Thanks to HelloFresh for sponsoring today's video. Go to strms.net/hellofresh_saberspark, use my code POGSABERFREE, and receive one free breakfast item per box while subscription is active! ON THAT NOTE! What do you all think about God's Gang? Is it offensive? Is it wholesome? Lemme know in the comments!
Hi
n o
“Description and pinned comment” lol
I don't think it's offensive on purpose, but I get the same vibe as that one soccer mom bumper sticker that says 'COEXIST' and every letter is a different religious symbol. It being so optimistic and genuine is kinda charming along side being so silly.
Edit: Are... are the enemies of the series personifications of conspiracy theories? Reptilians, generalized Evil scientists?
I'd say it's a mis around wholesome and accidental offensive
The most offensive thing about this show is they went with "Ninjew" instead of "Jew Jitsu"
Ninjew does sound like something Cartman would come up with
The ninjocaust
@@michaeliv284I think he already did.
I thought it was a combo of Ninja & Jewish.
@@SunYat-senNot Cool!!!
It's sad that the most unrealistic part of the cartoon is people from the three Abrahamic religions getting along
My farts are better than Saberspark and Saberfart’s farts 💨
Sectarian differences is the biggest killer of faith based groups
Honestly it would be nice if we could all get along 😅
While I was at College they had a group that got multiple people from different religions together to talk about differences, hates, misconceptions, etc it mostly focused around Abrahamic faith and called themselves the Children of Abraham. It was extremely respectful and amazing learning experience there was some really awful people who joined to try and be angry at Jewish or Muslim fate but they were like very far between each other like maybe 1-2 a year.
They also had great food, which probably while it was Extremely popular with broke college students.
If you think the Abrahamic faiths get along with polytheist religions like hinduism I have some new for you😅.
as a buddhist my only complaint is that they didn't take the chance to make a buddhist named "dharmate" (karate), "jiu-butsu", or "buddho" (judo)
i want to see a battle monk, avatar the last airbender style
Omg yes THAT WOULD BE SO COOL
THAT WOULD BE SO GOOOOOODDD
And if they do a Halloween special it better involved with exorcism
They have said they intend to bring in more characters with other faiths, so I'm sure we'll see it eventually if they keep getting funding for episodes
Those are pretty good!
"Ninjew" sounds like something straight out of Eric Cartman 💀😭

Real talk I always thought most college humor skits were unfunny and only few of them were
If this is real I want a edgy batman character named Agnostkick who fights crime and when asked about religon he or she worships says "I worship no one and everyone."
I was thinking of "Scept-Kick" funny enough. But he was more like The Question, systematically analyzing everything and... just being a creepy (yet well intentioned) weirdo. The guy who goes through everyone's trash to see who is or isn't who they say they are.
Find the creator and pitch it to them.
Me lmfao
SOMEONE PAY THIS MAN AND MAKE THIS A CHARACTER
That about goth girl Wicka-ra-te
Credit where credit due, I do really like the art style, and the animation is pretty good for a small production. Also the "no one wants to come to work on Wednesday/ Well its Tuesday" joke got a big chuckle out of me. Ageing it up to appeal more to older kids, maybe have some harder hitting questions whilst still remaining faithful could be a good spin.
I agree with this. The production team will DEFINITELY need to do research but i gotta say. it's so nice seeing something genuine, even if it missed the mark in places. So many shows and movies are 'ironic' and mean spirited in a "haha we all suck! please laugh!" way, so to see ANYTHING that insists different people are all great, actually, and have different skills, is really refreshing. :)
I honestly wish him well, and kudos to him for trying to do something to make things better. However effective it ends up being in the end, it takes a lot of courage to even try and that should be recognized.
As far as advice I'd give him, I'd say bringing on some sensitivity readers could go a long way to sanding off some of the more...awkward aspects. The show's always going to be cringey, its too genuine not to be, but keeping it compassionate and earnest can help win people over in the long run.
I love how the Muslim is just absolutely built

I will admit, Chris Cross is a creative name.
Ninjew
@@tc1draws797Should have went with "Jew Jitsu"
Chris cross apple sauce
Chris Cross is great but Taekwonhindu is a terrible name like what even is that? It's not even a pun.
@@hellofellowalivehuman This is what i think of every time, I hear Chris Cross 😂🤣
Firstly, I think "God Squad" would be a better name, it kinda rhymes that way.
If this project picks up steam, I hope that the scientists don't stay villains. I think that if you're going to make a show where the premise is that people of different faiths can get along despite their differences, pointing out a particular group (possibly atheists in this case, idk I'm speaking hypothetically) as the bad guys kinda sours the message. Like, if the show wants to fight hate, it needs to be really careful about its villains to make sure it isn't reinforcing any biases the team might have. Im not saying that the creators are doing this in bad faith; I'm just saying that for the show to actually follow its premise, it needs to be very nuanced and as unbiased as possible.
Invisible Sky Wizard's Squad...
If anything, I think it would be better if they made the villains be groups of religious extremists who hate seeing people of different religions getting along and come up with different plans in each episode to sabotage things and make it seem like it was the fault of another religion, manipulating people into hating each other.
Maybe they even try manipulating the members of God’s gang into turning against each other, until they realize what’s happening and work together to stop the extremist villains.
Doing this would teach kids that, in the real world, it’s not easy to understand other people with different beliefs/cultures and that as a result, prejudice can stem from it. That’s why it’s important to respect people and their religions despite their differences if we truly wish to live together peacefully. It’s a lot better than having the atheist villains give off the impression of slandering people who simply choose not to follow any religious faiths.
@@user-cx6lq8mt5g I checked the website, there are going to be four villains in this series, one of them is the TTT which is a parody of the K- yeah you can finish that sentence as it's pretty obvious who they are parodying by name (& looks) alone
@@ExtremeMadnessXEren, try harder
@@bamers404 Flying Spaghetti Monster?
I think my only gripe here is the seemingly lack of effort with everyone except Chris Cross's design. the other three just look like fairly generic idea of practitioners of their respective religions while Chris Cross's design gets to draw inspiration from 1970s blaxploitation genre (which is a very cool idea! this isn't me ragging on that concept). I kind wish the other characters had something like that. maybe base each character after a different kind of action star, kung-fu cinema, Spy thrillers, Bollywood, idk literally anything.
good point
I'd agree with this as a Muslim, but I can see if you're not working with someone who's familiar or in the religion, it'll be hard to make any references that could slip into bad stereotypes.
@demiralilian3271 I mean that's just it though. I feel like if you want to make this series about religious tolerance and inclusivity, don't you think It'd be important to get people on your team who do know about the religions you're basing characters on?
@@TheMissGnat yeah I know and that is what my grip is too. but being realistic here, there's probably not much Islamic people working in the project, and that's why.
The theme song says "one god" but one of them is Hindu...
Ehh... Hindu theology is complex and varied, but most of the larger school of Hinduism belive that there is one underlying "god" and that all the gods are different forms/eminations/facets of that one. Depending on the tradition or the individual beliver it can be very literal, as in they are all individual "persons" with one underlying reality (more like the Christian Trinity), or more abstract, as in different gods are just ways for people to compartmentalize the wast underlying divine in a way that they can understand and relate to. So many Hindus, especially in majority Christian and Muslim areas will say they belive in God, or "one god", or the same God as those monotheist religions do, just with a very different view on it. And if Christians get the "one god" pass despite the Trinity I don't see why Hindus can't as well if they want.
Hinduism has Brahman, which is the Ultimate Principle of all that is. Brahman is unchanging, but through it's influence all else can be changed. It binds all diversity in unity. That sounds like a dead-ringer for a supreme creating force when comparing it to other religions. And while the other three religions have YHWY(Yahwey)/Allah/God, I can see how the creators would include Hindu representation with such an entity/concept in its cosmology. That being said, Brahman is indifferent, creating merely because it is compelled to.
@@Painocus Ehh??
@@Aesos3429 ?
The comments to this post are the kind of nice informative little blurbs I was hoping to find. I was curious about the Hindu thing too, and now I understand a bit better.
I don't think it's meant to be OFFENSIVE.
I think it was a well meaning, yet naive attempt at showing inter-faith solidarity.
I think the creator wanted to find what these religions all have in common, as opposed to their differences. But as a result, it overlooks the complexities and fascinating cultural differences that make these religions unique. In it's place, he fell back on general superhero tropes and also some more superficial ways to differentiate the cast.
That's actually a nice comment, I am inclined to agree !
i see it as a message that all religions should respect each other, heck as a believer of islam a rule of our religion is manners. which is not to harass people that arent muslim and let them do what they want to.
during the caliphate, the khalifahs just let the jews do their religion openly, which is manners!
@@krio1267 My sibling in faith, believe me it's very refreshing to see a fellow muslim who believes in respecting others values!
بارك الله يومكم ! أدعو ربي أن ياتنا الحكمة فمن أوتيها فقد أوتي خيرا كبيرا.
Yeah, I think so too. On the surface, I also see this as a cute idea with a potential I can understand. It’s just everything else like you said. Looks like the creator’s got the right spirit. But may be a little bit out of touch.
Naive is an understatement 😅
As a lifelong atheist and general hater of organized religion... I kind of have to adore the idea behind this. Setting aside the whole "bad scienstists" thing apparently presented right off the bat, I like that the creator is trying to teach kids from different religious background to be tolerant and accepting of those with a different background. I legit hope this thing does well enough to continue. Genuinely good intentions feel frighteningly scarce these days, so I'm happy to celebrate where they pop up, however misguided or flawed.

Yeah, the somewhat similar show that I think did a good job was the one where Jesus and Buddah are roomates.
Less “Bad”, more Mediocre at best.
The vibe is good tho
YesSSS it really needs some less stereotypical designs (also not the villains looking like Jewish charicatures...)
Saber is right, we are too cinical for this
17:50 as an atheist i like what hes trying to do, but you cant say you support everyones beliefs then villify a certain group. Make a brooding batman like character. Have him be able to connect with the nonbelievers they come across.
Edit: one commenter said they should have a character like the question. that fits so well.
The line from the theme song "Ninjew is always over analyzing" had me dead untillater when I realized his special move is "Ana Laser" I just can't...
I read anal laser 💀
I really don't think the shows enemies should be science and people who don't believe in the same religion but should just be bad people in general. Like have them fight a monster or bullies like normal kids cartoon villains, not people who aren't even bad people just people who don't believe in it. It truly teaches the opposite of what they're wanting to teach.
Edit) I feel like sharing the other ideas in my replies: having them fight extremists and cultist
They could even fight cultist or things like that, people who manipulates others with religion instead of using it as an instrument for peace. Although that may hit to close to home for some parents.
@@scioregis6381 yeah, I didn't even think of that, I just know it's not a good idea to show other beliefs of the what, who, and how as bad
To be fair, most of the other villains are things like demonic CEOs and aliens after natural resources.
Apparently scientists are evil because they believe in evolution.
And that is why they fail...
Oh god, does Ninjew throw throwing Stars of David?!
😂
That will be a cool idea for the show
That’s canon now 😊
Yes and Tefillin nunchaku
It might make him moderately cooler.
(Sorry, I'm a butthurt Jew. We're possibly the most varied ethnic group on the planet, and this show represents us with a parody of Woody Allen.)
Thiw looks REALLY interesting. And the part about it not working with kids? Why? This looks 100% with something CN could show today, but with a clear, good message.
I really hope this show succeeds, whatever the format.
Honestly as a Christian, I really want to support and see the show if it does become a series! I think it's got my kind of taste of wholesome yet dumb humor. I can't speak on how people of other religions feel, but I don't think this show will offend me personally.
In another video about God’s Gang someone commented this, so I think it has to be said: How about an Atheist/Agnostic reporter who’s always late and misses the magic 😂
If they portrayed that respectfully, I love that idea.
That actually wouldn't be a bad idea. But only in that specific circumstance
If the gang doesn't get along with that character at the start and they slowly learn to respect and trust each other it would be perfect.
gotta make it a dynamic duo, the atheist who always misses the show and the obnoxiously dedicated missionary always trying to drag her to catch it in time, like candace and her mom.

I grew up in a mixed faith family and we would have been all over this when I was a kid! But it feels very much like something that would do well with families that already agree with the shows message. And I do mean families. This is something parents will pick out for their kids to watch.
It also feels very like, 70s? Not just cause of crisscross's outfit, but it feels very contemporary with the likes of captain planet.
I also have some critiques of the way the characters and their faith is presented, not the least of which is that most jews dont dress like that, but if this was firmly a kids show, i think it would be fine. A good first step, as opposed to the whole journey.

Ikr? My mom still tries to remind mw to say that from time to time lol
My big concern is how this show is going to treat some of the villains of this show. Not because they are villains, but because of the context behind some of the villains they plan to show need to be handled with immense care. Looking on their website they plan to have villains that are a parody on the KKK (the show calls them the TTT) with the removal of the religious background behind it and saying they are just "karens in a pink hood." As a history teacher, it feels disingenuous when the show is about how Abrahamic religion can coexist with each other, but then make evil characters who has some ties to certain beliefs that caused some really horrible events in history.
I think it’d be good if they didn’t remove the original religious backing of the different enemies, and portrayed it as a younger, less tainted practitioner of the faith and their friends fighting against a decades old barbarism that’s clinging onto their faith, treat it like it’s something we need to move past, but not forget. They’re something the characters have to say “no! We can be better than that!” to.
Yeah I wonder about that and as an atheist it does leave me wondering how they'd handle that
they could have gone with cults and exploitative versions of their religions amped up into 80's action villain levels evil but uh, faux KKK... neat.
That sounds…a bit insensitive on their part. Yikes.
Yeah. This whole thing strikes me as well-intentioned and sincere, but also rather tone deaf and naive. As Saberspark mentions, it has an intended audience issue, but I think that intended audience issue runs deep in the writing and prevents them from finding a balance between tackling the real issues and making it palatable, and so the end result is bland and ineffective.
If they can't show and tackle the flaws within the religions covered, then the whole thing feels more like whitewashing over the deep seated issues.
I am going to be honest. I just find it absolutely adorable that it comes from a loving father who wants to be a good example for his children. I know the attempt is ignorant and goofy. But hey. In the end it's wholesome and goofy which is at least a sweet atempt
How is it ignorant?
@@yeahgirl11 Well for one the intro says they're following "one god" while theres a Hindu. The others make sense since they all folow Abraham but Hindusim is NOT Abrahamic
@@Blep-ms9pv Basing this off another comment but there is a larger school in Hinduism where there is one god but with different faces. Kind of like the Holy Trinity.

@@VinceroAlpha Who knows? Maybe they did, Maybe they didnt
In the South Park mobile game phone destroyer, in one of the stages Kyle calls himself the master ninjew. So that made this ninjew 10x funnier %D
you bring up an interesting point with the atheist scientist thing -- who's the villain of this show? these religions do have common things that they stand against, but those things are usually personified into very specific religious imagery. will it be villain of the week type stuff? maybe like a group of repeating villains? i think its cool to theme all the superpowers after the values and imagery associated with their respective religions. even for a kids show the character designs are a little on the nose and could benefit from subtlety -- its a little hard to navigate giving these characters meaningful arcs without indirectly projecting that on their religion as a whole.
Literal demons would be cool
The idea of showing various religions from the world working together and seeing the good messages that each culture has to tell, is actually a very nice idea. Not gonna lie.
I think each religion (and even ancient mythologies) do have some truth to them. Unfortunately, we know the turmoil that religious extremism and differences have caused over the years (I mean, Jesus wanted us to spread love and compassion in his name and several organizations ended up doing the opossite thing)

Totally agree.
People follow religions because of their positive messages and I think every one that's existed has something deeply human and respectable about it, even if many have...other less then steller ideas nested inside as well.
What's most important is treating everyone with respect and love and understanding. Whatever they believe, they are human too. That as a basic thought...needs to be promoted. But a lot of people get into hate circle jerks. They hate me, I'll hate them back kind of stuff. Or just misguided stuff getting repeated instead of truth (and people not listening long enough to find it.)
I think Saber has a point. People are negative on the internet. We need to, as individuals, feed the ideas we want to live with, not the ones that drag us and others down, like cynicism and aggression.

Hihi Muslim here! :))
Honestly this show is pretty wholesome and it’s pretty kids-friendly. It’s also shows that even if our religions are different, we still all are human beings who deserve respect
hello muslim sister, I think this show has a good heart and I thinks that cool
I love it. Im Jewish and i think Ninjew being a stereotypical short nerd is hilarous. As long as nobody takes this too seriously, we can all enjoy the show. And i love the message, i dont think anybody should hate someone for their beliefs.
As a born Christian, I approve of this.

If I were a supervillain in this universe I'd attack in the middle of the day on the overlap between the Sabbath and Ramadan so that Ninjew can't do anything and Sumuslim would physically be at his weakest from having not eaten anything all day.
And if Chris Cross is a seventh day Adventist, he would also be at church and wouldn’t be able to fight

It would also be best to attack at dawn, mid day, afternoon, or sunset because Sumslim would be praying
this is some evil supergenius thinking right here. That's genuinely a great character idea!
But how would you account for the other two?
Nice video, I appreciate you making these videos. I believe gods gang is a great kids' show about how different religions have different norms and teaches them a very good lessons while also teaching them to appreciate other religions
Oh my GOD thank you for talking about this, I kept seeing ads for it on Instagram 😭
I think this is an adorable idea but with a terrible execution. 🤣 like I’d love to see a show where you have people of different religions come together and how different faiths solve problems but this seems kinda weird honestly.
My farts are better than Saberspark and Saberfart’s farts 💨
Um the X-men.

My thoughts exactly.
It really does say a lot about the world that this comes out and we all say, “So this is a parody, right?”
It might? Its might be a satire for adult that isnt bad to watch for kids? They had conan writers and faith people aproved the jokes so. probably some mix?
You know, I think it's you that might need to settle down as "the world" would be quite sane to not take that garbage seriously, lexh.5225.
@@ActionGamerAaronDamning people with peaceful good intentions isn't a thing that reasonable people do.
It would do a lot of good if we taught people to be tolerant of each others' differences at a young age. Sure, this thing isn't Shakespeare, but if I have to show my kid this or a Logan Paul video I'd choose this.
"Sumuslim, Taekwonhindu, Ninjew" naw, it doesn't say anything about the world this just hella goofy
If you don't take it as parody you have to take it as propaganda. The former is more fun
I don't think is misplaced, is just the world that sucks.
Yeah 😢
14:22 It really depends on what part of each faith they come from and how strict they are, and what kind of track record the show sets for itself, and most importantly, if they keep all faiths represented equal or not... That would be the determining factor for most...
So do the aliens represent Scientology or...
I can't believe I didn't consider that until you pointed it out
or ufo death cults
I'm pretty sure they just represent aliens. This show seems more interested in the base positive message than anything deeper, and it'd be kinda contrary to the messaging if they were represntative of a different faith. ...Even scientology...
What of Mormon and JWs?
Jws don't believe in aliens, but as an exjw i would kill to see a show where JWs are saturday morning cartoon bad guys @@skootergirl22
From a Christian point of view, I think this show is innocent, and a rather fun attempt into the world of "religious media".
I know dang well that there's a lot of media in the Christian world, whether it's shows, cartoons, movies, and songs, that are outright horrible. So I find this new addition to be one of the more entertaining, bearable, and fun ones to become part of this category.
I can't speak for any other religion, but I find this to be just a innocent attempt. I think it could be better certainly, in a lot of ways, but yeah.
I, also from another Christian view, am very pleased with the Christian character in the group. I like the hip funky Black guy, instead of the rather perceived "persona" of what a Christian would look like, like a white man with short hair in a polo shirt. It's very refreshing to see the character played from a different person, like a gospel hall vibe instead of protestant, which is no shame to protestants of course, just not every Christian is that.
I think this show is pretty neat, but I also know I'm a really lax person about this kinda stuff, so I think it's pretty neat, but I don't think most will. Probably think it's too "silly".
bro chris cross is baptist and this shit is made by freemason jews secular jews
I actually like it.
I think it's very wholesome and positive, I like the (very imaginary irl) idea of the abrahamic religions working together like this. Oh and Hinduism is very fascinating, I like the inclusion.
@@dragonfist-md6xp Me too lol
@@romanes_eunt_domus I think it's quite wholesome, imagine peace between everyone, it's cute :)
BRo, out of all the crazy series I seen you review, this actually for me the most neat, it has potential and I hope they continue making more. It probably just th ebright colors and intro song, but I want more!
How are people just NOW finding out about this 😂
Yeah, I remember seeing it from years ago lol
I feel like this show could have succeeded at what it was trying to do if 1. the characters had actual names and 2. their religions were more than just shallow stereotypes or set dressing. What if the show portrayed how the religions are different in practice? Maybe the Muslim character takes out a prayer mat periodically, maybe the Christian character goes to church on Sundays, maybe the Hindu character offers to a murti, etc. and then the other characters respond with, "oh hey, that's cool." Having characters respond to radically different beliefs and practices would actually be a poignant message. If you're going to go there, then go there!
came to say this!
I applaud your creativity. These are good ideas and adds more to the characters and their religions.
Yeah, but one of them will inevitably say "woah, pal, that's kinda sussy what you're doing there"
Especially when it comes to the Hindus. Who are not avrahamic.
They can't make it mote realistic because otherwise muslim guy would have refused to work with a woman and treat her like an equal team member. And that's not the worst that could've happened.
@@ChemFrogEngels No offense, but that's a very bigoted view.
It feels like a PBS show. Not one of the hard hitters, but something nice that kids might look back on fondly. I think it has the bones to be something.
I can't believe they aired that episode where Ninjew falcon punched DW
The episode is a great jumping point for this kind of story, very silly and I think all the characters are adorable! Plus top tier animation. Tbh I think the naive nature adds to its charm
I remember getting an ad for this show like a year ago and the first thing that came to my head when watching it was" huh,this feels something saberspark would make a video on"
SAMEEE
9:43 "I don't know who this is for. I don't know who would dig this"
Ninjew fans, apparently.
I love the concept, need to see how cheesy it is now and the wholesomeness.
Ninjew is the gateway to hilarity
I’m already a simp for Ninjew
I'm ngl, when the creator said he wants the world to accept each others differences, it really touched me! I think the method he used is controversial, but his heart is in the right place.
I know everyone thinks it's naive, it is, but it's nice to be naive sometimes
Maybe he just lacks experience in story telling. I sometimes talk to people who don’t know much about story writing and filmmaking. And when I ask them what they would like to see in a movie, it can sound crazy. You know where it comes from based on their taste and repeated tropes in movies. But because they don’t know the technical parts of film and writing, it comes off as naive.
this is gold, just pure gold
actually want a full series, cause it sounds like a fever dream
I remember constantly getting this as a RUclips ad
First impressions, this looks so corny that I could probably find ironic enjoyment out of it. I'm Christian myself and the concept of people of different faiths coming together to fight evil sounds wild and honestly hilarious.
Edit: I watched it for myself and I think I like it too much because I want to see more. It's just plain fun to watch. Nothing too deep, but still a fun time.
Genuinely, it could be a great premise for a kids show.
It feels like an anomaly, something that shouldn't exist but by God, Vishnu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster I am glad it exists.
I love the premise too, but the characters rub me the wrong way. I can’t think of anything reason why tho other than they don’t feel real or human. And I not sure why I feel that way.
@@catherinebaldwin6580 Because maybe .... it's you and an entire culture of smashing anyone in the face who even dares to use an aspect of a culture they don't belong towards for any reason.
Seriously, think about it... being human doesn't have to mean violence & hate, or being hateful.... like it does for every damn'd sitcom on the planet.
I'm an atheist and honestly feel the same. Like it definitely feels like a guilty pleasure show and honestly feels like the creator wanted a show that shows "hey let's get along" but it just feels too sanitary. Like it's too squeaky clean and corny to feel actually genuine
This reminds me of that one anime where Jesus and Buddha have a vacation together
Where can I find it?
It's called Saint Young Men. It's super wholesome honestly.
Saint young men!!!
Honestly I could see Jesus getting along with Buddha.
SAINT YOUNG MEN MENTIONED
0:05 Okay I know that his special move is supposed to be analyzer, but that’s. That is not what I read at first.
I got anal laser 💀
This seems like a fake cartoon, you’d see on tv in gta
"Ninjew" is the most funniest and the most strange thing ever imagined.
Who else is looking forward to Jainist Jane, Wicca-Wackness and Sandy Sikh joining the cast?
Don't forget Zane the Zoroastrian
And also remember Shinra Shinto.
Issue with Sikh last I checked, like Shia and sunni factions its Islam.
@@maelofohio6682 it's definitely not, sikh scriptures are more so an amalgamation of hindu and Islamic texts. Oh and they say all paths to God are somehow correct, something most religions would very much disagree with.
What about Goetia Goth tho
I’m so happy you finally covered this, I watched the first episode when it first came and needed to hear opinions, I was so lost 😭
OYG OYG SABER! SABER! I think I got it! The agnostic or atheist persona could be a 4th wall breaking talking to the screen like Blues Clues or Dora kinda thing. And could have powers of foresight and the ability to interact with the screen edits/transitions like a teleporter and can influence scenes like a director or something lol just popped in my head when you said "maybe an agnostic persona".
"turning the other cheek" as a counter attack is honestly hilarious lol.
They created a cartoon with little to no stereotyping, showing that you genuinely wish to deliver this message of kindness to one another, and for that I thank them and wish them success in their endeavors.
I think that if the show went in depth about the cultures, practices, and history behind each character's religion and had some representation from other religions, the show would be really cool! Plus, the fact that the show isn't just about representation of cultures, but depicting and encouraging solidarity between them, is really powerful and is a really important message that the world needs now more than ever.
Could a show save the world? Maybe not. But I think we need more shows that focus on "We're different, but our similarities and our cooperation is more important".
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Now why does Ninjew look like Bessie from The Mighty B
I can actually see Bessie growing up into a super hero like this...
My farts are better than Saberspark and Saberfart’s farts 💨
I think he looks like Illymations😅
And why does Chris Cross look like if Michael Jackson and Spike from cowboy bebop had a child 💀
@@gothnerd887 the funnier thing is that Illymations is also jewish. The coincidence is immaculate.
Twitter is the last place to gauge how offensive something is. They get offended by everything.
It was weird because most of the replies seem to not find it offensive, but at the same time the replies were verified accounts...so.
I feel like nowadays days there's an equal amount of people offended by everything and people offended by people offended by everything
I think that’s the internet in general
@@cow1816 if an organic account on twitter is saying something js offensive, don't trust them
and If a bot account is saying something isn't offensive, don't trust them either
@@nekrosis6560 offended by offended people is a subtype of offended
I saw that THERE WAS ALREADY FANART?? This show is just bizzare 😭
Eh Hey, Saber what's going on?! Thanks for showing my tweet in the video!😁
I'm not going to lie. I might have to make this concept my next Dungeons & Dragons campaign. A party consisting of a cleric, a druid, a paladin, and a warlock.
Creator grew up on Gary Gygax :)
You know what - I want this to work. The world could use some unironic wholesomeness. My only thought is that a) have the scripts run though some consultants from the faiths, sensitivity readers b) don't make the villians "anti-religious" people and scientists, since there are devoted people in science and it would muddy the message of unity between different beliefs to make the world better. There are enough things that can be villianized - bullying, exploitation, pollution, substance abuse, etc. I'd also aim at the 8-11 demographic, but the writing could be clever so it's not too blunt. It's of course hard to imagine this flying with someone like conservative evangelicals, but if we canceled every show that doesn't fly with them.... Besides there are interfaith families. The key here is sensitivity readers from different backgrounds.
I'd also drop the halo and wings on Dogma's design, since they are christian shorthand iconography and maybe give her a glow or radiance instead to imply her nature more neutrally. This is the stuff you need people of different backgrounds to chime in in the production.
It's very funny how scientists are portrayed as "villains", considering that many scientists are actually religious.
From what I read it swam they are already doing point a.
Could probably show scientists doing good, makes those two that cause havoc to be the type of scientists that care for personal gain instead of bettering the world.
Maybe use that to depict those religions as well? Show that some use religion as a way to cause harm to non-believers instead of accepting differences in the world. You can make a lot of nuance behind it.
@@peachesandcream22 Yes. At least within physicists, there's tons of religious people of every creed from what I've collected.
The villains could also be people bigoted against certain religions (ex: islamophobes) or people using religion to hurt or hate people.
11:50 the soldiers from Avatar drained whale brains for immortality or something...
OK you know I will definitely watch this Sumuslim gotta be my favorite. But yeah I would love to see this continue.
And if theyre gonna have characters based off of different religions Id like to see others added that arent based off of Jesus related things like imagine having a Viking and a spartan like Odin and Zeus. Either way
peace and love everybody respect everyones believe🇬🇷🇳🇴✝️☪️✡️☯️
There's a kernel of something in this that I think will pop if cooked right, but it's not quite there yet.
The premise is absolutely golden, and Chris Cross is peak design.

as a member of the jewish faith, i gotta say, ninjew is the funniest thing i've seen all week
Introducing SaberSpark, aka the Agnostronaut!
As a concept and design this show seems really sweet and wholesome especially for kids! I was a Veggie Tales kid who also had friends from different faiths, so I know I would've loved something like this back then! Unfortunately the detail that the enemies are scientists/science-based really rubs me the wrong way though...
There's uhh also the fact that it gets huge things about the religions involved wrong.
I spent the entire video wanting an explanation on the well armed pigeon and still have no idea what is going on with that.
LMAO
SAME! I wanted to know his beliefs dang it.
It’s supposed to be a dove, I definitely see a pigeon
@@jeanbean7183 Now that you mentioned that, it makes more sense of it being a Dove.
@@1366ErikI know it’s supposed to be a dove hence his name in the intro ( considering doves are symbols of peace it explains the soldier outfit) I see more of a pigeon ( think homing pigeon) I’m not sure why he’s French though ( probably a reference to pigeons being used to carry messages in World War One and World War Two) it’s just that the art style makes him look more like a pigeon than a dove. Now can someone please explain the dog angel? , Because all I’m thinking is the movie all dogs go to heaven ( that wouldn’t surprise me if it referenced that considering the finding Nemo joke, that made me laugh at least)
Hey Saber, I am going to be interviewing Nimrod tomorrow about God’s Gang, and I was wondering if you had any advice for me, as you interviewed him a little bit ago
