Meat Mountain Mythos is already making references to a very weird Civil War and its aftermath. Like, the "Fraternal Order of Ghouls." If you want that, you'll get it.

Also, I still need to go see Scott's Napoleon. However, I have been really let down by the reviews I had read thus far focusing on Napoleon being an incel Arthur. It's supposed to be the epic war film Kubrick wanted to make, not an historically inaccurate romance. But I digress lol. *Deep breaths and meditates to the Emperor's portrait*
I went to see Napoleon yesterday and, no spoilers, the movie suffers a lot because of all the cutting they had to do for theatres. Is a classic Ridley Scott issue. The original cut was four hours and a half, iirc; the theatre's cut is two hours and forty minutes. I went with that in mind and I could see how it made many things about the characters and plot development feel... lacking.
Still, I don't think the other cut would be enough to show such a monumental life as Napoleon's.
The war stuff is still there throughout the movie, and is the peak of the film. The battles, the invasion of Russia... Again, no spoilers, but I would recommend you all to watch the movie on theatres just because of the war segments.
Getting back on topic, WMIT is my only Napoleon53 read (besides lurking on Black Spire) but this Meat Mountain Mythos is picking up my interest. So the format is going to be more in the line of WMIT VOL I, more like it's analogical horror inspiration "Monument Mythos" or more like a twisted version of the classic "big family" epic with some supernatural stuff in the background?
