Angels VS The Flash Crossover Event

So we watched The Flash crossover event last night and laughed the whole time:

“Barry, we’re not going to follow you because you changed history, EVEN THOUGH ALIENS ARE ABOUT TO DESTROY THE EARTH.”

LAME.

“Do you like me? You know…LIKE me? Do you want to mate with me?!” Supergirl asks a man the night before, acting like a 12 year old girl.
LAME.

Hawkgirl, the only cool hero from Legends, and the only one who PHYSICALLY looks like something other than a human in a geeky costume, with her cool wings, wasn’t even on it.

LAME.

And they sent out a bunch of people with NO super powers, who just fight (Arrow’s team and the Legends blond and guy who worked with Freeze) to combat the aliens.

LAME.

WHILE keeping in the lab two of the COOLEST people with powers, Cicso and Kaitlyn Snow.

LAME.

And making Wally give in to his you-know-what of a sister, so HE, TOO, doesn’t use his powers until the end.
LAME.

And then the writers don’t even have enough guts to write Wally lines where he stands up to his dad and overbearing sis when they berate him for saving everyone.

SO LAME.

The whole time I was like, “C’mon, Wally! Stand up to that sister of yours! Don’t let her talk to you that way, she’s not your mom! You’re over 18, be a man!”

I said to Kevin, “This is so lame, they should make a realistic show about ANGELS, an angel could beat ANY superhero any day of the week. I mean, look at Supergirl, with her goofy purple costume, an angel is WAY more powerful than she is, and visually looks cooler, with the flaming sword, fiery wings, gold shoes, white clothes, and they’re all handsome. Beautiful, in a handsome way.”

Since an angel can kill 185,000 people in one night (per the Bible), that makes them way more powerful than Supergirl, and better looking, their look, visually, they’re perfect (since they never sinned), so all of them are gorgeous, no wrinkles, hooked noses, weak chins, etc. RULE NUMBER ONE OF TV: No one wants to look at an ugly face. So, all the angels would be blond, masculine, and handsome, in a perfect looking way.

Then, when The Curse of Oak Island came on afterward, I was like, “The first four minutes of this is better than the whole hour of The Flash, the whole two hours of The Flash and Supergirl combined!” I said, laughing. “All of the shows with angels make them out to be dirt-bags, like Supernatural, or that John Travolta movie and the Si-Fi show from last year where the 'angels' possess people, and try to kill humans. Or they make them femmes, like Touched by an Angel.”

Kevin’s first book, barthpenn@heaven.org, about an angel, was scouted by Hollywood, so he could write a show to do angels justice. Before H'wood looked at it we started to make an indie movie based on it, IM, and were gaining some serious traction, the most we've ever had, people like Kenny Logins and the late Davy Jones, from The Monkees, volunteered to do angel voices.

But the devil took us out.

Gave us a distraction that played upon our weaknesses–a TV show produced by a Christian station, based on our kid’s characters–to tempt us that it would open doors.

But that was years ago and now God has taught us about spiritual warfare. He now fights our battles (“The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” - Exodus 14:14). That real angel show is coming and will teach the world what a piece of trash Satan is when you have the Lord Jesus Christ inside you. He is nothing but the slime from a slug under your shoe when the Omnipotent God lives in you.

“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” – Romans 16:20a

“For it is written:

‘As I live, says the LORD,

Every knee shall bow to Me,

And every tongue shall confess to God.’” – Romans 14:11 (emphasis added)

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on Earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” – Philippians 2:9-11 (emphasis added)
