Unsurprisingly, another great post! I’m more of a Star Wars guy myself, but I’ve been known to dabble in Batman and had no idea that his parents dying and everything didn’t come until later. Fascinating. Also, the next chapter I’m posting today or tomorrow covers a lot of the same ground as this - the idea that the past is in some strange way dependent on how we perceive it in the present. Not that I should be surprised at this point when our writing serendipitously converges lol!
I seriously almost used George Lucas as an example as well, for him having taken from Japanese cinema and old westerns. Really glad you mentioned it.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how that kind of serendipitous chance happens with topics lately, either with the subconscious gravitating toward something that was recently seen or maybe just the vibe in the popular culture at the time. We definitely seem to be on a similar wavelength! Looking forward to it!
