I think being "nerdy" has been made cool and mainstream the past 15 years or so. Now everyone wants to be a programmer, scientist, etc. I gave up dating years ago because according to the girls I met, "every guy is a programmer". Given that they plan years ahead, I imagine they foresaw the need for that type of labor and adjusted media accordingly. When that still wasn't enough to keep salaries under $100k they went hard on H1B.

You know who would play a great scientist? Dolph Lundgren. And maybe after an accident in the lab he gains the ability to smell crime. We'll call it, The Fifth Sense

BB-3

Yes. He's a scientist and an actor. But hollywood will never depict a scientist who looks like him.

Now they're all black. Used to be Indian, which did make sense. But now every black person has Wakanda power.
