There are none. The Monomyth is eternal.

The Last Jedi and it was utter shit. The heroes journey works for a reason.

Im a published fantasy author. I know what im talking about contraband. My worst received book had a subverted climax where the protagonist's wife and youngest child were taken hostage to lure him into an ambush and derail his victory so you know what he did? Let them die and won the decisive battle. Endless bitching over this. People don't like intentionally subverted tropes unless they are contrarian trolls.

PS: Im not doxxing myself on 4chan by giving the title of the book.

>>219023036
I wouldn't call that a subversion of the Hero's Journey, just Horror movies in general.

>>219023487
So you're lying? ok
>>
>>219023517
Fuck off.
>>
>>219023487
Maybe the book was just bad, bro
>>
>>219023566
I just think it's a little weird to lie that you're a published author

I am published fucking deal with it. I have no reason to lie about it.
>>
>>219023621
You're on the internet, you have every reason to lie about anything.
But alright anon, sure. I imagine you have wonderful prose.
>>
>>219023487
fantasy is not real literature anyway. if you're making slop stick to the paint-by-numbers plots that the pleb audience wants.

>Oppressed minority main character is opressed and lacks self esteem.
>Boss bitch narcissistic cunt minority tells oppressed stop being oppressed and be real, in a yass queen way.
>Oppressed is inspired by narcissist.
>Other minorities on different stages of the oppressed totem poll have other interests and don't help oppressed main character because they don't care about intersectionality.
>Oppressed becomes successful.
>oppression crisis occur and the oppressed main character must rally up the other intersections of oppressed with a shame on you speech. "It's us vs them.
>magically overnight because oppressed is pure and talented naturally.
>Oppressed trys to fit in with successful white het rich establishment but is rejected by (white cis het rich) straw men.
>Oppressed acts like the narcissistic boss babe and has a Yass queen moment moment.
>"I might not be a white cis het rich but guess what bitch, I'm better then you and more real then you'll ever be. Also your hair is ugly (childish insult to prove how shallow minded and ignorant the oppressors are)"
>The other intersectional oppressed clap with finger clicks/Yass queen and they leave the evil cis het white rich establishment victorious.
>The intersectional oppressed have dinner together and give each other validation about being oppressed and being better then the oppressors because they are oppressed and that makes them more real somehow.
