      1. Nurse novels (and their offshoot, Nurse comic books) were a big genre once. Let's imagine a world where they came to dominate entertainment the way the superhero genre has.pic.twitter.com/f9mdeo7vfr

      2. In Earth-Nurse-Genre, all he big Hollywood movies are nurse movies. All the nurse novels get adapted for film or Netflix or HBO. To make an art movie you have to do dark, grim nurse movies.

          3. In the world where nurse stories are the dominant genre, fans of other genres (say super-heroes) will be grousing that their preferred entertainment is being crowded out by the plethora of nurse movies. And they'd be right.

          Your analogy is apt. And I understand that comic book fanboys are obnoxious arrested adults, but the studios who greenlight and fund films are to blame as much the rampant fandom.
