Exactly. Admittedly, the average audience member is a dullard that requires the Hero's Journey character vehicle they can latch on to, and the OT/PT served that well. But we've done that now; move on. The world is fleshed out, the rules are established... go anywhere, tell any story, break a rule or two to give it an edge, have fun with it.
I'm just tired of the tropes, man. Yes, wonderful -- we have *yet another* juvenile Chosen One and his (her, these days) ragtag crew of social misfits banding together to defeat the Omnipresent Evil. Thanks.
