RE: How Venom Became The Amazing Spider Man’s Best Friend in 1985

oh yes, it's as old as time for our kind, isn't it? The Chaldean, Nordic, Egyptian, Greek, Roman mythologies (etc.) and the archetype of the hero. You make an interesting point that in current times, the hero is someone we like to see fall. Almost as if the Jungian archetype that we all know and find in comfort in has been "hacked" in the collective unconscious. That is very fascinating; that could be quite a sociological/anthropological thesis (or future Steemit post!)

I hate to see the hero fall, personally, but I'll have to pay more attention to that meme going forward. Thanks again for the comment.

And I do have tix for the movie tomorrow night, so hope to have a minor review finished up this week.
