    Found this video while being bored and searched up a whole intro word for word (Its Favremysabre’s last rainbow quest intro) here is the thing I searched up:
    A hero’s journey virtuous and brave a story told throughout generations passed on as the pinnacle of all that is true and righteous a hero’s journeys will guide and forge the next a hero’s journey whose quest is to overcome even the best to see the rays of light shine past the storm to work past the dark and toward the light in which a rainbow shines so bright but a hero is who of which will stand and face that of which seems unbreakable they are not necessarily unbreakable themselves and still some stand some fall and some will risk it all the hero is not the sword they are the person and the shield the safety of what lies behind while they move forward the hero's journey is one filled with adventure the rises and the falls but this journey will one day come to a end and their quest turns to myth, all good thing comes to a end eventually but to that end comes a new beginning, a new hero, a new chapter, a new story. What will your story be? Why do we seek them? Perhaps the story is the quest perhaps the hero seeks because they must not because they can a hero's journey is just that their journey what makes them a hero is the people who believed in them a hero’s journey rises and falls their quest for the light in which the rainbow calls my journey can not end not until i face that of which, Is unbreakable.

    o Call to adventure - challenge
    o Assistance - needs help, mentor, older, wiser
    o Departure - Crosses the safe space, getting out of comfort zone
    o Trials - Solves problem, hard work, faces challenges
    o Approach - Facing the biggest ordeal, worst fear
    o Crisis - darkest hour, faces death, and be reborn
    o Treasure - result, claims the recognition/power
    o Result - whether the monster bow down or chase the hero
    o Return - after the adventure, return to ordinary world
    o New life - outgrown his own life
    o Resolution - all the tangled plot lines get straightened out
    o Status Quo - upgrade to a new level, nothing is quite the same

    #6 is the CLIMAX of the journey, not a mere crisis where the hero "possibly even dies". Neither is it necessarily the darkest hour. It is the most dangerous hour of the journey where the hero kills THE DRAGON. This is the primary purpose of the Hero's Journey. It's the most critical hour. He may die, but that is not central. The point is that the dragon dies. The adversary is conquered. The hero has faced his giant and won.
    This video actually has the slaying of the dragon in the 7th hour under "Treasure". Why does the story give him treasure? How is it that he access it? BECAUSE HE FOCKIN' SLAYED THE FOCKIN' DRAGON the previous hour. NOT because he got licked at 6 o'clock. The treasure in hour 7 is his reward and consequence of having slain the dragon in hour 6. If you miss this, you MISS the ENTIRE POINT OF THE HERO'S JOURNEY.

    Campbell spent much of his time focusing on folklore that supported his monomyth hypothesis; those that didn't fit the pattern were not included. Folklorist Barre Toelken used the Sun's Myth to argue that:
    _"The same plot, clearly, does not always mean the same thing; without the implied meanings and shared connotations supplied by cultural context, we may very well have a coherent text whose meanings are totally misapprehended. This is one of several points missed by those who believe “archetypes” are universal in their meaning: it led Joseph Campbell to argue in an otherwise brilliant book that there is a universal hero myth - an assertion that can be maintained only by suppressing thousands of stories like “The Sun’s Myth” in which culture is threatened and destroyed, not stabilized and renewed, by the egotistical actions of a powerful male seeker."_
