I would argue the exact opposite and say that pretty much all of the Marvel and Disney stuff is largely lacking in artistic value and will be forgotten. I feel like people in 500 years would not be very interested in seeing 500 different variations of good guy beating bad guy.
- cellis 5y agoPerhaps, but that reminds me, I forgot to mention the Bible. Facepalm. Of course the religious texts will still exist, and provide evidence for why I disagree with you. The surviving "books of the Bible" per KJV were simply the most popular by the Church of the time, perhaps because they (I'm no theologian ) served the interests of the Church/elites better at the time. In any case, I'm betting more on "breadth", than "depth".
- muzani 5y agoI'd say most storytelling throughout history has been good guy vs bad guy. I bet there were similar stories in 1400 AD. Knight-errant was a major literary genre during that era, probably similar to the superhero genre today. Aristotle talks about three genres in Poetics: comedy, drama, and epic. He considered the epic as having the same elements as drama, but it's more reliant on song and spectacle. From the examples given, it sounds like Homer was the Stan Lee of the era.
