But yeah.

I understand that to experts in the history of art and literature, a lot of culture is kind of fractally sedimentary - X is basically Y in a modern setting, which was based on P, Q, and G, each of which was .... until you hit the epic of Gilgamesh or something, for which we lack sources, but is clearly based on earlier stuff.

I'm not sure I'd want to see my favored media that way lest the instinctive pedantry ruin the fun, but then again maybe the instinctive pedantry is more fun than the normal way.

Meh - less analysis, more Pony War 2: Ponies of the Eastern Front.
