The Heroo's Journey

I figured everybody knew about Joseph Campbell, at least by high school. Stories of heroes have been passed down for so many years and always will be. There are very select reasons why people want to hear these stories, Campbell is one of the major players in dissecting the formula and creating dialogue about it.

Consider Superman... If you didn't give him human attachments, mentoring and a weakness to a specific green rock, he'd just be a buff ass alien dude dickpunching people into the sun. Folks would get tired of that shit quick.

Once you start deviating too far from the basic constructs of the hero's journey, that's when you see shit getting stupid. Just look at the last Star Wars movie, it fucking sucked.

anybody that wants to write on any level needs to peep that shit forreal.

yall ever peep the doc Zeitgeist tho?
