C [The Light] on youtube did this superhero intro. I thought I’d do a short clip on it, with brief comments. I often feel like Dr. Banner here, always angry, but able to control my rage enough to become the Hulk at will.
C [The Light] seems to have tapped into a key thing about story drama that I understand very well. He talks about Gnostic Sophia often, occasionally mentioning Christ, but I liked his overlay of Sophia and Christ on some of the superheros in the above clip.
Indeed, often the good guys in movies are viewed as SophiaChristos and the bad guys are envisioned to be the Archons. Sometimes a bad character becomes good and represents BOTH SophiaChristos and Archons at the same time.
When it comes to stories, our subconscious projects onto the characters we most relate to. Understand your own mind and you will understand the nature of reality and also come to understand what the fuck on earth is happening.
