The scene has exploded in the last few months, and while Spelunky demigod Kinnijup has racked up most of the new records—they hit $5,534,700 last week—others sense blood in the water, and this part of the community has become as fierce and competitive as it's ever been.

Justin Verlander, acquired in the last seconds before the trade deadline, pitched like a vengeful demigod from the moment he arrived; other starting pitchers ably filled gaps in the bullpen during the playoffs; and all the hitters in the lineup who mattered hit a bit better than they had before.

As Ascians, Elidibus and his cohorts have painstakingly worked to bring back their people—whom they see as the only truly sentient beings—and restore what was theirs by enacting genocide throughout the different shards to gather enough aether to re-summon Zodiark, the demigod his faction viewed as its salvation.

Though his freedom from the (relatively luxurious) indentured servitude of team control and limited contract arbitration is still three years away, Bryce Harper's demigod skill set and unreal offensive production at such a young age has anonymous team executives and vested agents suggesting he could become baseball's first half-billion-dollar free agent.

Moana's grandmother, the human equivalent of that mystical old chanting tree in Pocahontas, knows the cause of this curse: It all goes back to Maui (PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive 2016 Dwayne Johnson), demigod of wind and sea, and his betrayal of Te Fiti, who outranks him as a full-fledged nature goddess.

Warhammer 40K was initially a game about faceless hordes of enemies which evolved to include named heroes with elaborate backstories and, finally, nearly demigod level heroes like the recently returned (with shiny new miniature and crazy rules) Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines—the poster boys for Games Workshop's most iconic franchise.

A vocal cheerleader for Moana (and, let's face it, pretty much every project in which Johnson, a canny self-promoter, is involved), he was a driving force for the film both offscreen and on, providing the voice for the demigod Maui and repeatedly highlighting Moana's cultural heritage during the movie's promotional tour.

A demo called "Unstoppable" tells the legend of Maui, the Polynesian demigod, in a spoken-word cadence that can now only be described as Hamiltonian: "Abandoned by his parents and raised by the gods/Who could see he was destined for greatness," Mr. Miranda begins, against a polyrhythmic clatter of gourds and log drums.

The "galaxy" skin, which makes players look like a glowing demigod, requires jumping through an expensive hoop; it's only unlocked by playing three rounds of Fortnite on a Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 phone, which will cost you at least $1,9, or Galaxy Tab S4 tablet, which is only slightly cheaper in its Wi-Fi only form at $650.

Adding to the studio's stable of multicultural princesses (although the title character points out she's merely the daughter of a chief), the movie begins and ends strongly, which should compensate for a flat stretch in the middle that, not coincidentally, is right around the time when the demigod known as Maui, voiced by Dwayne Johnson, shows up.

For the next decade Prince would be the pop demigod the world mourns today, a prolific, hard-touring, reclusive cash machine who spent every spare minute laying down tracks in his Paisley Park compound—when he wasn't dreaming up movie concepts or bringing the gift of orgasm to bevies of darling Nikkis in his erotic city.

He said that it was because Truman had "fired" Douglas MacArthur, and the Army in WW2 practically worshiped MacArthur as a demigod... But in the late 1960's, I got him to read a chapter in one of the Truman biographies I had read which dealt specifically with the issues and events that led to that.

An act that involves diving through hoops is done on a giant treadmill placed on a turntable; a waterfall splashing down the center of the stage is beautiful on its own, but its spouts can also be orchestrated at such a minute level that it's as if some demigod hiding in the rafters is shaping the liquid.

Gore Vidal, in his 1992 novel, "Live from Golgotha," made sport of the notion of television coverage of the Crucifixion, as the kind of thing that would happen only in contemporary America, but in truth Jesus' body was hardly cold, or gone, before the apostle Paul, in a single generation, had made the desert rebbe into a demigod.

Emerging at an ancient 33 in a sober haircut and dark suit, he played the worldly-wise yet spiritual ladies man to a poetry-curious audience of hirsute hippies whose idea of free love was let's-spend-the-night-together—where Stephen Stills was a blond demigod who fucked lots of chicks, Cohen was a jaded roué who bedded lots of women.

Though Aronofsky did not veer into clear harassment of his actor, this dichotomy echoes the underlying sentiment behind the incidents of abuse during the filming of Dancer in the Dark and The Shining, and how they were received by the press — the idea that, ultimately, creating these traumatic conditions was within the rights of the director as demigod, and worth it given the art that emerged.

They believe this experience earned them the right to declare themselves a "savant" of the dance music community, and the demigod of everything techno (which they'll giddily pronounce as "tesh-no," because they believe it makes them sound like a well-versed insider.) They claim to be from Miami with "spiritual roots" in Tulum, but they actually still live at home in their parents' basement in Daytona Beach.

Read our review Nominated for: Animated Feature, Original Song ("How Far I'll Go") The daughter of a Polynesian island chief (don't call her a princess) sets off on a quest to save her village and culture from a mythical force, with assistance from a demigod voiced by Dwayne Johnson and an unhelpful chicken sidekick, and everyone occasionally bursts into songs co-written by Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda.
