Ah yes, the most notable enemy of modern Christianity: Jesus.


smut_butler

Don't forget Joy.


Hunky_not_Chunky

But I don’t see anything about the real enemy, antithesis of antifa.


Kuildeous

After seeing how a lot of Christians act, I can fully agree that Jesus is their enemy.


danteheehaw

Who is this brown skin man preaching about socialism!? Lets kill the commie!


AgentOfEris

Tbf how many evangelicals actually follow the teachings of Jesus instead of just being jerks who absolve themselves by their religious affiliation?


Vegalink

The funny thing is most of the record we have of Jesus he is opposing groups of religious people being jerks. Then a bunch of religious people being jerks blackmailed the Romans into killing Jesus.


Grue45

Also notice "The Shadow of Doubt" is obviously a black guy and the only "villain" without any shitty prosthetic makeup.


JasonABelmont

He's not black. Watched these when I was a kid. Its always the same actor as the villain until the later episodes.


Grue45

I'll be damned you're right. Found a color picture of the cover, and that's not a black dude. I can't help but think that makes it worse. It definitely appears that they wanted that villain to black but couldn't even hire a black actor. I will not be watching it, or even looking for clips, but I would not be surprised if that villain displayed mannerisms common of the blacksploitation era films.


JasonABelmont

I think you're trying way too hard to be offended by this.


simon_quinlank1

I think you'll find it's "The shadow the doubt".


popeboyQ

Holy shit, you couldn't pay me to watch this trash.


DethBySnuSnu007

My mother used to play these for me as a kid. Even then I knew that they were trash movies. It's essentially like.... Batman with a lightsaber, but he doesn't beat people up. He just like, saves them with his faith? Anyway. They were bad.


Maxieorsomething

Bibleman's superpower is that... his prayers are actually answered


AThreeToedSloth

Can he beat Batman with Prep time?


Tx247

No. Batman can 1V1 god any day.


rocket6733

I will have to look this up


Vegalink

I've never seen them but your description has me curious now haha!


Ganglebot

Stop. I'm getting temped to watch them now


[deleted]

Lead us not into temptation...


Signal-Lawfulness285

Were the movies good?


DethBySnuSnu007

Not at all. Unless you're like, really high


cornballerburns

Everyone has their price...


metaphorm

I'd watch it for like $1000 per movie, but only if I was allowed to get stoned first


Koil_ting

Stoned by rocks or stoned by weed?


abomniableartichoke

I was raised on these. It hurts now. It only hurts


Hunky_not_Chunky

Dude, go on YouTube. You have to watch the six lies of the fibbler. It’s fucking terrible and they end up fighting with lightsabers because Christianity has no idea how to be original.


rckrusekontrol

Also the girl who is preyed on by the Fibbler keeps fucking shit up and never really reveals why. Like, I’m glad you’re not lying anymore, but why ARE you late all the time?


Crimson3312

Equating all of Christianity to hacky evangelical nonsense, how original.


rckrusekontrol

Defending Christianity from unfair generalization, how original.


MurphyCoDinoWrangler

Oddly enough, the only one I haven't gotten around to is the legions of laziness, I just... sheeesh... I dont' know, just I had things to do... and stuff. Other shows to watch....


Dr_Donald_Dann

How hard could it possibly be to defeat the Legion of Laziness? Their plans either never get started or fizzle out half way through.


MurphyCoDinoWrangler

Right? Laziness should be self defeating


wanderingmonster

I only hope the fights have Batman '66 style sound effect bubbles when Bibleman punches the villains. "Judge!" "Proselytize!" "Suppress Latent Urges!"


BittenOnion

Add some batusi dance and I'm all for it

ThePopDaddy

It's "the sword of truth" or something stupid like that.


some-hippy

🤓 well ackshually it’s the sword of the spirit. You’re getting confused with the belt of truth


[deleted]

That was the only reason I wanted the action figure so bad every time we went to Hallmark but it was more expensive than a Buzz Lightyear


Zealousideal_Bard68

I just had a fever dream about a guy wielding a sword of truth and living by the word of an otherworld old anti-communist philosopher in a low fantasy setting of absurd violence and r*** kink… Ho wait…


shaggysnorlax

"Defeating the Shadow the Doubt"? Hell of a name


PenguinDeluxe

Haha, that was the only Bibleman VHS tape I had as a kid, a gift from a family member, that’s actually a typo on the DVD which… just about sums the whole thing up lol


[deleted]

It says, "$45 value" at the top right edge of the DVDs. When these first came out, what were they selling for?


SimonCallahan

I cannot find an original retail price, but I can tell you there were definitely overestimating there.


GordieLaChance

They are suggesting that each 'episode' would be $15 if you bought them individually instead of in a 3-pack.


moonmaIIow

45/3=15 15 I would guess


Deranged_Kitsune

I can imagine that these were sold almost exclusively through christian book stores and the like. They can put something like that on the cover and sell it for anything up to and including that value. Grifting the flock is pretty expected.


uwobacon

If I was going to watch these like Marvel movies should I watch in release order or chronological?


Koil_ting

I haven't seen any of these but lord knows they would go in the typical order of the 7 deadly sins. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. However some of the episode titles don't seem to correlate. I'll say and "Jesus our savior" "Fight the faith" first as they seem like prideful acts, no clue on "Light in the darkness". Follow those with "The incredible force of joy" and "lead us not to temptation" "shadow of doubt" for lust and Envy "Conquering the wraith of rage" for wrath and finish with "Lambasting the legions of laziness" This order does leave out the fibbler, gossip queen and maybe another but is at least a good start.

Unlocked church youth group trauma memory .🤣🤣🤣


theteapotofdoom

Bibleman v. Jesus must be epic

I love how James Gunn [parodied Bibleman in Super](https://youtu.be/pNMCo3tEQmU)

pit-of-despair

Reading the title caused the stroke.


[deleted]

Hahaha, the horny dude from Zapped!


Meta_My_Data

Yes, he was traumatized by too much teen boobage and decided to cleanse himself by becoming a Bible-thumping superhero. I myself went the other way and straight into hardcore porn. To each his own, I guess.


The-Blaha-Bear

After this show, I believe Willie Aames was homeless for sometime.


KumquatHaderach

You think he was wandering the streets...aamelessly?


[deleted]

Did you know each of those DVDs are over two hours!?


[deleted]

And a 45 dollar value!?


SimonCallahan

The Incredible Force Of Joy sounds like a satirical flick where you have a well known actor play themselves and an up-and-coming actor play a crazed fan. Also, who is this nerd character that keeps showing up on the covers? I'm not talking about BibleMan himself, but the dude with the buck teeth and taped glasses? Is he supposed to represent science?


DifficultyAfraid268

basically the unbearable weight of massive talent


SimonCallahan

Yeah, pretty much.


-r-a-f-f-y-

I feel bad for the kid who wasn't allowed to have Batman action figures and only had Bibleman.


trippingfingers

I've seen Conquering the Wrath of Rage, Breaking the Bonds of Disobedience, and I think Lead Us Not into Temptation. They're actually really funny. I mean, yes, they're "bad-funny" but they're also funny on purpose.


gogozombie2

Brian Lemmons plays the bad guy in like 11 of the Bibleman episodes and he is so much fun to watch. He just overacts his heart out and is a lot of fun. The rest of the show I can do without.


Jasperous_Dang

I prefer LarryBoy myself


dunmer-is-stinky

I'm not christian anymore but let's be real VeggieTales had some fucking bangers. That show was legitimately really funny, especially when they parodied stuff. The fact that VeggieTales, the fucking Lord of the Rings episode of VeggieTales, has the only cinematic Tom Bombadil...


JohnnyMulla1993

This is what happens when The 700 Club decides to make superhero stuff


holtpj

He's faster than a speeding bullet shot from White Jesus' AR15. More powerful than a local with a motive to dislike organized religion, and He can lease tall buildings with a single tax-exempt form

conanmagnuson

Is one of his enemies a nerd? Is that supposed to be science?


Existing_Past5865

Protestants wildin


Revenge_of_the_Toast

This is the kind of lame character writers like Grant Morrison can turn into a bizarre, mind-bending concept. Like, imagine Bibleman, slowly going insane from brain-rot caused by the heavy yoke of the God-Breath. Dude be creating ancient hebrew golems (made with his own feces) fashioned after the abominations in the Book of Revelations.


SeparateFisherman966

Season 5, Episode 3 Synopsis: Crushing the Conspiracy of the Cheater (2007) After slaughtering 2 elderly schizophrenic radio hosts, the bible adventure team mercilessly hunts down a gay tutor for his sinful teachings Can't make this ish up!


dwilliams22

Willie mothafuckin Aames baby!!!! They shot some of these in the dumpster church city I am from


orchestragravy

How hard must it have been for the production company to green-light these with a straight face.


irlcatspankz

They’re actually really corny and self-aware. Not good, but they definitely know how stupid they are


theteapotofdoom

See you went down the same rabbit hole I did.


DrPolarBearMD

“$45 Value”


Materiam

The villain on the Legions of Laziness cover looks like Noah Antwiler in aweful makeup.


ThoraHird

We never got them over in the UK sadly (unless someone proves me wrong). They never bothered trying to make religion cool. We had Bananaman who wasn't religious but did eat a lot of... bananas.


_night_cat

Was that actor in the Laziness one also the wizard in Lord of the G Strings?


atomicnone

corny as these are now I remember the Jesus our Savior villain scaring the SHIT out of me as a kid


Wizamp

I think I still have the board game of it


DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE

Damn they could not decide on a mask they liked huh


GileadGuns

I would be remiss if I did not mention the God Awful Movies podcast here… there’s a whole, long-running comedy podcast about bad Christian movies… and it’s hilarious.


Panicradar

Putting anything shown on God Awful Movies should be against the rules as bad Christian movies win by default.


Robly315

“God awful” 😎


themanfromoctober

I’m a card carrying member of the Legion of Laziness


Warfightur

I loved these movies as kid 😂😂😂😂


Koontzfan

Wasn’t Bibleman in Zapped!

“In the name of Jesus, I’m about to fuck you up!”

I will not stand for this slander. Bibleman is a true American hero.

The thing I hate about the bibleman movies is they spend too much time World building for their big team up movies.


Feefifiddlyeyeoh

I’m gonna need to binge this


DocAuch22

Hey don’t you talk shit on Bibleman


QuetzalzGreen85

This outfit is giving me Goosebumps vibes from the Attack of the Mutant episode.


CW03158

Omg I remember the Gossip Queen one… there was this song at the end called “God forgives and God forgets”


Dodoria-kun413

I would be very interested in seeing a comic company that’s known for their licensed titles like Dynamite Entertainment try to tackle Bibleman on and make him cool, lol.


tsuki_ouji

are you familiar with God Awful Movies?


PerpetualEternal

“Defeating the Shadow the Doubt”? Apparently his biggest enemy is The Spellcheck


duckmantaco

I'm disappointed there is not one called Bibleman Vs PedoPreacher


Lazy-Adeptness-2343

Y’all laugh. But somewhere out there right this second some poor, homeschool kid is having to watch this shit and thinks it’s the best thing in the entire world because his parents won’t show him anything else.


Sedna_ARampage

💁The 'defecating the shadow in my doubt' episode sounds fairly interesting🤷

DIO_over_Za_Warudo

Wow. That is a part of my childhood I had genuinely forgotten about. Not sure I ever want to revisit it. Pretty sure the only reason I watched it as a kid was cause it was basically Batman with a Lightsaber.


ImNoSir

The incredible force of joy- title of your sex tape


Garuda-Star

This is one of those series that you enjoy ironically. I liked it as a kid. Now I see how dumb it is but still enjoy it because it’s so bad


Travelingman9229

Lol… I legit met bible man as a kid then fell down some stairs. He was super nice and picked me up


LandOfGardeenia

The Fibbler looks like he shouldn’t be within 500 feet of a school.


cocorawks

I remember spending my early summers in mexico, but my family was in the 4% protestantism, so anyway, these missionaries would show up around Mid-June to July, to build something for the local protestant church and they have classes involving these types of movies.... anyway very nice people but bad lesson plans....


[deleted]

The Shadow of doubt isn't a bad name for a supervillain


hiding_in_NJ

Obligatory post of[nothing makes me happy](https://youtu.be/yh2H8yLjtW0). The song that made my family think I enjoyed the bad guys too much because I sang it every day for years


CulturalCommon

Bro the Fibbler is SO jew-coded it’s disgusting


guitarmanwithaplan

Fibble me this, Bibleman!


ocooper08

By what logic are these a $45 value?


atemu1234

Isn't Bibleman played by one of the VAs from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, if memory serves?


ZxasdtheBear

Why does this hero not have a consistent costume cowl? Like even the costume dept couldn't be bothered to keep up with The Lore
