It's pretty impressive how the series and movie both have given situations time and again for people to relate to reality. A very recent prediction that came true from the animated series was the lights out at White House in June. The lights at White House were switched off following the violent protests surrounding George Floyd's death. Something similar was shown in the animated series. A lot of people thus look up to the series for making guesses about the future.
