I rename it the "Struggler's Journey" since not all protagonists have to be heroes or virtuous. For example you could just like crime fiction stories because you like suspense. The protagonist could just be a story of a spy or jewel thief and the story is the struggle to get past the tight security of a dictator's mansion or palace to steal a special artifact that is worth a lot of money. (eg Conan the Barbarian played the role of a thief in his young days). As long as their is a struggle, a challenge or a game to be won, the reader will want to hear about how they got past it and what happened to them when they attempted the challenge. (alpha males love risks so risks require courageous people willing to take them to go on the journey - we call it "having big balls" in the manosphere) It's interesting because of risk. No risk? No story. That's why Rey Skywalker sucks as a character. She is literally a god. LOL That's like watching a basketball game where Michael Jordan is playing one on one against special needs kid in a wheelchair and the kid doesn't even know the rules of basketball. haha ie There is no story.there. In that story Michael is not a hero but a overpowered bully. There is no struggle or challenge so its boring. That is the main problem of leftists: they think power is interesting for the sake of it. They only care that a super hero is powerful not that he has to fight even more-powerful super villain that have advantages over the hero to cause the hero to struggle to get his victories. (known as hard work - without hard work you got no story. Anakin Skywalker is arguably the same as Rey in terms of power level right? But Anakin still had to learn how to fight with lightsabers from Jedi training. That's the difference between Geroge Lucas and Disney era stories: they ignore the crucial element that makes audience like your characters which is they must grow and go on a journey) In manga comics characters usually have to start off with nothing and are dumber at the start of a story than they are after the end of a story arc. (Would Goku in the popular Dragonball Z manga ever have become Super Saiyan if his rival Vegita didn't fight him as the antagonist?) The woke mob has no idea how to tell a story of a underdog since they are likely pampered by their parents growing up and given everything. Whereas in japan they are hard working people who value you based on merit and skills. Some of the most interesting people in sports are self-taught and became legends after they broke from established norms. So the hero's journey is real. Jon Jones (learned MMA through watching youtube videos and considered the GOAT) Bruce Lee (got to fame because he made films with philosophy that goes against the grain of tradition) and many others.

They just keep destroying her character.

Why would there be any need to perform experiments in science, if scientists only ever engage in self-reference? In that case, there would be no need to build laboratories or equipment and scientists could just sit around at a desk playing around with words all day like the postmodernists. Scientists could then pocket all of that grant money for themselves. A scientist must place nature above himself. Nature has the final say in science, not the scientist. Anyone who willfully places himself or his beliefs above the truth as it is reflected within nature is by definition not a scientist. That is regardless of whatever credentials society may have granted to him and regardless of his participation in any research. The idea of putting the truth over personal feelings is central to the practice of science, and in the case of scientific theory comes directly from Aristotle. If you have come to believe that science is opposed to Aristotelian ideas, then I don't know what to say, other than that postmodern rhetoric has warped your perception of science like it has warped so many other things.

To Add: Science is the search for reliable knowledge, or simply: Science is the search for the truth. Technically it was the Aristotelian Logic, Epistemology and the Empiricism that laid the foundation for science. Roger Bacon (13th century) expressed it fantastically (paraphrasing): There is only so much knowledge or truth in a subject as there is mathematics in it. (The developed formal Logic is a derivate of the discovered mathematics, but it took us over 2k years to understand this.) But it was Francis Bacon the father of modern Empiricism that laid the groundwork for the science theory and it methods in "Novum Organum". Science is realism and is antithetic to idealism and anti-realism.

There might be a confusion between the circle of a good life and the circle of story telling as described as "the heros journey". The circle of good life is a kind of a spirale that goes to a center of truth, but never reachs it. The heros journey in storytelling is mostly one or maybe two rounds of this circle and the individual stations on this cicle are described more prominently than in real life. When real people come at some point to this revelation that finding "the truth" or living the perfect life is a goal that never can be fullfilled, it just might happen that they quit. This is what happens with most of real people. They give up and don't go for the best life but, only for the comfortablest life. Another group (here called progressives, but all ideologs fall in this trap) moves the goal of "the truth" to "my truth". And if they do so, they don't feel the need anymore to go the full circle. They start to cheat and go straight foreward to their new goal without getting more competent or virtuous and never really come to the point of temperance. Modern storytelling is therefore mostly about the quitters as they are the biggest group of people and most of the storytellers fall into this group, too. And sometimes stories go about the cheaters that modern storytellers see as the new and better heros than the real heros.

The journey does not define a hero, but a hero will demonstrate his virtues through a journey. First of all, going through a journey is a heroic act on itself.

@@MrAwsomeness360 they fantasise about attaining power. That is why they think virtue is dumb. To get power they likely will sell out to the i-lluminati to get it at the expense of thier soul. You see it all the time in the corporate world where the bad boss cuts corners, fires workers and takes all the credit for the ideas and gets a promotion for making the company a bit more money. There is a sense that you must be mean to get ahead or else you will fall behind. This is why people no longer like capitalism when taken to extreme and causes communists to gain so much power with the youth: they were used like cattle to work but no reward for doing the work. So they drop out of school, take drugs, and feel justified being lazy (the opposite end ofthe extreme from being greedy and materialistic) and they grow up just wanting to take power from other people no matter if you earned it honestly or earned it through imorral means. The woke comic books reflect their need to have power to remove power from who they perceive "don't deserve it". For the communist they see their crusade as fixing the problem of powerful people who don't deserve it bullying everyone. For the rest of us its our desire to punish wicked people with no morals. That is where the dvivde exist: we see it as evil exist and must be stopped from spreading and they see it as "I must get more power!" and so they don't know what good or bad is when they are the one with the power. They just know they have the power and don't care if what they do is just or unjust. For the communist they see justice as everyone being equally as miserable as they feel and dragging everyone down with them. But to normal people we want to lift people UP to be higher than what they are. So this is why manga comics are doing so well because they are neutral. In manga you can still have a story about say an evil person like a vampire, and the struggle is to compete against other vampire clans to protect his clan and that can be interesting story to tell. The world could be evil but its about survivalism. The vampire wants to improve himself and be better leader just like a hero does from a comic book, and people can accept this but not see it as a "guide on how to behave in real life". Just like you can watch a show like Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy and not have any interest in being a criminal but just like the story of family. The hero's journey doesn't necessarily mean you are a hero but just a person with struggle to overcome. The purpose of the struggle is to show the reader that change to adapt to something and gain victory requires work or correct actions to overcome the challenge. (just like learning a skill like martial arts: you will start off dumb, get smarter and wiser, and be the end of the course you master a skill that grants you enlightenment to overcome the struggle and now you are stronger for the experience. If you apply that to a villain it would be "how does the bank robber get past al the guards without detection so he can pull off the heist to be able to retire?" The story is about how he overcame that challenge and not a guide on how to be a sucessful criminal oir an endorsement of stealing things. The hero's journey can also be a villain's journey and you the reader just have to be entertained by that struggle for it to be deemed "a good story". The crime fiction genre is example of bad guy overcoming good guys to feed himself. Liberals like that because they see themselves as victims of the oppressor and this victim mindset appeals to them more than the strong man fighting injustice. Real justice to commies is taking power from the perceived oppressors and unfortunately that means they WOULD commit a crime if cops did not exist to get in ther way.) If Batman had to catch robin hood, the liberals would say the good guy is the thief taking riches from the rich to give to the poor (themselves). And the conservatives would say batman is the good guy fighting injustice and retrieving the diamonds. This is why I think it should just be renamed struggler's journey. Struggler becaue he lacks the skill necessary to improve himself to get the result he desires. That's what good stories basically are: the listener wants to hear "how did the game player win the game and score a goal? I want to hear it because it's hard for me to do. Hearing a story helps to inspire me to improve at the game and if I hear it I will gain insight into what it takes to succeed". <-- this is what makes an audience want to listen. If there is no struggle there is no story which is why when Rey Skywalker was introduced into the Star Wars Sequel trilogy I instantly knew this was bad story-telling because the feminist went directly for a Mary Sue character to brainwash little girls into believing that they don't need to work hard to obtain a goal. I was proven right. Nobody likes this character but still loves Anakin Skywalker.(both characters are overly powerful in the lore but Anakin still has to learn how to sword fight effectively and curb his impulsive behavior to win his battles against more-patient and wise light saber users who know more than Anakin. So even though Anakin could be said to be a Gary Stue he really isn't because if Obi-Wan didn't teach him how to fight well he would still be loser and would not reach his potential. Rey on the other hand has everything given to her.)

It is clear when someone wants to be validated for simply existing and provide nothing of no value, i see know why comic creators despite Stan Lee so much he was all of what they tried to be, didn't write, didn't draw just signed the comics and got all the recognition. This prestige, glory seeking is just a plague to the level that they even know that you have to become a sellout hop in into a trend and do what their vice would let them.
Fourth age are you Catholic? This video sounds very Catholic
The irony of the so called progressives, is that while they keep pretending that their ideas are new and untested, they're still promoting an ideology that has consistently failed for over 200 years.
RJ. In this video you state that Progressivism is bad but at no point do you explain why. I'm curious about which aspects of Progressivism you specifically have a problem with.
25:28 ✅
I going to have to listen to this again as it pointed in a direction for my mind to wander. The progressive hero's journey seems not to be acquiring strength but shedding of limitations. It's almost an alchemical process. "The hero's alchemy".
Sale the seven seas don’t give money to people that hate you.
Question: Would this fan baiting strategy have been possible in a pre internet era? The feed back between all of the parties involved, would have been a lot slower in the “snail mail” era.
The Tradition Story has the Journey change and shape the hero The "Progressive" story the Journey change to whims and wants of the "hero"
You reported it, too. Weak garbage.
People employed to tell the stories of those with great virtue. While having none of those virtues. Perhaps that's why their characters only symbolically represent aspects of their political ideology, not actual living people. Making them personally repugnant, even disgusting.
Fair
for gods sake!! one came here expecting to watch and listen about comics and the results is a 40 minutes monologue from and amateur philosopher about forms, estetic, etc... what a waste of my precious time.
This video is as profoundly baseless and meandering, very boring stuff. He just goes on and on while sniffing his own farts about some ‘narrative theory’ which is likely why his own comics look incredibly dull and flat
Last week going after Sowell, and this week Campell's Hero's Journey, you have been on an absolute roll lately. I love when you express my thoughts on things. We have different personalities, so we describe the problem in completely different ways, it's great to see how to explain it to people in different ways--which are probably more effective than how I do it.
Honestly, my biggest problem with rpg companions over the past decade is that they don't come across as characters in the setting. They come across as random larpers who couldn't care less about it. The only RPG made in the last decade where i actually liked and played with the characters in the game were the dogmatic characters + the seneschal from Rogue Trader.
The notion of progress is the lie we tell ourselves to shield us from terrors of the future.
holy shit my dude you have no idea how much of an massive awakening i just had halfway trough your video, i could not possibly put into words the type of world changing *click* you pushed me into, taking into account what you just said here and aplying to Carl Jung archerypes along side with Joseph Campbell theories i dare say this is the most important video in this entire plataform. absolutely insane.
Thank you, RJ!
I rename it the "Struggler's Journey" since not all protagonists have to be heroes or virtuous. For example you could just like crime fiction stories because you like suspense. The protagonist could just be a story of a spy or jewel thief and the story is the struggle to get past the tight security of a dictator's mansion or palace to steal a special artifact that is worth a lot of money. (eg Conan the Barbarian played the role of a thief in his young days). As long as their is a struggle, a challenge or a game to be won, the reader will want to hear about how they got past it and what happened to them when they attempted the challenge. (alpha males love risks so risks require courageous people willing to take them to go on the journey - we call it "having big balls" in the manosphere) It's interesting because of risk. No risk? No story. That's why Rey Skywalker sucks as a character. She is literally a god. LOL That's like watching a basketball game where Michael Jordan is playing one on one against special needs kid in a wheelchair and the kid doesn't even know the rules of basketball. haha ie There is no story.there. In that story Michael is not a hero but a overpowered bully. There is no struggle or challenge so its boring. That is the main problem of leftists: they think power is interesting for the sake of it. They only care that a super hero is powerful not that he has to fight even more-powerful super villain that have advantages over the hero to cause the hero to struggle to get his victories. (known as hard work - without hard work you got no story. Anakin Skywalker is arguably the same as Rey in terms of power level right? But Anakin still had to learn how to fight with lightsabers from Jedi training. That's the difference between Geroge Lucas and Disney era stories: they ignore the crucial element that makes audience like your characters which is they must grow and go on a journey) In manga comics characters usually have to start off with nothing and are dumber at the start of a story than they are after the end of a story arc. (Would Goku in the popular Dragonball Z manga ever have become Super Saiyan if his rival Vegita didn't fight him as the antagonist?) The woke mob has no idea how to tell a story of a underdog since they are likely pampered by their parents growing up and given everything. Whereas in japan they are hard working people who value you based on merit and skills. Some of the most interesting people in sports are self-taught and became legends after they broke from established norms. So the hero's journey is real. Jon Jones (learned MMA through watching youtube videos and considered the GOAT) Bruce Lee (got to fame because he made films with philosophy that goes against the grain of tradition) and many others.
I wasn't aware of how averse you were to Niche. That might explain why you judged the Berserk anime the way you did and never tried to read the manga. The series does dive into the ideas of Niche but I would argue it's for the better. But I don't want to deviate from the topic you are discussing. I'll comment properly once I finish the video.
Niche is a self important idiot who can prove nothing he says. He is one of the cast of modernist thinkers who destroyed civilization.
A Hero is Selfless! By upholding objective truth via fundamental beliefs & virtuas heroism which reflects & emanates through his actions. That inspires the people of surroundings & society, which truly helps for the betterment of mankind. Live and Let Live!! This twisting and the subversion of Fortitude, Temperance, Prudence & Justice, (the objective realism & truth via virtuas heroic ideals) by these narcissist "progressives" clearly shows........the attack & annihilation of our way of life! Plus the unquestionable loyalty for our belief in traditional heroes journey that humbles & inspires us, by overcoming the challenges through prudence, which makes our morality & ethical actions more pragmatic and aligned with fortitude. But most of all......gets us more closer and strong belive in God Almighty & his revelation! Which these "obtuse idialogs" are in opposition of! In order to subjugate by rigorous control over the dominian, with their act's of villainous vice and the complete demoralisation of our fundamentals in objective truth. We may think them as being so naive or completely "stupid" of pushing their idiosyncrasies on thought provokingly delusional fallacies........Oh NO......an Oxymoron: they know what they're doing! They came at our virtuas ideals & fundamental beliefs with planning and infiltration of hierarchy. Plus with full resources and manpower in synchronous hive mindset while "making their history" and the nearing of their so called "perfectionist Utopia" Look in the examples of Satan! The being who challenged the Supreme God Almighty and to deceive his creation, by turning them from the righteous path to lead them astray. And "he knows" that God's truth...... IS THE ONE & ONLY RIGHTEOUS TRUTH! But STILL he's (Satan) inception in deceiving the nations is absolute vice.😈 RJ, you smoothly & brilliantly dismantle these "progressive idialogs" argument! And clearly show up propagandist flaws in their idiosyncratic Utopian fallacies by dissecting each segments........Masterful! 👑 Keep up the great spirit RJ!🙏
Intellectualism doesn’t stand up to reality. Intellectualism can't generate heroism because it isn't real, and it bears no responsibility.
I just learned that they retconned Carol Danvers origin from her getting her powers and being turned half Kree when the real Captain Marvel saved her and they were hit by an energy blast passing his bio energies to her, changing her to Marvel. The new origin is that her mom was a super special Kree woman pretending to be human, and that she had the power all along from her mother, and didn't get it from Captain Marvel. They just keep destroying her character. I really liked her as Warbird because it showed how all the trauma of Rogue and Immortus son affected her, and how she and Tony Stark both had alcohol problems, and she was on the journey of redemption and was flawed and interesting, instead of the monstrously progressive perfect horror they turned her into.
She's only one of their symbols of selfish self adulation now. Far less than an actual human.
The hero's journey is just one journey. The fools journey is another. There are a good number of stories.
Modern stories are often written by females, who don't understand the concept of struggle.
Why would there be any need to perform experiments in science, if scientists only ever engage in self-reference? In that case, there would be no need to build laboratories or equipment and scientists could just sit around at a desk playing around with words all day like the postmodernists. Scientists could then pocket all of that grant money for themselves. A scientist must place nature above himself. Nature has the final say in science, not the scientist. Anyone who willfully places himself or his beliefs above the truth as it is reflected within nature is by definition not a scientist. That is regardless of whatever credentials society may have granted to him and regardless of his participation in any research. The idea of putting the truth over personal feelings is central to the practice of science, and in the case of scientific theory comes directly from Aristotle. If you have come to believe that science is opposed to Aristotelian ideas, then I don't know what to say, other than that postmodern rhetoric has warped your perception of science like it has warped so many other things.
To Add: Science is the search for reliable knowledge, or simply: Science is the search for the truth. Technically it was the Aristotelian Logic, Epistemology and the Empiricism that laid the foundation for science. Roger Bacon (13th century) expressed it fantastically (paraphrasing): There is only so much knowledge or truth in a subject as there is mathematics in it. (The developed formal Logic is a derivate of the discovered mathematics, but it took us over 2k years to understand this.) But it was Francis Bacon the father of modern Empiricism that laid the groundwork for the science theory and it methods in "Novum Organum". Science is realism and is antithetic to idealism and anti-realism.
Theorhetical physics in a nutshell.
@@mikebrines5708 Especially the String Theorists with their XX dimensions. Technically they started out in creating models that explained the observed phenomena. But they went very fast forward and stumbled upon Quantum Mechanics so that the experimental physics could not hold up with them. Now they play with mathematics in an unobservable space and concepts like the String Theory or Loop Quantum Gravity within Plank space and time and before the existence of the Universe, while they ask themself if the Space and Time comes in quanta.

anything involving superman?
@@warlord8106 Do you have a Superman in mind? Maybe if I re-read some comics but for now, no. There's many interpretations of Superman I remembered enjoying since childhood though. I liked Superman written by Alan Moore, Mark Waid, Peter Tomasi (it was my favorite run I was buying from DC Rebirth and I had the Superman looking up smiling saying, "Morning" as my wallpaper...it was the most I enjoyed a DC run since Geoff John's Aquaman...I also had Fleischer Superman holding his cape over Lois protecting her from lava as my wallpaper ) Paul Dini, Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns wasn't my ideal Batman or Superman but back then I thought they were well written compelling characters...I actually thought it was the best superhero comic I ever read besides Frank Miller's Batman Year One, Gerry Conway's and Marv Wolfman's Batman runs, Stan Lee's Captain America and Spider-man, and Alan Davis' JLA: The Nail), Mark Millar, Jeph Loeb, and thought what I read of Roger Stern's Superman comics was one of the best written superhero characterizations I read but didn't finish it... I tried reading Superman comics from the Jerry Siegel Joe Shuster 1938 beginning but was bored in the beginning. However, I liked the 1944 Superman 30 "The Mysterious Mr. Mxyzptlk." It's like the Superman TAS episode "Mxyzpixilated," which is one of my all time favorite tv episodes! Up there with The Wally West Justice League Unlimited "Flash and the Substance" (my favorite DCAU episode!) and Wally West Teen Titans episode "Lightspeed" for fun! I also liked Smallville! He didn't rank for me though. Also, I considered Batman the second best superhero after Spider-man, who I consider a flawed hero, but I consider Batman an anti-hero so he wouldn't make my list. Hope you and yours have a good week!
When the morality of the story teller is the opposite of the morality of the reader, it's not shocking that those stories would fail. The Acolyte is a perfect example
Exactly
It’s honestly shocking that Anime succeeds, considering that most of the manga authors identifies with the villains instead of the heroes
There might be a confusion between the circle of a good life and the circle of story telling as described as "the heros journey". The circle of good life is a kind of a spirale that goes to a center of truth, but never reachs it. The heros journey in storytelling is mostly one or maybe two rounds of this circle and the individual stations on this cicle are described more prominently than in real life. When real people come at some point to this revelation that finding "the truth" or living the perfect life is a goal that never can be fullfilled, it just might happen that they quit. This is what happens with most of real people. They give up and don't go for the best life but, only for the comfortablest life. Another group (here called progressives, but all ideologs fall in this trap) moves the goal of "the truth" to "my truth". And if they do so, they don't feel the need anymore to go the full circle. They start to cheat and go straight foreward to their new goal without getting more competent or virtuous and never really come to the point of temperance. Modern storytelling is therefore mostly about the quitters as they are the biggest group of people and most of the storytellers fall into this group, too. And sometimes stories go about the cheaters that modern storytellers see as the new and better heros than the real heros.
Well said.
This reminds me of the idea that most people want to be told things that reinforce how they already see things, while a much smaller number of people understand they do not know everything and are working to improve themselves.
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” - Toni Morrison We live in a world that tells us that there is no such thing as heroes. Be the good that you want to see in the world.
"The facts of nature cannot in the long be violated. Penetrating and seeping through everything like water, they will undermine any system that fails to take them into account.”-Jung Jung was on our side. -------------- Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on science.
What of those who would pervert science to defy nature and natures laws? Should we "trust" them, too?

"Evil is the force that believes its knowledge is complete." ~Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
Uncertainty is the unifying factor in ethical and moral theories.
The journey does not define a hero, but a hero will demonstrate his virtues through a journey. First of all, going through a journey is a heroic act on itself. It shows courage against the fear of uncertainty. Try and error is essential to learn and grow as a person. Hence, the journey has a role, although I agree it isn't the most essential part of being a hero.
To Add: The failure / error of the hero comes from fact that he does not align with the reality. The heroes growth is through the alignment and understanding of the reality, which leads to his victory / success at the end. Therefore Sir Gawain understands after the his encounter with the Green Knight the reality of Artus court and the Knights of the Round Table and he goes into contemplation about it.
Progressive “heroes” aren’t heroes.
very nice.
Just like it says in the Bible: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil..." You've expanded upon and philosophically explored that whole concept rather nicely with this one. Keep the enlightening videos and shared thoughts coming, Sir.
I looked up Augustine of hippo to get a refresher. The first thing google showed me was this article “I Hate St. Augustine and So Should You” by Women in theology. Progressive really ruin and distort everything. I didn’t bother reading the article. A theologian encouraging people to hate a saint shouldn’t be listened to obviously. How can you love your enemies if you hate your saints?
The people putting out these stories identify more with villains than heroes. Tells you a lot about them.
It's why the 'heroes' they write just sound like preach bots mouthing off generic platitudes about hollow 'virtues' like tolerance, while they write the 'villains' to represent anything that deranges them, usually traditional ideals, so they can express their spiteful disdain of them that way, usually in a comically violent way. Very deranged individuals. In terms of games, one need look no further than FF14's Dawntrail expansion for exactly this type of writing... it was there in the previous one but not to this degree. Outright influenced by one of their more SJW localizers.
It really puts their character into question. If they find the VILLAIN relatable, that's an instant red flag to stay away from them for good.
@@MrAwsomeness360 they fantasise about attaining power. That is why they think virtue is dumb. To get power they likely will sell out to the i-lluminati to get it at the expense of thier soul. You see it all the time in the corporate world where the bad boss cuts corners, fires workers and takes all the credit for the ideas and gets a promotion for making the company a bit more money. There is a sense that you must be mean to get ahead or else you will fall behind. This is why people no longer like capitalism when taken to extreme and causes communists to gain so much power with the youth: they were used like cattle to work but no reward for doing the work. So they drop out of school, take drugs, and feel justified being lazy (the opposite end ofthe extreme from being greedy and materialistic) and they grow up just wanting to take power from other people no matter if you earned it honestly or earned it through imorral means. The woke comic books reflect their need to have power to remove power from who they perceive "don't deserve it". For the communist they see their crusade as fixing the problem of powerful people who don't deserve it bullying everyone. For the rest of us its our desire to punish wicked people with no morals. That is where the dvivde exist: we see it as evil exist and must be stopped from spreading and they see it as "I must get more power!" and so they don't know what good or bad is when they are the one with the power. They just know they have the power and don't care if what they do is just or unjust. For the communist they see justice as everyone being equally as miserable as they feel and dragging everyone down with them. But to normal people we want to lift people UP to be higher than what they are. So this is why manga comics are doing so well because they are neutral. In manga you can still have a story about say an evil person like a vampire, and the struggle is to compete against other vampire clans to protect his clan and that can be interesting story to tell. The world could be evil but its about survivalism. The vampire wants to improve himself and be better leader just like a hero does from a comic book, and people can accept this but not see it as a "guide on how to behave in real life". Just like you can watch a show like Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy and not have any interest in being a criminal but just like the story of family. The hero's journey doesn't necessarily mean you are a hero but just a person with struggle to overcome. The purpose of the struggle is to show the reader that change to adapt to something and gain victory requires work or correct actions to overcome the challenge. (just like learning a skill like martial arts: you will start off dumb, get smarter and wiser, and be the end of the course you master a skill that grants you enlightenment to overcome the struggle and now you are stronger for the experience. If you apply that to a villain it would be "how does the bank robber get past al the guards without detection so he can pull off the heist to be able to retire?" The story is about how he overcame that challenge and not a guide on how to be a sucessful criminal oir an endorsement of stealing things. The hero's journey can also be a villain's journey and you the reader just have to be entertained by that struggle for it to be deemed "a good story". The crime fiction genre is example of bad guy overcoming good guys to feed himself. Liberals like that because they see themselves as victims of the oppressor and this victim mindset appeals to them more than the strong man fighting injustice. Real justice to commies is taking power from the perceived oppressors and unfortunately that means they WOULD commit a crime if cops did not exist to get in ther way.) If Batman had to catch robin hood, the liberals would say the good guy is the thief taking riches from the rich to give to the poor (themselves). And the conservatives would say batman is the good guy fighting injustice and retrieving the diamonds. This is why I think it should just be renamed struggler's journey. Struggler becaue he lacks the skill necessary to improve himself to get the result he desires. That's what good stories basically are: the listener wants to hear "how did the game player win the game and score a goal? I want to hear it because it's hard for me to do. Hearing a story helps to inspire me to improve at the game and if I hear it I will gain insight into what it takes to succeed". <-- this is what makes an audience want to listen. If there is no struggle there is no story which is why when Rey Skywalker was introduced into the Star Wars Sequel trilogy I instantly knew this was bad story-telling because the feminist went directly for a Mary Sue character to brainwash little girls into believing that they don't need to work hard to obtain a goal. I was proven right. Nobody likes this character but still loves Anakin Skywalker.(both characters are overly powerful in the lore but Anakin still has to learn how to sword fight effectively and curb his impulsive behavior to win his battles against more-patient and wise light saber users who know more than Anakin. So even though Anakin could be said to be a Gary Stue he really isn't because if Obi-Wan didn't teach him how to fight well he would still be loser and would not reach his potential. Rey on the other hand has everything given to her.)
You ‘know’ that movie their making. About the wicked witch being a good guy. That was made into a scapegoat is going to be god awful.
It's the cultural divide that exists in this nation. I think JR touched upon its basis, a belief in self referential "truth." They believe if they believe in something then it's "true."
Others don't exist for the sake of one's amusement. ...One does not exist for the sake of one's own amusement.
In summary, yes.
