#2 Have you seen the collection of rather creepy tattoos going about?

The vidoe, why do I picture a '78 Lord of the Rings knock-off, some animated hobbit/Na'vi critter all looking about anxious when a live action druid viking Greter...wait wait wait..like crystal ball fortune teller, or cards, or see what the bones say? Do people just skip the story board nowadays, or do they just powerpoint it in?

Pearl Jam so old, the album is named after a character in the animated Transformers.

#4 Got it.

Greta the Skald disembarks her schooner 78 LOTR style of the horse riders, donned in spear and magic helmet. The brandish's the Producer's Bauble of Fortune, a magic 8-ball. It goes into a supercut of Oliphants dying out.
Then a couple lines.
*ominous voice*
"You must go to the Gigaton system."
"The Gigatonne system?"
"No, the Gigaton system. There you find the Ticketmaster, Pearl Jam, the 90s Seattle Grunge who instructed me."
*fainting desperate voice*
"Greter! eeggh."

#6 Since retirement homes are closed, we use some olde VHS footage from when they could run and even jump, put some Dire Strait's Money for Nothing type graphics on them and play at 1.2x speed so we don't hear the arthritis catch up with the riffs.

#7 Put a fortune cookie at the end,
"To reach Nirvana, you must reach Kurt Kobane before the NRA does."

#8 About 2/3 of the way through,

*dramatic music fade out*

"But Master (Avatar), I thought Green Day is on our side!?"
"It would appear that way my xer/lgtqebachild, but they plotted to and made money from Maddan Football, a most diabolical toxic masculinity plot device. They are neocons skin shifters and not to be trusted, nevermore."

*Hard Guitar Hero solo*

#12 It needs a dramatic ending.
OK, Fantasia's Night on Bald Mountain type scene, only instead of mountain devil, it is a lake with dystopian steam-punk machines eating the trees into wood chips, which then get made into printed money.

Ave Greta, walks up the mountain with two river smelt perched in her cupped hands. She places them in the polluted lake and voila, the water turns clear and a Fern Gully forest sprouts and dissolves the machines. Sponge Bob rainbow, no, double rainbow, materializes.

#13 *OK, this is the point I go watch the actual deal, see how it was done by the Joshing Wokely.

Climbing out of that mind pit was two bolles of absolute Gaia worship scenery.
