Re: LEAST FAVORITE TROPE

[(Anonymous)]

it straight up comes from the Hero's Journey (thanks a fucking lot Joeseph Campbell), which I studied in college, but I can't remember all the tiny details of his explanation. He coined it based on a common trope already in centuries of mythology, so it's not like it's a new trope. But I swear to god we're so over it and need to move on and couch our heroes' journeys in better framework. tl;dr I agree but check out commentary on the Hero's Journey to figure out where this trope comes from.

Honestly, I think the entire Hero's Journey is bullshit. It seems to me like it's built around the idea of maintaining the status quo by growing into the social role of a person who defeats outside threats. What if I don't LIKE the status quo?

Re: LEAST FAVORITE TROPE

What bugs me about the Hero's Journey, as a trope, is that people use it very prescriptively.

Campbell wasn't saying, all of these things must happen in such and such an order, he was saying, a lot of these things turn up quite a lot of the time.

He wasn't trying to make a hammer to beat writers with, is what I'm saying.
