Is he seriously implying that pop culture should, or has, replaced the Church in Western civilisation?

He really believes it will that the Joke from Futurama about Star Trek becoming an actual religion will happen with Superheroes or at the very least they'll replace Greek Mythology.

The Chinese take out in ghost busters represents fatalism and the spiritual nature of man reaching out to the stars and asking why to deadening silence. Hark, the drunken noodles lo' proselytize the void by causing Bill Murray to void his bowels in an unfeeling muddle.

P.s I'm super smart and you should respect me because my views on children's media is very enlightening. Also, I moviebob have AIDS.

If Moviebob had AIDS, that would imply he's actually had sex.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Is Bob saying that Mickey Mouse is a god?

Yes. And in a metaphorical sense, he's right.

... which is terrifying on multiple levels.

 

[Totally Awesome]

He could always get AIDS from a dirty needle. I wonder what it would take to get him on drugs.

 

[Captain Marvelous]

I suspect even TOS is too high brow for Bob, given how it's clear he never took any of its messages to heart.

I'm guessing the only stuff he actually remembered was the cool spaceships and fight scenes. He probably doesn't even get why Kirk spared the Gorn's life in that one episode.

Going outside.

This is doubly hilarious since Mr Parsons was obsessed with young people's things despite being a middle-aged man.

Remind you of anyone?

He really believes it will that the Joke from Futurama about Star Trek becoming an actual religion will happen with Superheroes or at the very least they'll replace Greek Mythology.

What people like that don't realise is that there was no one unified ”canon” of Greek or Roman polytheism in the same way that there's a canon of Scripture, for instance. If you were an ethnic Greek living in Upper Egypt, for instance, you'd have worshipped a different set of gods from a fellow Greek who lived in the Bosporan Kingdom, Greece proper, or maybe even Alexandria.

The closest comparison I can think of is how West African polytheism varied from place to place within West Africa despite being, broadly speaking, based around the same faith, and how it could adapt to Christian or Islamic rule by incorporating bits of Catholicism or Islam into its rituals, in the same way that Greek or Roman pagans would worship the local gods in addition to the twelve Olympians.

Is Bob coming home to Rome or what?

If so, this may be the first time he's actually been based.

 

[Kyria the Great]

Not even Asimov, some 40K is good enough. A universe in which sentient AIs are banned because they determine in a matter of seconds that in order to solve all the problems of the universe, everything must die and they will embark in a quest to purge all life in the galaxy.

That's why AIs are capped by merging them with humans, therefore creating "servitors", which are lobotomized AIs controlled by an almost lobotomized human because everyone learned from the Rebellion of the men of Iron that you shouldn't trust machines.

Well it is either that, or that the AI is then corrupted by the Ruinous Powers due to the sheer power the AI has. Though Bob would fancy himself a mad genius in a Tzeentchian cult, when in reality he would be the chod sent to soak up artillery fire while the true brilliant cultists laugh at the amusement of the spectical

Shape the drugs into a mushroom from Mario Brothers and he'd down them in a second.

looks like Bob got into the thesaurus again. seriously, this reads like if you fed a bot all edgy reddit r/atheism posts and turned the sperg variable up to 11

I have students that barely speak English who can make far more profound and logical statements than him. I'm also damn sure that politics had a more profound effect on civilization in the last century.

Is he seriously implying that pop culture should, or has, replaced the Church in Western civilisation?

Yes, he absolutely does want that. He wanted all film releases to be geek related to the exclusion of everything else, so why not take the next step and have nerd shit take over religion?

That is unfair to Parson! For one, he had sex. Secondly? He was an active member of society and helped around the building. Thirdly, he was a nice chap. Dim witted but not malice like Bob.

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

At least he admits that, to him, capeshit trumps reality, and that only the goddess Black Widow can move him out of his basement.

I mean, the Justice League thematically resembles the Greek Pantheon.

Superman = Zeus
Batman = Hades
Wonder Woman = Athena (I know Hera is the top Goddess of the Olympians, but Diana is closer to Athena in temperament.)
Aquaman = Poseidon
Flash = Hermes
Green Lantern = Apollo
Green Arrow = Artemis
Cyborg = Hephaestus
Hawkman = Ares (Perhaps, given how he is portrayed as aggressive in the comics and uses ancient weapons.)
Plastic Man = Dionysus

Not a perfect 1:1 comparison. However, no rational person would actually worship superheroes, which is why Bob make the MCU the centre of his pitiful existence.

 

[Red Hood]

He already abuses alcohol, what I doubt is the ability of a needle to get through the fat layer to a vein.

That could actually be a compelling basis for an Elseworlds (granted one would have to create a Greek goddess of fishnet stockings to accomodate Black Canary). Were I working for DC I'd hire you in a second to flesh out that idea, but no, more YA crap aimed to impress cat ladies that don't buy comics.

It's not to say that capeshit has never been able to deliver anything meaningful. You could make arguments for it as a continuation of older mythological traditions, at least when it's at its best. But Blob wants capeshit to replace the past rather than reframe and reflect it, so he'll use comics as a cultural kiddiepool rather than let it point him towards the really worthwhile stuff.

I read that article the other day. What a bunch of nonsense.

How the fuck does this writer even know so much about this "Muncher" character? Did he see the movie?

And, Syme (said retard) was proud his kids did it because it meant they were being perfect citizens.

If we were somehow able to create the high-futurist world Bob wants, and be there when the Powers That Be put him on trial for being Obsolete and are about to sentence him to being rendered into rocket fuel, not only would he not protest, not only would he not learn, he would, like Syme, confess to how PROUD he was to sacrifice himself to advance the Superior Future....

The level of self-denial people like him possess let them rationalize away ANYTHING as not their fault.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

It was Mr Parsons, not Syme.

 

[TowinKarz]

Right, my bad, Syme was the guy working on the next-edition Newspeak dictionary who Winston realizes, as a person who UNDERSTANDS how the Party propaganda apparatus works and what it's motivation for doing things are, is too smart to be allowed to live and predicts that one day, he'll just be vaporized... and he is......

-Even though he's 100% loyal to them, his capacity to think beyond the sloganeering means he might question the regime someday, and the mere possibility of that is a risk the Party won't take. The essence of thoughtcrime: the ability to disagree, merely conceiving of it, is the crime, not if you actually take any steps toward making your disagreement heard. To think outside the society-enforced box is forbidden, just like modern day SJW's and Bob... to merely mention "Hitler" , even if the context was " Hitler was wrong " puts you on the shitlist for having even spoken the NAME of something bad, because like The Party, to speak it's name is to show you understand it, and if you understand it, you might support it, and we can't have that....
