Motivations:

David Kim (Xombi)

But poll submitter, you say, Duo already came out relatively recently. First of all, very cool and sexy of you to be on top of your Milestone Returns releases (for real check them out, check out Static: Up All Night, and especially check out the original Milestone comics). Second of all, Duo was a pretty decent superhero origin story, but a horrible Xombi reimagining. The original Xombi run was an exceedingly stylish urban fantasy tale closer in vibe to its Vertigo contemporaries than the rest of the Milestone slate. I feel like a reboot that kept at least some of the worldbuilding and supporting cast of the original run, but borrowed some elements from Duo (I'd love a weirder take on the David-Kelly fusion situation, for example) would be an absolute banger to read and would shore up the magical corner of Earth M, which doesn't have much going for it as of yet.

Donna Troy (Troia), Koriand'r (Starfire), and Rachel Roth (Raven)

the girls!!!

When the new UIs referred to Caspian as a member of "The Old Pantheon", it got me thinking. Who was in that Pantheon? What was the mythology and "religion" like for the UIs over their founding?

Like, do they view Holstrom as like an Evil Demiurge?

Maybe people like David and Laurie are seen like, Gaia and Ouranos, the Father and Mother of every UI, since they're the source of the cure.

I can see Chanda being a Loki like figure, trickster, enemy, ally, all at the same time. He'd be divisive, helped the Demiurge, helped the Pantheon. But he is also the one who created the world they live in.

Yair and Farhad as being like twin or brother Gods.

Joey would be the Hermes or Messenger God, considering she was the witness to the battle.

SafeSurf is definitely the Devil analogue, the Ultimate Enemy for the UIs.

Then, you have Caspian, which is definitely the Messiah, sacrificed himself for the good of all, even returns at their greatest need. Has a final confrontation with the Devil/SafeSurf.

I think my favorite aspect of Pantheon was how much it focused on the ways that its crazy sci-fi tech affected people on a more individual scale.

David’s reintroduction back into Maddie and Ellen’s lives as a UI has larger ramifications for the world as a whole, yes, but the initial focus is squarely on the ramifications it has on their world.

Maddie, who’s just happy to have her dad back, desperately trying to force everything to go back to the way it was before.

Ellen, who’s put in so much effort to move on from David’s death, not only for herself, but for their daughter; only to now have all of that effort and development threatened by his “resurrection.”

And David, who’s scared of his new existence, but still wants to be there for people he loves, in whatever way they need him to be.

It’s this intimate focus on each of the characters and the messy ways they react to the crazy sci-fi circumstances surrounding them that really made me fall in love with this show.

#came for the existentialism #stayed for the character drama #literally everything about this show revolves around connection and how people effect each other #I like it when hard sci-fi gets sappy ok?#there’s tons of other examples but this was the one that stuck out to me #me rambles #pantheon #pantheon amc #david kim #Ellen Kim #maddie kim #meta

Anyway I just realized that Daniel Dae Kim played both these dudes & it kills me, they're literally at the opposite ends of the "how good a parent (and a person) are you" scale.

Tyson Sykes, David Kim, and Mitch Shelley; Gravedigger, Xombi, and the Resurrection Man

A soldier, a scientist, and a doomed soul, the three men with little connection beyond mysterious experiments to extend their lifespans indefinitely, David and Mitch’s investigations into the nanites or tektites that changed them led them to Tyson and the revelation that the groups responsible for all of them connected back to one man:

Vandal Savage.

The Fox and Other Poems

By David Kim The Fox My mother is a fox, sly and cunning, In sneaking in veggies, she was stunning She'd chop them up and mix them in, And I'd eat them up with no regard Her wit was sharp Mapping all my devious mechanisms Taught me how to be a better liar But she will always prevail Loves her young as any animal With a love that's fierce as its orange coat Will defend me with the sharpest of…

Chairman inauguration The Family Federation for Unification and World Peace, Netherlands, since 1996. President emeritus Unification Theological Seminary, since 2000.

David Kim's background consists of many of the UC's highest administrative, business, and evangelistic positions, as well as military and government positions, both prior to and after joining the Unification Church.

David Kim (Sang Chul Kim) grew up descended from nobility, attending Chosen Christian College, run by western Presbyterian missionaries serving the children of Korea’s most elite families. According to David’s testimony,

I went to Chosen Christian College from 1935 to 1939. It was established by missionaries of the Presbyterian Church of America. I attended the College when I was 20 to 24 years of age, a pure virgin bachelor. I was the source of pride and envy of my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, because I was the sole heir of the entire Kim clan birthright and I was studying at an American missionary college. Even in Japanese colonial days, Chosen Christian College, along with Ewha Christian College (a women’s college established by the Methodist Church of America), were the most prestigious colleges amongst the educated Korean elite. This American missionary college produced many Korean leaders not only in the fight against Japanese domination, but also in the years following liberation from Japan in 1945.

It should be noted that it is known that this school had deep connections to the U.S. military.

Horace Underwood II was the founding president of Yonsei University. At that time, Yonsei was called Yonhee College by Koreans and Chosun Christian College (CCC) by Americans. As the top adviser to the commander of the U.S. Forces in Korea (1945-48), he was the key person for Korea’s modernization.

From 1939-1945, he experienced relative privilege working for Chosen Rubber Industry Association. According to Kim, this was a Japanese-run company. In one account, he wrote that he was well-to-do in these years. He wrote in his testimony:

Even in Japanese colonial days, my wife and I lived well, since I was an employee of a government-controlled industrial organization. I had a good position and was well paid until the end of World War II in 1945, when Korea was liberated from Japanese domination.

Many Western-educated Japanese collaborators became U.S. assets following WWII, such as Helen Kim.

In the 50s-70s, many of South Korea’s most wealthy and influential figures had been collaborators during the Japanese occupation, including much the political and military leadership. Many of them actively erased their past as a traitor from public memory, at times with the assistance and support of the U.S. government.

Many believe that it would be fair to describe David Kim as a Japanese collaborator during their occupation.

He, like other early Moonie missionaries, had a liaison position between the U.S. military and the South Korean government following World War II.

From 1948-1959, Kim worked for South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which undoubtedly would have had strong intelligence relations.

When he met Moon in 1954, he wrote that he was a "third-tier rank official of the Korean national government." Kim joined the Unification Church February 1954, and the Unification Church was officially named and founded on May 1 (May Day), 1954.

Kim had even spent time in Europe after joining the church, having been sent there by his own government as a “UN scholar,” burdened with the mission of bringing the Divine Principle to European Christians:

Not long after the founding of HSA-UWC in Korea, I was selected by the Korean government to study in Britain for two years as a UN scholar, along with other under-developed nations’ representatives at Swansea College, University of Wales. Externally I was a UN scholar, but internally I had a mission to spread True Father’s message to Christians overseas and around the world.

While I was in Wales I never neglected my heavenly mission and duty. Whenever I had spare time, I visited many churches and small groups to look for people, and spoke many times at churches as a guest speaker. On those occasions I would introduce our Korean group and preach based on the contents of Divine Principle, which was available only as handwritten notes exchanged among the early members. Near the end of my stay in England, I succeeded in contacting a conservative Christian organization called the Apostolic Church International, which was holding a World Convention in South Wales at that time. I was allowed to speak for 30 minutes, appealing to 3,000 participants at the World Convention about the situation of Teacher Sun Myung Moon, our movement and the Korean government persecution.
