You would think that endotypes are like a big deal in cinema but they're really not. Maybe for like comedies, there's a lot that is done with the stereotypical endotypes being played for laughs but dramas? Not really. There's no "secretly an omega" or "(endotype) isn't good enough because of their endotype" stuff. Like characters sometimes have their endotype defined but usually they don't matter in the context of the film unless the film revolves around it. I get the feeling there are a lot of coming of age stories around being a late bloomer for endotypes.

Now TV shows... that's a whole other ball game. Those characters get their endotypes explicitly stated if they're running long enough. But also it's just easier to get a read on what their endotype might be because you spend more time with them. This makes shipping discourse way more complicated and also way more interesting. There's occasionally "Should you be allowed to play an endotype outside your own" discourse that ultimately gets a lot of eye rolling.

Soap operas have a lot of plots around having a new endotype as well as a new face when actors a switched out, which adds an extra layer of drama. Kids shows have episodes about endotypes that are really dumbed down and sometimes are criticized for relying on stereotypes but ultimately are pretty wholesome. Some shows are famous for accidentally forgetting a characters endotype and changing it the next time it's brought up (*cough* supernatural *cough*) and others switch endotypes for fun (doctor who and star trek would have endotype switches for certain characters). Medical dramas inevitably have a heat/rut or a knotting gone wrong episode, and it's always a little funny.

You can buy sex toys that smell like different endotypes....
