I was simply saying it's often easier for audiences to accept complicated subject matter (in this case, war-related themes) from the safe distance of a "historical perspective". I mentioned "Mad Men" earlier, but two other excellent examples would be the 2nd season of "Fargo" (2015) and the 2018 film "BlacKkKlansman", both set in the 1970s.
* Which continue to plague the country.
I'm with you. I'd love to see G.I. Joe in the hands of someone with the creative vision to capture the problems, weirdness, seriousness, and silliness of late cold-war era fiction. Not saying that a G.I. Joe movie should look and feel like Stranger Things or the IT reboot, but they're both examples of how to tell a story that is simultaneously dark and absurd, while capturing the look, sound, and feel of a particular time.
Another good example is Thor: Ragnarok which to me layed out exactly how to make a MOTU movie in the 21st century.
