Independence Day and the Blue Beam Project

 

The 1996 movie Independence Day has a very interesting story to tell, and today we will analyze some of its messages. We will also get into hidden history and conspiracy theories, so get ready, because today, in the Pasture of Knowledge, you will learn multiple things. 

NPC People Love Aliens

The first half of the movie revolves about some different characters. We have a redneck who claims to have been abducted, a hacker protestor who loves the planet and dislikes people who is played by Jeff Goldblum, a funny black american who is on the military and is played by Will Smith and a president of the United States who actually cares about the United States. 

A series of massive spaceships approach the earth and it is unknown whether they come in peace or with the intention of destroying humanity. This ignorance doesn't prevent people from stacking below the doors of the spaceship and dancing excitedly below them, with the equivalent of "Refugees Welcome" cartels in their hands, begging E.T. to take them to their planet. 

When the establishment has found out the intentions of the spaceships, they warn people to leave, but they are so fascinated by the aliens that they never leave.

And the result? They get smothered by blue lasers and die. 

The moral is that you should not be a pijama person who gets so excited about something new or unexpected and forgets self preservation and situational awareness. Stay away from what the NPC masses do if you do not want to be like the people in this movie.

As the movie progressed, I realized it was propaganda for the American people, in favor of the government and military. 

For example, many of the battles are protagonized by very cool pilots riding very cool planes and fighting against evil psychic squid alien demons. The president isn't the Mascot of an evil deep state looking for excuses to abuse its own people and people from overseas, but a highly-likable character, a good father who deeply cares about people and blames himself for not stopping the first invasion.  

Let us not forget that this is the movie where america saves the entirety of the world from an alien invasion; for they are the ones who figure out how to destroy the aliens and their spaceships. The movie is full of patriotic scenes that I actually found hilarious. 

 They are also the ones who inspire the entire world to ignore their differences and get together to stop the greater menace; something that brings us to the next question. 

America bringing forth the New World Order? 

It seems that while for the people this is a fun popcorn movie with destruction, action, tender moments and Will Smith, for the establishment (at least, the establishment of 1997) the story is quite different.

As they prepare to fight against the evil psychic squid conquerors, the president clears his throat and gives as speech, suggesting people should forever ignore their "petty differences" because for one moment they had to unite and fight extraterrestrials. 

This theme is central to the movie: We see different americans all over the country uniting against the treat: the president, the crazy redneck, the military black american (presumably a reference to the so-called right wing) the protestor hacker who does science (a reference to the so-called left), the stripper, the rabbi and the female politician all play the role of representing different americans from all walks of life. 

Later, when America passes the cheat-code to other countries to defeat the aliens, we see countries that fought the United States somewhere in time. I recognized Japan, Russia and Britain. This movie was intended to tell Americans they would be responsible for uniting the whole world under the New World Order. 

Israel makes an appearance too, of course. They probably identify with the aliens a bit too much, as they love smashing buildings, people, and symbolic locations.

It also has a bit of religious ecumenism, for example, when the rabbi guy prays with people of all so-called faith traditions. 

The Blue Beam Project 

This consists on a possible false flag made by the establishment. By faking an alien invasion (presumably, using CGI, directed energy weapons and the media), they could send the people into a panic and force them to accept dictatorial mandates they would never consider otherwise. 

Consider for example, how much the US government tried to hide (or pretended to try to hide) information about UFOs, and extraterrestrials; but in 2021 they suddenly were showing off their footage and driving attention to the topic like if it were very important. 

The mexican government followed suit, of course, with some cheap imitation of a psychological operation.

Some people have suggested too, that some "alien abductions" have actually been mind control experiments by the government who then blamed it on E.T. This distracts the population and prevents people who suffered the trauma from being taken seriously, because they remember it as an alien abduction and not a government experiment. 

An even scarier Blue Beam project could involve not only extraterrestrials, but interdimensional beings. The reason for this is that movies like Event Horizon and Hellraiser have already presented demons and/or ghost as entities from other dimensions, rather than biological beings from other planets. 

The idea that humans should unite is not bad in itself, it is just that I do not want it to happen by the hand of neocons, Israel or freemasons. Neither do we want it to happen by the hand of the people who would lie to us about an alien invasion. 

The Soulless Remake for Modern Audiences

In 2015 a "sequel" for Independence Day was released, albeit it kind of works like a remake. It is almost like if the directors had a checklist for things that worked in the original movie and just remade them for Independence Day Resurgence. 

+ Funny pilot gets inside Alien spaceship? Check

+ Psychic Alien Squid strangles a man and uses it to communicate its plans to the audience? Check

+ Massive destruction of well-known locations? Check 

+ The cheesy musical theme from the original movie? Check

+ New World Order Message? Check 

+ Ecumenism? Check

+ Area 51? Check

+ Angry military man who needs to sit down? Check

+ A character sacrifices himself to defeat the aliens? Check

Except that this time it falls flat and nobody cares. 

The only thing missing was the cheesy american patriotism that gave me so much cringe and made me laugh so hard. Perhaps the current establishment doesn't like America as much as they used to do.  

The movie actually seems to suggest President Whitner as some sort of antichrist or messianic world leader because after the invasion of the last movie, they reverse engineered the alien spaceships and used them to improve their technology. There had been no sign of wars or division since the last alien invasion, meaning President Whitner actually managed to unite the whole world and bring some sort of an utopia. 

Eventually he sacrifices himself. Will they resurrect him on a sequel soon?  

There is also a white sphere who speaks like a female and is a member of a different alien species. It is a transhumanist thing that transferred its conscience to a computer. She explains she is holding a "resistance" against the squid people and she might consider humans to join them. There is some cheap teasing for a sequel and the movie ends without shame or glory. 

Conclusion

Independence Day is a new world order movie that doesn't care if people accuse it of being propaganda. In fact, it is a masterpiece on propaganda, something that isn't hidden but doesn't prevent you from having fun. 

If you disagree with my interpretation of the movie, come and tell me your own opinion. Just make sure to avoid CGI deceptions anyways, whether they come from "the right" or "the left". 

Movie Review: Coco

 

Recently I watched the 2017 Pixar production Coco, based on the Day of the Death, a ripped-off version of All Souls Day which focuses more on leftover pagan traditions than on purgatory. 

On this tradition, people make tables honoring their dead relatives. They place photos, bread and skulls made of sugar, as well as Cempasuchil (mexican marigold) flowers and some of their favorite objects. Some people actually believe their family members come to pay them a visit and even enjoy the gifts offered to them.

Such pagan BS was bound to attract Hollywood. This flick was really popular and it attracted my attention, not only because of it's problematic theology but also because I live in Mexico, so in a way this is how Pixar wants you to look at us. So today, at the pasture of knowledge, I will descend into the world of this movie, it's defects and messages. 

The Portrayal of Mexico.

Some people complained that Coco is "cultural appropriation" and doesn't offer a good representation of Mexican culture. This is actually not true, because for the most part, the portrayal of the movie is accurate. It was loved by the mexicans for a reason. 

There are some inaccuracies, however, and I would like to point the most relevant to the plot: while Day of the Dead is celebrated everywhere, not everyone takes it as seriously as we see in the movie. 

This feast is mostly a thing of the poorer among us, the rich make the altars to people like Gandhi and Nelson Mandela while mixing it with Halloween. Children ask for "calaverita", which is a way of saying trick or treating. Not everyone believes the dead come to visit us, and even some novus ordo priests have openly criticized it. 

The Be Yourself Message Strikes Again

The plot follows a kid named Miguel and his dog Dante. The child wants to be a musician, but his family forbids it. Their great grandfather abandoned his family to become a successful mariachi and as a result they hate music. Here we have yet another be-yourself movie! Child must prove to his oppressive family that his dream is worth following.

Miguel is obsessed with Ernesto de la Cruz, a legendary mariachi and actor; the kid believes Ernesto is the aforementioned great-grandfather. This creep tells the audience to "follow their dreams and be true to themselves no matter what", and the kid swallows it up like a true fanboy. He comes out of his musical closet, only to be chastised and have his grandmother go full Pete Townsend and smash his guitar on the floor. 

Miguel does the Disney thing which is he runs away from home crying and attempts to find a new guitar. He steals the one that belonged to Ernesto, but some magical nonsense happens and he is transported to the realm of the dead. 

I know that be-yourself movies always portray the family as exaggerating on whatever they are imposing on the protagonist, but that is precisely the problem. All teens would like to believe their parents are going too far with those rules they don't want to follow. All teens would like to believe that their families are as ridiculous as the one we see in this movie, but that isn't necessarily the case and movies like this do not help the discernment.

 

The Coco Afterlife 

I feel this movie could actually use their themes as an opportunity to teach on the deception of worldly fame and material goods. It's a movie about dead people after all. But instead they do the be-yourself thing of giving the protagonist his cake so that he can eat it.

The afterlife in Coco has no remains of Judgement, Hell, Heaven or anything spiritual. This afterlife is in fact very similar to the world we live in: there are immigration offices, social classes, shows and celebrities, even food. There is even a "final death".  

One would expect a movie about death to consider how we will leave everything when we die but for people who like to treat the afterlife as a nice little coping mechanism there is no purpose on meditating on this. 

The aforementioned "final death" on this afterlife is being forgotten by your family, something that drives most of the plot. Miguel needs to "receive a blessing" from one of his ancestors in other to go back home, but his great grandmother will only bless him if he promises to never play music again. Desperate to get his wish, he and a friendly skeleton named Hector who claims to know Ernesto try to access him so that the kid can leave as he wills.

Ernesto de la Cruz

When Miguel finally meets his idol, the mariachi is obviously egocentric but he treats the child kindly, showing him around his mansion. However, Hector appears and angrily calls out Ernesto for stealing his songs. It is revealed that Hector is not lying and that he was poisoned by the mariachi because he wanted to quit and go back with his family. Ernesto used his compositions to "have his moment". 

What I like about this character is that he shows the logical consequences of following the be-yourself message. If your only purpose in life is following your dreams, your passions and your desires, you are likely to do stuff like this. Whether on the little or on the big ways. Nobody can accuse Ernesto of being a hypocrite who acted in contrast to his beliefs. 

With this shocking plot twist Miguel learns that his family is more important to him, and that perhaps persecuting worldly fame and pleasures is not worth it because it may make you evil and you face punishment from the wrath of God, right? 

Well, yes but no. Miguel learns to appreciate his family, but since he gets his cake and eats it too by reconciling with his parents and getting to be a musician, the audience misses the message you would expect from a movie about dead people: that not everything is worth living for. 

And about the punishment from the wrath of God... well, Ernesto gets punished not because he went to judgement and was found worthy of hell, but because he is exposed as a liar and a murderer. He remains stuck below a cathedral bell, waiting for people to forget him with the help of Miguel's family, who somehow managed to convince the world with Hector's story. 

According to this movie being forgotten is the real deal. This links with another message subtly suggested to the viewer: poverty. Hector wore a fancy white mariachi dress when he died, but throughout the movie he dresses like a beggar because nobody remembers him fondly. People about to be forgotten (including some suspicious ladies), live in slums, while the powerful keep their mansions. 

These are the people less likely to be forgotten: serial killers, celebrities and politicians. Is Disney telling us that men of fame will remain in their pleasures while the humble are obliterated into nothingness? That will certainly encourage children to pursue attention and fame, wouldn't it? Even if their family goes extinct, everyone else will remember them for as long as the world stays with us. 

Conclusion

Overall this movie is mostly well written, presenting some heartfelt moments of reconciliation between heartbroken family members. This movie could be so much better if it had focused on the message I pointed out above, managing to tell a story that took death more seriously.

Of course this would mean Coco would be a completely different movie, with a completely different perspective on the afterlife, perhaps even being less colorful and energetic as it is now. Right now, it stands as a wasted opportunity. Let us hope that our life is not a wasted opportunity as well.

This is the Most Popular Movie of 2025

It almost came from nowhere and took everyone by surprise. K-Pop Demon Hunters is a massive hit among audiences, particularly teenagers and children. Despite being released just this summer it quickly became Netflix's most successful movie in the history of the platform. 

But we are not here to celebrate. This movie is likely the most discordian family animated film ever released, and today, at the pasture of knowledge, I will take you through the story of the K-Pop Warriors and it's questionable messages. 

So, what is this movie even about? 

K-Pop Demon Hunters tells the story of a popular Korean pop band named Hunter/x. Rumi, Mira, and Zoey secretly work hunting demons. With their blazing white weapons and generic songs they maim and decapitate this entities, following a long tradition of Korean shaman women. 

Their mission to maintain the barrier between worlds closed is threatened with the appearance of the Saja Boys, a rival boy band formed by demons. The leader of this group, Ji-Noo, discovers that Rumi is half a demon, but helps her hide the secret. This makes them develop a relationship, in which they hear each other's feelings of shame and Rumi attempts to make him sabotage the Saja. 

But as the barrier between the worlds weakens, the demons expose Rumi's secret, as wound-like patterns show in her skin. Huntr/X breaks apart and the Saja hypnotize everyone (even Mira and Zoey) into their last concert. 

Eventually, Rumi accepts her demon heritage, she becomes stronger and frees her friends. They fight a final battle with the demons - in which Ji-Noo sacrifices himself for Rumi (!) - and the breach between worlds is shut down. 

The Most Discordian Love Interest in History 

First of all, let me begin my criticism by saying that having a demon be the love interest of our main character is intensely condemnable. It reminds me of Twilight, where a 16 year old girl falls in love with a vampire, except this time is more satanic. 

It is not uncommon for women to be attracted to broody, complicated men, only for those men to willingly or unwillingly ruin their lives. 

When that man is a demon who eats souls, its like jumping into an igniting supernova, without a spacesuit, and holding the core of a nuclear weapon. 

Some people attempt to defend this movie by claiming that the demon redeemed himself. And yet that is precisely why women end up in relationships with this people: they think they can save a man's soul with their sheltered lives and beautiful face. The movie feeds into this destructive fantasy with an entity that shouldn't even be able to be redeemed in the first place.

When this argument is uttered by Christians it is even more laughable because no demon will ever be redeemed. 

Others have attempted to save K-Pop Warriors by stating that the demons seen in the movie aren't the demons of christianity, but simply the demons of Korean mythology. They claim this are  generic fantastical supernatural entities without a particular connection with evil. 

However, this excuse is not to be accepted. 

Firstly, the demons are similar enough to Satan and other western devils for this excuse to be invalid. They cheat and deceive the humans to consume their souls. Gwi-Ma torments them with shame for their past actions. At some point and despite being Korean, they sing in latin the following verses: 

Dies irae illa 

Vos Solve In Faviliam 

Maledictus Erus 

In flammas aeternum

Furthermore, the master of the demons, Gwi-Ma, takes the following form during the final confrontation: 

Gwi-Ma, the demon king and main antagonist, at the final battle

This form is remarkably similar to western  medieval art, in which hell is represented as a massive mouth: 

This type of representation is called "Hell mouth"

Self-Acceptance To a Whole New Level 

The problem with the message of self-acceptance is that some things about the human character are not to be loved or embraced. The fact that Rumi embraced her "demonic side" is extremely subversive. She is not accepting a physical or mental condition which she can't change; she is not accepting a harmless quirk or a trauma from the past: she is accepting demon-kind, evil dwelling within herself. 

Demons are entities of pure evil, and in fiction they represent all that is abominable. While Rumi herself was not responsible for whatever her mother did to conceive a half devil, there is no reason to praise her for embracing the demonic within herself. Are we supposed to believe this kind of behavior could banish demons to Hell? 

Finally, the idea of devils breeding with humans is common through legends all over the world, but it's stupid (how can a demon conceive a child?) and quite frankly, disgusting. 

The Songs 

The songs in my opinion would likely need an entire article for themselves, but I will make a brief criticism.

"My Idol" is the villain song by the Saja Boys. It is a very popular song, with the Netflix sing-along video marking it as the moment with more reproductions. 

Here the demons sing about how they deceive and seduce people. Tell me, who wants to sing along to a song like this? 

Then we have "Soda Pop", the debut Saja Boys song, which is quite suggestive. 

The songs by Huntr/X are less condemnable, with my main concern being the context in which they are presented. 

For example, Free is a love song about people who love each other because of their common shame, and Golden is the song where Rumi completes her character arc and closes the gap between worlds. 

Finally, we have Takedown, an aggressive song in which the shamans sing about how much they loathe demons and will mercilessly smother them. 

The Sexual Side of K-Pop 

Let me tackle this quickly. K-Pop fans seem to be very interested on the physical appearance of the stars, sometimes to a point where it is quite uncomfortable. 

Zoey is one of those fans that are always focusing on this. She is fascinated with the pretty faces of the Saja Boys even as she fights them. 

In my opinion publicly showcasing a crush on stars is likely negative for the mental health of the celebrities themselves and it's a bad message to show in a movie. This is true not just in K-Pop but in any celebrity with a pretty face. 

While the movie satirizes this aspect of K-Pop fans, it also feeds into it. With characters like Ji-Noo and his overall plotline, as well as the attractive design of the majority of the singers. Anyone who is not an adult can be deceived into falling for this kind of behavior - after all, the breeding instincts are very powerful. 

Conclusion 

K-Pop Demon hunters is the next step into discordian family movies. It's so telling that many mainstream conservatives and Anti-woke sloptubers praised this flick because it doesn't have lesbian cameos and diversity hires. 

Feeding into a toxic complex of the human mind while attempting to redeem a pair of demons is condemnable in spite of any nuance the viewer can find on the movie. 

If anyone gets anything positive from this thing, good for them. But in the meantime, I will do what's necessary to take it down. 

ROBLOX IS BAD

 

Roblox is a platform full of different types of videogames, usually tycoons, obbys (obstacle courses) and "horror" games. Roblox is extremely popular for children. 

Everything seems fine at the beginning: colorful scenarios full of lego like characters, but this is only the surface. 

Roblox is full of groomer pedophiles.

 This has been known for multiple years, (unsurprisingly, for what can one expect about an kids game with a CHAT function). 

Recently a groomer hunter named Schlep was banned from the platform, causing a huge scandal since the company does little to prevent grooming in the game. 

Another problem is that some creeps make their degenerate videogames in the platform and purposefully let minors in. 

This is more infuriating when you realize most of the games in the platform are trash, and your children would be more entertained flipping a water bottle or fingering car keys. Roblox is putting children at risk with bad quality content. 

If you play without using robux (Roblox money), it's essentially a walking simulator in poor quality scenarios. Brain rot made a game.

In general I would recommend avoiding multiplayer videogames with chat. Some like Minecraft do offer the possibility of entering a server; however, unlike Roblox, you can play them without having the possibility of talking to weirdos. 

Reading this article from Bloomberg, I get the impression Roblox's groomer problem is by design. It would be so easy to simply take away the Chat feature, but Roblox refuses to do so, insisting instead on "regulating" the content, a recourse that has proved to be ineffective and will fail to protect everyone. 

Furthermore, as I mentioned before, playing comfortably is virtually imposible without Roblox money, which provides to the predators an easy way of baiting the children who can't stop playing Roblox. (Ie., do what I tell you and I will give you free robux) 

If you insist on letting them play, monitor their gameplay, but I don't see why would anyone let their children use Roblox when there are so many free mobile videogames without open chat, and so many family friendly options like Nintendo or Cool Math Games.

The Zack Snyder Trilogy: Man of Steel

The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is a collection of movies inspired by the characters of DC Comics. Most of this movies are not very good and the DCEU itself had a very troublesome history. They didn't know how to please audiences and constantly changed from dark, desaturated and depressing movies to corny and funny flicks that attempted to attract children. 

In 2022-23, the DCEU died with the movies Flash and Black Adam. A new version of the DCEU will be rebooted in 2025 with a Superman movie. 

Speaking of which, I will analyze the movie that brought Superman to the 2010's box office. This movie is: 

Man of Steel

This movies give special attention to Superman, as Zack Snyder's adaptation of this character offers quite a lot to discuss. 

Snyder saw Superman as some sort of Jesus Christ figure. (or, should I say, rip-off). A savior from another world, a lover of humanity who uses his power to save everyone.  

Man of steel is a rather dark adaptation for the kryptonian. Instead of the charming boy-scout character most people knew from the comics, movies and television shows, here Superman barely ever smiles and behaves grimly, even suggesting some degree of madness. 

The reason this movie catched my attention is rooted on an article I read on a lefebvrist website long ago. This article was written by a protestant minister and claimed that Man of Steel was a movie in which Superman would be the Antichrist and his enemy, Captain Zod, the God of the Bible, who would be of course portrayed in a negative way. 

So, today, in the corner of madness, I will attempt to answer this questions: Is Man of Steel about Antichrist? Is Captain Zod a parody of God? How far did Zack Snyder go to bring parallels between Jesus and Superman?  

Synopsis

First we have to resume what happens in this movies. Therefore, let me begin: 

Man of Steel begins in the planet Krypton, which is about to explode because the kryptonians used its core to fuel themselves. Superman's father, Jor-el, chastises the kryptonians for their stupidity and warns them of their impending doom. 

Kryptonian society is decaying too. For starters, their children are fabricated; motherhood and fatherhood do not exist. This isn't the case with Kal-El, the future Clark Kent; whose birth is natural. His father infuses within him the genetic codex of his species and prepares to send him off, while his mom suggests he will be treated as an outcast and executed. 

But Jor-El insists he will actually be appreciated "he will be treated as a god" and off he goes. 

General Zod, who is our generic space-nazi villain attempts to take control over the planet and preserve only the best Kryptonians. After killing Jor-El he and his followers are defeated and sent to the phantom zone in capsules. He warns Supie's mom he will find the codex & baby as Kal travels its way through the galaxies and krypton explodes. 

Kal-el is found by Martha and Jonathan Kent. The later doesn't want his adoptive son to save people because he is afraid the government will find him and do things to him. That's reasonable, but he takes this fears to the extreme. He is smothered by a tornado for refusing his son's help, and even suggests he should just let people die before risking being recognized. 

Later on, the young Clark Kent dedicates himself to save people while hiding at the same time, following his desire to save people while honoring Jonathan's desire for anonymity. 

He has an identity crisis until he finds the Fortress of Solitude, where an AI version of his dad - "his consciousness" - tells him the story of Krypton and simultaneously asks him to be a guidance for humanity and chose his own path. 

While this two seem to be contradictory statements, I think that Jor-el wants his son to teach people to chose freedom, and to incite others to chose freedom by his example. 

Pay attention to his words:

"You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders"

Why would they join him in the sun? Does Jor-El worship Apollo?  

Just as Kent and Lois Lane are starting to fall in love, Captain Zod arrives to earth and informs the whole of humanity about his existence. Zod says he knows there is a kryptonian on the planet and wants him to present himself to their spaceship or else he will punish humans. 

Kal-EL starts doubting whether he should trust the American government to capture him and present him before Zod, betraying Jonathan's sacrifice. Clark could fly all the way to the spaceship and present himself; he could also look for advice to NPC Jor-El, but instead he goes to the worst place you could possibly go for advice: a novus ordo church. 

The novus ordo priest gives him generic advice about "trusting your gut". He also says that sometimes you have to give a "leap of faith", which based on the context of a movie he is talking about faith in humanity. Only after "the leap of faith", Superman will be able to see if people are worth trusting. 

After this he offers himself up to be captured by America and extradited to Zod. 

Zod extracts the codex from Superman, and explains to him that he will terraform the earth so he and his fellow space nazis get to inhabit the planet. He is making a "new krypton" and will use the codex to perpetuate the species. 

However, terra forming the planet will kill all humans, so Superman decides to push his limits and defeats the space nazis. While fighting with Zod, he destroys half of Metropolis. Superman also exterminates kryptonian eggs, meaning the species will be extinct once he dies. 

At the end of the movie he promises the American establishment that he doesn't hate them but will work independently. He chooses to hide himself behind a pair of glasses and live as a reporter for the Daily Planet.

Jesus, Superman & The Antichrist

We begin the discussions by pointing out the similarities.

 Someone from the skies is sent and decides to use his power to save people. He hides from them and lives as a misunderstood outsider, eventually to reveal himself. After he is captured and taken from earth, people are saved from something evil. 

The part when he goes to the church is like the prayer in Gethsemane because the evil of humanity overwhelms a doubting Superman. 

Even the over the top destruction of Metropolis we see in Man of Steel - which was criticized by classic superman fans - makes sense from this perspective: let us remember what happened to Jerusalem after rejecting the Messiah.  

In fact, something that Zack Snyder understood about the Messiah is that the Messiah is saving people who reject and ostracize their Savior. In other Superman products this isn't the case because Supie has few doubters. 

On top of this all, there are many scenes where the framing suggests this similarities to the viewer. For example, as Superman returns to earth from the nazi spaceship he positions himself like if he were crucified.

 When he decides to offer himself up he stands in front of an image of Christ. In fact, Clark is 33 during the main events of the movie.

I take retellings of the story of Jesus quite personal, because while there is nothing wrong with writing a character who imitates Jesus, both should be sufficiently distinct to avoid cringe and/or blasphemous comparisons and avoid telling the story of Christ in an irreverent or ridiculous manner. 

I believe Snyder went too far but still retained many important differences. People were waiting for the Messiah, while nobody expected Kal-el. Kal-el had a natural birth instead of a virgin birth, he was not sent by God, but by a creature, and his mission stays within tangible things. 

Kal-el does not come to preach an ancient religion, but convinced himself of generic "chose fweedom" and "trust humanity" messages he stole from Jor-el and a novus ordo priest. 

All of this leads to the next question:

Is the Man of Steel an Antichrist Figure in the Zack Snyder films?

My opinion is that this version of Superman is an imperfect antichrist figure, an imperfect antichrist analogy. Let me defend my position: 

Antchrist is someone who pretends to be Jesus to deceive the masses into accepting a false religion. Antichrist refers to an individual who will do this in the strongest manner, close to the end of times. 

Man of Steel is an antichrist figure in the sense that he is some sort of faith-in-humanity and freedom messiah. This was the intention of Jor-el who sent him, and eventually he agreed to do this. 

I believe Kal-El is sufficiently similar to Jesus to pretend to be Him (at least, in an allegorical manner), but their doctrinal differences are sufficient to set them both apart. In Man of Steel, this doctrines position Superman as a humanist-antichrist. 

There are however 3 reasons why this is imperfect and might not even be a correct interpretation of the movie: 

1: Kal-El isn't specifically similar to the antichrist as described in Scriptures. Had he been, he would have been jewish, would have explicitly claimed to be Jesus and would have asked people to worship him. He would also have more luciferian symbology, like the characters in the book series The Golden Compass. 

2: The movie is riddled with disjointed ideas, and there might be a legitimate way of interpreting this movie in a way contrary to what I believe. 

Is Captain Zod a Demiurg? 

The writer for the lefebvrist article argued that Captain Zod was a figure for the Demiurg, the evil creator from the gnostic religion. The gnostics believed the Demiurg stole power to create a world almost as evil at itself, which is the one in which we live in. 

The reason this is important is that some people interpret the Demiurg to be our God, the God of the Old Testament. This article claimed that Zod was the demiurg, who came from the heavens, and had a confrontation with Supie who would either be satan or antichrist. 

The problem with this article is that Zod is not a good figure for a demiurg. He never claims to be divine, but most importantly, he never participated in creating the world. Unlike accurate demiurg figures in fiction (like The Celestials in The Eternals or The Architect in The Matrix), he is not the creator of the world we live in. He is not even able of achieving omnipotence. 

Unlike the God of the Old Testament, Zod doesn't judge people based on a judgement of their character but on the power of their species. He doesn't come to impose a law and physical limitations, he just comes to destroy because he was programmed to perpetuate Kryptonians since he was conceived. 

A real parody of the God of the Old Testament would be King Magnifico, from the Disney movie Wish. Unlike Zod, he actually pretends to be a good person and look for the interests of his own people. However, his real motivation is power and he seeks to prevent the protagonist from becoming like him. This is similar to God punishing humans for attempting to be like him; the Tower of Babel and the Garden of Eden being prime examples. Zod is nothing like this. 

He is just a space nazi who hates people and wants a planet for himself and his fellow space nazis. Rather than representing God, Zod represents those racial supremacists who conspire against freedom and refuse to take the "leap of faith" in humanity that we are told Superman did. 

Conclusion 

It is likely that Zack Snyder wanted to tell his own analogy for the history of Jesus. Since Zack Snyder is not a fundamentalist, he reinterpreted and deformed the Messias to his own liking, making an imperfect antichrist figure. On the other hand, Zod is not a parody of God but yet another cinematic Hitler for the protagonist to kill. 

I do not want to do a temerarious judgement of this directors, and this might just be one of many internet theories. However, I consider the evidence is sufficient for this theory to be worth pointing out.

If anyone disagrees with this interpretation on the movie, let him post his arguments and we will listen to him. 

Disney's Discordian Renovation

Disney Parks have been in a bit of a rough shape. Financial flops in the box office and the corona lockdowns have greatly reduced the power of the company, and while the damage might have been exaggerated by some anti-woke slop channels online, it is clear that they are having problems. 

My personal favorite is the creepy Walt Disney animatronic that malfunctioned in front of the audience a few days ago. 

In an attempt to save the Parks, Disney has taken into their hands to exploit their fan's pockets, charging a lot for often underwhelming products. This is not just the fault of Disney and the executives, it is also the responsibility of people who are willing to pay so much money just because something belongs to Disney.

They are also planning plenty of renovations in their parks. One of them is the purpose of this post: Villains Land. 

You see, Magic Kingdom is divided in different areas, each themed to something. Disney executives decided to theme an entire new area of this park to none other than the villainous miscreants of their movies. The area will have, under completion, stores, shows and two rides. 

There is nothing more discordian than gloryfing characters who represent evil. Some of these antagonists are especially vicious. From Mephistophelean figures like Ursula and Maleficent to sexual predators like Frollo, projects like this are really telling about the state of American nihilism. 

One of these villains is quite literally, the devil. His name is Chernabog, some sort of demon that appears in Fantasía's "Night on the Bald Mountain" scene. 

Chernabog (aka Czernobog) is originally some sort of evil god from Slavic mythology, albeit this claim is contested within the historians. Will Disney dare to dedicate a ride to this entity? Probably not, but he is part of the official Disney Villains list and receives his very own merchandising.

Unsurprisingly, some of this villains reflect values quite different from Disney's values. We have Gaston, a macho man who harasses women; Governor Ratcliffe, a british colonialist who loves gold and hates native Americans; and Dr. Facilier, whose crime is being an African-American antagonist in an "anti-racist" world. 

It is clear that the company never intended these people to be role models, only antagonists for their protagonists to overcome. However, when you covet upon a star, things happen. Disney exploits the popularity of these characters with multiple items like board Games, merchandise, and now their own theme park region. 

I believe this is likely an attempt to pander to the alphabet crowd. You see, most of the male villains are effeminate and many homos identify with them. Other people think it's an attempt to compete with Universal, who recently opened a new park with a (similarly discordian) area themed to classical Halloween monsters. 

Whatever their specific intentions were, I found it quite interesting how Disney and akin companies can influence the culture with their amusement parks, and this is but one example of crony capitalism, Disney "storytelling" (aka cringe), and the state of judeo-american value$.
