Also I find as much the complex plot in different shows, the politics or beliefs of protagonists remain incredibly uniform and simplistic to the cartoonish level.

I'm at the point where I feel like I can't start watching any new show because I will be able to predict everything that happens before it happens, making the whole thing feel like a waste of time. The storytelling is boring and the foreshadowing is more like foreshouting due to how obvious they make it.

Case in point, I never read the books and I put off watching Game of Thrones for a very long time until my brother finally convinced me to give it a shot a few months ago. When he came to me asking about how shocked I was about what happened at the end of the first season I literally laughed in his face because it was telegraphed from episode 1.

Yeah, I hate the foreshadowing. Sure thing super hero cartoon we know the bad guys will lose at the end, but cartoon makes things more interesting.
