About the comment about “only 6 plots”. Indeed almost all plots can be bucketed in a few categories, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
When a scene looks like it has been done before, it’s the small differences from the previous time that make it stand out. Much like Jazz can sound the same for many people, but for people who listened to a lot of it different sounds make it interesting.
I’ll take a very obvious example: Frozen’s true love kiss. It works just because it is the same old shtick used in every princess story, without it, it’s uniqueness would not exist.
It might be the same 6 plots, but it’s like complaining you’re eating beef again. The question is what is different about this red meat dish vs the others.
