The first twenty minutes of a three hour episode is the only thing I can think about. Ankarna's design is so freaking incredible, I'm going to draw her and Cassandra too.

Jordan Peele: The Multiverse Theory

So going into this, I am not suggesting that Nope, Get Out, and Us take place in the same universe because, reasonably speaking, it is improbable that all events can happen one after another, especially in the case of Us's ending.

Instead, I find that the films all take place in a different universe (which is fitting because Peele was the host of the short-lived 2019 iteration of The Twilight Zone), but the one thing that connects them all is the divine.

I am saying that in the multiverse of Peele movies, God's one recurring plot is eradicating mankind for their perceived wickedness. As for what started it all? Well, it could be a variety of reasons such as him sending his son to act as an emissary only for him to be killed by mankind. Even before that, God had already performed mass extinction events on humans such as the flood.

However, every time in every universe where mankind grew gradually irredeemably evil, God would send calamities or plagues to wipe out the wicked. Now for the examples of where I would say God sent a calamity to destroy evil.

There is Chris from Peele's directorial debut Get Out. While Chris doesn't wipe out mankind or anything of that sort, he does take out a "great evil" in his universe: the Armitage family. As many know or may not, the Armitages appeared to be a normal family. Well, they had their odd quirks such as Dean having to constantly tell Chris that he would have voted for Obama a third time if he could. It's that classic "I'm so not racist" mindset that a lot of these progressive liberals attest to.

However, despite their claims, they secretly run an operation where they kidnap African Americans so they could harvest their bodies by putting a white person's brain into their bodies thus condemning them to the Sunken Place where they can only watch their bodies being operated against their consent. Chris would have become one of the victims of the surgical procedure, but he is able to escape and massacres each member of the Armitage family except for Rose who dies because the man her grandfather was piloting temporarily reclaimed control of his body.

The next indication is more obvious: in Us, Red claimed that she felt that she was being tested by God and was under the impression that he was directing her to lead a Tethered invasion on the surface world which by far is the most nearly effective of God's plans. Nearly every American citizen, except for the main family, of course, is slain by their doppelgangers who then form a long line in reference to the "Arms Across America" campaign. But who is to say the US was the only country that dabbled around in making doppelgangers?

So in what way were mankind proving themselves to be wicked yet again for God to initiate their destruction? A variety of reasons but, in particular, they committed idolatry by having their possessions be their "gods" such as when Mrs. Tyler was asking her smart house device to call the police though that ends badly for her. They also coveted what their neighbors wanted under the assumption that they were entitled to own bigger or better than the person next to them. And, of course, they had no care for the (literal) lower class. So the classic case of the haves vs. the have-nots.

Getting to Nope, there is the popular theory that Jean Jacket is an angel due to its resemblance to those biblically accurate angels like the Ophanim/Wheels (even though I more lean towards the idea that it is just an atmospheric jellyfish and/or alien being that another extraterrestrial race brought in). But for the sake of this argument, let's say that God did send JJ with the purpose of destroying humanity whose latest crime against the Almighty was an obsession with achieving the perfect spectacle. I am willing to say that even before JJ was used as a vessel for God's wrath, that was one of the reasons behind Gordy rampaging on the set.

Because mankind had grown desperate to do whatever is possible to make it big, that also includes treating animals with zero respect to their nature and likening them to living props there to give the paying folks a quick laugh. That would mean that the shoe in that scenario was being held up by a supernatural force likely as a means for Jupe to see it. For whatever reason, God felt like sparing him that day the most reasonable being that Jupe could use the massacre as a lesson on what NOT to do and hopefully not face his wrath.

Which we all know he fails by profiting off his tragedy and believing he was in tune with animals.

As for why God would specifically situate JJ in Hollywood? Well, think about all the rumors and allegations of deplorable stuff that happen in Hollywood ranging in different rates of escalation. Hollywood, at least as far as Peele is concerned, is no different from the likes of Sodom and Gomorrah, two towns destroyed by God in Genesis due to being a cesspool of corruption.

In particular, what the humans are being tried for is the lack of empathy when it came to screwing other people over for their betterment the most damning case being Jupe feeding OJ's horses to JJ. Jupe does this because he naively believes that he understood what he originally thought were aliens operating the spacecraft. However, because of his behavior, he instead loses favor with God and is deemed as "wicked" and sentenced to destruction inside of JJ.

Of course, JJ is killed at the end of Nope which does stop its rampage for the time being. However, this is merely just because God wills this with his anger being satiated. At least until another universe in the Peele multiverse does something that will curry his wrath once more.

saw a poll about whether you prefer corruption or redemption arcs and i realized that for me it's not really either, it's a distillation arc: when a character becomes the most intense version of what they could be, everything inessential falling away or being discarded so that only the core remains.

Jesus Died Twice on the Cross

There are different kinds of death mentioned in Scripture. Biblically, death means separation. Three major kinds of death are mentioned in Scripture, and these include: 1) spiritual death, which is separation from God in time (Gen 2:16-17; 3:1-7; Rom 5:12; 1 Cor 15:22; Eph 2:1-2; Col 2:13-14), 2) physical death, which is the separation of the human spirit from the body (Gen 35:18; Eccl 12:7; 2…

Have we tried other drinks at 3am to see if they improved or did God see what we had done with water and decide we had gone too far?

Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

God sees the blood on the frames of the Israelite doors and passes over them, not allowing the destroyer to go in. I find this wording interesting. From Genesis 4:23 onward, God has said that He will personally kill the firstborn. Yet, here we read about Him sending in or withholding a destroyer–a character some refer to as the Angel of Death or Reaper. Only one explanation exists, then, for the…

Are my ears going crazy, or do these two epic tracks sound kinda similar?

I should get an award for my restraint in not automatically blocking people who say things like "I hate paladins, they suck so much, they're the worst class bc their vibes are so bad" on my posts that even just mention paladins.

RIP that you and most people do not understand paladins as a class and do not understand that their narrative is not just "stick in the mud who loves being a cop", but I'm different and I think they're incredible and they're one of the classes with the best inherent narrative

RPG be like:

"You can be an elf or a dwarf! Or maybe a human with draconic ancestry! You can be a dream furry cat girlfriend or even a badass talking lizard! You can have horns, devil eyes, scales and tricolor hair! With edgy scars and try hard evil tattoos! You can express yourself and be anything you wanted!

What? You are asking for a fat body type? Now, now don't get yourself too excited, that's too much!"
