They're lacking the creativity necessary to make something different than what has already been done to death. On the positive side, they're essentially admitting this every time they race and/or sex swap a white male instead of finding an existing historical or mythological character that already fits the description.
I remember trying to explain to someone how it’s very lazy to take European folklore and race/gender swap it. Why not research folklore from other parts of the world.
The reason I usually give the normies is that they don't think anyone else's history will sell, and that they lack the backbone to push for it. Trying to convince them that it's done out of malevolence never works.
That's very true. Hollywood is creatively bankrupt and they tend to follow a formula these days. Even when a plot writes itself from having happened in history, they'd still need to fill in the details to make a tv show out of it.

I can see that. But I do think a lot of them wouldn’t want to put the effort into it.
