Lol fuck no

no the difference is people actually watched the Avengers who the fuck still reads the Iliad

I really hope not

It's childish trash and the Iliad is 1000x more powerful

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

>and the Iliad is 1000x more powerful

explain your position

>Is "Avengers" America's Illiad?

No, because the Iliad is sexist and made by a dirty cislord

I don't think you know what childish is just cause you don't like it doesn't make it childish

It wasn't supposed to be a documentary.

I unironically think it's an apt comparison.

That would be The Frontiersman

>Illiad: heroes and villains on both sides, truly an epic
>avengers: ....

yeah no

No because it does not have an entire chapter detailing every obscure Greek county which decided to fuck around in Troy, and it tells a far more coherent story than the Iliad ever does. Aside from certain moments of pathos and character in their purest form, the Iliad is a surprisingly dull read. The Odyssey and the Aeneid are better in almost every way.

A depressing thought

>american "culture"

Is USA this desperate to have Iliad-tier literature?

I've never read the Illiad (yet) but I can tell you something seems afoot.

But I won't be respected as an intellectual if I don't read it.

DCucks BTFO

How's it feel to know no DC piece of shit will ever be as iconic as Based Marvel

it would be very adequate for the amerimutts

The Iliad isn't even good literature. We read it because "muh Greeks."

I wonder if future generations will forget of our stories, and the future of THEIR generations will recover them, only for all our old fanfiction to be mixed in with the actual canon works, so people think that Tony and Steve were not only gay lovers for each other but possibly with Thanos as well.

OP's pic really makes me wonder if people like Shakespeare really were hot shit geniuses of if they were the Joss Whedon's of their time.

I mean, a big part of Shakespeare's success is attributed how both the serfs and the elite were easily able to digest his plays. In modern times that's just called attracting the lowest common denominator and has generally negative connotations.

>european "culture"
>african "culture"
>asian "culture"

The reason why the Iliad is popular is because it's one of the earliest and most complete pieces of writing of a historical event, not because some dude stole someone else's waifu and caused a 10 year siege.

I mean if you have interest in the history of literature, narrative concepts, or Greek/Roman/Any"Intellectual" from the past 3000 years, poetry, art history, etc, its kind of a required read. If you dont give a fuck about those things then yeh there's no point. I'd read The Odyssey and The Iliad though just because they're good literature.

A thousand years from now DC and Marvel lore will be taught as our era's pantheons of gods, alongside Greek and roman Mythos.

There's a difference between creating purely superficial material anyone with a room temperature IQ can understand, and harnessing universally understood archetypes to more quickly and easily convey certain aspects of your story.

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is a must read.

I think that people who call everything "the modern of equivalent of (thing)" must be monstrously insecure. Even as a joke it's lame and cringe.

Huh?
