I'm just wondering due to current events, assuming there are any American action cartoons even left anymore (they all seem to be slice of life comedy or just things that differ from the typical heroes fighting villains), will there be some sort of unwritten rule where bad guys will skip out on trying to take over the Capitol of their city, fictional or not?
I'd imagine over the years, Marvel villains must have attacked the New York Capitol time and again. Not too sure about DC in general since Gotham City and Metropolis are cities in unknown states. IDK I just had a random thought of Shredder sending the Foot to attack the Capitol to bend the leaders to his will but realizing that wouldn't fly anymore.
It's curious how we look back and see these things. Villains have used the Twin Towers in their plans time and again, and ironically, our very own Baxter Stockman was threatening to take down the Twin Towers with his Mousers in the second ever issue of the series that started it all. Obviously the towers are no longer there anyway, but people sometimes look back and shudder if some cartoon villain says something similar to 'we'll destroy the Twin Towers by midnight tonight!'
Then we got stuff like the Dark Knight Rises shooting causing them to replace normal looking guns for more cartoony space-type guns in that Beware the Batman cartoon.
I don't know. I just imagine some cartoon or comic writers that had plans to have their villain to take over the Capitol hastily trying to rewrite it so they target City Hall instead or some other place.
