Why do financial movies always portray Bears so glamorously and as the protagonists?

Because a movie where the bear is wrong isn't extraordinary, it's just another Tuesday.

Margin call portraits bulls, realizing they're holding bags of shit, but nobody else knows that shit is in the bag, yet.

Because it legitimises Wall Street and usury, something frowned upon in a truly Christian society.

I'll also add the Journalism reflects a similar paradox. They hate anything unproven. Entrepreneurs are dangerous scammers. Crypto currency is a ponzi scheme. Startups are mostly worthless and not serving the economy.

That is, UNTIL one of them has real success and becomes a new organization like NASA or Tesla. Think about how much dick they would suck just to go to a summer party at Google offices, or to hang out with the CEO.

The factor explaining all of this is STATUS COMPETITION. When you are fighting for status, you always talk down against people below you. Even people you believe you can plausibly portray as below you, you talk shit. Group who have more status, you suck their dick. Everything they do is amazing and necessary.
The ONLY exception is when a large and successful group has a mishap, then the journalists smell blood in the water and have a chance to gain status, by attacking the injured beast. Compare the sentiment of facebook in 2014 and after.

Bears are higher iq, they don’t let their emotions get in their way, they simple understand bearish signals and when everyone is euphoric they calmly put in their short positions and as everyone is suffering they are making money. It takes brains to make money in a bear market, every retard can make money in a bull
