It's all done by committee now, with marketers and lawyers in there cutting back anything that might remotely shy away the most tamest of movie goer.
Can't have that plot! You might upset them! Can't go that route, that's untested, we don't know how audiences might take it.
So we get these boring bland flat characters and storylines because there was zero risk taken in making the film. Nothing risked, nothing gained, movie industry. Then they wonder why no one cares about going to the movies anymore.
