  • I think there's a way simpler economic reason. If you have an ensemble of actors, the more scenes they have the more you have to pay. So killing them of one by one is an easy way for a studio to save money (let's not forget, the US has an Union for their actors). Also we live in the age of sequels so having only a minimal cast transfer between movies means way less contract renegotiations. At least I think it started that way and then just grew into a cultural school of filmmaking in Hollywood. It just became the way you do things.

    It might also be an artifact of the popularity of slasher movies from the early 2000s' where the whole point was to kill characters.

  • Prevalence of Death in Hollywood movies.

    Seriously, how many times does some side character in a Hollywood movie escape death by an inch then looks at the protagonist and smiles, only to be instantly killed anyway.
    Or the fact that if there's a group of people in a horror movie, only the main protagonist and their estranged love interest or child will survive till the end.
    Or if the protagonist is shown to have a lovely quiet life with their love interest, they will lose them in the next 5 minutes.

    I can excuse the protagonist mowing down some unnamed goons, but Hollywood treats their named side characters as disposable garbage too.

    Watch foreign movies and you'll get what I'm saying. There, a single character death is usually a big deal and a major pivot point for the story.

    I've recently started watching more biographies and it's so much more enjoyable knowing that a character isn't going to suddenly get hit by a bus for having a good time.

  • What people tend to also forget is that every letter in LGBTQ stand for an entirely different group of people, yet they are threated as one community. Imagine Mechanics and Sales people would be part of the same union. 2 entirely different branches, with entirely different demands except that they all want to get paid on time.

    For most it is just more convenient to bunch everybody who's apart from the "norm" into a single group and call it a day.

    I'm personally against labels, but if you're going to give them names, then maybe don't pile them all together.

    Edit: This is not personally a critique of what you said, it just fits the topic of tour comment.
