Prelate Diogenes Shandor

Something with a deity who is a combination of Jesus and Ninurta who weilds a weapon called "The Club of 700" (a portmanteau of The 700 Club and The Smasher of Thousands)

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft


He who fights with monsters must take care lest he thereby become a monster -Nietzsche

You are a fluke of the universe, and whether you can hear it of not the universe is laughing behind your back -Deteriorata

There is an active deity that answers prayers and punishes evil. However, this deity exists backwards in time. When someone loses something precious to them and laments it's loss it is this deity who is the reason they had it in the first place. And when a misfortune turns someone wicked and vengeful it is this deity who sent the misfortune to punish the wickedness.
This reminds me of how courts are using predictive AI to determine sentence (<-this last word forced on me by autocorrect, selecting against the infinitive)

One day the deity decides to give humanity another go at a semi-formal 'outroduction' of itself. The deity picks Utube as the appropriate medium, presenting a show called 'Endocalypse' that reveals how the world really works, at least from it's perspective.

Beyond the juridical, topics also include reinterpretations of classic texts, scientific theories and philosophy. For example, mains electrical current is grounded because power is actually drawn from the earth; telephones are actually telepathy amplifiers; reading does not transmit knowledge, words are cryptographic keys that unlock access to knowledge of the dead.

Myth with the Fates recast as creator deities. The tapestry they weave is the universe itself with the threads being the worldlines of particles, which they connect (there's not really a correct tense for this since it happens outside of time. "Connected"? "are connecting"?) according to a fixed set of rules corresponding to the laws of physics. When indeterminate quantum phenomena occur Fortuna is consulted to decide how the threads shall be positioned.

Will motion capture still work if you stick the motion capture dots on a regular costume? Because I had an idea to make a sequel to the 1992 Super Mario Bros. movie by making an entire movie based on Doki Doki Panic and then digitally re-editing and re-dubbing it into a Mario Brothers movie

The Wizard Joseph

You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

"Ayn Rand never swung a hammer in her life and had serious dominance issues" - The Fountainhead

"World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation."
- Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality :lulz:

"You program the controller to do the thing, only it doesn't do the thing.  It does something else entirely, or nothing at all.  It's like voting."
- Billy, Aug 21st, 2019

"It's not even chaos anymore. It's BANAL."
- Doktor Hamish Howl

Show with anthropomorphic bees where the queen bee actually isn't a literal queen for once. Instead she's more like a hillbilly matriarch with way too many kids. This is more biologically accurate, and a potential source of humor.

Rococo Modem Basilisk

A wealthy adventurer forms a party around himself to quest to defeat some ancient demon king, but as the story progresses it becomes clear that, out of a warped sense of sportsmanship and a huge overestimation of the ability of the party, this adventurer has hired mercenary bands to make their quest more difficult. His arc is coming to terms with the fact that an adventurer's life is actually serious -- these tasks are life-or-death risks -- and when the stakes are so high, misplaced chivalry is tantamount to being a traitor.

*Deconstruction of movies and games where an uploaded consciousness becomes monstrous in which the uploaded consciousness is literally a robot vampire

*Thriller wherein it is discovered that both the eucharist and the story of infant Jesus being placed in a manger are holdovers from a suppressed early form of Christianity that practiced cannibalism

*Thriller wherein it is discovered that the Republicans are deliberately trying to melt the ice caps in order to flood the (mostly coastal) blue states

Rococo Modem Basilisk

While his squad is investigating an insurgent attack on an archaeological dig, a soldier with a macabre sense of humor finds a notebook on the corpse of an anthropologist describing ancient funerary cannibalism practices from a culture that believed eating the brain of the deceased allows their spirits to possess the living. When one of his squadmates gets killed, he tries it, jokingly, but it works. Later, more and more of them are killed, even ultimately in their bunks, and he eats each one, until he discovers that the first squadmate has been possessing his body in order to get revenge on the rest of the group for not protecting him properly.
