As long as the public domain exists, there will continue to be biblical epics. Movie studios would rather adapt stories and characters they don't have to pay the rights for.

I want good and accurate godshit though
Godshit is much more interesting than capeshit

>According to Papyrus Chester-Beatty I, Set is depicted as trying to prove his dominance by seducing Horus and then having intercourse with him. However, Horus places his hand between his thighs and catches Set's semen, then subsequently throws it in the river, so that he may not be said to have been inseminated by Set. Horus then deliberately spreads his own semen on some lettuce, which was Set's favorite food. After Set had eaten the lettuce, they went to the gods to try to settle the argument over the rule of Egypt. The gods first listened to Set's claim of dominance over Horus, and call his semen forth, but it answered from the river, invalidating his claim. Then, the gods listened to Horus' claim of having dominated Set, and call his semen forth, and it answered from inside Set.[19][20]

People will "worship" literally anything that sounds cool.

The only people these days who actually worship anything are christians, jews, muslims, hinduists, and some native americans who still worship their weird wolf/eagle gods.

In the U.S. at least, you'll find people "worshiping" all sorts of stupid shit just to be a special snowflake. Lately I've noticed a trend of people who claim to worship the norse gods and it's almost the stupidest fucking thing. The actual stupidest fucking thing are the occasional jedi church.

there is no canon for mythology. That's one of the defining characteristics of mythology. Each city in Greece had its own stories, and those stories changed from one era to another and are added onto. And half of the time they're in direct contradiction with one another.
Romulus and Remus are treated as direct descendents of Aeneus, but Homer sure as fuck didn't write about them.

A good example is how Rome treated its war deity. In its early years it was mainly Bellona, who was cruel, destructive, chaotic, and overall symbolised the negative aspects of war. She wasn't directly worshiped, didn't have a temple in the city - just a small shrine outside of it. In the later years when Rome became successful in war and military service became an honourable profession and an essential part of the public life, suddenly you had Mars come into prominence as the chief war god, and he became crucial to the pantheon, had huge parts of the city named after him, and was seen as a force for prosperity rather than destruction. The mythology between Bellona and Mars changed drastically in this time as Bellona became a minor deity and her role in legends changed to push Mars into prominence

tl;dr there is no "canon" of mythology, it's a collection of stories that suit the place and time they are written and very often are in conflict with one another

>However, Set still refused to relent, and the other gods were getting tired from over eighty years of fighting and challenges. Horus and Set challenged each other to a boat race, where they each raced in a boat made of stone. Horus and Set agreed, and the race started. But Horus had an edge: his boat was made of wood painted to resemble stone, rather than true stone. Set's boat, being made of heavy stone, sank, but Horus's did not. Horus then won the race, and Set stepped down and officially gave Horus the throne of Egypt.[22]


I really want a comedy about the rivalry between Horus and Set now.
