I actually can't think of any father-son stories that don't involve the Campbellian struggle with / slaying of the father and taking his place, even if only metaphorically. *side-eyes Supernatural*
I would love to see more mother-daughter stories where the mother-daughter conflict isn't a major part of it, yes absolutely -- but I do feel that Brave gave us a case where both the mother and the daughter were right in some fashion.
