What is it?
This trend highlights fictional backstories that lean so hard into melodrama or weird, specific tragedy that they circle back to being comedic. Itโs the art of the 'over-the-top' origin storyโthink tragic orphans, bizarre curses, and wildly unfortunate accidents that push suspension of disbelief to its limit.
The Takeaway
Embrace the balance between pathos and camp; audiences crave stories that don't take their own sadness too seriously.
