Description

This video explores why modern audiences are moving away from perfect heroes and embracing flawed, relatable characters instead. From Star Wars and Stranger Things to Andor, Lord of the Rings, and Project Hail Mary, this essay breaks down the cultural and storytelling shifts behind this change.
