    I get the sentiment, but check out the length of the Taoist cannon, it would challenge even some modern day myth lengths like Marvel super hero comics.

      Here I thought that the Taoist canon was only the Tao Te Ching (which is pretty short).

      canon = approved literature

      cannon = large gun that fires grapeshot, etc.

        Now I can’t help thinking about what a Taoist Megaman villains gallery would look like
