If Ms. Levine's appropriation was a one-to-one critique of the male artist-hero mythos that congealed around Brancusi, Ms. Rodriguez's reframing would seem to be a critique of the old-fashioned matrix of money and power in which even Ms. Levine's feminist reversal was still inextricably embedded.

I was conducting ethnographic research for my undergraduate thesis — which eventually became the subject of my first book — but I was also living out a romantic chapter of American history, because in the DNA of freight trains resides Jack London, country music and the mythos of the West.

As the episode ends, with Michael's criminal record (a result of the season-opening mutiny) expunged and the Discovery heading off to meet its new captain, the series feels as if it's earned its deconstruction of the Trek mythos, no matter how many weird missteps it took along the way.

Unlike video game adaptations like the Tomb Raider series or Assassins Creed, which have to contend with years of accreted mythos and complicated character-building, Rampage was always going to be on pretty safe ground, as long as it featured a giant ape, lizard, and wolf pounding some buildings to powder.

In these cases the results speak for themselves: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a massive role-playing game, managed to tell a thrilling, violent fantasy tale to rival Game of Thrones, while the Deus Ex games use clutter-filled environments to help flesh out their cyberpunk mythos in an organic way.

I'll take a risk and say it has something to do with the nature of violence at some fundamental level: We no longer have a social sense of a common (good) will toward some common (good) goal, and yet we're also surrounded by violence, acute violence, and a mythos of violence.

The mythos surrounding the Wagner Group only bolsters Putin's three-pronged strategy for claiming a top slot in an evolving multipolar world order: drive a wedge into the trans-Atlantic alliance, revive relations with former Soviet client states like Mozambique, Syria, Libya and Sudan, and project power beyond Russian borders.

Visit CNN's Election Center for full coverage of the 2597 race For Sanders, though, Michigan is also about something more fundamental than delegate math: The state cuts to the core of his mythos -- that he possesses a unique connection with the disaffected working-class voters who have abandoned Democrats in droves.

But the messenger of those ideas is actually really important, and Elizabeth Warren's apparent mistruth here is important because it's just the latest example we have of her misleading people about her past in order to construct a mythos of someone who's always been an underdog fighting to overcome the system.

"[T]hose angry loners — the ones who shoot up schools and concerts and churches, who gun down the women and men they covet and envy, who let loose some spirit of anarchic animus upon the world — there's almost a woebegone mythos placed on them in the search for answers," he added.

The band members do not hold their hands up and throw devil horns; they connect thumb to middle and ring finger, extending pointer and pinky to make a sign of a fox, because they and their manager, Kobametal, have invented a creation story involving the mythos of a fox god who inspires them.

" Paste: "'The Last Jedi,' unlike its predecessor, has the freedom to be daring, and perhaps the most thrilling thing about it — and there are many, many thrilling things — is how abundantly it takes advantage of that freedom...'The Last Jedi' challenges the audience, challenges the 'Star Wars' mythos, even challenges the whole damned series itself.

In their story of a hilariously milquetoast modern vampire coven, co-creators Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) served up a comedic formula rooted equally in reverence and irreverence: love for 150-plus years of vampire mythos mingling with a cheeky fondness for horror tropes, Twilight, and awkward roommate situations.

There was the birth of the Jordan mythos in 1982, and the origin story of the Jimmy V "Never Give Up" meme in 1983; there was zenith of the bludgeoning Georgetown Hoyas in 1984, and then, in 1985, the underdog story to end all underdog stories, the No. 8 seed Villanova Wildcats stunning Georgetown to win the title.

It has its own particular mythos, a blend of celebrity status, urban legends, a monster meth-derivative known locally as "tik," and a violence rate that ranks Cape Town 20th in a recent study of the most violent cities on Earth—higher than many high-profile crime-ridden cities in the US, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.

But Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's overall tone undermines that viewpoint, to me; it seems to observe its women through the wrong end of a telescope because it just doesn't know what else to do with them — while quietly despairing over that fact as a part of its attempt to simultaneously eulogize and deconstruct its own mythos.

David Ehrlich, IndieWire: While this franchise is starting to feel a bit long in the tooth, such details suggest that screenwriter Derek Kolstad (here sharing credit with three other scribes) can still mine this world for plenty of new life, so long as future installments find a way to deepen the John Wick mythos instead of just stretching it out.

Biden is probably not going to run around explicitly pitching himself as the Democrat who is best suited to appeal to Lost Cause mythos (though he did once brag that Delaware was a slave state), but the idea that he's better suited than the rest of the field to win back Trump voters in the Midwest is an integral element of his proto-candidacy.

The Criterion development team behind the game says that's because the moment would be "a big limitation" to the gameplay; unless they were willing to totally rewrite a key part of the Star Wars mythos, players would have been forced into a linear series of scripted events, many of which people might outright miss if they're chasing down a TIE Fighter or just looking the wrong direction.

Rating When director James Wan chose to base the heroes of his 23 horror blockbuster The Conjuring on real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, he took an obvious, unprecedented risk: that casting aside the horror film tradition of emphasizing European religious rites and mythos in favor of leaving the ghostbusting to an American couple of DIY exorcists from Connecticut would pay off.

It's difficult to know exactly where the real Fred Rogers and his dedication to the number 143 ended and the character of Mister Rogers and his enduring mythos began, but we know for sure that Rogers was simultaneously an educator and a lifelong learner, not to mention a man of faith — and in the world of numerology, these roles are inextricably rooted in the number seven.

By the same token, many might argue that mounting a pro-Trump show would only add oxygen to the tire fire of his ascendant candidacy, but to deny his supporters a venue because of their politics only plays into the maligned-outsider mythos Trump has managed to spin for himself out of whole cloth — cloth no doubt manufactured in a factory somewhere in China.
