    Once there's people out of my house I'm gonna go through this vid; but on its face, wouldn't the heroine's journey be no different from the hero's journey save flipping the gender involved?

      No, it means following the hero on his journey, becoming the hero’s prize, then being discontent with her position and setting out on her own journey.

      Paraphrasing.

        Oh, so you're talking more what would end up being a decon of the hero's journey, likely with a WHOLE lot of critique of the format it's deconstructing along the way. Kinda sounds like it'd be something Joss Whedon-adjacent if Joss Whedon wasn't a white guy
