But I'm pretty sure "was Joseph Campbell's mentor" and "wrote and directed THX-1138 and American Graffiti" should qualify one to choose whether or not they're going to follow the formula.

I want you to tell me who the main character of The Avengers is. I can tell you it's not Captain America, 'cause he was just some boring captain. Now you might think it's Iron Man, but we don't meet him until 45 minutes into the movie.

A major reason for the backlash is because a lot of fans went into the theater expecting a Hollywood blockbuster, forgetting that the writer-director is an indie filmmaker who never wanted anything to do with Hollywood, and was only begrudgingly including things like characters and plot.

Their entire idea is that George Lucas is a hack and that he had the one good idea about Star Wars and that anyone could have done it or do it better. Real delusion.

“Joseph Campbell’s mentor”? Is that a typo, or have I missed something huge?

Typo. I meant “Joseph Campbell’s mentee” or “was mentored by Joseph Campbell.”
