I am in love with Crash Course videos just in general and this trio was no exception! I was a little disappointed that it wasn't one of the Green brothers hosting the episodes though. Overall, these video were fun and informative. I appreciated that they took the time in the first episode to apologize in advance for the possibility of insult to some religions, and that inherent sexism in hero stories was addressed at the beginning of the 3rd video (episode 25). The joke about Rick Riordan was cool too because I was that kid that got a *little* too into the Percy Jackson series in elementary school. The progression of stages that are discussed were super interesting. Listening to the descriptions actually made me think of the story of Disney's Mulan (if you include the sequel). There is also some similarity to the personal stories of those who have served overseas.
