    I’ve noticed two big things recently, and maybe it’s just because I’m a fan of Lord of the Rings, but…
    Kings are making a comeback, not as infallible rulers but as men struggling for identity.
    Archers are thing too. Have you noticed that? Especially the more emotional characters depicted as warriors. They tend not to swing a sword but rather wield a bow.
    I understand the King archetype as being the search for the self. (How are crowns different?) But why the archers in such popular media do you think?

      Hmmm.. Interesting.. I suddenly remembered Katniss! 🙂
      You are right. And to be honest, I prefer Kings and Archers over Vampires any day! LOL
      But on a serious note, I think Archers signify someone who aims, waits for the right moment, and then shoots at the target, and (if you are a hero / heroine in the story) also ends up hitting the target. In a world like ours, where achieving targets is often the prime goal of every person in the workplace, seeing someone do this in a more heroic fashion would probably catch on. Of course, there’s the added advantage of being able to slay bad guys, monsters and so forth. The appeal for that is limitless.
      What do you think?
