Necromonger law...we keep what we kill...the truth of all oppression...the fear!

I have written a couple of blogs that use analogies from pop culture. This one is just like those with a twist...imagine...

Chronicles Of Riddick

The basis of the movie is the Necromongers, a group of "evolved beings", are going across the universe asking people to "convert" to the Necromonger faith or die. Riddick is the only thing stopping them from total domination.

Here is a quote from it...

They are an army unlike any other... crusading across the stars toward a place called UnderVerse, their promised land - a constellation of dark new worlds. Necromongers, they're called. And if they cannot convert you, they will kill you. Leading them, the Lord Marshal. He alone has made a pilgrimage to the gates of the UnderVerse... and returned a different being. Stronger. Stranger. Half alive and half... something else. If we are to survive, a new balance must be found. In normal times, evil would be fought by good. But in times like these, well, it should be fought by another kind of evil.



I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Did you see...another kind of evil?! Hell yeah!

Spoiler alert...

I just wonder...did anyone leave the theatre upset because Riddick won? Did anyone get the rental and return it saying that:
"To hell with Riddick"
No? The good guy that seemed to care very little about anyone other than himself? No one rooted against him? Why? I just wonder why? (Please note...last question was laced in sarcasm)

Now to understand what I am saying, I must add this...

The Necromonger Law...you keep what you kill.



Riddick kills the leader and gains the throne.

Why? You got it...The Necromonger Law...you keep what you kill.
The whole clan of Necromongers came about by giving in to the "evolution of man".
They either assimilated or faced death. There were no other options. They saw how horrible the Necromongers were, but still rather would give up their own humanity than face death. Now here is where it gets interesting...even though they acknowledged the leader...they aspired to be him one day...even if it meant to kill him to get it.

Now imagine if you were in a society that went across the land killing any and everyone that wouldn't(or couldn't) assimilate(or "convert") would you fear a backlash if someone challenged it? Wouldn't you get fearful of Karma biting a chunk out of your ass? It would only be fair if they were to kill you so that they could have the power.

Being erased would be a powerful inspiration to holding that power would it not?

If your society has been based on the premise that gains are based on destruction and domination, wouldn't you just panic at the possibility of losing your position?

If you killed millions of people, destroyed cultures, languages, and made them do what you wanted; could you surrender that power knowing that...you keep what you kill?

But don't worry...its just a movie...

Right?
