Why do people like fantasy and action movies/shows so much, and it seems so much more than realistic fiction?

Being physically active, vicariously and escaping from the shit they have to deal with in reality.

It takes more creativity to come up with good fantasy that viewers can get lost in than it does to create a drama that could happen any day of the week almost anywhere in the world.

It's Escapism from everyday life.

The better question is why do people like Watching Horror Movies so much?

I hate Horror Movies, Why would I want to see someone getting Tortured, Hurt or Horrifically Killed.
