How can a movie have God be the one to save the day? And it not be a Deus ex Machina? Is that even possible? Aside from adaptations of Exodus. Like a disaster movie where the heroes tried, but humanity is doomed! Is that Jesus and a bunch of angels on white horses? Maybe God doesn't like doing Deus Ex Machinas.
I guess you could have God save the day without it being a Deus ex Machina by making God the protagonist. As for how there could be any tension in that case... well, maybe God is attending like a Gods' convention or a Gods' High School, where our world is like his graduation project. The antagonist would be an evil bully God or rival nerd God who wants to ruin his project by causing a preemptive apocalypse, and it'd be up to our God to stop it so he could win the Gods' Science fair and make his daddy proud or something... at least, that's one way.
Except there can only be one capital G author class God in Christianity(I'm a Christian). And for lowercase g class gods(random tidbit Elohim in Hebrew just refers to powerful beings in general, like angels and Physical Gods,Flying Bricks, Superweight 4 and above, I'd guess.), Thor? I wonder if any theologians have posited that God made the universe for fun?
What about a movie of what would happen if Christians who died immediately came back with Resurrection bodies? And based on some medieval speculation, think Flying Bricks. Hijinks ensue?
Heh. And they have tvtropes too! I can have fun with that hypothesis. Wonder what's with the idea that Christians can't have fun with hypotheses that wouldn't make sense in our worldview? Spoilsports. Though the Real Life page is pretty funny. If history is a story(Christian worldview), what would be the Climax? Easter? Would there ever be an ending? And would having everyone be resurrected mean no way humanity would ever go extinct?
It probably wouldn't do that well (Too religious for some folk, too heretical for the rest,) but maybe a movie where God is planning on destroying the world, but humanity convinces Them not to?
Fire, air, water, earth...legend has it that when these four elements are gathered, they will form the fifth element...boron.And it was attempted in Genesis as well. God said He was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness and Abraham kept trying to get Him not to by asking if he'd destroy them if there were still X amount of righteous people in the cities. God said He wouldn't and Abraham kept decreasing the number until all that was needed was 10 righteous men in the cities for them not to be destroyed.
Turns out they couldn't find ten.
Yep. He likes to do that. Equivalent of "losing" a fight with a toddler? What is it called when the only reason you beat the powerful entity was that he/she/it let you win? And as far as the post about the salvation war, if whoever made a movie of it wasn't in a contract with God, I don't think He'd care. I read the Tv Tropes page and the supernatural entities are nerfed and OOC to the extent of being completely different than the real versions. Maybe a deconstruction of the popular view of Heaven and Hell. How about a metastory about contrasting straw gods with God? Though what percentage of Christendom would go for something like that? How can I put a WMG that the new universe will have starships?

Doesn't Ragnarok feature zombie vikings? Because anything featuring zombie vikings would be hella fun.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?
