    Warhammer 40k universe.
    Yeah i know it’s “cringe” or “are you 14 year old wannabe edgelord?” But i cant help it, negative emotions and a dark/miserable/cynical worldview is more relatable and undersatable.
    The overall miserable setting and no guarantee that the “good”(just the team you’re rooting for) guys will win is a good reminder that things could be a lot worse, yes there’s already enough of that misery in the world, but thats why it is more relatable and realistic.

    Way too many other universes or stories want the good guys to win in the end and actually having clearly good and bad guys, while playing on postive emotions and optimism. That is kinda unrealistic and predictably boring.
