🔥 The Chosen Series: How It Took Over!

The Chosen: Jesus and the Gang - A Divine Comedy In this age of streaming cancellations that hit harder than a breakup text, it's like finding a unicorn wearing roller skates when a show actually survives more than a season. But hold onto your halos, folks, because The Chosen is that very unicorn, prancing its way through the TV landscape like it owns the joint. And what's it about, you ask? Well, buckle up, because it's all about the man, the myth, the miracle worker himself, Jesus, and his ragtag bunch of disciples. That's right, even the Son of God had a crew, and boy, did they have some stories to tell! So there's this show, right? The Chosen, brought to you by the folks at Angel Studios, which sounds like a place where cherubs take coffee breaks between harp sessions. They managed to scrape up enough cash to fund a TV series about Jesus and the gang. And let me tell you, it's gained more followers than the guy upstairs himself. Reviewers are giving it that reluctant thumbs-up, while fans are binge-watching like they're trying to get into discipleship shape. Now, picture this: November 2022, Fathom Events throws a party at the local movie theaters, and who's the guest of honor? Yep, you guessed it — the first two episodes of The Chosen Season 3! It's like a biblical blockbuster, folks. And get this: it made more money than a bake sale at a ghost convention. Even the CW, the folks who usually air shows about superheroes in tights, decided to jump on the salvation train and picked up The Chosen. Move over, Superman, Jesus is in the house! But wait, it gets better. The show hits the good ol' linear TV, and 500,000 people tune in to see what the fuss is about. That's a lot of loaves and fishes, my friends. Sure, it's a smidge less than the 100 million global streamers, but hey, baby steps, right? Then there's this whole strike thing, like the plot of a sitcom episode gone wrong, and SAG gives The Chosen the golden ticket to keep filming its fourth season. It's like a divine intervention for TV drama. And oh, the characters! We've got Nicodemus, who's got religious leader vibes; Matthew, the tax collector who's also somewhere on the autism spectrum; Simon, the hot-tempered dude, and his bro Andrew, who's got brooding fisherman vibes. And let's not forget Mary Magdalene, who's battling addiction and alcoholism like they're her arch-nemeses. The show's got more drama than a soap opera, and I'm here for it. Now, when it comes to business and culture, it's like the Last Supper of complexity. Can you imagine portraying Jesus without offending anyone in today's world? It's like walking on water and hoping you won't sink, all while trying to keep the right-leaning fan base happy. But fear not, The Chosen is up for the challenge. They've got this magical formula of humanizing characters and making fans feel like they're in on the whole divine secret. But what's The Chosen all about? It's like a modern-day retelling of the greatest story ever told, straight from the Bible's highlight reel. It's all about Jesus and his adventures with the gang, based on those famous Gospels. You can stream it on Angel's website, Peacock, and even a fancy app. They've even got season one chilling on Netflix, like an unexpected cameo in your favorite show. Creator Dallas Jenkins, he's the big cheese behind this extravaganza, and he's on a mission to show Jesus in all his glory. He's all about that "accurate representation" jazz, but he's not sweating about who's tuning in. So, Angel Studios swoops in with bags of cash, like a biblical Brink's truck, and funds start pouring in. Season one makes it rain with $10 million, and they double down for seasons two and three. That's enough money to turn water into wine and then some! And there's a twist in the script: The Chosen wants to be real clear that while they're jazzing up history and art, they're still keeping it real. They've got this disclaimer at the beginning, like a "don't take this too seriously" memo. But let's face it, for some folks, fictionalizing the Bible is like borrowing your neighbor's lawnmower without asking — a seriously big deal. But this show doesn't just stop at divine drama. It's all about world-building, like a biblical version of SimCity. They're helping us understand the whole Middle East situation when Jesus was doing his thing. There's the Roman Empire, trying to keep it together while dealing with taxes and rebellions. Persecution and drama are like their bread and butter, and competing Jewish factions are throwing shade left and right. And here's the kicker: the characters aren't just your run-of-the-mill disciples. We've got Nicodemus, the religious VIP; Matthew, the tax guy with an extra sprinkle of uniqueness; Simon, who's basically the hotheaded dude in the squad; and Mary Magdalene, who's battling her own demons along with addiction. Oh, and let's not forget the two bros, Simon and Andrew, who are like the original sibling duo. But this show isn't just about miracles and fish-sharing. They're diving deep into the juicy stuff, like racial tension and prejudice, and they've got Jesus himself throwing shade at his own followers. And the disciples? They're dealing with everything from money problems to relationship drama. It's like a first-century soap opera, folks, complete with divine interventions. The thing that makes The Chosen stand out is that it's all about the characters. Sure, there are miracles and swooning vocals in the mix, but it's the gang that steals the show. They're like the Kardashians of the ancient world, but with more loaves and fewer contour kits. But here's the million-dollar question: what's the theology behind all this divine drama? Well, turns out it's a bit of a divine mystery itself. The show's got this sneaky way of not shoving theology down your throat. It's like, "Hey, we're diverse, but not too woke, okay?" And that's a tricky balance to pull off, like walking on water while juggling fish. But don't think The Chosen is all smooth sailing. There's been some drama off-screen too. They had this crew member sporting a Pride flag, and it was like the biblical version of a plot twist. Conservatives weren't too thrilled, and it was like a modern-day parable of tolerance and diversity. So, there you have it, folks. The Chosen, a divine comedy that's part historical drama, part soap opera, and all kinds of interesting. It's like your Sunday School class got a quirky makeover and turned into a binge-worthy TV show. Who knew biblical figures could be so relatable and entertaining? And with divine crowdfunding powers and some miracles along the way, The Chosen is making its mark on the TV landscape.

At the age of eight, Bruce Wayne witnessed the senselessly brutal shooting deaths of his parents. The mentally scarred child went into the care and guardianship of their loyal family butler, Alfred Pennyworth. Incited by the loss he suffered, the billionaire spent his young adulthood traveling the globe to learn an array of different fighting styles, languages, espionage, and every skill imaginable to forge an alter ego that would cripple the criminal underground of Gotham City. To the public he maintained the image of a rich playboy. The thugs and sociopaths who plagued his city, however, very quickly learned to fear him as the shadow lurking vigilante, Batman.

A few years into his career as, what Gotham City dubbed, the Dark Knight, Bruce unexpectedly gained a new family. When a night at the circus ended in the murders of the famous Flying Graysons, Bruce felt an instant connection with their orphaned son, nine-year-old Richard. He took the boy in as his ward and heir to the Wayne fortune. Not wanting his son to lose his sweet and spirited nature to his grief the way Bruce himself did, the billionaire trained Richard in crime fighting while offering him every opportunity for a normal childhood. When he became a teenager, Richard finally got the greenlight from his adoptive father to become his sidekick, Robin. The vigilante pair became known as Gotham’s Dynamic Duo.

Bruce acquired another protégé in the form of young Jason Todd, motherless with a criminal father who abandoned him. Not wanting Jason to turn out anything like his natural father, Bruce adopted and trained him. Now a full-blown hero in his own right as Nightwing, Richard happily relinquished the role of Robin to his new brother. During this time, little Tim Drake joined the Wayne household after surviving a car accident that instantly took his parents. Even with their individual tragedies in mind, the BatFamily did not know what darkness truly awaited them.

While out as Robin, Jason faced off against the Joker, who beat and killed him, leaving Batman to discover the boy’s body. Cementing his inability to save Jason as his greatest failure, everything about Bruce drastically altered even beyond what he experienced from his parents’ deaths. He fully embraced his rage-fueled creature-of-the-night persona, including expanding his weaponry to include firearms. He bred untold fear throughout Gotham’s underworld, implementing torture and disregarding the lives of violent offenders altogether. Those he did send to prison often went in wishing for the release of death.

Bruce’s anger brewed distrust and contempt for Superman, believing him to be an overpowered ticking time bomb. After they all discovered one another’s secret identities, the intervention of SuperWoman but fellow Earthling Lana Lang helped end the billionaire’s unfounded crusade against her fiancé. Lana related to Bruce as another orphan who lost her parents in the blink of an eye. Her revealing that her mother and father died in the meteor shower that brought Clark to Earth gave Bruce serious pause, especially Lana’s declaration that she would not trade her life with Clark and all the good he’s done for anything.

The mutual ally they found in Wonder Woman also made Bruce realize how harshly he had judged Clark and metahumans as a whole. Though he believed himself too far gone to comprehend emotions beyond pain and rage, Bruce developed feelings for the beautiful, charismatic, formidable Diana. Gaining a true friend in Clark, Bruce made the decision to fund Justice League Fellowship. Despite the strain in their relationship, Richard joined the team, hoping Diana and Clark could help his adoptive father regain some semblance of the man who raised him. Bruce gets along well with John Stewart, another seasoned soldier in the never-ending battle. John is the most supportive of some of Batman’s harsh methods, believing them necessary at times.

Between the currently 9-year-old Tim, Wayne Enterprises, and being Gotham’s sole caped crusader, Bruce is not as hands on with the JLF as Clark and Diana are. Despite Tim’s desire to become the next Robin someday, Bruce refuses. The unyielding agony of burying one child compels him to keep an eye on the teens of Young Justice Fellowship. He only agreed to their involvement to keep the super-powered youngsters structured and safe. Bruce’s protectiveness can come off as condescending towards Diana’s 13-year-old niece, Cassie/Wonder Girl due to her being only slightly younger than Jason when he was killed. Bruce looks out for Barry Allen/Flash while trying to use his influence to overturn his father’s murder conviction. With a stern but devoted father of his own at home, Virgil Hawkins/Static has the most patience for the billionaire and shares a comfortably amical dynamic with him.

Bruce’s dark past and the experiences that molded him can be detrimental when he becomes too dismissive of his team members and their issues. He also has a tendency to go solo all too often and acts without properly communicating with the others. Alfred continues trying to keep his surrogate son’s feet on the ground and frequently encourages Bruce to romantically pursue Diana. Clark, Lana, and Diana do well to remind the brusque Dark Knight that, on or off the field, he isn’t in the fight alone anymore.

Dealings between A’s

A Drabble between my DC OC ‘Adi’ and my (mostly) x-men OC ‘Anani/Ani’.

This is 100% more like the Adi i imagined in my head. i think that it also is like 90% a closer version of how i imagined Anani as well. 

though like mentioned they are a bit more lighthearted in this than they might be otherwise because: ’we feed off of each other’s positive energy’/emotions.

Mentions of Bart Allen as Impulse, Jaime Reyes as Blue Beetle, and Jason Todd as Red Hood. 

Also Implied Mentions of Starfire, Superboy, Superman, Black Canary, Quicksilver, and Nightcrawler.

“Adi” Anani yelled with a grin as her best friend turned and started floating as she beamed in return. “Ani!” Adi flew over to her and gave her a tight hug. “the soups here giving you trouble?” Anani asked with a smile as she pulled back enough to look Adi in the eyes. Adi gave a sad smile at the inside joke before replying “no more than usual. My genetic parentage was found but they weren’t completely happy.” 

Anani raised an eyebrow and waited for Adi to continue. “my ‘father’ was very angry at Cadmus while my ‘mother’ was mostly in shock. ‘father’ tried being kind but he and his genetic parent were lukewarm at best. ‘mother’ was kinder but you could tell it wasn’t something she had wanted.” Adi admitted. Anani looked rather unhappy. 

“it is understandable to be mad at someone else for this but you didn’t deserve that” Anani said with a deep frown. “are you certain it was you they were being lukewarm to? You are rather sensitive to any perceived slight” Anani commented tilting her head. She didn’t want Adi thinking she didn’t believe her nor did she want to make her feel like her emotions were invalid but she felt Adi needed to at least hear these things if only so she could work through her issues a bit. 

Adi sighed looking a mix between very sad and very angry. “they didn’t even notice Ani. They had just gotten me to react after not reacting for who knows how long and … they didn’t notice me slow down or stop as they were leading me… I make them uncomfortable… I am no better than an abomination to them.” Adi vented and covered her eyes as tears slipped out.

“oh Adi” Anani spoke softly pulling her friend close. “I doubt they think that and if they do then they obviously don’t deserve you. But have you even given them the chance to know you since then? Or have you with-held yourself to protect your heart from any possible pain?” Anani asked resting her chin on Adi’s shoulder.

“the wrongs you believe were done to you… have you ever asked them if they felt that way? Whether you like the answer or not… you can’t always believe that they will harm you or you will never live because you will see the pain as too much to bear” Anani spoke and knew that her friend might never agree. Adi was well known for holding a grudge and the fact that it was her parents made it all that much worse. 

A child rejected by those supposed to love them would likely forever struggle to love themselves or forgive the rejection even as the parent struggled to make amends. “I just… I wanted them to like me… I wanted them to care that I existed… but they don’t… I am just a burden to them. Making sure my powers don’t cause problems…” Adi said with angry tears.

“sending me off to some therapist to talk out my problems but never coming to hear it themselves…putting me on a team where no one really even bothers to get to know me beyond knowing where I might be of the most use…” Adi was shaking as she struggled not to start sobbing or lashing out. She didn’t want to hurt her friend though she knew Ani could protect herself. They had drifted to kneeling on the floor.

Anani pulled back and lightly ran her fingers through Adi’s hair. “you, my dear, feel things very intensely. I am feeling the need to intervene and maybe threaten some Rents” Anani said and smiled at the small teary smile pulling on Adi’s trembling lips. “you’re a dick” Adi muttered and Anani gasped in fake offense. 

“Actually, no I am not. I know where to find two though” she teased and laughed when Adi turned red in embarrassment. “Who taught you such language anyways?” Anani asked with a raised eyebrow and an smirk. “Red Hood” Adi said and started giggling. She fell back to sit on her behind and Anani did the same.

“Besides that apparent questionable person and the Rents, you have any friends?” Anani asked with her head tilting in question. “I am mostly acquaintances but I am kinda friends with Blue Beetle and Impulse” Adi said with a shy shrug. Anani smiled replying “only kinda? Well I am glad you have some sorta friends at least”. 

Adi stuck her tongue out muttering “you Butt! I’d have more if you stayed”. “you know well enough why I can’t stay. My boys would be lost without me” Anani with a sassy wink. Adi rolled her eyes. “How do you survive them? I can barely stand them for five minutes” Adi said sounding fondly exasperated. “It’s like herding cats” Anani admitted with a gleeful grin. 

“One of them even purrs. I just put the other in a force field bubble and he pouts so much but if I don’t then I put the force field around myself to avoid the speedy fingers taking my snacks” Anani laughed a bit and Adi supposed she couldn’t fault her friend as she looked so happy speaking about them. “I wish I could do that to Impulse. I lose so many snacks to that guy” Adi commented and Anani Laughed.

“I missed you. You make things better” Adi mumbled looking a bit nostalgic. “I keep things light, you mean? I joke myself hoarse around you and then go be a grump around those in the X-Men. I am surprised they haven’t called for an intervention” Anani commented with a lightly teasing tone. “I meant that I feel less bottled up or like I might explode” Adi replied looking as if she might be offended. Anani just grinned.

“I suck all your negative feelings out like a leech or something” Anani said and ruffled Adi’s hair. Adi pulled away and shook her head. “stop that, you menace” Adi gave a fake growl and laid back on her back.  “we feed off of each other’s positive energy and then have nothing left to share with anyone else.” Anani said in a fake serious voice. 

Adi grinned and rolled her eyes. “Okay Doctor Phil, what’s your diagnosis then” Adi asked and Anani used her hand to rub her chin before replying “well obviously we need to take a field trip. I am sure everyone would think you are an alien if they could see you like this”

Adi raised an eyebrow before commenting “Ani… Technically I am mostly an alien”. Anani felt a smile tug at her lips. They had just glanced at each other before they started busting up laughing which made Anani fall over. They spent more than a few minutes struggling to stop laughing only to glance at the other and start laughing all over again. 

Anani started jokingly whining about her ribs and stomach hurting while Adi was struggling to cover her nose to hide the occasional snort that embarrassed her when she laughed. Anani finally started calming down enough to add “but seriously Adi… you should introduce me to your team mates. Let them know there is someone they can call if they need help making you feel more like yourself. You take too much weight on your shoulders, Lady B”. 

Adi quieted and gave a little sigh before sitting up. “as long as you never speak that nickname in front of them…. I can only imagine them asking what it means.” Adi said with an over dramatic sigh. “I’d say it deals with either Ladybugs or Ladybirds. Could be worse like how I sometimes call you gingersnap or sweet pea or jellybean or peppermint P” Anani said with a shrug and a teasing wink. 

Adi only groaned and fell backwards to land on her back to hide her embarrassed smile. “you, Sir, shall be the death of me” Adi said and then started miming being stabbed to death. “Ha Ha very funny” Anani said with as straight a face as she could manage as she tried to not start laughing again.
