Before there was Elon Musk, there was Tony Stark. We travelled back to 2008 to look at IRON MAN, the first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and were excited to find that it serves its ideology on a big platter with minimal ornamentation.

Semi-related or parralleling thing I noticed on my No Time To Die rewatch; the recurring Trident (UK's nuclear defence submarine) theme. The opening image of the title sequence is literally Brittania's trident succumbing to decay, then crumbling. Then, later in the film Bond and Nomi are sent to infiltrate a crumbling submarine silo, wherein Nomi is depicted on the computer surveilance system as a gender neutral circle design, but Bond is depicted by what Q describes in the dialogue as a "Tri...thingy" Echoes of the "On my world it means hope" reluctance to say the thing out loud. I don't know what any of this means because the movie is politically incoherent. Sure, Bond is retired, but he/Trident still manages to defeat the abstract chemical threat, and by keeping the missile doors open, no less. But there it is.
