Danger Diva is a 2017 film by Robert McGinley, writer/director of Shredder Orpheus. The script was initially written in 1993, finally being made and released decades later. While Shredder Orpheus focused on Classical Mythology, Danger Diva is inspired by Hindu Mythology, particularly Kali's dual positions of goddess of death and rebirth, and the divine feminine mother, Devi.The film takes place in Seattle some time in the near future, where tech moguls use brainwaves of the poor to power their machines like cattle. Devi Danger (Molly Sides of Thunderpussy) is a rock star who seems to have it all, but secretly yearns to be heard in a softer light. When a riot at her latest concert lands her in jail and on the outs with her band, especially the drummer Scattering Flynn, it seems her dreams are crushed. Enter billionaire Stanley Arkoff with an offer too good to refuse—a cybernetic implant that will enhance Devi's voice to unheard-of levels, letting her finally be seen and heard as an opera singer.But the deal's more sinister than Stanley lets on—terminally ill and terrified of dying, he needs a child to transfer his consciousness into to live forever. And with Devi's voice having just the right tones to control the masses, his plan begins. With help from Scattering, Devi must break free of the corporate brainwashing and decide what her fate will be on her own.

Wham Line: The ending of the movie reveals in a single line that Devi's child was Scattering's, not Stanley's. Shortly after, the final line of the movie reveals Stanley's consciousness may still be alive in a test tube.

People Farms: The poor, under Stanley's control, are used to power machines with their brainwaves. They're termed 'brain cattle' to the point where they even graze, and any activity they take place in is strictly VR to keep them placated.

Canon Welding: An interview confirmed the film is set in the same universe as Shredder Orpheus, with both films being set in Seattle, having the Grey Zone as a place for the poor, shared technology like hypno-pulses, Shredder actors being cast in similar roles, and sharing high-concept mythological themes.
