Was Irv a god?


When his apparently deceased wife came to see him on the beach, she spoke about giving him time to sow his wild oats. Was that Hera talking to Zeus? Plus all his "oracling", helping the old man with the walking frame, setting up the romance and - last but not least - his stamina with the 2 Spanish women. Discuss.

When it came to his beach scene, with his wife, I actually expected us, the audience, to learn that he is, in fact, a god. But alas, we were never told. I actually like to believe he may have been an actual god, but in disguise.

I wonder if the writer toyed with the idea of including a scene where we find out, or at least have hints, that he is a god. Maybe they did write one, they filmed it, but it got cut. Most likely not, though.

his stamina with the 2 Spanish women.

Not a god. He used common sense and intelligence to perform the miracles and irv-a-cal advice.

When he met his wife on the beach, it's because he was close to dying and meeting up with her again permanently.

buy irv didn't die, he went to a hospital and it appeared at the end that he would be ok.

Very good analogy.

I liked the idea that he may have been a greek god, but this was such a typical rom com that they just couldn't have been able to go with that idea.

Irv is Zeus. Here is the body of evidence. He joked at the piano about being god. After the blessing, Barnaby didn't have to use a walker. If you remember your mythology, Zeus and Hera fought constantly. Irv makes it quite clear that he and Elinore argued a lot. Zeus was known to appear on Earth to traffic with human women. terry-f-graham, you are correct.
