Nerdy Mythos is a podcast that digs deep into the lore and mythology of your favorite, video games, animes, and more to further immerse and understand your favorite fiction worlds.
Episode 14: Commander Shepard and the Chosen One Archetype
We're taking you back to English class with this in depth look at just how the famous Commander Shepard falls very squarely in the Chosen One archetype.
Archetypes are often only applied to literary analysis, and I think we often forget that video games are STORIES. So taking this closer look at one of Bioware's most beloved protagonists can just add a new layer of appreciation and storytelling to this incredible game.
If you don't know me, I'm Cass, a mom and gamer who focuses non-sacrificial motherhood. If this seems to be a vibe that you like I've linked all my socials below! <3

Kaguya, the Mother of Chakra and a Moon Princess?
Kaguya Otsutuski is commonly known as the Mother of Chakra to those who have watched the entirety of Naruto Shippuden. She seems to be this all-powerful deity and progenitor of shinobi, but where did she come from? Is she based on a character in Japanese folklore?
The answer is usually yes!
