Nothing can be a parody unintentionally, without the intent to subvert and/or ridicule a genre or source material, it's just something absurd. This is not an example of the comic book superhero genre being held up to ridicule, it's just an example of religion employing the superhero trope in a ridiculous way. However, religion and superheroes are equally ludicrous. Parody can only exist if there is a form being mimicked or imitated for comic or satirical effect. I'm certainly unfamiliar with the religious comic book superhero trope, so I fail to see how this could be a parody. Two of the most overused and misunderstood terms used to describe comedy are satire and parody. I'd have understood if you'd said it was beyond parody, i.e. so loony you couldn't hold it up to any more ridicule, but to describe as a parody suggests that you do not understand what parody really is. It is not necessary to be familiar with a parody's source material to find it humorous, but obviously one can't fully appreciate the humour and intent without that context. Few people I know get the fact that the song from Team America 'everybody has AIDS' is a parody because they aren't familiar with what's being parodied, but they still find it funny.

It's been said before, and no doubt will be said again. Apologies. I just like words, and get a bit precious when they are misused. It debases language, and the point of language is to communicate effectively. The misuse of words leads to ineffectual communication.

You assume that I'm on B3ta for effectual communication.
I assure you that I'm not.

but that's precisely why you're a cunt
And people don't like communicating with you. You make it overly complex to the point where you are self deprecating.

'the point of language is to communicate effectively'
While some modernist philosophers (who looked to the simplicity of logic) - and the linguists who wished their language was as ordered as the dead language of Latin - viewed language to be aimed at effective communication,
others like Marx, Freud, Nietsche and the poststructuralists showed that language (if we can view it at all as intentional) does not have any such teleology. Language can be used for power, for our unconscious desires, to abscure, to create, to discipline, to confuse.
The 'point' of language is therefore 'play'.

I know you are taking the piss and you precisely knew what I've meant
I've read The Sublimes by Yuri Mamleyev, I have a very mixed feelings about it. I think you were asking me about it half a year ago.

this only holds true if meaning is located in the intention of the author
Ever since Freud this has been known to be false.Therefore all parody is unintended by the author or no parosparody exists.
