    It's the 2020s and that's a trope that is trendy in movies right now

    You can go back and look at prior decades and see that they all have decade-specific hallmarks that are kind of quality-agnostic but help distinguish the era

      I want to revive the late 60s to early 70s era hallmark of the incredibly bleak endings that nullify the whole plot up until then. Like Midnight Cowboy, Planet of the Apes, Rosemary's Baby, Five Easy Pieces, Easy Rider, etc

      I wonder if it has anything to do with the age of the target audience? What did boomers find familiar in movies from a couple decades ago?
