Why? I agree. Commercials where everyone is wearing a mask are already annoying. We're all living through it, we know it sucks.

A large portion of media always has and always will be based on and reflect the world as we know it. Hoping for that to not apply to this one particular world altering event is just weird to me.

All entertainment doesn't have to be, and in fact shouldn't be, about escaping reality.

Plus COVIDs a fucking boring story to tell.

Weve had movies about zombie outbreaks where people rise from the dead and eat other people, where with COVID some people got the flu and others simply worked from home and wore masks in public.

I guess it's true if you ignore tons of media and view any parodies or serious dramas as awful bullshit. Anything that isn't literally mindless is full of references and the creator's agenda.

I know COVID is serious, its also a fucking boring virus compared to zombies. You get it slowly and invisibly, the symptoms are typical bad flu symptoms and theres a very high recovery rate.

Not a very compelling movie to watch.

Well in the MCU, Endgame jumped to 2023 so I think they're past that point unless COVID-19 lasts until then.

Maybe it didn't happen because whoever first contracted it got snapped.

And even if the person wasn't, half the population was gone so it wouldn't have spread as far.

I'm with you, especially since you know most of the writing will be so incredibly poorly ham fisted.

Am I the only one who watches a movie or a series these days, and have a subconscious balking reaction when I see people getting closer than 6 ft to strangers, not wearing masks, etc? It's like this has taken over our lives so much over the majority of this year that when I watch TV where COVID isn't a reality, it feels so strange and unnatural to me.

It's already been the case tho

I doubt we'll actually see any shows or one-offs involving covid until after we've hit a more stable point.

If it's an IP where commentary on current events is the main point of its existence, I get it. I'd certainly expect Law & Order SVU, South Park, Doonesbury, etc. to deal with COVID in some way, shape or form.

Otherwise, I completely agree with OP. Other media properties should really just avoid the topic altogether, or risk coming across as hackneyed drivel. The last thing we need is a "stay the fuck home" rant from Lisa Simpson or something.

I know the new season of The Good Doctor has started and is acknowledging COVID, the first episode was all about it.

I just saw an episode of NCIS: New Orleans and many characters were masked up. And it wasn't in a hospital situation. So its probably going to be how a lot of shows are this upcoming season. Just found this trailer that shows some of the people wearing masks.
