Mad God is a horror film that began life as an ongoing series of online videos, hence being categorized as a "Web Video" here. It was created by Phil Tippett, a Stop Motion animator who has worked on Jurassic Park, the original Star Wars trilogy, and RoboCop, among many others. It tells the story(?) of a mysterious gas-masked, coated figure, called The Assassin in the paratext, traveling through a nightmarish underworld.Tippett began design and concept work on Mad God back in 1990, but for budgetary reasons, it didn't get off the ground until 2010, with a successful Kickstarter campaign launched by Tippett Studio. The first episode went online in 2013, and since then, two more episodes have been made. Each episode could be downloaded from the website at a small fee.It was eventually made into a feature length film using the first 3 episodes and 60% new footage, which was given a limited festival and theatrical release in 2021. In 2022, it was released to streaming on the platform Shudder. Later that same year, it had a BluRay release, featuring a commentary track from Tippett and Guillermo del Toro. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Sometimes literally; see Electric Torture below. The setting of Mad God is an unholy, post-apocalyptic World Gone Mad that has no logic or reason to it. Transforms into a Crapsack Universe when we see in a montage on some strange, all consuming black hole sending 2001-esque monoliths to multiple planets and each one causing some sort of unholy destruction/chaos wherever they go. | |

Ambiguously Human | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_225d8ff9 | comment |
Ambiguously Human: The Assassin looks human at first glance, but when he is vivisected, he turns out to be anything but human; he has no organs in him, just objects like coins, pearl necklaces, books, and a worm-like larva, possibly indicating "he" is just a sort of Wetware Body or Meat Puppet piloted by the larva. We then find out that he is just one of many others of his kind sent down to this mad world by a man referred to as The Last Man. Notably, each Assassin completely towers over The Last Man, with a map almost the size of his body being easily held with one hand by an Assassin. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A statue of the cyclops from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad appears in the first episode, along with what seems to be ED-209 from RoboCop (1987). The latter may be more of a Creator Thumbprint, since ED was very much Tippett's own creation, while the cyclops is more of a conventional homage to stop motion legend Ray Harryhausen. On the audio commentary, Tippett talks about seeing that cyclops as one of the defining moments of his life. The black monoliths are straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. | |

Eternal Recurrence | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_d8f3dc8 | comment |
Eternal Recurrence: Assassins keep being created by the Last Man and sent into the ruined world with bombs apparently intended to destroy it, but each one fails and gets vivisected, at which point the next Assassin is created and the cycle begins all over again. | |

Gas Mask, Longcoat: The Assassin dresses like this. All of the Assassins do. | |

No Antagonist | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_e0aed924 | comment |
No Antagonist: It's a world of horrific monsters, but few of them really pay the "protagonist" any mind and most are just trying to get by in a ruined world. Even the twisted scientists who capture the Assassin can be interpreted as a Necessarily Evil since they harvest his remains to create new universes. | |

Hell | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_e54326a2 | comment |
Hell: A popular interpretation of where this movie is set, and backed up by Tippett crediting medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch as his biggest influence. If it's not the literal Hell, it's certainly a lot like Hell. | |

Pinball Protagonist | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_eadc018f | comment |
Pinball Protagonist: The Assassin is on his mission to deliver the bomb behind enemy lines, that's it. He makes no effort to impact the strange, ruined world he passes through. | |

War Is Hell | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: A possible interpretation of what the hell is going on; it's all representative of the hellish, self-perpetuating, pointless, industrialized, and dehumanizing nature of war and all of its myriad of aspects. As described by one reviewer, "In its abstract madness it presents the nightmare of what war does. Nobody is human. Only monsters exist". | |

Talking Poo | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_f4647a5f | comment |
Talking Poo: Well, not talking, but one sequence features a city where all the labour is done by what appear to be golems made out of poop. Supplementary material refers to them as "Shit-Men". | |

Forever War | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_fbb54ba6 | comment |
Forever War: The post-apocalyptic world the Assassin journeys through is one endless warfare on every level of "society" (if it can be called that) fought seemingly just for its own sake, with all the horror that comes with it. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Mad God (Web Video) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Very short-lived, The "Mad Nurse" handles the baby delicately enough to calm the crying worm-baby, and she protectively steps back when the Alchemist first approaches her to take it. It resumes crying as soon as it leaves the Nurse's arms. | |
