Short summary
As stated in the film, the original documentary was supposed to be titled, "Roy, My Boy!" and focus on Kevin's Grandfather. The trip to shoot the documentary that would've included Jim Neece in person was cancelled due to Kevin's Daughter suffering from Lice. Sadly, Jim's passing ended up making for a better film as it drew in relatives from all sides of the Neece Family to one place to be interviewed. Jim was given top billing as his performance was an urn full of cremated ashes sitting on the table during the Funeral Sermon, front and center during the entire second act of the film, and the entire events of the film are based around him. His physical appearance can be seen in the photographs laying around the house.
Between the day that Jim Neece died and the day of Jim Neece's funeral, Kevin coped with his grief by channeling all of his efforts into making Marller Gets a Spinoff: A Certain Magical Pimpdex, and managed to write, photoshop, and edit over 3 hours 30 minutes of material. Kevin states that Jim Neece loved actor Brenda Dickerson and would've laughed at Kevin using Brenda as his stand-in during The Lost Soul scene.
In the movie, Kevin states that Jim Neece is an atheist, and that his mother privately expressed concerns that the funeral might up end like her first husband where the pastor and most of the attendees didn't really know the person they were talking about. In her own words, it was basically a "married him and buried him" funeral. His mother's suspicions prove to be a little too true as the pastor gives an elongated speech about how Jim Neece came to Jesus. Once again, Jim Neece was an atheist. They tried to rewrite his religious choice to their own liking to appeal to their own consciences about the possibility of someone as nice as him being sent to hell by the rules of their own religion. Kevin also points out, that in Dante's Inferno, the section of Hell reserved for Atheists was NOT eternal punishment, it is simply a black void of nothingness, which is what the Atheist expects Death to be anyways. Hence, they are not punished when they died, they receive exactly what they buy into.
In the Marller Gets a Spinoff: A Certain Magical Pimpdex music video segment, The Lost Soul, there's a scene where, Skuld, the Valkyrie of Fate that sends souls to Valhalla, appeals to the Gods on Jim Neece's behalf, stating that a soul as kind as him should not be eternally punished simply because he was an atheist who didn't buy into their beliefs because of his knowledge of science. In a way, Kevin psychologically reacted in almost the same manner as his relatives in the movie. They cannot bring themselves to live with the idea that a kind soul might be sent to hell simply for not believing in God, and in their own subconscious, try to rewrite the decision to their own liking.
In the beginning of the movie, Kevin confesses that his work on Bad Goddess accidentally invoked Pagan Spirits that may have brought bad luck down upon his family's heads. Director Josh Becker once described Kevin, as a true Fatalist who can only see the Glass as Half Empty and about to be smashed, rather than Half Full. All of the events that happened to Kevin swing both ways. During the writing of Bad Goddess, Kevin nearly choked to death several times which he attributed to angering the Goddesses of Fate by turning their anime series into an Offensive Shock Comedy like South Park. Kevin's first story was about Keiichi Morisato suffering a heart attack during a sex session with Belldandy. One month after writing the script, Kevin suffered the first near fatal sex injury of his fifteen year marriage to Angela when he felt the inside of his head go numb with pain, bringing him to fear he was about to die. During the Moral Dilemma incident, Kevin tried to get police help for a sexual assault victim, which ironically backfired on him when his witness was accused of covering up sexual assault allegations herself and Saul Ravencraft's show was nearly cancelled due to a slanderous phone call. Kevin comes to the conclusion that the Goddesses of Fate were teaching him a lesson about attacking people based on accusations with no proof behind them. Kevin also realizes that Saul Ravencraft had tried to put a hex on the murderer of Ebony Strange and that the irony that the person that tried to slander him was attacking people on behalf of Ebony's memory. This was Saul's spell coming back to him times three. In his own words "Sometimes you have to pick up the sword, even when it comes with consequences. Those who sit back in safety when they see another person harmed deserve neither safety nor liberty". When Kevin tried to enlist the services of Medium Reinero De Valois to look into whether Bad Goddess might have a Poltergeist curse on it, Reinero noticed that the third episode of Bad Goddess: Misrepresentations of Our Gods Through the Media, emitted a strange spiritual energy when the Viking Pagan version of the Three Norns was onscreen. Kevin accidentally invoked the real spirits that the show was based on, and they were watching his actions and causing fate to karmically react to what he does on the show. Kevin offered to shoot a documentary with Reinero De Valois at a Labyrinth Park location behind Seton Hospital in North Austin, and Reinero offered to contact the Goddesses to see if they could appeal to them to back off a little. But as Kevin got ready to do the shoot, all of his planned documentaries began to fall apart due to Bad Luck. The day before the planned documentary shoot, Kevin drove down to the Hospital to get some test shots, and repeatedly got phone calls that coincidentally wanted him to turn around and do other things. The final phone call when he got to the hospital was his wife Angela, informing him that she was having surgery at that very same hospital after the shoot and she was going to be put under. Kevin felt that the Goddesses were manipulating fate in a threatening manner to prevent him from using Reinero to invoke them on camera. In the Ah My Goddess anime series, whenever somebody tried to video record Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld in the act of using magic, Fate would cause something to coincidentally intervene to prevent them from being caught. This is called "The System Force". Kevin got a taste of what "The System Force" was like in real life when he tried to video record the Medium invoking the Norns. Reinero was completely spooked and backed out of the film as his life was in a very bad place at the moment and he might be finding himself homeless. Kevin still has the Labyrinth footage for the opening credits. The next morning, Kevin got the phone call from Robert Chaney to shoot a documentary at Lanier High School. Kevin arrived only to realize the school mascots were The Vikings. After shooting the movie, Kevin got into a dispute with Chaney over creative control and the film got pulled offline for a few months. Kevin also nearly got into a traffic accident, then went to a random Terror Tuesday screening at Alamo Drafthouse that happened to be Final Destination 2, which is about Fate causing everyone to die in a Major Traffic Accident. When Kevin's marriage came to a halt, his indian wife Angela's attitude changed almost immediately after dying her hair shock white like Urd from the anime series. Angela denied knowing who that character was. Her mother, Mary, noticed the change too, blaming witchcraft. A few months after moving out, Angela'a attitude changed back to normal and she continued to be Kevin's friend, seeing him on a weekly basis. The final blow came during the making of Marller Gets a Spinoff: A Certain Magical Pimpdex. Kevin was working on a scene that took place on the tropical island from the Ah My Goddess PlayStation 2 videogame. Only hour after completing the scene, his mother received the phone call about Jim Neece's death. Her immediate reponse was "Oh my god, he just retired. The man worked his whole life and he just retired. He didn't even live to see his first retirement check." Kevin went to Angela's apartment only to be told that Jim died on the DAY AFTER the one year anniversary of Dylan Gutierrez's suicide, which was memorialized in Bad Goddess The Keys of Marinus. The next morning, Kevin's step-sister, Genette, called and reminded them that Jim died on the exact same day as Debbie's first husband, Freddie, which also happened one month after a trip to the Bahamas. Angela's aunt also died the day after Jim. Kevin then found out that because Jim had died, his inheritance that he was to receive from Roy was to be split up amongst them, leading to a conspiracy theory that Kodansha Ltd may have been waiting for Jim to be out of the way so that Kevin would receive Roy's money, which they could then take in a lawsuit over the copyright infringement issues surrounding Bad Goddess. Kevin was previously untouchable because he was insoluble. Since Jim legitimately died of a natural heart attack, and because of all the strange serendipity and coincidences that surrounded Bad Goddess, Kevin came to the conclusion, that Kodansha's lawyers may have looked into Kevin's relatives as to whether he might inherit some seizable assets, told Fujishima to sit back and wait, and the Fujishima invoked the Norns to change Jim's fate. Kevin responded being making a Bad Goddess cartoon called Pandora's Box, which accused Kodansha Ltd of the Conspiracy, and ended with Skuld invoking the Norns to put a curse on Fujishima and his lawyers should they ever try to collect. One day after making the cartoon, Kevin suffered serious chest pains and accelerated heartbeat, as if the Fates were threatening him with his life to once again teach him a lesson. Kevin remade the cartoon and toned it down to a much sillier punishment, and his anxiety attacks disappeared almost immediately. Are these events listed really the work of witchcraft, or is Kevin psychologically imagining things and attributing these coincidences to the TV show. Kevin used to be a devout Atheist. But as seen in Danny My Boy, something has clearly spooked him to the point that he now believes in the Afterlife and the wrath of vengeful spirits. It's a total mystery, and entirely up to the audience's interpretation.
During the memorial lunch scene that happens after the Funeral, Kevin has a conversation with his step-sister Chelsea's boyfriend about Jim's conspiracy stories about his job. Back during the days when George W Bush was Governor of Texas, Jim Neece worked at an environmental agency called TNRCC (now TCEQ). According to Jim, one of their solutions they were implementing to lower pollution in Texas was to lower the speed limits to 50 mph outside the Houston area. At the last minute, Jim discovered a mistake in their math, and was hushed as the mistake was to the company's advantage. It basically gave them work to do that they were being paid for and they didn't want to mess it up. Road construction companys do this all the time, creating unnecessary work so that they don't lose money from their budgets. Jim tried to blow the whistle on his bosses to George W Bush's people, which backfired on him. They didn't care in the slightest. They told him that it didn't matter if it worked or not, they just needed it to LOOK like they were providing a solution to the general public as to help George W Bush's election chances, and if it came out AFTER the election, then it wouldn't matter anymore. Jim eventually left the company, but repeatedly told the stories to his family members because it gave him something exciting to talk about, as if it was his small claim to fame. At the funeral, one of Jim's family members told Kevin off camera that she only knew Jim from one visit in a hospital, where he claimed that the company found out what he was saying and once again legally threatened him to back off as they had his silence under contract from his work days. Jim Neece is dead now, and can no longer bear witness or provide evidence to these claims, nor can he be punished for it. Passing along his information is simply going to be secondhand information, a case of his word against theirs. The evidence of his claims is Mathematical, and Kevin doesn't have the education that Jim Neece did, nor would he know specifically what to look for if he had access to it. Having said that, Kevin Neece is NOT under contractual silence to TCEQ like Jim Neece was.
Based on Kevin's suspicions of Company Conspiracy, he went over to visit Jim's second wife Nancy, and recorded their conversation via an iPhone in his pocket (he got her permission to use it on video afterwards so that it wouldn't be declared inadmissible as evidence). Kevin's Whistleblower Theory was not entirely wrong, it was simply misplaced. Jim Neece had a second issue at his job at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. He was a Project Manager for Water Quality Planning Division. For the past ten years, he had been working on a project involving an 80 year old Factory in Galveston, TX that no longer existed. The factory chose to dispose of it's paper waste in the ocean, and it's been sitting at the bottom for 80s years, stagnant. If they attempt to move it, the Clorax Bleach used in the paper will mass dissolve into the water, possibly creating an incident in Galveston not unlike Flint Michigan. Jim advised them to leave it alone, they chose not to listen to him. Jim was planning on taking this to the Local News immediately upon his retirement, but never got that chance. He mysteriously died two days into his vacation. According to Nancy's conversation, Jim's bad health problems stemmed from nearly two decades of unhealthy eating when he was married to Debbie, BUT for the other two decades when he was with Nancy, she had him eating nothing but healthy food. Three months before he died, he went into the Emergency Room at Seton Hospital on 38th Street in Austin, TX for a prostate issue. During his checkup, nothing was mentioned about his heart. He was perfectly fine. The Neece Family DOES have an issue with Heart Conditions, but nothing suggested it was going to happen to Jim right then and there. What we have here is a mystery. It feels like we have a bunch of motives, but we don't have a murder, what we have is a man that died of Natural Causes. Is it all really a coincidence.
According to Kevin, the closest he's come to seeing Jim Neece portrayed in a hollywood movie was Rip Torn's fictional character as the father in Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered. The similarities are coincidental, but shockingly amusing, as the film was released during the year that Kevin's parents got divorced.
The only live action feature film that Kevin Neece has shot outside the city limits of Austin, Texas (the film takes place in Saginaw, Texas). Kevin refuses to travel outside the city limits by himself as he needs a navigator to give him directions so he can focus on driving. Kevin has lost out on more than a few filmmaking opportunities because of this.
