Article has major problems

Currently, this article does not make it explicit that academics who specialize in folklore—and to be clear, myth is a genre of folklore—have largely rejected Campbell's concept of a "monomyth" as essentially pseudoscience, if they mention it at all. This would be a lot more clear if the article employed WP:RS-compliant secondary sources instead of various websites that embrace the concept. I've removed most of the obvious offenders here and brought in some commentary form folklorists, notably Alan Dundes, but the article really needs a total rewrite to make the reality of the reception of this material clear to readers. :bloodofox: (talk) 18:46, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
