The script of REBEL MOON will appeal to 2.69 – 3.29% of the population
Any story is the quest to fulfil a human desire. We have identified universal quests for every human desire. These universal quests reveal the invisible plot structure of stories. An analysis of Blockbuster, Hit & Flop plots led to the discovery of Mythosis Code. We use the Code to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.
All Blockbusters have at least 3 universal quests. REBEL MOON has 4 universal quests of Tranquillity, Honour, Preservation & Power
In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. Kora mirrors the quest of Honour & Noble mirrors the quest of Preservation. Gunnar mirrors the quest of Tranquillity. Kai mirrors the universal quest of Power.
Every Blockbuster character borrows at least 35% of the universal quest. Kora borrows 28% of the quest of Honour. Noble’s character borrows 7% of the quest of Preservation. Gunnar borrows 8% of the quest of Tranquillity. Kai’s character borrows 20% of the universal quest of Power.
Blockbusters interweave different quests to create a tight plot structure. Interweaving occurs when Events of 2 quests occur simultaneously in the story. Blockbusters have a quest interweaving threshold of 0.5. REBEL MOON’s quest interweaving is perfect with a score of 1. An example of interweaving the quests of Kora & Gunnar:
Blockbusters have a script score of at least 0.64 whereas REBEL MOON’s script score is 0.09. Based on the script score we estimate that the movie will appeal to 2.69 – 3.29% of the population.
The plot structure of REBEL MOON borrows from 4 universal quests and perfectly interweaves them. However, it suffers from poor character development. Moreover, the quests of Noble & Gunnar are non-existent.
86% of events in REBEL MOON are borrowed from 4 mythological tales
At Mythosis, we have identified 32 mythological tales. Each mythological tale uniquely represents a human quest to fulfil a desire. These tales are the superset of thousands of tales across cultures.
We have codified the events of each mythological tale. Every tale has 5 major arcs. Each arc has a sequence of events. These events culminate into a major event. Here is the mapping of each character’s quest to the major events in their respective mythological tale.
Quest 1: Kora mirrors 28% of Hanuman’s quest for Honour (below threshold of 35%)
Kora’s desire for Honour stems from the need to be loyal to clan or order. The tale of Hanuman from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Honour.
Quest 2: Gunnar mirrors 8% of Odysseus’ quest for Tranquillity (below threshold of 35%)
Gunnar’s desire for Tranquillity stems from the need to be in secure surroundings. The tale of Odysseus from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Tranquillity.
Quest 3: Kai mirrors 20% of Circe’s quest for Power (below threshold of 35%)
Kai’s desire for Power stems from the need to dominate others. The tale of Circe from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Power.
Quest 4: Noble mirrors 7% of Kans’ quest for Preservation (below threshold of 35%)
Noble’s desire for Preservation stems from the need to survive a threat. The tale of Kans from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Preservation.
