What I was trying to point out was that Hollywood depictions of the supernatural are very different from the true supernatural, and that the result of this is that the average person is clueless in their opinions about the supernatural because they’re looking for the wrong thing.

Well, the supernatural as portrayed in a typical Hollywood film is understood by the audience to be fantasy. That's what makes it an entertaining diversion.

One doesn't go to see "Dr. Strange" expecting to see anything which actually exists. That's the whole point.

On the receiving end of entertainment there are multiple mental levels.
