    MovieBob Productions Retweeted Sturgeon's Law

    Much as I can understand raising an eyebrow given Smith's history with overstatement; the point - and IMO where he's probably correct in the OP - is that, on a long enough timeline, there's effectively ZERO difference between "fandom" and "inspiration"...https://twitter.com/Sturgeons_Law/status/1230705110247854081 …

    MovieBob Productions added,

    Sturgeon's Law @Sturgeons_Law
    The reason anyone can talk about "Cap wielding Mjolnir" now is that the actual ancient Norse faith has been reduced to a zombie existence primarily as comic book fantasy schlock--a very different mode than actual religion. The future will be about fandom, not inspiration. https://twitter.com/ThatKevinSmith/status/1230164991703166977 …

        ...that's not to say, at least as far as I'm concerned, "dopey Marvel movies are as important as religious mythology" - rather that (at least from a secular historical/anthropological POV) they seem to emerge from the same culture place, serving the same psychological purpose...

        ...with the only real substantive difference being time. I mean, if you want to say "No, religion is different because those movies are licensed product made for profit by a corporation" ...I mean, Catholicism and American Evangelicalism say "HOWDY!" 🤷‍♂️

        The fact that centuries of christian art can be talked about as 'fanart' without being technically wrong is proof of that.

        If the copyright on Superman, James Bond etc had expired when it was originally supposed to, we'd have multiple better versions in comics, novels, movies etc

      2. A mask of my own Jake, I'd wear that‏ @Bazukinier 22 Feb 2020
        Replying to @the_moviebob

        There is one thing worth noting, though: on the timeline that we currently have, the ancient inspirations weren't owned by anyone in particular, while the modern corporate rights owners will actively hold onto what should be public domain for ages.

        Depends how you want to define "ownership." Some ancient faiths are believed to have originated as common oral tradition, but others are KNOWN to have originated as creations of leaders, priestly classes or political states for the purpose of social order and control.
