      They’re the reincarnation of the Horsemen, all turned 18, celebrating in Vegas, and just now slowly unlocking their powers and memories.

      It starts In petty and roundabout ways. The entire movie you hear in the background “my phone suddenly died”. Sudden trade war news causing the business men to flee who were hogging the tables. Computer in the lobby acting up like it’s diseased, and throughout the movie vending machines suddenly giving them free stuff. A kid at the salad bar having a temper tantrum suddenly craving vegetables.

      Angels show up and try to stop them. These are lingerie models of course, just getting ready to go on the catwalk with their wings and suddenly getting taken over by divine spirits.

      Various demonic entities take over casino and mob bosses. Various fights start, the four guys overwhelmed, chased by Victoria’s Secret and the mob.

      In the end, the dudes accept their destinies, and win. They drive away in a mustang leaving behind a Vegas with for sale signs everywhere.

        Let us not sully the corpus. Let his work remain unblemished. We should set it on the frisbee world. On the back of a terrapin.

      So what, like a dark comedy/horror? Maybe John Lithgow and John Larroquette as two of them?

      War starts a fight when he loses a bet, walks away with his chips in the chaos?

      Famine gets pissed at a fat person playing slots, and every time we see them in the background for the rest of the movie they’re wasting away more like Thinner?

      Pestilence gives instant super gonorrhea to a dude flirting with the waitress he likes?

      Cause I’d watch that.

        Totally. And then they spend time in an emotional repose where they talk about their lives and they just give each emotional support before riding off and bring the apocalypse.

          Yes, we are on the same wavelength here. I envisioned the ending as the “talking on the hood of the car at dawn” emotional-but-lightly-funny wrap up scene at a ranch outside the city. At the end of the conversation we pan to the city in the distance where a hellmouth opens or a nuke goes off, they give each other smirks and knowing nods, and ride off.

            One of the is the “young” horseman whose a little insecure and sad that his a recent divorcee played by some like Ben Stiller or Michael Cera. And then there’s the cool one. The guy who planned the trip. But he’s also trying too hard and at the end comes out wishing he’d become a jazz dancer and loves watching Hollywood golden era films and thinks Danny Kay is under rated. He should be played by JK Simmons or someone like that.
