It's only an observation I have about the nationality of evil depending on director.
Lucas = British
Spielberg = Germans (Nazi's)
Gilliam = French
Cameron = Extraterrestrials/Robots
Just an observation. What director has Americans as evil?

Directors and their villians

You could say that Cameron has a theme of Americans as villains, specifically American corporations.
In Aliens, the Company is the ultimate villain that sets things into motion by wanting to capture the Xenomorph for their own use.
In Terminator/T2, SkyNet is the puppet master, created by corporations to run the world.
In Titanic, it's the greed and hubris of the upper class Americans that leads to distruction and Chaos.
Even The Abyss has the threat of the establishment above sea level that is the real threat to the world, not the sea-aliens.
Cameron has a long-running theme of portraying the stereotypes of American capitalism as a threat to our very existence.
