To play devil's advocate; being on your phone is an isolating activity, while watching the TV is generally more communal, and was so especially in the era in which they've spent the most time.

Millenials and most Gen Z have shows that everyone watched growing up, but that's going away increasingly, with on-demand streaming and customized feeds replacing the latter. I think it's a very obvious culprit of why young people today struggle to talk to one another.

I am Gen Z.

I think that is the most "correct" interpretation of it. Maybe they're saying that it's been bent over time.

This only works when you speak 'MURICAN.

Acceptable decision

Actually, there are probably quite a few movies. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids comes to mind.

The Emperor's New Groove is such a great movie. I actually mentioned watching it to my family a few days ago.

But yeah, cartoon characters in general are a bit of a toss-up, and their ages are hardly ever quite clear. I thought of all the Disney princess movies and decided to specify "live-action" in the title.

 

If you include non-humans, then Stan from Dog with a Blog is the second adult protagonist, albeit a dog.

*Raven's Home stars Raven-Symoné as an adult in-canon, but I'm reluctant to include it since it is a spin-off of Raven's teenage character in That's So Raven.

If you accept movies and works where there is a shared protagonist role, then you could count Freaky Friday and I assume its spin-offs.

 

I was eating some chocolate when I imagined a world where Hershey's was widely accepted, even by elitists, as the best chocolate.

Is consumer elitism just a facade for pretentious contrarians? Or are there things where even most snobs agree with the masses?

Also, I mean that the product is intrinsically considered to be the best option. I'm not considering social products where the user network makes the experience.

Edit: I was not eating Hershey's. Hershey's being the best chocolate is a bizarro universe in this hypothetical.
