    Thumbing up for the comments to the post. From the page: "it's so quaint when younger people think they've discovered something new, when it's really as old as humanity itself. You could insert Jesus, Heracles, Perseus, Beowulf, and pretty much every other heroic... more

    Congratulations. You've just discovered the Monomyth. It's good to see that you paid attention in your High School English class.

    It was entertaining, but seriously. Study some Carl Jung.

    The reason they're so similar is because they're all based on the mythological pattern of "The Heroes Journey". Seriously, people.

    Joseph Campbell wrote "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" 60 years ago. I'm afraid this is not a unique insight.

    Well, Hollywood is incredibly stale. In reality, almost all epic stories over the the centuries have been like this. It's not about the base plot, but the journey and that's what separates all these kind of stories.

    I liked all those movies, but I thought this was clever. Thumbs up from me.

    Same old song and dance by these plebians who don't understand the hero's journey. You can make any two stories seem exactly the same if you use vague enough terms. For example, Harry doesn't "realize that he's a great wizard" after he defeats Quirril. And he didn't fight back against his teachers wishes, they *always* told Harry to fight back. Kirk was hardly living a miserable life that wasn't what it seemed. And Han challenges Luke's abilities? Where's that come from? The layout of this article is so confusing you can hardly keep track of what's being said.
