  • Meta-narratives are stories that contain many stories. And no story is more meta than MARVEL..

  • Men make gods in our own image, the image of who we long to become..
  • Our stories show us the humans we could be, the potential we might fulfill. The warrior’s path. The healer’s craft. The magician’s skill. The ruler’s wisdom. Our stories shape the archetypal paths of human existence..
  • Then the archetypes become our gods..
