Hindu mythology's probably just a bunch of freeform roleplayers' game logs, then.
>>
>>45366488
If it were written today it'd be written off as a bunch of Mary Sues. Ravana is literally the only foe who Rama doesn't kill with one arrow, and the only way he could kidnap Rama's wife (the mostest beautiful and faithful woman in the entire world, you guys!) was to have his brother cause a distraction (thereby getting killed) and snatch her when Rama looked the other way. This was after Rama disfigured Ravana's sister for being not hot enough to date him.

>>45366540
Dude. It's mythology. Zeus transforms into a swan and fucks a bitch but Hera doesn't leave him, Hekatonkheires throw literal mountains at each other. Fenris eats the moon, and the entire world is supported by a fucking tree. Jesus absolves all sins ever and god creates the world in seven fucking days.

Source. I'm pretty sure she never cheats because she's the goddess of marriage and fidelity.

>>45366601
Also God created 2 massive sea serpents at the dawn of time, then thinks "Oh wait, these things are so fucking huge they'd breed and eat everything" so he kills one.
Then creates a Land version and a Sky version.

>>45366695
Oftentimes when I read myths, I wonder if people weren't all just in on some epic meme

The japanese goddess of food sprayed a meal out of her orifices and the moon god cut off her head in disgust, the egyptians said the world was fapped into existence, there's a central african god of vomit, coyote of the plains used to remove his cock and make it chase women to rape, Thor kicked a random dwarf onto Balder's funeral pyre, Vainamoinen and his crew ran into a bunch of snakes drinking beer inside of a cave then stared at each other awkwardly before Vainamoinen cursed snakes to never enjoy beer again, the Aztecs lived in fear of skeleton hermaphrodites with rattlesnake penises, etc.

>>
>>45366817
The only weaver I can think of in Greek mythology is Arachne. She was an excellent weaver, so great that she was considered (even by herself, bad move) to be better than Athena, whose portfolio it turns out is War, Wisdom, AND Weaving. So Athena decided to rise above the rest of her total garbage family and challenged Arachne to a weaving contest, judged by Envy. Athena wove a tapestry showing off all the great triumphs and battles of the gods, while Arachne wove one highlighting all of their infidelities. Envy judged them each and found Arachne to be the victor, fair and square. So Athena turned her into a spider. The moral of the story is don't be better than a god, even if you are.

Are you implying that biblical mythology is boring?

The whole reason God wanted to flood the earth was that there were a bunch of giant half-angel lovechildren running around and fucking with everyone's shit.

And Noah didn't just build a boat, he built a habitat for two of every species on earth with nothing but the wood he found in his back yard. Then he got drunk, accidentally showed his son his dong and tl;dr that's apparently why we have black people.

Every other Mythology had people shitting out universes and punching out gods of creation.
Hindu Mythology just sounds exotic and interesting, because it's not often explored in media.

You can take something as boring and downtrodden as greek mythology, take less well-known part of it and suddenly it's interesting again.
Case in point: Gigantomachy. People are always amazed by the shit that went on there.
