Eh, I'm pretty sure the author is arguing about "seriousness" in a "professional" sense as opposed to a "large consequence" sense.
I think the proliferation of "large consequence" has to do with lazy writing and if you have a bunch of people "save the world" now they need to one-up it so it becomes "save the star system". So when you have a ton of sequels being produced they need to keep getting larger and larger consequences for the plot line.
However, on the lack of "professionalism" I think the author is spot on. Their initial example is that "Pumpkin Spice" contains no Pumpkin. Saying you're doing X while you'r e not doing X is very unprofessional (unserious).

- pvdoom 3y agoInterestingly enough, what survives as pumpkin spice today used to be an incredibly popular spice mix - powder douce - going back to the Middle Ages, and used on everything from apple pie, to roast meat, to wine. Mulled wine is basically pumpkin spice wine.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoYes, it's the spice mix used in pumpkin pie and some other pumpkin dishes.

- TheCoelacanth 3y agoEven save the star system seems to be too small now. There's now save the universe plots or even save the multiverse plots.
