It seems to me that modern fantasy - especially the on-screen one - is afraid of magic. In Hobbit movies, Black Arrow is replaced by a ballista. In Rings of Power, Sauron gives Celebrimbor the knowledge of... alloys. As if alloys themselves are somehow magical. In the Troy movie, I don't even remember any references to characters having divine lineage, and we definitely don't see the gods taking part in the story.
So why do you think that is the case?
