It’s Not That Deep: The Lies We Tell About The Things We Watch

I really like this video. It’s feels like a lot of money and resources go into projects like zootopia and the modern x-men movies to encourage the “it’s not deep” mentality by IP owners and their affiliated networks rather than the creators getting lazy. You mentioned zootopia went through rewrites and I agree that the timing is too suspect to be simply coincidence with the BLM movement coming into focus at that time. Not saying it’s conspiracy, just that A/B testing and seeking to maximize profits does a lot of the dirty work. Rewrites are expensive. I’ve seen a few articles here and there talking about how American law enforcement influences Hollywood depictions in film and tv over the decades. I don’t think folks who “it’s not that deep” over everything are simply dumb, but that they’ve fallen into a mental trap that a lot of money and effort went into to ensure that doubt is sown against anyone who would ask others to take a second look. And it’s done in a way to encourage creators at all levels from social media to film directors to fall in line if they want to get paid. It’s really discouraging to see people default to holding that all up, scoffing, or calling conspiracy instead of listening when someone points out that something is off.
