Remember: the challenge here is "nonpolitical" at least by pretenses. I know that's a blurry line but try to stay within it in a way that both brunch liberals and chuds would agree is "nonpolitical."
Here's mine:
A grizzled ex-military veteran that has flashbacks to doing something presented as heroic but that also got him discharged for unfair reasons becomes a cop in the suburbs. He loves his wife and his kids very much in a vague stoic manly way, but they're getting increasingly distant with him. That all changes when they :us-foreign-policy: come over from wherever the veteran was stationed and get revenge on him by kidnapping and/or fridging...
I'm just writing a Taken sequel, aren't I? I give up. :sweat:
gritty jesus story reboot, or maybe an apostle, its not very important tbh
same schlock as normal, pale jesus, middle east color filter over everything, but we have a big war and revisionist history where say, the new christians aid the Bar Kokhba revolt (just like israel :so-true:) and lots and lots of excessive persecution scenes of christians getting crucified and fed to lions and shit
itd be really great because it could fabricate parrallels between modern 'persecution' christian chuds like to pretend they're suffering under 'historical' pretenses. it could narratively support israel from a christian imperial view. it could be klansman racist and have it excused through 'history'. and finally, western libs uncritically support pro christian narratives even when they nominally identify as not. jesus is not political
e: omg and have the syrians (brown folks helping the romans against the revolt) doing the stabbing terrorist warfare the Kokhba rebels did, but against the rebels and christians
