In screenwriting, there is a trope of making the heroes and villains opposites of each other. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this trope is reflected in the fact that the villains have the same powers as the heroes, but eeeevil. In The Dark Knight, there is the famous refrain by the Joker that he and Bruce Wayne were the same, and that the latter completed him, and why so serious, etc. The point is, the simulation in which we all live (because there cannot be an explanation for the narrative convenience it all) has thrown up the same characters, the heroes and villains being mirror opposites of each other, and sharing the same powers, and every other screenwriting trope we are all starting to see the simulation as it truly is. Are we to believe that it is just a coincidence that the UK and the US both have a blonde haired populist right winger supported by boomers and a white haired populist left winger supported by young people? Much like the end of Avengers: Infinity War, the heroes have lost for now with the departure of both Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders as viable contenders. You may argue about that but this is not a politics piece - I have avoided calling anyone villains and I’m going to argue that Thanos is the coronavirus instead of Trump, so that’s my attempt at political impartiality. This piece is more of a discourse on simulation theory and bad screenwriting tropes, and my hope is that I go on to become a better screenwriter than whoever’s writing the script for this simulation.
