    When they’re both Christians, Jesus just picks his favorite. If you lose you know that you’re not jesus’s favorite. Sorry that’s just the way it is. Loser.

      ChatGPT spat this out.

      It all began with two children on Earth, both eyes squeezed shut, hands folded tightly in prayer. One was Lucy, a ten-year-old with a sharp tongue and an encyclopedic knowledge of words. The other was Max, a quiet but determined boy who practiced his spelling with such focus that every letter felt like a victory.

      Each child prayed the same thing: Please, God, let me win the spelling bee.

      And God heard. But not just God—Archangels Gabriel and Michael did, too.

      “Lucy’s the one,” Gabriel said, convinced. “She’s got skill, and she practices every day. Max’s heart is good, but Lucy deserves the win.”

      Michael shook his head, wings bristling. “Max has worked twice as hard. He might not have Lucy’s natural talent, but his devotion should be rewarded.”

      God sighed. “Then perhaps both should win,” He suggested gently.

      Gabriel and Michael looked horrified.

      “There can only be one winner,” Gabriel insisted. “Lucy!”

      “Max!” countered Michael.

      The disagreement escalated, and soon the pearly gates rang with the clash of heaven’s most loyal warriors. Thunder crackled, stars tilted in their orbits, and halos slipped crookedly from heads. An entire chorus of angels divided into factions: Team Lucy versus Team Max.

      As the battle waged on, God watched from His throne, bemused, until He decided enough was enough.

      He raised one hand, and instantly the clouds of battle cleared, silence swept across the heavens, and every angel dropped their weapon, ashamed.

      “Whoever wins,” God said, “will do so by their own merit. Do not wage war over spelling bees.”

      And so, peace returned to Heaven, and on Earth, Lucy and Max faced off at the spelling bee.

      In the end, neither won. They both missed a letter and went home with heads high but humbled. And in Heaven, a truce was called—but Gabriel and Michael couldn’t help but exchange a final glance.

      “Next time,” Michael whispered, “I’m praying to win.”

      Edit: If you downvote this, tell me why.

    There’s no fucking way a human zombie pacifist Jew would be able to take on a 2-ton humanoid elephant god with six arms and wields weapons 1 v 1.

    I would love for Marvel to make this movie.

    I mean, the MCU is pretty clearly burnt out, and I wouldn’t trust DC to make a movie worth watching.

      I am someone who hasn’t seen a DC movie since Dark Knight Returns, and who has only seen the Sam Reimi Trilogy and Amazing Spider-man 1 and 2. Is the MCU really as good as people say it is? The trailers I’ve seen just make them seem like mindless action films.

        They aren’t uniformly good, but the median quality is higher than DC.

        To be clear, I’m only talking about the Infinity arc storyline, which terminates at End-Game. Nothing worthwhile after that.
