When I think of epic it is something I usually consider incredible and over the top amazing. I consider well games pretty epic such as Detroit: Become Human or The Evil Within. I consider Elvis an epic movie. Literary epic can maybe be a work of writing that is over the top incredible.

Correcting my last sentence: Literary epic is long narrative poem that usually deals with important subjects matter like events of cultural significance and heroic actions and some things I consider epic include these topics.

I like how you think differently than most people. I didn't even think of the Elvis movie.

When I think of the word epic I think about something with adventure and action. An epic movie is the Emperors New Groove. This movie is full of excitement and humor thus leading it to be classified as epic. It relates to a literary epic because I am sure that Epics are full of adventure and drama.

When I hear epic, I think of something that is really cool. So I think the Marvel movies are epic. This compares to a literary epic because its about a hero or heros that save the day.

That is a great comparison I didn't even think about the Marvel movies.

When I hear the word epic I think of something so incredible and mind blowing, but I don't think that very many things can be considered epic. A movie I would consider epic would probably be Hidalgo.
