Epic.

Posted by Typicalanonymous - October 21st, 2011


You know, the word "epic" has really changed and morphed over the past few years. The connotation it has is so immense now. I realized this a little ago. I was talking to my grandmother, telling her about how The Dark Knight was an epic movie, but she didn't really get it. I guess for her, epic means dramatic, not really the extreme I have for it. For me, epic means the combination of all things that could leave you stunned and bewildered due to awesomeness, whether that be an incredible plot in a movie/anime/videogame, a really good romance in a story, a combination of terrible things that happen to a character to give them the shittiest life ever, yet they power through it. Epic is really just everything that is good in a story that makes you stop and admire the masterpiece that it is.

I feel kinda honored, seeing as how our generation has cornered a word. 60's has groovy, we have epic, but I think epic is better. That being said, I also think epic is the most incorrectly used word ever. (GEE GUYS LOOK AT MYZ EPICZ 360 NOSCOPEZ!11!!! OR MY EPICZ OWNAGES!!11!)

hello

Hello! Isn't today a good day? It's a freakin' Friday. =D

Epic can be referred to as:
1.) Noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style: Homer's Iliad is an epic poem.
2. Resembling or suggesting such poetry: an epic novel on the founding of the country.
3. Heroic; majestic; impressively great: the epic events of the war.
4. Of unusually great size or extent: a crime wave of epic proportions.

Well, yes, that's what the dictionary says, but when you can't describe something because it is so perfect, you use epic. Or at least I do. =D
