Roger Avary compares The Revenant and The Martian, noting that while both involve survival in isolation, the former is driven by revenge and the latter by forgiveness. He argues that modern television, such as Game of Thrones, relies on "cheap tricks" of extreme violence to stimulate the audience's serotonin levels. Avary suggests that true artistic mastery lies in pushing the "ceiling of forgiveness" rather than escalating gore.
