    All mythologies except maybe christian mythology have very bad representation on mainstream media.

    The Dogon tribe around Mali in West African caught attention because they might have been able to identify that a star was a binary system before modern tech did (possibly due to good eyesight but also possibly just bad anthropology.)

    This led to a lot of interest in their religion, which have elements that ancient astronaut weirdos have adopted into that mythology. It deserves some not stupid attention.

    Zoroastrianism would be cool. Basically the answer is anything not europe or specifically egypt but I always felt that for example a hindu god killer game would be fkn sick. Like either GoW format or Diablo-like.

    Look at symbols of Christian holidays, then read where they came from. I’d say that represents misrepresented mythologies. It’s all stolen symbolism to blot out the competition.

    The Easter bunny giving eggs? Spring is about fucking and both of those are symbols of fertility.

    If by poor representation you mean misrepresentation then Islam hands down. If you meant lack of representation then I’d say zoroastrianism and celtic paganism. There are plenty others I’d love to see but I picked what I did because we know enough about them with enough certainty on details that we could accurately represent them if we tried. I’d also love to see Bedouin paganism and Mayan mythology accurately represented in popular media but this is much more difficult to accomplish.
