  1. My main issue isn't the feminist heroes' journey but why should I spend my time to watch it when I don't relate to it? I think a lot of the male audience feels the same way. Besides if they have a female supervisor/boss there is enough 'empowerment' on a daily basis. It's enough.. I do think that the traditional heroes' journey is more male oriented and deals with more male issues than female. The Witcher's journey is not just a heroes' journey but a wisdom quest and a quest for wholeness combined. To me that is superior to a heroes' journey by itself. I don't know of any other franchise that has all three combined, usually they only have one. Ciri's story in the novels/games is a female heroes' journey. The Nolan Batman films are great to me as they are a heroes' journey combined with a wholeness quest.
  2. A bit related to this but I noticed that India seems to have a trend of 'nationalism' (not only their leader but a portion of the population think that India can become a superpower) and there is a small tension between China & India, a rather mutual contempt/annoyance at each other.
  3. i don't know. she could be just a friend of miranda
  4. which one?
  5. You can rotate them manually with microsoft paint or image viewer.

  7. I would watch Gossip Girl but only the Blake Lively parts
  8. her shorts are really sexy & cute, it is evident that she makes money off of men talking dirty with her lol.
  9. Variations of the basic model fits with a lot of religions and myths, and also great classical works like Dante's Divine Comedy. I think it also works well because it can be squeezed into a film format. The heroes journey has been criticized by feminists and they have their own heroes, journey, for feminists. I wouldn't be surprised if this Ashoka show used it. A major reason why I like the Witcher so much is that it has an extremely sophisticated version of the heroes' journey.
  10. Halfway done with Anna Karenina. I find myself dozing off a lot and bored in the middle segment of the story. Fundamentally the novel is about adultery and all its interpersonal consequences.
  11. Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return behind the scenes. Hayden Christensen, Darth Vader All the Scenes - YouTube
  12. viennien looks like scarlett leitold
  13. Wagner PMC released these claims on what they destroyed in Ukraine March 2022-May 2023. They announced that they will refit for 1-2 months and be deployed again. I think at this point Russia has done more fighting with Ukrainians, convicted criminals and PMCs than conventional forces.
  14. The new star wars looks like it's all women. I heard in the lore that Asoka was trained by Darth Vader!
  15. You seem to like blonde with super delicate features!
  16. her only flaw is that her forehead is too long
  17. Dolph Lundgren is filming Witcher: Dolph Lundgren Joins The Witcher's New Spinoff - Redanian Intelligence It is possible that he is playing Bonhart, Ciri's nemesis in the books.
