Superman's Just Been Killed at the Box Office

[ChloeTzang]

Not where, but when.

Probably in the Garden of Eden, but not long after Adam and Eve were deported for picking fruit, like future immigrants would be doing.

Picking fruit? Eve ATE it!!!!! Theft!!!! Deport.

Thay said, Eve in the bible is basically the Summerian mother goddess Ninhursag - one of her names was 'mother of all children'. The Hebrew name of the first woman is Hawwah - a name linked to the verbal root "To make live' - hayah - which itself is an Akkadian word. "Adam named his wife Hawwah because she was "the Mother of All the Living". The same title used for Ninhursag.

Earlier in Genesis, Eve is created nor from clay, like Adam, but from the rib of Man. There's a parallel here with the Sumerian paradise myth - this provides an explanation for the strange tale of woman being created from the rib of man. In the Sumerian verion, Enki (Jahweh) is cursed by Ninhursag for eating forbidden plants growing in paradise. Enki's health begins to fail and when the other gods realize he is dying, they persuade Ninhursag to relent and she creates a goddess callled Ninti to cure his failing bones. "My brother Enki, what hurts you? My rib hurts me. To the goddess Ninti (Lady of the Rib) I, Ninhursag, have given birth for you."

The word for rib in Sumerian is "ti" which is also the Sumerian verb "to make live," So the Sumerian author of the myth is using a pun to equate the "Lady of the Rib" with the "Lady who makes Live" (Ninti) - that is, the goddress who brings back to life. The author of Genesis when he adapated the Sumeran myth to fit it into the bible was clealy unaware of the fact that the Sumerian tale involved a play on words and simply translated "ti" as rib. thus, Eve is created from a rib because there is no similarity between the Hebrew word for rib (tsalah) and "to make live" (hayah) so the pun is lost. What remains is the epithet "Mother of all the living" which is the main epiteht for the mother goddess, Ninhursag. It seems then, that Eve began her existence as a goddess, but because of the emergence of monotheism, she necomes humanized while retaining the title "Mother of all the living" but demoted to a role as wife the the first man.

So Eve is Ninhursag, and she has a daughter, Innana, who was the Sumerian goddess of sex. The Sumerian hymn Inanna and Utu contains an etiological myth describing how Inanna became the goddess of sex. At the beginning of the hymn, Inanna knows nothing of sex, so she begs her brother Utu to take her to Kur (the Sumerian underworld), so that she may taste the fruit of a tree that grows there, which will reveal to her all the secrets of sex. Utu complies and, in Kur, Inanna tastes the fruit and becomes knowledgeable. The hymn employs the same motif found in the myth of Enki and Ninhursag and in the later Biblical story of Adam and Eve - and we do know that the old testament lifts a lot from the old Sumerian religion.

The parallels between the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis. and the fashioning of humanity in the Sumerian Creation Epic are too close for any other conclusion that that they originate from the same source, lendimg credence to this.

Wildly off topic but quite fascimating when we see that Genesis and the Jewish an Christian religions trace their roots back to the Sumerian religion - and even Jahweh is in point of fact, the Sumerian god Enki.

So when you trot of to church and pray to the Lord, you're actually praying to the old Sumerian God, Enki.

Don't believe me?

"Moses then said to God, Look, if I go to the Israelites and say to them, The god of your ancestors has sent me to you" and they say to me, what is his name, who am I to tell them? God said to Moses, "I am who I am." (Exodus).

The Sumerian god Enki was called "Ea" in Akkadian, vocalized as Eya. So did God really say to Moses, "I am who I am." Nope, it's a failure in translation. There's a simple explanation. God simply replied "Eyah asher Eyah" - the name of Ea in West Semite (Hebrew) form. So, what was said was "I am (Eyah) (the one) who is called Eyah (Ea) - another of those failures to interpret correctly from the source documents. So what wshould have been said was "Eyah (Enki) has sent me to you."

Now "Eyah" is simply "Ya" in the hypocoristic form of the name Yahweh - so the Summerian Enki / Akkadian Ea is one and the same as the God of Moses.

So next Sunday, let us all head of to Church and worship Enki, in a great tradition that stretches back to the dawn of human history. LOL

This is one of my hobbies. Linguistics. LOL

Hollywood hates America so much, they made Superman a middling, non-athletic, nobody, unattractive, unknown actor whose sole qualification is that he is white (though Jewish; at least the former ) since no one - and I mean, no one - will stand for a POC Superman. And bragging about making it about immigration is the cherry on top.
I'll pass.

Former Superman and MAGA nut, Dean Tanaka, thinks that Superman is too woke about immigrants.

I looked it up.

I read "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" a few years ago and learned a lot about the Jewish writers who created the superheros. It was a hard read for various reasons, but it holds true.

And the "Christians" got everything even moar twisted - and then we have the Muslims…

 

[ChloeTzang]

And the "Christians" got everything even moar twisted - and then we have the Muslims…

Ohhhhh Christianity just added a whole new layer of rituals adopted from other religions, along with ritual cannnibalism yum yum

And the Muslims added pedophilia, ritual lying and mass murder.

But it's still Enki LOL

What I do find fascinating is that here we have religious rituals whose lineage and origins go back to the dawn of human history. Enki was one of the Anunnaki, who seem to date back to before the end of the last ice age, more or less 8000 years ago? In some, but not all, versions of the Sumerian King List, Eridu is the first of five cities where kingship was received before a flood came over the land. So before NOah's flood, which is associated with the end of the last ice age when sea levels rose rapidly.

Enki was the city god of Eridu, the earliest city in southern Mesopotamia and perhaps the first city in the world. He's thought to have founded the city., so here we go, "God" is actually the dude who founded Eridu, way back when before the end of the last ice age and we still worship him worldwide. THAT is an epitaph indeed..

Hollywood hates America so much, they made Superman a middling, non-athletic, nobody, unattractive, unknown actor whose sole qualification is that he is white (though Jewish; at least the former ) since no one - and I mean, no one - will stand for a POC Superman. And bragging about making it about immigration is the cherry on top.
I'll pass.

Perfect example of mindless MAGA cancel culture. Thank you for the demonstration.

Sean Gunn's just done a Rachel Zeigler and Snow White'd Superman. Didn't those bozos at Warner write a STFU clause into his contract? LOL

‘Superman’ Just Set A Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score Record

Superman currently has an 85% critic score and a sky-high 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. That 95% is above second place, Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut, which has a 92% and an army of Snyder superfans who were certainly going to score it high. Whether you want to consider Justice League a “Superman movie” is up for debate. That’s sort of like considering four Avengers movies “Thor movies” or “Iron Man movies,” and I’m not sure it counts, though it may be the case the audience score dips below that in the future.

[Vetteman]

This is the only Superman movie real Americans want to see.

 

[OralAllOver]

Ugh. Why can’t we just have movies without all the woke preachy nonsense? But they’ll pay the price. Releasing a Superman movie should be like minting money. Unless of course you sabotage yourself like this.

watch a Dirty Harry flick, you'll be thrilled
btw, Hollywood is about MONEY

skillfully or not, they aim to please

86 means 'throw out', it comes from kitchen staff throwing out waste food and doormen throwing out unruly customers. Only poorly educated MAGAts pretend that it means 'shoot'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)

Fun bump!

[This thread] should age well. *sarcasm*

Let us see.

LOL - there's no "let us see". Anyone with knowledge of the film industry (and half a brain) could see cry-woke MAGA incels like you would be no match for Superman.

Your thread is officially a hilarious fail - and it's gonna get even worse.

‘Superman’ Soaring To $21M+ In Previews: Best Year-to-Date

[MajorRewrite]

Gunn mentioned immigrants and the MAGA sheep instantly exploded in outrage.

It’s funny, the MAGA sheep used to pretend they supported immigration and only opposed illegal immigration. Now they’ve dropped the pretense and openly oppose all brown people.

But white immigrants from South Africa are celebrated by MAGA sheep. Naturally.

Oh, I don't mind at all if it is - it sparked off a whole bunch of posts, some of them really good.
