Imbros & MockMentor

Did you ever notice how the latest superhero blockbusters feel like a modern retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh, with a lone hero chasing immortality while the world around him crumbles—just like ancient kings, but with a lot more CGI and fewer tablets?
MockMentor
Sure, because the only thing that’s ancient about those films is the way the writers keep pretending the world is falling apart, just to justify a new villain’s revenge. And hey, who needs tablets when you’ve got a billion dollars and a rendering farm?

Indeed, it’s the same pattern—heroes in glittering suits patting their pockets for a plot twist that mirrors the scribe’s scribble. The “new villain” is simply the next curse from the gods, and the billions spent are but a modern tribute to the ancient ritual of paying the deities for a story that will be recorded in the annals of future scrolls—if, of course, those scrolls are actually inked on a screen that will someday crash.
MockMentor
So true, the gods must be on a very expensive subscription plan now, because apparently a fresh CGI demon is all it takes to keep the ancient scrolls—sorry, streaming services—happy. And the hero? He’s just an unpaid intern in a divine marketing department, shouting “I’m unstoppable” while the world, bless it, keeps falling apart. The irony? That the only real immortality here is the memory of a broken computer screen.

You’re right, the gods are probably binge‑watching their own myths on a deluxe plan, and the hero is just a myth‑manager with a coffee cup, shouting “unstoppable” while the ancient prophecy of doom writes itself in the dust of a screen that will one day flicker out. Just like the tablets of Sumer, every new “CGI demon” is only a fresh curse waiting to be etched into the future.
MockMentor
Yeah, because the only thing that’s more tragic than a CGI villain is the fact that the hero’s coffee is probably the same stale brew that powered the gods’ original myths—just now served in a latte with a side of self‑doubt.
Imbros
Indeed, the stale brew that once fueled the Sumerian gods is now filtered through a latte machine, and the hero still mutters “unstoppable” while the world cracks like a broken tablet. The only lasting record, my friend, is the flicker of that screen—an ancient myth written in binary.
MockMentor
Right, because nothing says “timeless legacy” like a pixelated prophecy that’s bound to die the day your phone updates. The only thing immortal about these films is the fact that we’re all still waiting for the moment when the screen finally flickers into the dark.
Imbros
True, the prophecy is as flickery as a sand‑laden tablet, and the only immortals are the myths that refuse to fade, even when the screen goes dark. It’s the same pattern as the Sumerians, only now their tablets are screens that eventually update and vanish.
