Jesus Christ: Dinosaur Hunter, Revisited.
Okay, Nick, I hope you're feeling up for some writing, stay with me on this one. Here's the synopsis of the new storyarc.

3000+ years from now, humanity as we know it has long since been wiped out and replaced by our technologically and scientifically advanced descendants. It is believed that nothing of our society has survived, until future archeologists uncover the ruins of a Blockbuster Video at a dig site. The only surviving relic is a DVD of Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ. Knowing nothing of Christianity, and hence why Jesus 'had to die for our sins', they were shocked and disgusted by the images of this man being tortured repeatedly. Using their science and technology, they decide to teleport him to the future, in order to spare him the pain and bloodshed of being crucified. Unfortunately, time travel is a tricky thing, even for the people of the future, and Jesus accidentally gets teleported 65 million years back in time, to the Triassic Period.
There he finds that his message of brotherhood is kind of meaningless when there are no other people, and he must fight to survive. He exists there for awhile, much akin to the original run of Conan the Barbarian (Or possibly the parody version, Cerebus the Aardvark). Battles. Holy Miracle Powers. Dinosaurs. Blood and Gore to rival Crucifixion.
Eventually, he wipes out the dinosaurs and makes the Earth a better place. He cultivates a beautiful garden and populates it with a man named Adam and a woman named Eve. Hence, we discover that Jesus is God, and that the entire human race's true father is none other than Mel Gibson...

This needs to be fleshed out, and filled up with good old American sarcasm, otherwise it may come off a bit too religious for my tastes. I dunno, this arc just sort of hit me. Comic book? Series of animated shorts? Waste of time?
Hit me up with ideas. I really have nothing better to do.
Love and Kisses,
Matty

ok this serves better the JC:DH, plus it works in the pointed-finger comedic angle with passion of... and mel gibson- so era-wise it works for us. i always wanted it to be sort of ridiculous pretension of a veneer of serious action and then undermine the whole thing with goofiness and sarcasm.

as for the medium, i don't think it has the same effect in comic book form like mark is yelling for, perhaps...but i think it serves itself better in an animated short form.

Okay, I like the comic book idea for it's ability to do a lot with very little art (comparitively), but I love the animation idea for two reasons which could come to define the series. Voice Acting and Theme Song. Besides, there's no reason we can't steal from the anime/manga tradition and cheat our way through most of the actual animation. Like not bothering to match the mouth animation to the voice, then just saying that the English is dubbed in from the original Aremaic. But this brings me to another issue. I see dialogue as a major comedy point in a series like this, but with Jesus being the only person on Earth, it's kind of moot. So why not have the dinosaurs talk? We'd have to walk a pretty thin line to avoid going 'too goofy', but that way we'd get around having Jesus carry conversations with a volleyball (although that might be funny for one episode). I dunno, I'm kind of swimming.

Ya, maybe talking dinos doesn't really work. Being short animation, we don't really have to pump it full of jokes like a sitcom anyway. The idea works much better under the premise that the whole episode is one big joke by it's very existence. I imagine Jesus as an action hero full of corny one liners anyway, example:
Standing over a dinosaur with large cross shaped gun, and speaking in a gruff voice, "Do you accept me as your personal Lord and Savior?"
It's funnier because a dinosaur doesn't understand these concepts.
Also, I imagine him having plenty of one-sided conversation with his flock of sheep.
I dunno, so many things to work out.
