Inside the 'Mormon Cinematic Universe': College Kevin’s Wildest Conspiracy Theories Yet
If you thought the Marvel Cinematic Universe was wild, wait until you meet College Kevin’s "Mormon Cinematic Universe"—a reality-defying saga that makes the Avengers look like a local book club. Welcome to the second installment of Reddit’s now-infamous "College Kevin and Mormon Theories" series, a rabbit hole of misunderstandings, conspiracies, and, yes, white short-sleeved shirts on bikes. Buckle up for a ride through the mind of a man who thinks Mormons are less a religious group and more a shadowy meta-fictional cabal worthy of their own franchise.
For those new to the madness, make sure to check out part one for the origin story. But if you’re ready for the next episode—complete with sex droughts, communist takeovers, and the kind of logic leaps that would give Indiana Jones a nosebleed—let’s dive straight in.
The "MCU": Not That MCU, The Other, Much Weirder One
So, what exactly is Kevin’s "Mormon Cinematic Universe" (MCU)? No, it’s not a blockbuster series starring Joseph Smith instead of Tony Stark. According to Kevin, the MCU is a grand fictional construct masquerading as Mormonism, and its tentacles reach everything from capitalism to communism, with a few pit stops in bizarre sexual frustration and anti-Semitic paranoia.
The original poster, u/redditlurker100000, lays out the bullet points: Kevin believed that Mormons aren’t real, but rather part of a larger conspiracy fed by “weird Christian literature.” The MCU’s primary goal? To sell the Book of Mormon for profit (because apparently, nothing says cash cow like religious pamphlets). But it doesn’t stop there—Kevin’s fever dream spirals into claims that the MCU is used by fundamentalists in a “great sexual drought,” is a Soviet recruitment tool, and—wait for it—a mechanism for emergency sterilization to prevent a Jewish-Communist takeover. Even Marvel’s most convoluted plots don’t go this hard.
As u/h4baine quipped, "He has created a meta-conspiracy to blame everything he doesn't like on every person he doesn't like no matter how disconnected from each other those groups actually are." In short: if Kevin is against it, it's the MCU’s fault, even if Mormons (allegedly) don’t exist.
Mormons: Mythical Creatures or Just Your Neighbors?
One of the most surreal parts of Kevin’s theory is the idea that Mormons simply aren’t real, like unicorns or a healthy cafeteria meal. This idea struck a chord with the Reddit crowd, especially those living in areas where Mormonism is more rumor than reality.
As u/Master-Collection488 pointed out, "When you live on the East Coast, Mormons are a people you hear and read about, and maybe see on TV once in a while... Things are very different in the Southwest." In places like Utah, Mormon missionaries on bikes (white shirts, gold name tags, and all) are a regular part of the landscape. But for Kevin and others in less Mormon-saturated locales, the lack of direct exposure seems to have paved the way for some truly creative myth-making.
Meanwhile, u/cuavas shared a charming anecdote about the only Mormon they'd met: "an old, widowed Mormon woman that I used to play cards with," who gifted Tolkien novels—a far cry from the shadowy overlords Kevin imagined.
Fact, Fiction, and the Perilous Art of Conspiracy Collage
It’d be easy to dismiss Kevin’s rants as pure nonsense, but as several Redditors pointed out, there’s a strange blend of half-truths and total fabrication going on. u/benjoholio95 noted that while Mormonism has roots in American exceptionalism and has, at times, served as a money-making venture, Kevin’s take leaps past reality into the realm of the absurd.
u/Pitiful-Pension-6535 chimed in: "It's a mix of true information and white nationalist conspiracy theories." In fact, the OP clarified that Kevin spent a lot of time with their college's "Nazi wing," which helps explain the not-so-subtle bigotry and wild ideological cross-pollination in his MCU script.
This mishmash of real-world morsels and fever-dream paranoia isn’t just comical (though it is very much that)—it’s a cautionary tale about how fringe communities can fuel one another’s delusions, especially when the only thing connecting their scapegoats is the fact that Kevin happens to dislike them.
When Conspiracies Cross the Line
Let’s be clear: Kevin’s theories weren’t just kooky—they veered into straight-up bigotry. The OP was careful to reword some of Kevin’s more hateful statements to avoid running afoul of Reddit’s rules, but the implication was clear: for Kevin, the MCU was a vessel for all his prejudices.
As u/glendon24 put it, "I'm not a fan of Mormons but I try to keep it truthful." The difference between skepticism and outright fabrication (with a generous serving of hate) is critical, and most Redditors recognized the need to call out Kevin’s bigotry even as they marveled at his creativity.
The Community Reacts: Humor, Horror, and a Touch of Sympathy
The r/StoriesAboutKevin community didn’t just gawk—they analyzed, laughed, and even offered sociological insights. Some, like u/Ex-zaviera, poked fun at Mormon stereotypes (“White short-sleeved shirts, on bikes with bike helmets”). Others like u/PaisleyRock wondered about Kevin’s origins, to which the OP replied: "all I know about them is they're from Florida and so is Kevin." Sometimes the simplest answers are the best.
And as u/GreySage2010 wryly joked, “If anyone is pro Jew AND pro communism, it's the Catholics... /s just to be clear.” Because, at the end of the day, sometimes all you can do is laugh at the sheer absurdity.
Conclusion: The MCU Saga Continues
If you’re still here, congratulations—you’ve survived another trip through College Kevin’s Mormon Cinematic Universe. Whether you’re here for the sociology, the schadenfreude, or just to marvel at the creative power of conspiracy, one thing is clear: Reddit never disappoints. And according to the OP, there’s more to come if the crowd demands it. So if you want to see how deep Kevin’s rabbit hole goes, head over to the original thread, upvote, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll get the long-awaited part three.
