@bassplayer@mas.to @nickwedig@dice.camp or.. the budgets from producers drive down creativity.
Consider the clone world of Hallmark movies.. quirky guy/ gal returns home or forced to SmallTown USA .. gotta be white (historically) and grossly cute & hetero
Or action movies .. white domestic terrorists take over WH or similar .. threaten global security blah blah blah .. single champ saves world
Or political thrillers .. see above - first it was USSR, then China, then ME, then home grown.

@usanchor@mastodon.world There will always be the heros Journey its been around forever the problem is todays writers are bad or are hamstrung by studio interference. Gradual over reliance on formula writing seems more producers milking the current popular thing like reality shows or super heros. My wife likes the Hallmark movies, it's not my thing. I'm not mad she watches it. That would be like getting mad at someone liking music you don't like.
