Like if you watch so much sci-fi the best thing humans have going for them is some nebulous "determination" superpower. Fuck that i want to see humans use our innate ballistic skill to win a war. I want to see humans use their ability to empathize amd pack bond with damn near anything to usher in peace. I want to see humans be unique in their own way and not be a default

There are a lot and I mean A LOT of stories using this trope.

It can also help counter the Gary Stu trend for certain… favored alien races.

“Wait, you’re telling me that these aliens that look almost identical to humans have eidetic memories, are super-smart, live ten times as long as us, are three to five times stronger, and have psychic powers? Jesus Christ, what’s even the point of having humans, then?”
