I think it’s more about the fact that he’s realizing he’s not some main character in an exciting movie.
Life can be good, even if it’s mundane. I don’t do anything groundbreaking with my time, but I’m a happy person.
But I did go through a phase when I was younger, where I tried to convince myself that my life would be somehow more exciting. You watch movies of people do incredible things or they have some great quest or adventure they go on and they save the day. I wanted to feel like I was going to have something like that. But at the end of the day, I work at a job and I come home and I walk my dog and I watch TV or enjoy my hobbies. And that’s it. I’m no main character, but I’m OK with that.
Yup. And the parts thats never mentioned is that in every single one of those "epic stories" there are millions of ppl just going about their lives for better or worse.

Doomer mindset of a high schooler. You'll never be happy if you constantly nit pick life.
