Hello friend, I just discovered your channel and I loved this video. As you rightly say, there's a saturation of conversations about the hero's journey, and I believe there's a need for videos that review this monomyth. As someone who's also starting to upload videos about film and narrative, it's inspiring to see channels like yours. Subscribed :)

Douglas A Burton released a about two month ago a book called the Heroine's Labyrinth, which I think is also a very interesting take a feminine heroes ad the stories around them.

Thanks. I’ll have to check that out. Maybe a future video essay.

Hello friend I appreciate a lot someone talking about the Heroine's Journey and I loved the way you explained it. However, with all due respect, I disagree with all the examples being male-centric narratives, mostly because the way I see it the Heroine's Journey is marked by a loss and disenfranchisement that comes from a flawed system that she must change and the type of disenfranchisement present for women is different than for men simply by their nature. As well, I somewhat disagree with Harry Potter and Thor since they do use violence and they do not have the same type of rejection a woman might have.... Anyways, thank you so much for talking about this

Hi Friend, I didn’t know we were so close. I do completely understand your reading that a Heroine is naturally wronged by an unjust patriarchal system. And I agree those are aspects of the OG goddess mythologies. I don’t agree that they set out to change the system, I’m not sure I can think of a goddess myth that accomplishes that. They most center on getting back what is there’s or are just continuing to be oppressed by the system. But remember, I’m exclusively talking about the narrative being gendered not the character. Every point I make about Harry Potter comes from Carriger’s book that is not my own example. You can reach out to her, she’s very responsive. Thor and Nemo are my own examples. Thor and Harry may use violence but they do not exclusively use violence and violence is means by which the obtain their boon. Now perhaps that introduces a sliding scale or “spectrum” of gendered narratives some leaning more masculine and some more feminine and there’s arguments for and against any narrative because they are all open to interpretation. But thank so much for this comment. I am over the moon to see someone engaging with something I created this thoughtfully. Perhaps there is a greater thesis to pull out of this conversation. I don’t quite see it yet but this is a start…. Of a wonderful friendship. 💙

* Calls the character "Vincini" 😵 * Calls one of most famous characters in cinema, whose catch phrase literally contains his name, "Indigo"😑 Name of the channel checks out I guess. But seriously though, very interesting video
