Yes and no. Bald SPESS MUHREENS *patriotic salute* may be overdone, but the core concept of a soldier is so fundamental that you can't remove it without drastically limiting the story you can tell. With her vids she's talking about core storytelling elements like "girl inspires boy" or "bad things happen to love interests". These are such basic concepts that she's more or less arguing for the destruction of entire genres, to be replaced with... I dunno, movies about a woman being a real person. Fun?
