Some might quibble with using AI for research, but this at least feels directionally correct. I'm not sure if ratings/MPAA is the right avenue to fix it, but the sheer laziness of manufacturing stakes by catastrophe instead of through characters definitely feels like its gotten worse.
Lazy storytelling is perhaps the issue here. Of course, I can reward or punish lazy storytelling by which media I choose to buy or skip.
I think it’s worth pointing out that the MPAA is just a voluntary private ratings board. If they want to say violence is less serious than sex that’s their prerogative. I don’t have to agree with it.
