10-24 is a pretty wide ass range for this. Curious if tweens, early teens, late teens, and early 20s differ in any major way. Honestly they should've just polled adults only from every generation, who cares what 12 year olds think
12 year olds are a key market demographic for media
Is that really the argument? Imagine if this is taking to it's logical conclusion and everything "not necessary for the plot" is removed from TV shows and movies. What's the point then? There would be zero point in watching the show or movie, reading the plot summary would serve the exact same purpose.
Movies and TV series are supposed to be a form of entertainment and even art on occassion, that takes you on a journey, makes you feel something. That involves many things that don't necessarily advance the plot, but get the audience emotionally invested into the characters, the fictional world, the narratives, the motives. Without that, what is the point? The plot can't exist on its own as a standalone entity. In many cases it even works in an inverse. The plot is used and chosen to make the audience feel a certain way about something. The plot becomes secondary to the same emotions the authors or producers want to convey.
No, this is people just getting tired of studios mandating thst every movie must be a "four quadrant film" and include a romance subplot. This is people being mad at capitalism
There are people who would rather read Wikipedias of fictional settings like WH40k, and I don't fucking get it. You might as well just read real-life Wikipedia because at least you're learning something that's tangentially connected to your present situation by virtue of it being information about real life.
