Just started reading Gilgamesh. Is it just me, or is Gilgamesh a really cartoonish character? The description of him is kind of like HE'S BEEN EVERYWHERE. HIS BEARD IS THICK. HIS LEGS MASSIVE. HE FIGHTS ALL THE YOUNG MEN. HE GETS ALL THE WOMEN. And I also like the part where the townspeople are really annoyed at him for getting all the women and fighting all the men, and so they ask god to create a second Gilgamesh to fight him so he'll go away.

he was the first Gary Stu.
They plead the gods to send a man-beast called Enkidu to be his rival, and then apparently they become best buds but he's still an uncivilized so the solution is for him to have sex with a temple prostitute for a week. It's hard to take the tale seriously just roll with it

Your posts are the most insipid shit I've seen here. You don't care about quality or doing your research before posting. Goku was based on Sun Wukong, the protagonist of Journey to the West, not Gilgamesh.

I would agree. People who lurk anonymous boards to say rude things to others are like strange cave dwelling animals, getting territorial about their space. You didn't even do anything wrong. You give some neat suggestions of books. I think it's probably just the anti-spiritual stuff you've posted in the past which makes whiny Christians incensed.

Nigga, Goku was based off of Hanuman who is totally real and not "mythology". Didn't you know everything written in sanskrit is the Absolute Truth? Even the refutations the Acaryas wrote on one another

He’s not really a Gary Stu since everyone hates him. The only person who instantly likes him is his exact double.

having sex with a temple prostitute is symbolic of his transition into manhood, it's an equation of childhood with wildness, and enkidu is wildness
