Has the chosen one trope become outdated? In this episode, we talk about the chosen one narrative and how it often works within sci-fi and fantasy stories. We also discuss whether modern day audiences connect with the role of the “prophecy” in these types of narratives. Our conversation also turns to why we need a chosen one to come save us in the first place; why is the world always ending in the stories we consume?
