I really love how you reference the chosen one idea. I see that often in famous sci fi or fantasy works. Although I see how it can fun and appealing, I’ve definitely fallen away from enjoying this trope. Perhaps that’s just an element of my time or perspective, and speaks to what kind of story I’d like to tell. I find the corruption of ‘chosen one’ idea (Anakin Skywalker but written a LOT better than him haha) a lot more realistic. Without spoilers, my favorite idea of this was accomplished in Dune, at least from what I’ve seen in the films.
