Modern Monsters
The Land of Oz
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is only the first Oz novel by L. Frank Baum.
He wrote a total of 14 Oz novels.
His post-Wizard of Oz books feature characters such as Jack Pumpkinhead, Princess Ozma, the Nome King, the Shaggy Man, and a robot named Tik-Tok.
No relation to the app, obviously.
Dorothy even travels to the other Oz!

Space Aliens
Ancient Spacefolk
This pseudoscientific (and pseudohistoric) idea claims that space aliens visited Earth and established contact with humanity in ancient times.
Among the falsehoods it claims to be true are:
Human evolution was an alien genetic experiment
The gods are aliens
Aliens made everything
It also has a racist element because it is suggesting that non-European peoples couldn't possibly have made such great advancements.
As a weeaboo for world cultures and mythologies (hence this website), this turns me off of this malarkey, and I choose to honor the achievements of ancient peoples all over the world from every continent and culture.
After all, our human ancestors weren't imbeciles.
Modern Heroes
The Story of Bionicle
Gathered friends, listen again to the tale of my childhood.
In the time before time (the 2000s), Lego launched an expansive franchise set in a universe of biomechanical robots.
Designed primarly for ages 8 to 16 (around my age group at the time), it saved Lego from money troubles and weaved a mythology of its own.
