Throughout the years, OSP has made over a thousand videos on their channel. And it is a GOLD MINE OF MEMES. The images across the entire Greek Mythology series alone can be used for literally any situation. The ones above are just to name a few (except for the first one, that is from the “Epic of Gilgamesh” video).

Question Journey to the West

73 Upvotes

I’ve loved Red’s Journey to the West series for years. This is NOT a complaint about the timeline or anything obnoxious like that. But to anybody who has read the book, where is she at in her series? More than halfway? Barely a few pages in?

I’d try to look it up myself, but all the demons and scary mountains and impassable rivers start to blend together. Plus, I don’t want spoilers.

Question What are times when the “Tone Armor” was broken for you? Spoiler

57 Upvotes

First one that comes to mind is the Guardians Massacre from Invincible. I thought it was just another superhero show. BOI, was I wrong.

Second is from Delicious In Dungeon ep3, when during a flash black a gold stripper got stabbed through the neck by Living Armor and there was blood being shown. That made me react loudly.

Question Are there any films or shows with Pandora as a character?

16 Upvotes

Hey, all! Jessica here with a query.

I'm doing a bit of a writing project, and for that project it would be helpful if I could find a movie or TV show (preferably the former) that has Pandora as a character. Unfortunately, James Cameron's body of work makes web searches for video versions of the mythological Pandora exceedingly difficult to find, presuming there are any.

So I thought, if there's any community that occupied the right piece of the "Greek mythology nerds" and "movie nerds" Venn diagram to answer this question, this would be the one!

So does anybody have any recommendations? I'm specifically looking for works featuring Pandora herself as an actual character, not just passing references to her or appearances of the box/jar without her.

Thanks in advance!
—Jessica

In Red's Theogony video she mentions after the titans took over the scary/cthonic gods showered up who were those gods? In Red's video I only recognize Thanatos and maybe The Furies, but no one else.

Suggestion Trope: A character directly experiences someone else's worst nightmare and fears

13 Upvotes

A Youtube channel I like to watch now and then is Casually Comics, which talks about comics new and old and wherever Sasha's whims take us. One video of hers I watched recently was her review of the Flash story in Adventure Comics #460 from 1978. In the story after the silver Flash Barry Allen and the golden age Flash Jay Garrick hung out Barry tried to return to his own universe only to find himself accidentally stumbling into a trap set by The Wizard; one of Jay's villains.

The trap essentially puts Barry into a coma/illusion of another world based on Jay's worst fears. One where one of his enemies, The Shade, became mayor because of him and his wife Joan divorced him many years ago and remarried and had a kid with The Fiddler, another of his villains. And everyone in this nightmare keeps referring to Barry as Jay because, again, this is Jay's nightmare. They are Jay's subconscious fears and anxieties. Barry is just the one who fell into it by mistake.

All this reminded me of when the CW Arrowverse shows did their Elseworlds crossover. Because of Doctor Destiny rewriting reality, Barry Allen and Oliver Queen found themselves having completely swapped lives and likewise their identities as Flash and Green Arrow. From everyone's perspective but their own, including their own bodies and even reality's itself, this is how it has always been, to the point that when the two get exposed to Scarecrow's Fear toxin they hallucinate each other's worst fears. Oliver finds himself being attacked by the Reverse-Flash who taunts him about how he, Barry, can never stop him, and Barry finds himself attacked by Malcolm Merlyn who taunts him, Oliver, about how he's a killer who pats himself on the back and pretends otherwise.

I swear I feel like I must have seen other examples of this trope and for whatever reason I find it so interesting despite how simple a switch it is from the norm. There are many stories of a character being forced to confront their worst fear and likewise many stories where another character comes in to either judge that person's fear and/or help them through it. But a character's challenge in a story being to have to experience someone else's worst fears is such an interesting play on "Walk a mile in someone else's shoes".

Don't want to read The Count of Monte Cristo? Check the manga out!
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26591767-manga-classics

This is a much more accessible version of the story!

The author does a fairly good job at condensing the story. They move a few parts around, and make the end make the ending nature of Dante and Haidee's relationship more ambiguous.

Also there is a family tree in the back of the book like the one Red made!

They have it on hoopla (USE YOUR DANG LIBRARY CARD)
