Something interesting Chris Gore said about the original Star Wars trilogy on Nerdrotic's stream the other night.

There are no real heroes anymore. Everyone is either infested by the immortal insight of the shitty writers in most Western Works now or are depressed bums who need to be told to be more heroic by self inserts of the writing staff. There is no more optimism paired with good, solid writing anymore. There's no hope for a long term story about someone who you want to root for, there's no more hero's journey. When you have villains write for the opposite side, at best you get a pathetic imitation of a bygone era like in Resident Evil 9. At worst you get complete assassination, like in.....well, at this point there's too many examples to name off at this point.
