I am watching Severance and playing Hades 2 lately, and I noticed that 'respawn' as a plot device has really increased in last few years.

It's not just respawn, but it's the mechanism where each spawn helps push the narrative further.

The Good Place was similar. Mickey 17 seems to be doing the same thing from what I can tell in the trailer.

Am I just cherry picking or is this a real trend? And does this reflect some other underlying phenomenon?

It's a shame that movie wasn't closer to the book. The ending is way more epic.
