Honestly, the climate crisis seems to be a subtle or explicit theme of a lot of what Hollywood makes, staring in everything from Waterworld and Mad Max to Pacific Rim and Don’t look up, and if anything might be overrepresented in speculative and science fiction.
I don’t think that’s a bad thing now, but to say that Hollywood doesn’t have anything that talks about the climate crisis seems to say a lot more about the author’s either media literacy or taste in movies than it does about Hollywood itself.
Glad to see The Day After Tomorrow mentioned, since it was my first thought.
I know there are others too, and this Twisters guy saying movies shouldn’t have a message sounds really out of place in Hollywood.
