🤷♀️ Hard to say without knowing the material thing is a least for a time and I think even now something’s are genuinely entertainment add in that humanity tends to gravitate toward archetypal imagery and the same basic formula for most popular stories I think each film or book or story should be taken in its own merit. I definitely think predictive programming to move the Overton window or just cause emotional manipulation is a thing but I don’t believe every thing is. Let’s also not forget that there really are coincidences as well although it seems those are mostly not dark or discouraging IMHO. Which films? Might be worth a decode.
Slightly different take than the hunger games I have read and seen the most dangerous game. The primary difference is that in the hunger games they starve the entire country except one district and force each area to send two children to a gladiatorial tournament with only survivor as punishment for trying to rebel against the tyrants in the capital . …, oh wait guess it was a preview given it came out way before covid
Totally understandable I actually stumbled onto the books in a hospital gift shop to read to the kid when he was a boy and thought they were pretty good for YA.

The Most Dangerous Game (based on the book), and I believe it's called The Hunting Party are the two that come to mind.
I may be wrong on that last title.

Thanks for the clarification. Good to know. I've avoided those franchises so I only know the passing similarities.
