Don't know whether I should blame M Knight Shamalyan or thank him for this.....

......But here goes nothing. Ever since the cult classic status of the sixth sense [which wasn't even his own original idea, he openly admits that he got the idea from watching Cable TV's Nickelodeon, ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK, TALE OF THE DREAM GIRL] people have been watching and=rewatching their favorite movies, plays and TV Shows everything from Bob's Burgers, Friends, Grease, you name it, and going back and forth with the so-called internet [theory] that the main character is either dead the whole time or in a coma reliving things as they slowly die.
The film/fanatic people used to really have good insights and write interesting analysis and interpretations for their favorite movie or TV characters; but after the sixth sense, it was almost like they weren't even trying anymore just, "Yep they're dead the whole time like Dr. Malcolm Crowe was."
Do I blame M Knight or thank him? Rock and a hard place.
