they make funko pops of regular people now. did you know that? they don't sell them. just make enough of each person to fill a shipping container, then sink it into the pacific. you'll feel it, when it happens. you might not know that's what's happening, but you'll feel it

There is Benson who is a sort of Anti-Christ figure his gumball machine body is a representation of the temptations to destroy innovation. Now you might think that Mordecai and Rigby are the Christ figures but no, it's Skips. He is strong and lives forever.

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

Erika (head on Bobby Heenan's body), Piper (head on Jon Moxley's body), and Gef the Toking Mongoose (he is simply a mongoose with a bong) and the Pod Desk in front of an image of Darby Allin preparing to light a molotov cocktail while you see a blurry security guard charging into frame to stop him from doing an arson. The episode title "Darby Allin's Magical Murder Bag" is across the title card on the top.
