Oh, yes! I can't resist saying: the first 3 minutes of "The Two Towers" are amongst my favourite in all cinema. They brought alive something that Tolkien had just barely hinted at in the books.

Isn't this more a competition/distribution question tbh? Or how P Thiel would like us to think about Google or something
Be the last search company...
Be the last canonical version of Hamlet.
The last version of what Christ was.
The last way to use present perfect in English.
I suppose if you're thinking of it as trying to win a competition between startups. But I'm quite happy to think of it otherwise. If myths have cultures, and that comes (in part) out of the act of subcreation, then who "wins" is really beside the point.

What I mean is that among myths there must have been a healthy competition where the better ones got passed on orally. Printing and canonising institutions changed that -- one version went into print and that's that (distribution). BTWhttps://twitter.com/TheAnnaGat/status/1015765674772385792 …

What I like about myth, in part, is that there is so much liberal borrowing and remixing. True in Hamlet, the LoTR, the Bible, Homer. I'm pretty sure much of the power comes from that.
