in this instance, it's a very pure version of the archetype because we learn that his father is SECRETLY the king - here a famous former football star
thus Kaepernick's arc is especially classic hero's journey
he's jon snow
young arthur
etc
moses
although the moses thing is interesting because it is like the mirror-world hero's journey
which is used to show the spiritual supremacy of god's chosen people
also black
the mixed race part is important too
for the inversion, definitely.
in the classic version, the "mixture" is divine + mortal
I meant more just to push that thing, a future "united race"
for sure but I think it comports with my theory
as well
because the hero is the hero partially because of his mixed nature. His years unrecognized allow him sympathy, understanding, etc for those he must eventually rule, even though they are technically beneath him.
jesus, hercules, etc
here, it's not divine and mortal admixture but racial
with the structural implication that to be black is to be divine
yeah he's Naruto
early on at least, Naruto is a young strapping boy in a ninja village
who hates no one, but who everyone fears because in him has been locked a raging fox demon
that earlier terrorized the village
MOTHER IS CZECH AND IRISH
[[[ IRISH ]]]
...
ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE
LATEST PODCAST
so what's his arc? he comes to terms with his demon side and gains power but retains his sympathy and good nature toward his humble origins?
yeah sorta
it gets kind of crazy later on
as in retarded crazy
but that's pretty much the arc
It jumped the shark to milk the cash cow
and the power level transcended 9000
some of the laziest shit of all time
haha a buddy of mine really likes it. I always mean to check it out but never do.
was done in that manga
it was so lazy
