That is a large part of it, but the shift was underway 20 years ago. Villains from WWII naturally get less airtime during a time when the public wants to mentally process WTC or Bataclan.

Until 2001, people - certainly in my country - just did not think much about terrorism. After 9/11, it was all anyone thought about. That mindset made WWII issues seem more remote and somewhat stale.
