Because the "Evil Villain's Out to Conquer the World and We've Got to Stop Him" setting has been done to death. It's OLD!Folks want something new.

Something like the "Well, The Evil Villain's Been Roundly Trounced, But The World's Still in a Horrid Mess, So I Guess We Get to Put the Place Back Together" setting. The big bad's been thoroughly whomped, you now get to go and put things aright again. And it won't be easy.

This analogy is only useful for those who have taken a US history course.

Which did you prefer to read about: WWII and the fight against Hitler, or the post-civil war reconstruction era?

The "putting the place back together after war" setting is boring. The "stop the evil villian out to conquer the world" setting is exciting.

The "putting the place back together after war" setting is boring. The "stop the evil villian out to conquer the world" setting is exciting.

[Assuming someone has a background in USHistory or World History (and they made you memorize dates)]

1940-1945 is exciting. 1946-1950 is boring.
1861-1865 is exciting. 1866-1870 is boring.
1914-1918 is exciting. 1919-1922 is boring.

But then again. the boring part between 1919 and 1939 turns into the exciting 1940-1945. So its cyclic.

Unless you're making gangster films or Indiana Jones style pulp adventures,

The setting I submitted starts pretty much day 1 AFTER the apocolyptic battle. The world is changed, things are fluid, I think thats a much more interesting setting. much better than the tired old "must stop the villian and save the world." thats been done to death!
