Mythica, The Dark Spore (Movie 2) – Thoughts

I finished up on the second Mythica movie, The Dark Spore. And my consensus on this film is I liked it significantly less than the first one. It was a lot less fun than the first one and there were a lot of things going on I didn’t quite understand. There were leaps of character development that I didn’t feel was particularly earned. This film kind of felt like a jumbled mess of ideas that were never really cultivated all the way to closure. It had a lot of ideas that could’ve been interesting but it lacked development and follow-through.

With all that said, I did still enjoy it. The characters are still fun even if their character development was very weirdly done here. The world just keeps on getting more interesting and I really enjoy the soundtrack. I love how the soundtrack employs the usage of electric guitar. You don’t typically get sounds like that mixed in films like these and it really adds something to the atmospere.

Even though I was a little bit more critical on this film, I’m still greatly enjoying this franchise.

Mythica, Quest for Heroes (Movie 1) – Thoughts

Today, I decided to give the Mythica movie series another go based on the recommendation of one of my lovely anons. I had previously watched the first movie some years ago, I can’t really remember why I didn’t continue with it, maybe I got distracted with other things, maybe I wasn’t that impressed with it, who knows? But I’m giving the series another go at it.

The first Mythica movie is Quest for Heroes and even though I said earlier that when I first watched it, there was a possibility I wasn’t impressed with it…well, that’s not the case anymore. I really liked this movie.

I love worlds that have a magic based system plus a magic-based system with actual rules to it. I appreciate writers who don’t use magic as only a plot device or a maguffin and actually make it into their own character, if you will. I’m looking at you, Shadowhunters, with your non-existent magic system rules and ridiculous OP magic.

But the main pull this movie had for me was that it was essentially part 1 of The Hero’s Journey. It’s not a complete Hero’s Journey story, I imagine that’s what the other films are about. But it definitely flows like the beginning of a Hero’s Journey. And Hero’s Journey is one of my favorites story types to read. Indeed, my favorite Star Wars movie is Episode 4. I love meeting the hero and seeing them become the hero.

I wouldn’t say that this is a perfect film. I definitely feel like the pacing was a little off in certain parts. There’s parts where they’re constantly talking about never leaving their friends behind and while I appreciate the theme, I dont feel like we spend enough time with the characters interacting with each other to truly feel like those kinds of declarations were earned. But I can give a pass on it because the chemistry between these characters were so good. Just beat for beat, humor bit by humor bit, all of the characters (and the actors, themselves) were able to deliver on it and I could believe these people had the potential to care about one another.

I also love our heroine, Marek. She just has this real childlike exuberance throughout the entire move about going on this grand adventure and her enthusiasm for it is just so contagious and relatable and I love it. The actress also has some great facial expressions, and I don’t mean that in a bad way or anything. Every now and then when something ridiculous happens, she’ll give these expressions and I’ll just laugh because she’s so relatable in that moment.

This is a SyFy movie so of course, you can expect all the low budget quirks that usually accompany a SyFy film. But it certainly doesn’t detract from my enjoyment in this film in any way. In fact, it kind of makes me love it even more. I love being able to chuckle a little when I see a character get knocked out from a blow that it was super obvious that it never even connected with. Or the scene being cut and you suddenly see a stuntman go flying. I love stuff like that. Reminds me of my love for the Power Rangers franchise (yes, I do still watch Power Rangers, don’t judge, we all have our vices).

This is a film about a girl dreaming of an adventure and becoming a hero, she assembles a rag team and they all work together on becoming heroes for their own selfish reasons and it was very enjoyable to watch, but also along the way finding friendship and companionship with each other. Really, its everything I love.

The following story was submitted by the user @lawfulgeek: 

Old Herbert owned a large piece of land and used it for his business of dirtbike, and also were his house was. It was a popular place where kids and adults would go motorbiking (they could rent bikes and equipment). His only child, Lester, loved to dirtbike, and was quite good at it. His wife, Alyssa, loved him and their son very much. But strange things happened in that land, for it was once a burial ground of Native American tribes, and long ago, when they were forced to abandon their land, they casted a powerful curse on it. If the colonizers wanted the land, they would have it, but they would find neither the rest or the peace the tribes did. They would have to wander, restless, forever. And so, with the curse, the place once used to lay the dead to rest, became the place the dead would never be able to rest. And sadly, one day, young Lester suffered a horrible accident. And his life ended on that cursed soil, and thus his existence in this realm did not cease. For days, Old Herbert and sweet Alyssa mourned their dear son, but it was like he wasn’t gone. More and more weird events would unfold. Things in Lester’s bedroom would have been moved, as if someone had used it. The TV would turn on seemingly out of nowhere right on the time for Lester’s favorite the show and on the right channel. And then they started hearing him. His steps, coming closer to them. His voice, reaching out to them. But it happened. In a split second their Lester was not there, and in the next he was. Someway, somehow, from that glitch their son entered once again this realm of existence. He somehow managed to project his spirit from the place it was, trapped in the Veil. Not really here, not really there. But now, he was back. Herbert and Alyssa were in disbelief, but at the same time happier then in a long time. Of course, Lester wasn’t truly back. As impressive as it is for a ghost to physically manifest, even if such manifestation is in a place marked by death in and an abundance of mystical energy, such materialization doesn’t make them any less ghosts. All ghost, all souls that for some reason don’t move on after death, are bound to the place were their life ended. Lester’s binding to his place of demise was not due to the curse, even though it was strengthened by it. The curse simply makes it so that anyone that perishes on the land has no choice but to stay. And so he’s there to this day, with his parents. Unable to grow. Unable to age. Unable to leave. But Herbert and Alyssa don’t intend to leave either. No one needs to know of any of that. They Just need to wait. After all, one day death will come for them to, and they will make sure that it’s on that land. So they can always be a family. Together. Forever.
