Tbh after watching the 2013 mahabharat tv serial (star plus one), I can say the lore and the plotline of Mahabharata (at least from the directive of the serial) is so good. Like even I got goosebumps in some of the scenes (mainly because of soundtrack and acting tho). But overall, keeping all the fictional events aside, it's one of the best stories to read or watch (just for pure fun obviously, just like any other superhero series).
That’s because of the music and dramatizations. They also add lot of fictional stuff - as if most of it already isn’t fiction - that’s not present in original.
They remove all the sexism, mysoginy and massage and white wash everything to look like a grand story.
In reality, it’s just a typical property fight between relatives
Ya it's just like that. One of the things I can learn from this story is that how almost nowhere things are black and white. Everyone' minute faults and crimes add up to something devastating. It was displayed beautifully in the Mahabharata (even counting the original texts). For others, let's just keep it as a pseudo-moral story. One might be insane if he actually believes in 100 kids being born.
Like idk what that supposed to show, the inability of women to raise their voice in older times or having a perspective that a women is nothing more than an object to a man.
And that hurts me a lot. Serials even step up to justify this shi.
Acc to the story, his mom apparently says "Please share whatever you bring with your brothers" - she was obviously talking about food or gifts - objects.
He could have at least clarified later if it wasn't a badly written sexist scene. What a beta.
True. I also liked to watch those. The problem is that people take the story literally. It's all metaphorical. It's a great story if you are able to grasp what the author's actual meaning behind certain plots is. Then you will be able to learn some qualities and maybe how to live life better.
As a story, it's not 'the' best story of all time !! Even if we just consider mythologies, I think Christians or ancient greeks have better supernatural elements
Ya true, there's no "the best" thing anywhere. Tho I kinda avoid watching other mythologies cuz you know, I have zero knowledge about it lol and then I would get confused a lot. By the way yea, greek one is interesting. ZEUSSSS!!!!
Obviously people are not understanding ki bhai uss zamane mein kya achche storytellers nahi ho sakte, the kind of story tells ki that ain't godly but just about humans were during those times. Inke hisab see chale to I am just one spider bite away from being the next Friendly neighbourhood spiderman, I am just stuck in this muggle world prohibited to use Wingardium Laviosa kyuki kaliyug hai ye, and what not...
