Y’all ever stop and think about Joseph Campbell and Hero With A Thousand Faces and, like, how maybe he made a lot of thick smoke and had some dope, bendy mirrors?

THAT ALL BEING SAID here are some links i think might help you out and highlight how the monomyth does not play nice with typical holywood storytelling and Not Everything Is A Damn Hero's Journey https://www.huffingtonpost.com/craig-chalquist-phd/why-i-seldom-teach-the-he_b_6739046.html … https://narrativefirst.com/articles/not-everything-is-a-heros-journey …
Also I highly recommend that everyone read Save the Cat before diving into any plot structure nonsense. Blake Snyder's plot classifications are not about genre, not about the Hero's Journey, and WAY more flexible https://www.amazon.com/Save-Cat-Blake-Snyder-ebook/dp/B00340ESIS/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1538303743&sr=1-1&keywords=save+the+cat …

Yesssss. I’m here for it. I definitely need to read Save The Cat! I think the application aspect is compelling, but I’m also interested in different (critical) takes on the way he drew his initial suppositions about story and structure to begin with. I suspect mumbo jumbo.pic.twitter.com/aTldOecNd9

Honestly I think Save the Cat is the quintessential example of trying to use the monomyth as a rigid story template. It’s all form over function, which I think is how so many stories fall apart.
