We need to do our own epics... and not these wanna be Western Movies where our girls are dressing like they are going to the club with weaves when they are just going to the open market to by bread....

Seriously speaking. Netflix developed epic with great storyline and actors.

Ikenga, the god of strength and achievement, was a force to be reckoned with, flexing his biceps and holding a spear with a look of determination that seemed to convey his unshakeable will.
grin Those six fingers have AI written all over it.

Agwu, the god of health and divination, was a wise and venerable old man, with a long beard and his staff, emanating an aura of ancient knowledge and understanding.
Agwu or Morgan Freeman?

And to the devil Ekwensu, the god of chaos and trickery, was a mischievous figure with a devilish grin. He wanted you all to see his face and he was happy about it. How can the devil be happy? Lol
Ekwensu or Thomas Partey?

One thing that always baffles me in African religion is the absence of sun worship in most Sub-Saharan Africa.

The sun is not prominent in Igbo cosmology.
The moon is more revered because the moon is the first ịgbo colony before earth.
We count time using the moon.

You try but you missed a few.

Ekwensu is also a God of war.

Mami Wata is not Igbo but Edo. You should have put gills on her face not pimples.

Ekwensu is not the devil but a trickster which is Esu in Yoruba. Most cultures have that mythical god so I think there is a truth to it. Africans don’t have a concept of evil of such magnitude that the whites have with the Devil.

Trickster god balances good and evil and ensure there is a price to pay for every deed.
That African version of LOKI

It's really baffling. Sub-Saharan Africans worshipped rivers, oceans, lightning/thunder, but didn't consider the sun as anything special. Whereas, in Europe and the Americas it was a special object of worship
