The book of Mormon is more like the Jewish Adventures Holiday Special

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

..... .... .... ....

Holiday special wasn't that bad. I mean, it deserved Lucas doing his hardest to purge from existence, but, it wasn't that bad. Well, lets just say you gotta give SW:Holiday Special the MST3K treatment.

it deserved Lucas doing his hardest to purge from existence

Perhaps it does, but since Lucas allowed it to happen, it must never be forgotten.

The one that the fanbase doesn't like discussing with outsiders.

[-] bignate31@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago

This would be much better if you weren't mixing up Mormonism and Scientology. maybe the 4th would be "The Rise of American Jesus"?

You're halfway correct: Mormonism is filled with sci-fi bullshit (it's quite a modern religion, which is why you call it "sci-fi" and not "fantasy"). But The Book of Mormon is not. It's just a story of Jesus hanging with some Americans

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 16 points 8 months ago

How about: "Jesus goes to America"

Or "Jesus, the American Holiday special"

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I figured 4th would be from bahai, at least it's my understanding that they believe in a prophet that was here after Islam. 5th would be Mormonism.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

Or it could be Seventh Day Adventist. They believe Jesus will arrive in a spaceship.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 28 points 8 months ago

Each one just fucking re-cons the fuck out of the previous ones.

Unreadable.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

The nuns in my school told me the old testament was the jwish book then I discovered the tora and was very confused

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 8 months ago

Which one is the director's cut?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

The Gnostics and Enoch. Usually only available in the Greek market.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

the director don't even know he is being credited lol

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Mormons are like the prequel fans of Christianity

[-] 3rdwrldbathhaus@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

This is a very /r/atheism way of looking at it i love it

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
[-] 3rdwrldbathhaus@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Right right,, i just i mean i assume a person who likens lots of things to star wars is more likely to be a redditor than a lemmy user i guess. Maybe some of those guys are here thatd be kinda interesting

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

I like the prequel and am offended... I guess it is working as intended

[-] shalva97@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

My dad is keeping 3 copies of second season, but doesn't plan to read it

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 17 points 8 months ago

Jewish adventures is really just a rehash of Egyptian adventures and zoroastrian adventures.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Proto Indo-European Adventures and Other Silly Stories.

[-] verdantbanana@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

but for a new generation

remakes make the content relevant to modern audiences

[-] S_204@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

The first one spends half of the time setting the scene of whose kid is whose and the rest is just fucking and fighting.

Michael Bay but more believable.

[-] sincle354@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

So is scientology Spaceballs? Or Galaxy Quest? I suggest the second one because it's a riff of Star Trek and... well, I don't know WHAT scientology is trying to rip off.

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 8 months ago

I don't know WHAT scientology is trying to rip off

Their followers

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 10 points 8 months ago

Scientology is Battlefield Earth

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Scientology is like if they started selling MLM merch.

Hubbard more or less said "if you want to get rich, start a religion."

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I think Scientology was its own thing but the production company realized that if they could attach it to a known brand it would have a bigger audience.

Like Lawnmowerman, The Joker, Starship Troopers.

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Revenge of Muhammad retconned Return of the Jew. Revenge of Muhammed describes that baby Jesus was already able to use the Force. Which was never mentioned in Return of the Jew. I heard that the writers of Return of the Jew also explicitly scrapped that out of the story. Why did they put it back in?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Something something power of legend something mitcholorians

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

What's the prequel, Rise of Ra?

[-] rkk@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago
[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol -1 points 8 months ago

In the next one they gotta be politically correct and make a black-hispanic woman play Jesus

[-] shalva97@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

and she will be gay

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I mean casting someone like Mel Gibson is more about 'political correctness' than historical accuracy too; conservatives love their blue eyes white Jesus.
