lol, dude, get over it.

Your attempt at getting out of your complete blunder by sounding deep and vague with nothing to back it up was pathetic, know that. Now getting advice on thick skin in an Internet argument from a man with no face is just risible. Keep smiling.

lol if you delete anymore posts there isn't going to be much space left for anyone else to write. Though it was probably wise to get rid of your "rude" and "Illiterate" accusations... why illiterate? And as for "rude", what did I say that you didn't? It was a lighthearted quip with a smiley following it. I suggest you get some thicker skin if you're gonna post here. In response, (and very briefly, because this is tiresome) you referred to the "adventure" NOT the monomyth.

Thank you, but I don't need the Hero's Journey explained to me.

The refusal of the call is not a part of the hero's adventure. I obviously don't care about your overall analysis of a book you haven't read: if you can find a quote in campbell's work that supports what this guy says at 0:49, and dirrectly contradicts the ones I shared, tell it to us. Otherwise, recognize you are absolutely wrong about a very simple matter.

So redemption is not a pivotal theme?Anyway we're at cross purposes here; I wasn't saying the refusal was a part of Campbell's identified process, I was saying it is part of the "Adventure", which if you have read the book (and not just indexed the pdf ;) I'm sure you will agree that, aside from Campbells explicit explanation of the specified stages, there is also an implication that fall and redemption plays a major part in the overall adventure; be it a narrative one, or in life itself.

Chapter 2-refusal of the call. "Not infrequently in the myths and popular tales, we encouter the dull case of the call unanswered. (...) Refusal of the summons converts the adventure into its negative. Walled in boredom, the subject loses the power" etc. Chapter 3-supernatural aid"For those who have NOT REFUSED the call, th first encounter of the journey is with a protective figure (...)"-The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Joseph CampbellBuy the book, learn how to read, and THEN comment :)

So the Matrix (part one) clearly follows the guiding structure of the monomyth to the letter. Guess they took the scaffolding down to make Reloaded and Revolutions. Well at least we now have a concrete explanation for how shit the sequels were.
