      Somebody has never taken mythology.

      Spoiler Alert: Every story ever told has been told 1000 times before. Its the natural consequence of being part of a species that has had language for 12000 years and is obsessed with storytelling. What matters is the execution, not how unique the idea is.

      Trying to imagine someone dying happy is a shared idea a lot want. Is it used a lot and sometimes with little effort, oh hell yeah. It’s a simple ingredient for storytelling that is gonna be used a lot. It’s like complaining there is flour in all your baked goods. It’s common, not cheap.
      The question is was it a good dish anyways?

      I think this one was a light snack. Nice. Not filling but nice.
