What We Learned

1. Storytelling is a skill that is independent on writing.

Many people tend to associate storytelling with writing a book, but it can be found in anything you create such as art, movies, music, etc.

2. Every great hero is broken

We connect with the heroes that have flaws. It helps us emotionally connect with them and gives us a reason to cheer them on.

3. Villains are like heroes.

Villains are very similar to heroes. They both experience something that happened to them, but they response in different ways. They both want something, but go about achieving it in different ways.
