What comes to mind when you hear the word "epic"?  What are some things that you consider epic?  What would you consider an epic movie (besides Epic Movie)?  How might these compare with a literary Epic?

When I hear "epic" I think of something that is so cool that it could be the next best thing. Some things I consider epic are sports, big bull elk and decked out trucks. Scary Movie 3 is an "epic movie". An actual epic is a long poem, usually narrating adventures of heroic figures.

When I hear the word "epic" I think of something amazing or grand. I could consider a good play in hockey to be epic or if someone has a cool talent then it would be epic. An epic movie for me would be Top Gun because it sis filled with a lot of action and intense scenes.

When I hear the word epic I think of something thats cool and sometimes intense. Something thats epic to me is skydiving. I think Mission Impossible is an epic movie. This is different from a literary epic because I think in a book epic means exciting.

When I hear the word epic I think of something that is "super cool". Some things I consider epic is traveling to a foreign country, or a new world record. An epic movie is Star Wars. The literary definition for epic means long poem that includes adventures and a movie like Star Wars is a part of a long series and is very adventurous.

Star Wars is definitely an adventurous movie and is a great example of being "epic"

When I hear the word epic I think something is cool or sick. I consider sports, motor sports, and MMA really epic. I would consider epic movies to be very intense, hardcore, and breathtaking.

Something really cool or impressive. The things that I think are epic are a really good shot in basketball or a dunk mid-game. I think an epic movie would be Hot Rod because it is full of "epic" stunts. The main character Rod is technically the hero because he has to overcome obstacles to save his step dad's life, this relates to a literary epic because they tend to be about heroes.

Something that come to mind when I hear the word "epic" is sick, cool, legendary status, and many more. I consider something that was really cool to do like sending it down a mountain on a long board or a near death experience. A epic movie to me would be the movie star wars. An actual epic is a long poem, usually narrating adventures of heroic figures.

When I hear the word epic I tend to think about something going really well. Like hitting a half court shot or scoring a touchdown and someone saying, that was epic! Things I consider epic are winning in sports, College Football, and animals. For a movie to be epic to me it should be funny and action based.
