Nothing substitutes for the more direct form of violence. In every form of literature we end up with fistfights – a form of combat that is met with surprisingly seldom in real life. Detectives fight, Western heroes flail away, romantic lovers indulge in pugilistic displays. This is especially true in movies and television where they leave no bruises and mess no hair, though the sound of bone on bone is deafening.
But even that is not enough, We still want the old pre-gunpowder days, when the mighty biceps were needed to raise mighty swords and when the hero had to find a way of defeating sorcery with nothing but brute muscle at his disposal.
So why not write the story? It doesn't have to be in the present world, does it? It can be in the past. In fact, it doesn't have to be in the real past where it will be bound (however faintly) by known historical facts. Create a world of medieval civilisation immersed in a sea of barbarism, and bring forth Heracles anew. You have “sword” and “sorcery”. You have “heroic fantasy”. You have all the dreams back.
