The scaling of the vertical axes is bugging me :(
The lack of decades on every x axis other than the bottom bothers me. This is not a cool guide.
Normally that indicates that all the x axis are the same. If that’s not true here, then that’s an issue. But I don’t see any indication that it’s not.
The axis being so far away, even if they are all the same, makes it difficult for the reader to line up where the peaks are, though some are easy to get from contextual clues (~1945 for War movies for example).
Blazing Saddles came out in 1974 and practically killed a genre.
So which category are the marvel/“every obscure comic character gets their own file series” films?
Fantasy? Thriller?
What different thriller/horror? They same?
Think of thrillers more like rollercoaster rides - they’re fun because they’re exciting and sometimes scary
Horror is more like haunted houses, they’re fun because they’re scary, which is sometimes exciting
This is the interesting thing about genres - they’re often abstract and can blur definitions easily. The same way we don’t consider a hot dog or a pop tart a sandwich, even though you can often find the definition of a sandwich in each.
