Think of all the movies you have seen in , say , the last two or three years? How many have been superhero blockbusters ? Avengers , Wonder Woman , Thor Ragnarok , Deadpool . And how about Netflex : Daredevil , Punisher . It is fair to say that our culture has been consumed with mythological heroes . Even the extremely popular dramas such as Game of Thrones and Hunger Games , which may not be listed as superheroes , are certainly heroes of a new mythology .

And illustrating and placing modern mythology within this context with other central issues of our time will be part of this paper . The essays discuss connection between the ancient world and mythology and our new growing cultural mythology .

present this connection with the ancient and the new . How are they the same ? How have they been transformed ? But this is just a starting point in this assignment .

We also have had several essays addressing the advances and hypocrisies in Wonder Woman and Thor : Ragnarock . And these are the larger questions concerning this essay :
1 . Is Wonder Woman a groundbreaking seminal work expressing a new feminism ? Or is it the same old tired clichés in new outfits , new formats ? Is it a true mythological representation of our times ?
2 . Is Thor a basic old school macho action hero of toxic masculinity or does he represent a in how current masculinity is represented ? Are we looking at a new age in how our culture defines manhood ?
