Genuinely delighted to see an anime do the "let's take this mythology and make it ten times more extreme and also stupid" to just... the bible

Quinn Angstrom
Record of Ragnarok just makes up its OWN version of what happened in the garden of eden

Quinn Angstrom
like what Mazinger did to every greek myth ever

Quinn Angstrom
in this version the serpent is an evil guy who FUCKS and BETRAYED EVE by FALSELY ACCUSING her of eating the apple because she FRIENDZONED him

lily!
i'm losing my mind

Quinn Angstrom
so she went to trial at the GREAT COURT OF THE GODS

Quinn Angstrom
you know, the hundreds of gods that were there, in Adam and Eve's backstory

lily!
where can i watch this

Quinn Angstrom
netflix

Quinn Angstrom
it's

Quinn Angstrom
UNBELIEVABLY stupid

Quinn Angstrom
and I'm ALL IN

MundersOWundus
To be fair, the Torah says they could have been there

MundersOWundus
It’s only by the time of Moses that G*d establishes that they’re the only god with jurisdiction over the Hebrew people

Quinn Angstrom
does the Torah say that they were having a phoenix wright courtroom battle over Eve's guilt until Adam busted in with a basket of apples from the tree, took one bite out of each one and spat it out, then the two of them flounced out of eden of their own will to make their own paradise on earth

Quinn Angstrom
because if it does, I might have to read it

MundersOWundus
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me”

Quinn Angstrom
anyway this is all backstory to set up a bareknuckle boxing match between Adam and Zeus

MundersOWundus
No, but I cannot wait to see an official rabbinical opinion on it given the halacha on vampire kashrut

Quinn Angstrom
I would fucking love to see a rabbinical opinion on Adam's backstory in the anime Record of Ragnarok

MundersOWundus
I’ll see what I can do

Quinn Angstrom
the thing I keep thinking about in the backstory as presented is that

Quinn Angstrom
nobody ate the fucking apple

Quinn Angstrom
how did we get knowledge of good and evil

Quinn Angstrom
Adam took bites but he spat them all out

MundersOWundus
the Stupid Heresy

MundersOWundus
no one ate the knowledge fruit, everyone's an idiot

Wild Child
nobody knows what good and evil really are and that's why we're so fucked up
