We are in an age where studios and publishers are very averse to risk, and I think that is why they have no use for mythology and folklore from outside the usual. They are terrified that if they do not give an audience the exact same experience they had last year, they will not be able to turn a profit.

Even now, when at last the two movies with the most hype are not Marvel or Star Wars, they are still familiar. The Manhattan Project is part of USian public consciousness, and Barbie has been a childhood mainstay for 60 years.

I think it would be great for a story to draw inspiration from other mythologies, and I even think that people would enjoy it. Humans are drawn to novel experiences. But I think the Powers That Be are far too afraid to try it. They are very attached to the idea that their customers can only handle a narrow set of stories.

Same as it ever was. That's why in the Golden Age of Hollywood we got FOURTEEN Francis the Talking Mule movies.
