Of the many tropes that exist within films and television, the Chosen One trope is the most pervasive, but how and why has it become so popular?
When watching most movie franchises or television series, viewers are likely to come across the Chosen One trope without fail because of its wild popularity throughout Hollywood and beyond, but does the plot device deserve all the hype? The Chosen One trope refers to a story arc in which the main character has been chosen, usually by some higher power, to save the entire world. Some popular examples include Anakin Skywalker, and Katniss Everdeen.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Chosen One Trope Is Ancient While the Chosen One trope often appears in current popular culture and media, the plot device is incredibly old and can actually be traced back to society's earliest stories. Even in ancient times, the trope remained the same: one person is different from everyone else and this makes them the singular person to complete a divine mission.
There is also a sense of relatability to Chosen One stories. Although most people don't have outstanding powers or divine missions they must complete, they still understand feeling overwhelmed by life or like massive responsibilities lie on their shoulders. Plus, most humans have an innate belief that they are special, which makes the trope feel more realistic.
