Film, television, streaming and anime all require suspension of belief to accept that, despite ALL .. the odds, EVERYTHING against them... the hero can triumph... good will prevail, and love conquers all. To assure thus, the MC is almost always hot, or the person attracted to them is.
Psychologically, attractive people are also considered more competent, friendly, and "good" (vs "evil"). It is likely linked to the perception of "better" genes and thus higher survivability, but it has been shown that factors such as better access to medical care (e.g. pertaining to infections, dentistry, surgery), ample nutrition, and exercise, coupled with growing up in a stable household, are all factors that result in better facial symmetry amongst others, which is highly related to attractiveness.
Inspectora, that’s not the reason.
The reason is that media presents fiction that goes above and beyond reality in all aspects. It is the glamorous made to appear normal.
Everything is heightened, even appearances.
Would it have been more clear if I said “elevated”
Because what heightened means in movie and tv terms is that things are bigger, brighter, louder, etc.
Not referring to the quality
