@dominikhoecht I think you’re original point was that some casting in modern film production seems to be contrived for some other end, rather than elevating the art. I couldn’t agree more.

I’m kind of tired of every series (can you not tell your story in 90-120 minutes? Really, every time?) with this demographic bento box covering the melanin palette, because Space Mining just happens to attract that sort of crowd.

My teen age friend group was a microcosm of the most recent census, but naturally, not because central casting thought it would improve our chances for college.
