Because it has no contrast, and it's always the same outcomes over and over again. Goodness triumphs. The moral wins. The same shit drilled into our heads as kids in school and church, writ large.
Good drama has badness and evil, and sometimes they come out ahead despite the protagonist's moral superiority. That and utopian life lacks drama by definition.
- Jensson 5y agoYou are talking about the ancient definition of comedy, you just don't like comedies and want more tragedies. Wholesome does not just mean that the good people wins at the end, it means that there are no bad people to begin with. If there is a problem it isn't caused by some evil guy, it could be that a tractor broke down or that a harvest failed and people has to work hard to solve it, evil people aren't wholesome so stories containing them aren't wholesome stories.
