>and every games storyline arc needs to be subversion, deconstruction or riddled with sarcasm. Why?
Because the writers aren't that much removed from the average failure to launch incel, they just got lucky through nepotism and landed a job. They never went through the journey to maturity, which is why they deride it, it's something mythical and unreal to them and it has to be, because they can't go through the rites of passage at 36 years old anymore. They're a forever 14 year old in an old man's body.
It's sort of like the slut who will never know real love because she fucked and sucked since age 15 so she will be used and abused until her expiry date, then thrown aside. This isn't solely related to men and their issues, it's widespread societally because they forgot tradition means solution to problems we forgot existed, and are still there.
The hero's journey is simply maturing and becoming an adult, the fact that it's treated as a joke by modern media is a testament to their immaturity or subversive nature.
