Seth MacFarlane is looking for extra positivity within the TV business.
Throughout a current look on the “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast, the “Household Man” creator mentioned the abundance of “damaging” tales in Hollywood, and mentioned audiences want extra motion pictures and TV reveals that “give individuals hope.”
“That’s why I did ‘The Orville’… as a result of after I was a child, Hollywood was offering that voice in numerous varieties,” MacFarlane mentioned. “There was a number of hope, and among the blame lies proper right here on this city. The dishes that we’re serving up are so dystopian and so pessimistic. And yeah, there’s loads to be pessimistic about, but it surely’s so one-sided. There’s nothing we’re doing that’s offering anybody a picture of hope.”
MacFarlane used “The Handmaid’s Story” for example. And whereas he admits it’s a “superbly written, superbly directed present,” he maintained there may be “much more of that [than] what we used to get from Captain Picard” and the tales from “Star Trek: The Subsequent Era.”
He additionally talked about “The Sopranos,” including that ever since that present’s heyday, Hollywood is “all in regards to the antihero.”
“[Telling hopeful stories is] the one factor actually that Hollywood can do this’s worthwhile as a result of as all of us discovered from this election, no person offers a fuck what celebrities suppose,” he added. “We will tweet, we are able to speak. Like, individuals don’t care. They don’t care. What we do do nicely is inform tales. And we’re not doing the very best job proper now of telling these tales in a manner that offers individuals hope.”
