I see this criticism a lot and I just wonder how many films from outside the US people have seen because this kind of thing happens in pretty much every country that makes films. The film will usually take place in and feature heroes from the country that made it. Like most Godzilla movies take place in Japan and the day is saved by Japanese people (or Godzilla himself depending on the movie).
It's true for a lot of these minor complaints about America. Of course there are valid complaints about the US, but some of them are very petty and not a real representation.
"American food quality is bad" because you go to fancy restaurants on vacation, and/or when visiting the US don't know where to find quality food because it's in different places.
"but quality food is cheap" yeah when you have to pay half as much or less for labor it can be
"people are less fat because the food is healthier" no, people are less fat because they are addicted to cigarettes instead of soda. also walk more.
"america has no culture" ... this should be obvious
"Americans are so loud" this very much depends on the country you're comparing too, but at least where I've lived Germans, Dutch, and locals(Czechs) are the loudest
Godzilla is a japanese monster, not an alien that that looks for somewhere to land.
And movies about aliens made by Americans are probably gonna have the aliens landing in America, because shocker, Americans know America better than other places
But the aliens in Godzilla movies land in Japan before Godzilla shows up.
