Mythica, Godslayer (Movie 5) – Thoughts

Yup, that’s it. I’ve finished the Mythica series. It was a wild ride filled with highs and lows, but it as so much fun! So here we go with my thoughts for the 5th movie, Godslayer.

While not necessarily as fun as Iron Crown, this one was still enjoyable. Iron Crown hit the humor beats real well and Godslayer hit the dramatic beats real well. All in all, I’m satisfied with how it ended. Of course, there’s a part of me that wished Marek and Dagen hadn’t made the ultimate sacrifice and they could’ve lived their life adventuring and “raising” Zombie Girl but it’s alright. Them living happily ever after in the underworld works just as well. And perhaps it’s best that Dagen didn’t return to the land of the living…it would break his heart to see Zombie Girl turn into the spoiled rich brat she used to be.

I’m sad Zombie Girl didn’t get a chance to play a bigger part in the movie but I can understand why. It takes away a lot of the suspense if you have a character who’s on par with the enemies you’re fighting. Zombie Girl might’ve been a little OP. But I loved the scene where Dagen threatens the townsfolk with death if they let anything happen to Zombie Girl. As I said before, it’s super interesting that while Zombie Girl had her brain perfectly intact, Dagen found she wasn’t worth protecting but when she became a zombie, he treasured her as if she was his own daughter. So I kind of wished the ending could’ve been Marek, Dagen and Zombie Girl living happily ever after.

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.

Margo’s Wardrobe + 3x05

The note from 03x02 was from Jonah, and he asked the Moon Goddess to give him "Docious Magocious" back. Mistery solved.

Look, I know we’re not supposed to fire off battle magic, but I mean, come on.
