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. The Code reveals the story principles shared by all Blockbusters. We use the Code to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.
All Blockbusters have at least 3 universal quests. The Nun 2 has only 2 universal quests of Expedition & Vengeance.
In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. The Nun 2 characters uniquely mirror ONE universal quest. Irene – Expedition and Valak – Vengeance. Maurice has an underdeveloped quest of Family but Debra doesn’t have a quest at all.
Every Blockbuster character borrows at least 35% of the universal quest. Irene’s character borrows 48% of the universal quest of Expedition and is above the threshold of 35%. However, Valak’s character borrows 19% of the universal quest of Vengeance.
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. The Nun 2’s quest interweaving is below par at 0.33. The quests of Irene & Valak are interwoven with each other. An example of interweaving from Nun 2
Blockbusters have a script score of at least 0.64 whereas The Nun 2’s script score is 0.05. Based on the script score we estimate that the movie will appeal to 1.37-1.67% of the population.
The plot structure of Nun 2 relies on only 2 universal quests unlike Blockbusters which use at least 3. Though Irene borrows deeply from her universal quest, the depth of Valak’s quest is below the threshold of a blockbuster.
89% events in Nun 2 are borrowed from 2 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 super set 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: Valak mirrors 19% of Duryodhan’s quest for Vengeance
Valak’s desire for Vengeance stems from the need to confront offenders. The tale of Duryodhan from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Vengeance.
Quest 2: Irene mirrors 48% of Jason’s quest for Expedition
Irene’s desire for Expedition stems from the need to find an elusive person or object. The tale of Jason from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Expedition.
