These archetypes have not changed because the characters were literally invented in the 1990s & most are, somehow, still around. Writers today couldn't come up with the cringe lines that were standard in that era. Fuck, even a modern competitive-scene game like League had to go to Korea to come up with a KDA "Lore" to sell itself because characters were zero-dimensional. You have to take a stereotype and blow it out of proportion if you want to be compelling. Most writers now are too pussy to be edgy. (Ironically enough, GTA has actually perfected the art, shame there's no fighter based on it)
