunk>The remaining aviators limp to Vietnamese airspace and bailIt would be kino as hell. Something like a modern thermopylae.
But the way movies are funded these days means that we are not allow to have wars with China in big budget movies and especially not have the US lose in them either.
