I don't know if the fantasy world has gotten narrow -- if anything, it should be even richer now that there's a whole tableau of angels and demons and prophecies etc.
It should be richer. There's the problem you see with a world expanding is that all the character hierarchy becomes clear, and what you can do with each of them becomes...more narrow, because there are certain expectations as to what they are capable of. Instead of character or story growth for the show I feel more like things are just being rearranged(the sam&dean role reversal at the beginning of the current season) And as you said why contribute when they have a formula that works.
UGH "the real ghostbusters". Cringeworthy. I actually didn't make it through the whole episode because I was so ashamed that that's how they view us.
