Line 2:
The terrorist attack on the USA on 9/11/2001 did a lot towards making the mere ''mention'' of terrorists in fiction an incredibly risky gambit in the eyes of Hollywood. Many [[Executive Meddling|executives]] even went so far as to remove the Twin Towers from their movies to avoid offending or saddening people in the years afterwards; this was done for fear of it being [[Too Soon]], but also helped Al Qaeda destroy the twin towers retroactively.
For [[Film
'''The First''' Where a great, ''great'' many movies after 9/11 don't talk about it, mention it, or even ''imply'' it happened, stories set in the US, especially New York, after the attacks that should logically deal with terrorism never even talk about it passingly.
Line 16:
Interestingly, shows that dealt with terrorism before 9/11 tend to fare better than those made after, albeit they reacted in different ways.
As more and more time passes, these works are inevitably becoming [[Unintentional Period Piece
A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[The War on Terror]]. See [[Western Terrorists]].
