WOTM: Not A Hero
Some time during the last forty years of Superhero movies, I began to ask myself questions about heroism. What became clear to me is that neither Superman, nor Jesus are what I would call, "heroes." Superman can be forgiven. Jesus cannot.
Thanks again for your continued support. I want to take a minute here to get all of you to send out good energy to the Universe on my behalf. Eleven years ago, before we signed with Sony, we met with the head of Sony Latin America who really loved Mr. Deity. Well, he is with a new company and is now partnered with the creator of "Jane The Virgin." Tomorrow we meet to discuss the possibility of a Mr. Deity half-hour sitcom. It seems that the timing might be better now, and certainly, there are more venues willing to fund "risky" projects like Mr. D. I will update you all as I learn more. But for now, this is just for Patrons. Keep it under your hat. Thanks again!!! B

Which leads one to wonder what Jesus was doing for the 30 years or so leading up to his "mission." Trapped in a human body for 30 years with nothing to do or learn? And this was a guy who had already demonstrated that he could make a full grown adult human male out of mud. Kinda seems like a story, a poor one at that.
Great news Brian, best of luck
It's amazes me that, in the 21st century, people still can't see through the con. Pay for our sins? In the first place, the whole idea is the same old "there's something wrong with YOU" crock of caca exposed in your previous episode on Mormondumb and its new Profit, Russell Nelson. Ah, but you're in luck! Religions have the snake oil to fix your problem! Pfffft. In the second place, just for argument's sake, let's pretend that my "sins" have to be paid for. What kind of selfish asshole would I be to allow someone else pay for them? I have to confess, however, that I did like one superhero movie, "The Incredibles," for its satire on current society, e.g., "It's not a 'graduation': he's moving from the 4th grade to the 5th grade." Hahahaha! Sooooo true.
The Incredibles is one of my favorites. Also really loved “Bolt.” Great filmmaking!!! And I’m doing a WOTM about how religion is the creator of negging.
I would watch the hell out of a Mr. Deity sitcom... get it? Get it? Is there a spot open for a writer, 'cause I got millions of these.
Nicely done, once again. Concise and insightful as always. Have you given a thought to releasing any of your music in any format to patrons? (Meaning digital download, sheet music, etc)
I haven’t. Most of the pieces i’ve written for the show over the years isn’t finished. Just needed thirty seconds or less.
Whoa, good luck on the sitcom!
