History has a way of repeating itself, whether it be in television, movies, fashion, or books. Old thoughts, patterns, and trends are emerging back into mainstream. Take for example Spider-Man: Homecoming. It’s a great movie, but the same ideas (the same character, the same plotlines) are being recycled to entertain the present audience. Why do you think that is? I believe classic ideas and notions never die, because people still hope for the best in others, hope politicians don’t tell lies, watch and like the same things over and over again.
This is what makes us human, and gives life meaning. It’s not just recycled ideas and ideals, but rather that human nature changes very little, and as long as one can hope, feel, and breathe, history will repeat itself. So, we should stop complaining and just go with the flow, because whenever we complain about something being overused and overdone, chances are there are a lot of people who have not seen the repeats, and admire and appreciate these “new” representations of life.
