When you look at the core fundamentals of most classic stories they all follow the heroic pattern and on some level stories that reach to the basics of human understanding. Good against evil. Love triumphing. Sacrifice and morality. Movies used to be made around that. Writers understood that. Even the lesser Disney films had all that. Not all of it is an absolute necessity but you need some of it. You need some big evil to face. You need some temptation. The hero needs a desire and to be pulled between that and the greater good. Aladdin gives up his third wish for Genie. Hercules risks his life to save Meg and only in that act does he become a genuine hero. Taran from the Black Cauldron gives up his sword for his friend. And while most of these heroes still ultimately achieve their goals or get their wish they learn to get it in a way that goes against their previous belief because they grew.

All the best movies have some grand foe, one that often became the highlight of the movie itself. But now the foes are less an embodiment of evil they're just petty naysayers. Heroes don't become heroic to challenge them. It's all just pathetic self actualization from the children who write this crap who were upset someone once probably told them NO. Or that they simply want blind acceptance without growing out of their flaws. It's absolutely self centered dross.
