Consumerism culture in our modern times creates a colloquialization of history that is connected to economics-driven lifestyle talk. Hence, we see the popularity of capitalism-celebratory American comic book avatars such as Richie Rich (a young boy who uses his incredible inherited wealth to go on adventures and missions tackling the schemes of sinister tyrants).
This sort of 'shop talk' motivates scholars to re-cast old world historical characters in a new light of colloquialized academics. For example, we can reference the 'demon knight' character of Mordred, sworn nemesis of the fabled kingdom of Camelot from Old England to discuss ideas about profiteerism courage since such discussions stir the curiosity of today's history students.
It's no wonder that these days, Hollywood (USA) makes 'layman archaeology' movies such as "Avatar" (2009).
