Stories about losers and failures are way less popular. In fact when the ending is bad, it usually is controversial.

Why is it controversial? The fact is the vast majority of humans are losers and never achieved anywhere close to their goals and dreams.

All these stories in media about winners conditions people wrongly thinking if they try hard enough they will win. Then when they get older they get angry about reality.

Reality is stories about failures and rejects is far more relatable to most humans. And people wouldn't be so disappointed if they were raised on these instead.
 
High IQ observation
 
This is why most people are bluepilled and not blackpilled
 
low iq observation.

even normies would agree with you lmao
 
I’m inclined to disagree that we (societally) should not tell Normans platitudes about chasing their dreams. Your average dude might not become an astronaut like he wanted to in 5th grade, but in pursuit of that he might go on to live a pretty fulfilling life and become satisfied enough that he tells his offspring to shoot for the stars.

Of course this is all changing rapidly, so much so that the average dude probably won’t have any offspring in 20 years, so you’re probably totally right. I don’t know. I don’t get out much.

That's what makes movies about losers and failures uninteresting
 
Of course. The default state of people is loserdom.

People don't care about the story of the loser, because they live that story everyday. The outliers and life's lottery winners - the ones who defy the near-insurmountable odds and come out on top - are the ones people are interested in, because they want to know how they got out of life's default state.

It's not that those stories will necessarily help the everyday average Joe loser change their reality. It's that these stories excite their imagination just enough to motivate them into being productive citizens.
