Sorry, I meant more that it's still too big and recent to be fodder for light entertainment.

Aaah! Gotcha.

Unfortunately, that ship already sailed. There was that horrible Robert Pattinson movie, for example

Oh yikes. Somehow I missed that. That's horrendous. :(

What makes it worse is that the movie DIDN'T need 9/11. It's a run of the mill rom com that just hits you with the last "Twist" that, when the main character goes to his first job interview right at the end? It's on Tower 2 and it's 9/11. Cut credits. Which... UGH, yes.

They have been making entertainment, light or otherwise, about 9/11 since almost immediately after it happened, though. You can argue whether they SHOULD be, but I don’t see that as a reason why they COULDN’T.

But as argued by others, large terrible events were covered by the original run and they would have been in living memory for much of the audience. Today’s audience isn’t special or unique for having lived through bad historical events, and it seems a bit naive to suggest we should be “protected” from entertainment addressing something that happened long enough ago there are grown adults who were born after it. Hell, some people actually LIKE to have tv and movies tell stories about things they have personal experience with.
