Mech

 * Jordan Peterson would say we have archetypes because there is a "best man" that is evolutionarily discovered.
 * I say we have archetypes because we have common needs built in by God

Hero archetype
Is JC the hero archetype? He did not win via desperate strength, maybe quiet assured strength. I think yes JC is hero. https://tvtropes.org - see connection There should be a story where at least one evil person is converted to the good side instead of defeated - no direct Christian references. Star wars anakin kills Palpatine but dies, some movies have bad people turn but not with enthusiasm.

Lion King
Is this like the Gospel?

Death of the God/mufasa. Return of the son. The bird is HS. Baboon is holistic Trinity or maybe another HS.

Avatar (blue people)
Another kind of being (angelic, spiritual) comes and takes our form to save us. We kick him out / kill him so he goes and defeats death to come back and really save us in armageddon.

People also say this is like Pocahontas. A man is enamored by the local tribe and tries to save them. Sure.
