God, also referred to as The Idol, is the overarching antagonist of Alberto Vazquez's 2nd full-length animated feature film Unicorn Wars.
It is a malicious god-like entity that, during the events of the movie, had yet to evolve, and only could do so when sacrifices are brought to its altar in the ruins of a church. While it is initially built up to be the all-powerful god of the teddy bears, which they had hoped to reawaken under the instructions of a rewritten prophecy, it is revealed towards the end of the movie that this entity is actually the god-like leader of the Simians, an evil race of monkey-like beings that had sought to have the forest destroyed, kill all that resided in it, and become its new leaders.
Appearance[]
Before its evolution, God appeared as a massive dark lump of flesh with tones of red made up of all of those that have been killed in the magical forest with a single eye. It also had a large gaping mouth with bits of itself dripping from the sides of it.
In many depictions of it in the teddy bear's religion, implied to be a corruption of the Simians' scripture, it is usually represented either by a heart shape, or by an item with a single almond-shaped eye.
Upon evolution however, it assumes its true form, appearing more humanoid in shape. Like its recruits, it also appears as a shadowy figure, and has white glowing eyes.
Biography[]
Past[]
God had apparently created the Magical Forest and all that resides in it, though according to the myths told amongst the teddy bears, God created the forest in its own image, and chosen the teddy bears to be its rightful owners, and therefore the supreme race. After the teddy bears had supposedly obtained newfound knowledge from a sacred book found in an abandoned church, the unicorns were supposedly jealous, and attacked the teddy bears. The myths also claim that once the teddy bears kill all of the unicorns, and reclaim the Magical Forest, God will once again return, and grant the one who kills the last unicorn eternal power and beauty.
Unicorn Wars[]
This entity doesn't play an active role in a majority of the movie, though it is brought up many times all throughout. Pleasing this God also serves as the primary motive for many of the teddy bears, specifically Bluey (who wishes to obtain godhood himself) and the Father (who strictly follows the moral code told in the bible), and the mythology surrounding it is taken advantage of by figures such as Colonel Otto, who perpetuates a fabricated version of the mythology, claiming that the unicorns had taken the forest from the teddy bears, and that the god created the teddy bears in its image.
God first appears in the movie's prologue, which occurs after Sergeant Ironstroke's squad, now under the leadership of Coco, kills Maria's mother. Following this, Maria is led by a voice that sounds like that of her mother's to the ruins of a church, where she meets up with a giant lump of flesh, made up of all of the sacrifices that the Simians had made. Once the entity reveals itself, it chases Maria across the ruins, devouring some of the Simans along the way before the film cuts to the title sequence.
God makes its second and final appearance in the ending, ultimately proving the prophecy to be mostly false. Instead of granting Bluey godhood and eternal beauty as the prophecy promised, after the war that he had started destroyed the magical forest, followed by Bluey killing Tubby and Maria, Maria's body then transforms into the blob-like being from the prologue, and chases Bluey across the dead landscape before consuming Maria, Tubby, and then Bluey. Afterwards, God takes on a much more humanoid appearance, and the movie ends with the Simians following in its footsteps in the dead, blood-soaked landscape of the now destroyed forest.
Trivia[]
- According to Alberto Vázquez, the God-like figure in the film was meant to symbolize what war, and violence in general, does to a society, and the damage it can cause. In his words, it is "a prologue and an epilogue. It’s serving as a metaphor for what what’s coming later. The monster for me is a God without a form, a God adored as a leader, but a God that’s still yet to evolve. When the end comes, the God takes form, and the prophecy of the book of the bears is fulfilled. It’s a magical, mysterious element that’s there to reinforce the concept [of what violence does to a society]." [1]
- A common interpretation of God is that it is a representation of humanity in general. The fact it consumes both Tubby and Bluey specfically and finally evolves afterwards is often cited as evidence for this, with Tubby representing humanity's empathy and kindnesss, and Bluey representing humanity's hostility and hatred.
