That's been brought up before
Yes, Hollywood scriptwriters, ever since that work was published, have slavishly adhered to a formula that you can see in many many films because they're essentially lazy and it works.
There is some crossover between the hero's journey and this theory but since this particular theory focuses on very specific mythological figures (the fallen angels of the Book of Enoch and their variants) and a very specific way of communicating the story (an inverted hermeneutic, everything is reversed, the good guys are bad, the bad guys are good, where something was failed before this time it is passed and so on) then this theory is something recognisable in and of itself without needing reference to the hero's journey.
