22min 17sec clip - Why Do Escalator Steps Have Teeth?

brill 15min 12sec clip by @willschoder - every story is the same - based on joseph campbells

"the hero's journey"

a simplification of this by Dan Harmon into a story circle with 8 steps which are universal for any story in any medium

to understand the theory behind the circle ... 1st imagine it with a horizontal line across its midpoint
- the top of the circle represents where the characters journey starts and finishes (the ordinary world)
- the bottom represents the world that needs to be traversed in order to grow (the special world)
- a ritual of descent and return

- and every story has a rhythm of balance Dan lays out in three dualities

so here are the 8 steps

the video uses the examples of the Die Hard and Star Wars films to illustrate the various steps
