Cities

There's supposedly some old rule in Hollywood writing that audiences only care about things where the entirety of the protagonist's world is going to get destroyed.

This usually translates to the city the movie or show takes place in getting destroyed, or the Earth in shows or movies that don't take place in a single city or take place in space.

This, basically city folk are self absorbed as fuck.

Cities occupy a pretty magical place in our collective psyche. They're big enough to be a setting all on their own, but still feel like a singular, tangible community, with its own unique energy and importance. The tv shows are just tacking on to a long line of city based fiction.
