Perhaps.

On the other hand, as narratives often contain some plucky underdog winning despite the odds, often stopping the countdown in the last few seconds, perhaps it's best to keep them around.

maybe don't also train with the evil overlord list as well.

Aye.

But then people complain that it's "lobotomised" because it won't help them write horror stories.

In the 1999 classic Galaxy Quest, the plucky underdogs fail to stop the countdown in time, only to find that nothing happens when it reaches zero, because it never did in the narratives, so the copy cats had no idea what it should do after that point.

One can but hope :)

I wonder what a Galaxy Quest sequel would look like today…

Given the "dark is cool, killing off fan favourites is cool" vibes of Picard and Discovery, I'd guess something like Tim Allen playing a senile Jason Nesmith, who has not only forgotten the events of the original film, but repeatedly mistakes all the things going on around him as if he was filming the (in-universe) 1980s Galaxy Quest TV series, and frequently asking where Alexander Dane was and why he wasn't on set with the rest of the cast.

(I hope we get less of that vibe and more in the vein of Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, or indeed The Orville).
