Predator - Was originally intended as an anti-hunting movies by putting humans in the same situation they’ve put animals in for ages, but the Hunter in this case is a awesome looking super strong alien and his prey are not defenseless animals, but the burliest and manliest action heroes the 80s had to offer.

Squirrel & Hedgehog - A North Korean propaganda cartoon, with animals as allegories for North Korea and its enemies. Originally, the villains were bears, who represented the Soviet Union, so after the Union fell, something had to replace it. So the 2000s series replaced them with Americans, who were represented as highly muscled military werewolves with an armada of vehicles that turned into animal mecha. Oh, and they’ve got an attractive fox lady for a lieutenant, too.

Hazbin Hotel - Meant to be a critique of the Abrahamic faith and shallowness the absolute dichotomy of good and evil embodied by Heaven and Hell, with demons as the heroes and angels as heartless bastards genociding poor defenseless demons. However in doing so they made the armies of Heaven into nigh-invincible warrior women and gave their leader Adam a sweet-sounding rock ballad and a mighty guitar axe.
