Intentionally Blank
Portrayal of Iconic Heroes in Modern Storytelling
This chapter delves into the trend of modern storytelling that depicts iconic heroes like Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones in a negative light, contrasting them with newer, flawed characters to introduce conflict. The speakers analyze the psychological and sociological implications of this narrative trend, exploring the lack of trust in traditional figures and its connection to a nostalgia-driven period of art. They emphasize the importance of character development and redemption arcs in storytelling, comparing the treatment of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars to the Ghostbusters reboot with diverse characters and motivations.
