There are always shifts in what is villainized in films based on current real-world concerns. I think overall people are just more aware of the nuance that things aren't as black and white as 'good guys vs bad guys'. Which I think leads to more interesting characters and stories. That being said, there's still plenty of violence and baddies (some the article mentions like Rogue AI.) They mention specific 'bad guys' of the past where they're demonizing a specific nationality... which they answer themselves why those are less:
Selling stuff worldwide means not pissing on those audiences.
Who is this article even for?
