Welp, you discovered why blockbusters with tired plots sell so well. The masses eat that up.

Read this as condescendingly as possible.

"akshyully I've been well aware of why casual content appeals to the casual audience. I'm a GAMER."

But seriously, yeah. Generic plots appeal to the most people because they're easy to follow. I've met a lot of people who hated "The Prestige" because "it was confusing as fuck" and "didn't make sense". I admit, I ve seen it four times now and I still caught something new on my last watch. But still. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

But I really did pull most of that campaign straight from a movieand they ate it up, talked about it like it was an 11 course meal. Instead of a truck stop hotdog with slightly too-green mustard.
