There’s this beautiful irony where there is a litany of fiction revolving around the concept of characters rebelling against “god” in a vague sense. Sometimes it’s the judeo-Christian god but that’s kinda not the point. The “god” is often times a metaphor for just some greater force.
Fate. Capitalism. Racism. Tyranny. The entropy of the universe.
And that’s all well and good. It’s a good deconstructionist view of the human condition. Where the characters are a stand in for the audiences frustration against these greater societal and universal forces.
The irony comes in when real people are given the drivers seat of fictional worlds they are essentially the gods of…they are exactly the same as those fictional gods other stories criticize
