Endless Myth and The Metabarons

 


Endless Myth and The Metabarons

— Bloodline Mythology, Omniversal Structure, and the Expanding Jodoverse —

The novel Endless Myth and The Metabarons are both works of vast cosmic mythology.

At the same time, The Metabarons is one of the central pillars of the universe created by Alejandro Jodorowsky—commonly referred to as the Jodoverse.

One constructs an endlessly expanding omniversal structure,
while the other builds mythology through bloodline, inheritance, and fate.

This article compares them through mythic structure, lineage, and the expanding nature of the Jodoverse.


1. Axis of Myth: Structure vs. Bloodline

Endless Myth defines the universe as structure itself.
Multiverses, dimensional hierarchies, and omniversal layers expand infinitely.

The Metabarons defines the universe through bloodline.
Each generation carries the weight of destiny, violence, and inheritance.

In short:

Endless Myth: universe as structure
Metabarons: universe as bloodline


2. The Jodoverse: A Myth Built Through Connection

The Jodoverse is not a single unified story, but a network of interconnected works, including:

  • The Incal

  • Before the Incal

  • The Metabarons

  • The Technopriests

Each work functions as a fragment of a larger mythology.

Among them, The Metabarons stands out as a pure bloodline epic,
where lineage itself becomes cosmic destiny.


3. Fate: Open Infinity vs. Closed Destiny

In Endless Myth, existence expands endlessly.
Even fate can branch into multiple possibilities.

In The Metabarons, fate is rigid and absolute.
Violence, duty, and inheritance pass from father to son in a closed cycle.

Thus:

Endless Myth: open, infinite destiny
Metabarons: closed, inherited destiny


4. Characters: Conceptual Beings vs. Tragic Heroes

Characters in Endless Myth often function as conceptual or cosmic entities.
They represent structures of reality itself.

In The Metabarons, characters are tragic, mythic warriors.
They are superhuman, yet defined by loss, trauma, and inheritance.


5. Jodorowsky’s Artistic Vision: Violence and Myth

Alejandro Jodorowsky is known for combining:

  • Mythic scale storytelling

  • Physical and psychological intensity

  • Symbolic imagery

  • Violence as a spiritual language

The Metabarons represents one of his most extreme expressions of blood-and-myth storytelling.


6. Expansion of Myth: Omniverse vs. Network

Endless Myth expands from within a single system.
The structure itself grows infinitely.

The Jodoverse expands through connection.
Each new work adds another layer to the mythology.

Importantly, the Jodoverse is still expanding today.
It is not a closed canon but an evolving mythological network.


Conclusion: Structure, Bloodline, or Connection?

Endless Myth and The Metabarons present two different foundations of myth:

Endless Myth: myth as infinite structure
Metabarons: myth as bloodline inheritance

And the Jodoverse itself functions as a third model:
myth expanded through interconnected works.

This comparison leads to a fundamental question:

Is myth something that exists as structure—
or something that is born through lineage and continuation?
