Not sure if I made a podcast on this before, but yeah, people have a natural affinity to royal bloodlines or perfect lineages.  Like rather than be in tv shows, or movies, or books written... they can never just be a peasant who grew up a peasant and then from hard work became someone great, it always has to be some type of "oh actually his father was secretly the Hokage", "oh actually his parents were rich af and the most popular kids in school before they died", "oh actually he was the reincarnation of this great hero", etc.



People secretly want rulers.  They want kings and queens that are so unachievable from the common man that they are practically gods.  The only time they are okay with someone being a peasant or loser who becomes great is if they secretly were part of this royal bloodline.



Absolutely pathetic.
