TAS-Magicks of Megas-Tu

[kkozoriz1]

Since this episode is depicting a "deity" of sorts, (Pan or Lucifer or whatever...) I was surprised that the anti-theists didn't go all jihad on it and demand it be pulled and suppressed. Supernatural subjects scare them somethin' fierce...

Actually, by definition, the only ones scared and concerned about the supernatural are theists...

Well theist already know about supernatural beings like Lucifer (who does scare us), now depicting him as a okay kind of guy? That's where the concern comes in.

Maybe in the next JJtrek movie, we can re-boot Magicks of Megas-Tu, except the main character of Lucien instead of being satan can be a werewolf, and Kirk can be a vampire.

(if you never saw the movie Underworld, never mind)

.

I don't know about that. God of the old testament is a fairly ornery sort while in the New Testament he's an okay kind of guy. God seems to have a bigger body count than Lucifer does.

Magicks of Megas-Tu presents gods and supernatural beings in much the same way that TOS portrayed Apollo.

Uh? I was pointing out that, by definition, supernatural subjects do not scare people who do not believe in the supernatural to begin with.

I've seen Underworld but I fail to see the the similarity.

I spent several hours trying to convince the born-again Christian mother of a four year old boy that his Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle action figures were not introducing him to Satanism. She compared them to the rock group "KISS" (aka "Knights in Satan's Service", of course.) She didn't believe me that the original Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle comic strip had its roots in parody, that it was inspired by a brief scene in an early (was it a "Daredevil"?) comic, where a kid lost four pet turtles down a drain. Nothing I said convinced her.

The kid "decided on his own that the toys were evil and he cut their heads off and threw them away".

Mmmm.

Yeah, nothing says peace-loving like four beheadings....

The Daredevil connection was that the same canister of radioactive material that gave Matt Murdock his powers, along with blinding him, also knocked some kid's turtles down the sewer drain and irradiated those turtles.

When Eastman and Laird pitched their concept to Marvel Editor-In-Chief Jim Shooter, he rejected it as "too amateurish."

Man, I bet they were kicking themselves over that one when TMNT was the biggest thing around in the late '80s/early '90s.
