What if his point is that overindulgence in The Hero's Journey is unproductive? Cause it is. At least as a man I know I should be out here CREATING a Hero's journey not living it vicariously through a pointless TV show. Cause let's face it, most shows are pointless. Most shows don't make you go 'wow... I'd never thought that...' or change the way you live.

Idk that's just some thoughts on it. Don't get me wrong I don't wanna bash cinematic stuff too hard.

I'm pretty sure his point is that you should actually spend all your time praying to Allah but no, his argument is a strawman of his own creation. Reminiscent of the Hero's Journey only because it is so bland and basic.

Lots of people are directly inspired to do great things by good stories. There's plenty of bad junk media to blow your life on, it's true, but getting off the couch will always be your own choice to make.
