Metamodernism, Part 3 | The Metamodern Hero’s Journey

Can Joseph Campbell's "hero's journey" happen within metamodern storytelling? 

 

In today's episode, I help you understand how the structure of great myths like Homer's Illiad and The Odyssey, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars can still exist within the emerging metamodern storytelling aesthetic.

We'll explore how the critically acclaimed animated "Spider-verse" movies (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse & Across the Spider-Verse) give us a brilliant example of a metamodern hero's journey.
