The script of Nun 2 will appeal to 1.37-1.67% of the population

Any story is the quest to fulfil a human desire. We have identified universal quests for every human desire. These universal quests reveal the invisible plot structure of stories. An analysis of Blockbuster, Hit & Flop plots led to the discovery of Mythosis Code. The Code identifies the ideal Blockbuster plot structure for a story from its script. We use the ideal plot structure to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.
 

• All Blockbusters have at least 3 universal quests. The Nun 2 has only 2 universal quests of Expedition & Power.

 

• In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. The Nun 2 characters uniquely mirror ONE universal quest. Irene – Expedition and Valak – Power. Maurice has an underdeveloped quest of Family but Debra doesn’t have a quest at all.

 

• Every Blockbuster character mirrors at least 35% of the universal quest. Irene’s character borrows 48% from the universal quest of Expedition and is above the threshold of 35%. However, Valak’s character borrows 19% from the universal quest of Power.

 

• Blockbusters interweave different quests to create a tight plot structure. Interweaving occurs when events of 2 quests occur simultaneously in the story. Blockbusters have a quest interweaving threshold of 0.5. The Nun 2’s quest interweaving is below par at 0.33. The quests of Irene & Valak are interwoven with each other. An example of interweaving from Nun 2

• Blockbusters have a script score of at least 0.64 whereas The Nun 2’s script score is 0.05. Based on the script score we estimate that the movie will appeal to 1.37-1.67% of the population.

The plot structure of Nun 2 has only 1 dominant universal quest unlike Blockbusters which have at least 3.

89% events in Nun 2 are borrowed from 2 mythological tales

We have codified the events of each mythological tale. Every tale has 5 major arcs. Each arc has a sequence of events. These events culminate into a major event. Here is the mapping of each character’s quest to the major events in their respective mythological tale.
 

Quest 1: Irene mirrors 48% of Jason’s quest for Expedition (above threshold of 35%)

Irene’s desire for Expedition stems from the need to find an elusive person or object. The tale of Jason from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Expedition.

Mythosis estimates Meg 2’s box office potential from its plot structure 

We have developed Mythosis Code from the analysis of Blockbuster, Hits & Flops plot structures. Mythosis Code identifies the ideal Blockbuster plot structure for any story. It uses the ideal plot structure to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.

Mythosis Code:

1. All Blockbusters borrow from at least 3 mythological tales
2. Each character mirrors ONLY ONE tale & borrows at least 35% events
3. The mythological tales used must be interwoven with a minimum score of 0.5

Story plot is made up of 4 mythological tales 

Lead character is inconsistent: Jonas mirrors 2 mythological tales of Noah & David. Jiuming & Driscoll mirror ONLY ONE tale

Every character has low depth: All characters borrow less than the threshold 35%. 

Story cohesiveness: Quest interweaving score of 0.67 is above the desired figure of 0.50

Mythosis extracts the invisible plot structure of scripts

Any story is quest to fulfil a human desire.

We have identified all universal quests for every human desire. We found these universal quests in 32 mythological tales from across cultures.

We have codified the 32 mythological tales to extract plot structures of stories. The analysis of Blockbuster, Hit & Flop plots led to the discovery of "Mythosis Code".

Mythosis Code:
1. All Blockbusters borrow from at least 3 universal quests
2. Each character mirrors ONLY ONE universal quest
3. Characters borrow at least 35% events from their respective quests
4. The quests used must be interwoven with a minimum score of 0.5

Mythosis Code identifies the ideal Blockbuster plot structure for any story. It uses the ideal plot structure to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.

Though Blue Beetle’s plot structure is made up of 4 universal quests only Jamie's character is developed 

Jaime’s journey mirrors the universal quest of Preservation & Tranquility. Jenny & Victoria mirror the universal quests of Idealism & Power. Rudy and Carapax don’t have a substantial quest.

Jaime borrows 36% from his universal quest. However, Jenny & Victoria borrow only 19% & 8% from their respective quests. (Annx 1)

Besides, Blue Beetle’s quest interweaving score is just 0.33 because only Jaime’s quest is interwoven with Victoria’s quest. (Annx 2)

Blue Beetle’s fails on every parameter of the Mythosis Code

Inconsistent character: Jaime’s quest borrows from 2 universal quests of Preservation & Tranquility which impacts character consistency.

Weak characters: Jenny & Victoria borrow far below the threshold of 35%. Low borrowing from universal quest impacts the character depth & complexity. Victoria, the antagonist, is a very weak character in the movie.

Low story cohesiveness: Jenny’s quest isn’t interwoven with both Jamie & Victoria which weakens the story cohesiveness.

Annexure 1: Mapping characters to the universal quests of Odysseus, Noah, Prometheus & Duryodhan

At Mythosis, we have identified universal quests from thousands of mythological tales, fables, legends and literature. The mythological tale representing each universal quest is the super set of thousands of tales across cultures.

Every universal quest has 5 major arcs. A sequence of events culminates into a major event marking the end of the arc. We have mapped each character’s quest to the major events in the universal quest.

Quest 1: Jamie mirrors Noah’s universal quest for Preservation

Jamie’s desire for Preservation stems from his need to eat & survive. The tale of Noah from Abrahamic mythology is the universal quest for Preservation.

20% of Noah’s quest is borrowed by Jaime – below the threshold of 35%

Victoria’s desire for Power is driven by the need to dominate others. The tale of Duryodha from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Power.

8% of Duryodhan’s quest is borrowed by Victoria – far below threshold of 35%

Annexure 2: Interweaving multiple quests creates fresh stories

Every universal quest is a story in itself. These quests are adaptable to any world and/or setting. However, by combining multiple quests innumerable fresh stories are possible. The story of Blue Beetle attempts to interweave 3 familiar tales of Odysseus, Prometheus & Duryodhan.Combining multiple quests to create a seamless story requires interweaving. Interweaving occurs when similar events of 2 quests occur simultaneously in the story. Jaime’s quest is interwoven with only the quest of Victoria. Jenny’s quest isn’t interwoven with both Jaime & Victoria. Here is an example of interweaving the quests of Jaime & Victoria.
