It's not that unpopular - I see it a lot on FB and Twitter. People really dislike modern media. Zoomers in particular watch and listen to a ton of older stuff.

It's not that unpopular - I see it a lot on FB and Twitter. People really dislike modern media. Zoomers in particular watch and listen to a ton of older stuff. With a few exceptions, movies are terribly written these days. A lot of people think the issue is "wokeness", but that's just part of it - everything is slapped together poorly. The quips, the one liners, the new archetypes, all pales to how fucking horrible dialog has become. Shoehorning in an Indian and a Chinese guy to appeal to those markets? Fuckit, add a talking dog. Watch TV from the 90s and aughts. It's much funnier, dialog is tighter, there's subplots and overarching plots and character growth. You know what is good? You know what doesn't have a writers room? Low-end YouTube channels, which have completely replaced TV for the actual working class. Watch TFL Truck - it's funny, human, they mess up a lot, and it's a good time. Then watch a Marvel shitfest. Repeat with streamers, with review channels, etc.
