You never know what you’re going to do when you go out of town on a whirlwind vacation and no one was more surprised than me when, due to being out and about in the Chicago suburbs and wanting to kill time after my friend lost a tooth filling (not worth going into), we decided to take in the matinee at a really old locally owned movie theatre The Pickwick.
I had not
been to the movies in at least eight years and going there in the early
afternoon--not able to halfway entertain the idea of eating a bucket of super-buttered
popcorn at such an hour--we sat snackless and sodaless and watched, of all
things, the latest Superman movie.
Outside of reading
a few superhero comic books in my youth, even saving them for a time thinking someday
they might be worth money, I have never had ANY interest in ANYTHING superhero
related. Needless to say, this was the first superhero movie I ever watched in
a theatre and I don’t ever remember watching one with a TV set either.
I found the
movie to be pretty lame with poorly written dialogue (including bad language) and endless sound effects.
My friend actually fell asleep through part of it. When I came back to Ohio and
told my mom about this outing, she said, “Oh, yeah, I heard it’s a really ‘woke’
movie.”
A King James
Bible Believer I sometimes remember to go to on YouTube to see what he’s
talking about had this analysis:
“They’re ‘fun
and entertaining’ movies that capture the hearts and minds of a generation, but
what is going on here? What is a superhero? Well, according to James Gunn, who
is the writer and director of this latest installment of the Superman franchise, Superman is the ‘first ever superhero, created in the 1930s.’
“I would say
there’s nothing new about superheroes—they’re just the repackaged gods of polytheism
and if you think about it, culture is religious. There’s a religion baked into
every culture. Certain mythologies, certain values, certain concepts and ideas,
a certain worldview just by living in a particular place at a certain time.
Today, the superheroes are the modern-day pantheon; we live in a polytheistic
culture.
“Gunn says he
was introduced to Superman and this magical world, a world with giants or giant
monsters and robots and sorcery and “magic so extreme that it seemed like
sorcery.”
“So the Superman
movie is about sorcery, according to the writer of the movie, which is about an
alien who has a human girlfriend.
*****
“Milly Alcock
plays ‘Supergirl the Woman of Tomorrow,” so evolution includes not only a
fictional history of humanity, but the possibility of an alternate future of
humanity because, according to the doctrine of evolution, we’re always evolving.
“So the
transhumanist agenda needs this concept of a history of evolution so that we
can continue to evolve in the future just like Alcock has evolved into the
woman of tomorrow, and the demons are using the mass media to try to influence
us and lead us astray and things may not be what they appear to be on the
surface.
“Once again, we
have these same elements as in all these other movies with aliens and demons,
laboratories, inter-dimensional beings, alien parasites, fecal matter, cloning,
hybrids, androgynes . . .
“Now with
this latest Superman movie we’ve got the ‘butt babies’ and this is all part of their
canon and part of their so-called bible. It’s an alternative religion; Superman
is like a god in our culture. People look to Superman to get hope.
“Superman’s a
demon, all right? Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Superman came
here to colonize the world and to enslave and exterminate humanity.
“Certain
directors seem to have certain themes in most of their movies and James Gunn is
really into these superheroes which are called Metahumans, by the way (think of
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta). Gunn also made a movie about alien parasites inhabiting
a human host called “Slither.”
“Gunn has
said he was created in a lab and grown in a petri dish to make these movies,
such as Guardians of the Galaxy, which is another movie about the
pantheon.”
