I’ve never really been into dark, moody themes. From my perspective, the reality of life is already dark, and I don’t really feel inclined to focus on it. I prefer fun escapist fiction over dark themes. I don’t hate dark, moody, gritty themes outright. I just don’t prefer them.

Also, from my point of view, death is not something to really worry about, given my faith. So I’m not really keen to brood on the topic (because why?, IMO). In my life, I have had despair, but such events are largely of my own making so despairing tones in media do not speak to me about it nor help me with it.
