>Dear Fedora tipper this is you being a functional illiterate cunt talking right now for writing that very contradictory sentence.
So you're just admitting you know not even the basics of what you're talking about? Some of the most popular and influential mythologies have various popular and influential stories that can't agree on basic things like characters' parentage or who is the god of what. But we can still look at the individual stories themselves and what they're saying and appreciating them on their own, and the connections that do exist with others, even if there are also contradictions.
>Provides no sauce for his claims
The source is your post, the one I was replying to, where you did those things.
>Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley is basically fan fiction written
So you can separate that sequel because it's by another author, but not other sequels that are by other authors. And then you also went and used many examples of other stories written by many different authors as points in your favor. You're contradicting yourself very heavily, and it didn't have to happen. You just used a bunch of ridiculous examples that don't match the points you made at all.
>but I will mention that I do find it interesting that the Bible was the first thing you latched to in your complaints about cannon and not say the Cannon scriptures of Hinuism or Buddhism and their contradictions.
I did mention Greek and Norse, though, because they're much more interesting mythologies that I like a lot more than Buddhist and Hinduism. I don't care about those ones. I am complimenting the ones I'm talking about quite a lot, and saying that it they do have value regardless of inconsistencies. Also, you're the one who brought up Greek mythology and the bible. You're mad that I'm responding directly to your points now? Gilgamesh is a single story we have from one source, so it's quite a different beast, as are the Ring Cycle and Gone with the Wind, for similar reasons.
The American Western is a fucking baffling example since it's a genre and not even a story, unless you're looking at actual history, and of course real history, especially modern, quite well documented history, is very different from mythologies and the examples of fiction you listed.
>But then I remembered you wrote this (most likely because you loved the old cape comics you grew up with):
Actually, the capeshit comics I love are way too autistic for kids to understand. I never got into capeshit until I was already finished high school.
