When you Think About It.â„¢ aren't The Avengers the modern equivalent of Homer (Greek fantasy guy, like GRRM with more Gay Subtext) I challenge you to. Think About It.â„¢ |

yeah I guess everything is derivative, especially things related to American comic books |
||||||||

|
|
all the stories have been told, there are no new ones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im sure there are some great permutations to be told, but nothing really that passes the Hollywood filter, if its too complicated for a 5 year old to understand it doesn't get made usually |

I've been reading Ovid's " Metamorphoses" and there's a lot of men becoming women and vice versa and it was written about 40Ad and so when millennials think they're being trendy changing gender I say to them that the whole thing is as old as the hills and maybe they're not so shocking as they think they are. Hello, is that the Women's Health Centre? I wonder if you can help me, you see my balls really hurt. You don't suprise me, I read something like that in a Penguin Classic, the nice old ones with the black spines. That's how old. Think about it â„¢ |

haha exactly! and they always do it like this: http://www.movieoutline.com/articles/the-five-key-turning-p oints-of-all-successful-movie-scripts.html At least for anything with a blockbuster budget. (making links isn't working all of a sudden? did another chunk of zilty's body just fall off?) |

Well, I'm reading The Lay of the Nibelungs right now. And it's very similar to a blockbuster-movie. Icelandic princesses that beat up Teutonic kings, muscular men in shiny red armor, rape-scenes. So yes, The Avengers is probably like Homer even though I don't know the plot of the Avengers. |

I think Tolkien cribbed a lot from Germanic mythology, I believe Tolkien is actually a german name as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, Tolkien's ancestors are from East Prussia just like mine :O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess lord of the rings then is Germanic/norse mythological traditions filtered through the British landscape and culture, especially the Shire representing rural England |

What I'd like to know is why society only allows us to specify our third person pronouns, when it's the first and second person pronouns that really matter. I mean it's pretty shitty when some asshole is using the wrong pronouns behind my back, but it's 100 times worse when he does it to my face. And my own use of the wrong first person pronouns could point to some serious inner conflict |

He's known for downplaying differences between myths, and cherry-picking the bits that suit his opinions. Like if you said spaghetti and sushi were both a type of sandwich. You got yer starch, meat, vegetables. The hero food's journey through the stomach. |

ah yeah ok, so he is saying all monomyths are from the same origin, but in reality they are quite different |
||||||||
|

His monomyth theory is a and any story can be made to fit if you're willing to mutilate it enough, tie it in knots, cut the tits off, etc. |
