Why do Sci-fi and Superhero movies & shows suck so much now? I've largely checked out of keeping up with the latest thing, but I've become fascinated with their decline. I think these video's pin down two of the biggest culprits I've noticed: Girl bosses and millenial writers.
TLDW summary:
Girl Boss: A perfect female character that never struggles and their only challenge is overcoming the external forces that prevent them from unleashing their true inner-awesomeness. Notable examples: Rey, Bo Katan, RoP Galadriel, Cpt Marvel and most of the MCU phase 4 female characters.
Millenial Writer: A rich kid who works on premier projects due to their family connections, ivy-league credentials and being cheap. They have very little life experience and spend most of their time on social media, so that's what they're most comfortable talking about. The video focuses on video games, but I think it's highly applicable to movies and shows.
