I recently watched that ST:VOY episode with Leonardo Da Vinci so I can't stop mentally associating this guy with him
My favorite Tolstoy work is Anna Godzilla. It's about a giant pre-historic lizard who has an intense affair with an imperial Russian count before completely wiping out Saint Petersburg.
It's kinda true, but incomplete. There's twelve stories that we've told each other since antiquity
I watched a movie where a wizard bound souls to puppets and then those puppets killed the people that helped him learn how to bind souls to puppets.
Is that one of the 12?
Unironically, yes. Creations turning against their creators, classic. The wizard was probably set up as the personalization of some force or ideal, like a Greek god
And let me guess... This led events that set up some kind of call to adventure for a hero, who initially ignores the warning signs until something bad happens, then he goes on a journey through a wider world than he could ever have imagined, and after defeating the villain and/or ending the threat he returns home changed?
That's a total shot in the dark, I have no idea what movie you're talking about, but in modern storytelling we usually have an A and B plot. And the heroes journey is by far the most common story in media
How close was I? And what's the movie?
Yes.
It's a different number every time. All it really means is that people really like categorizing things.
There's only one story we've been telling each other since antiquity and it's that we only tell each other X stories to each other since antiquity.
I always say it's 12...
No, you seem to be relying on old data and are wrong. Newest estimate is that there are ~15.83 stories that we’ve told each other since antiquity
The third story is a sorority party not having enough money to pay the pizza delivery man
What are you doing step pizza delivery man?
You can almost hear the echo from within the washing machine
Mechagodzilla erasure
That's just a strange godzilla comes to town
Is this the Duck Dynasty guy?
