[QUOTE="payn, post: 8693189, member: 90374"] I'd prefer Watchmen as I think its a better written story (both graphic novel and television series) to make the modern and regular mythology comparison. The Boys muddies the water because its all shock jock and caricaturization of political statements for cheap jokes. Its difficult to take seriously in any capacity and is a poor comparison to Greek/Roman mythology as it wasn't meant for cheap laughs. Even Watchmen isnt perhaps the best example. The real problem is this idea of perversity, which has changed greatly in the thousands of years since these OG Gods and myth stories were created and told. The stories were entertainment, but also moral tales to help guide morality among the population. Like Aseop fables for adults. The purpose of the stories isnt to examine the powerful and behind the curtain of their actions, its to warn people about their choices and consequences of certain actions. (Of course, those with influence chose the stories and consequences even then, so perhaps the story tellers are the best regular vs modern take to have?) [/QUOTE]
