Legion is such an underrated action/horror film. I consider it a cult classic along the lines of Dredd where both movies deserved so much better and felt ahead of their time in many ways.

@piterpraker3399 Жыл бұрын

Ehhhhhhh. Dredd is great. This was...something. The idea that humans could even hold a candle to angelic forces is laughable. They're practically elemental destruction - fragments of God's will - they're powerful enough to fully redefine the space around them. Looking at them, touching them, and probably thinking too hard about them while they're present will either drive you to insanity or fully detach your soul from this plane. They can't be physically interacted with unless they restrain themselves. In actual combat, they wouldn't even be comprehended; probably not even perceived. The metaphorical line at the gate of heaven would just get very very long at a hilarious rate.

My favorite scene in the movie was the fight between Michael and Gabriel. More importantly how Gabriel wasn’t evil at all, but just blindly following God. He would do that if it meant killing his brother. You can even see him tear up after he stabbed him. Gabriel learns his lesson after Michael returns and tells him that while Gabriel was doing by God’s word, it was Michael who was doing by God’s spirit.

There are different types of angles. Watchers archangels and lesser angels etc. the only ones we hear of in the Bible are the ones that show up in “a fair form” as to not terrify the human they show themselves to but outside of that they’re basically beyond our comprehension so that makes them naturally terrifying by default

@mephInc 9 ай бұрын

It should be noted that Genesis 8:21 can be interpreted as God only promising to not destroy the world through the use of specifically a flood. "neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done." (KJV).

The only issue I have with stories like this one is that they ignore the way God promised to end the world. Rescue the faithful, then after a time burn the world. It also ignores Jesus, his sacrifice, and his relationship with humanty. I know it's a movie, it just rubs me the wrong way. An interesting way to do this would have been to imply that God had already come for the faithful, but there were so few that nobody noticed their absence, and that this was the end God said would happen. But theology always goes up in smoke when it's written by nonbelievers. Again, it's just a movie, and an OK one at that. I just want some logical consistency.

Niyat! Please do a video series on Asmodeus (Tobi) from the Paranormal Activity series! I just finished watching all of them, and really thought the fact that Tobi is a crucial plot point in all of the movies, and a really sinister force that would make for a great FCE video since he connects all the movies together :) Love ALL your work! Always enjoy watching each new video you post!

I wish Dominion hadn't been cancelled because I always wanted to know what Lucifer thought of God essentially deciding he was right all along. What demons were doing since Angels had essentially taken over their jobs, etc.

I'd love to see you cover Brotherhood of the Wolf, it's an epic movie loosely based on The Beast of Gevaudan a legend of a monster in 18th century France. It's got pretty much everything a Monster, a Hunter, a Whore House, Secret Spies, a Government Cult, Incest oh and Kung Fu. One of my all-time favorites.

Cuz His mercy is from everlasting to everlasting there's no end, the problem with the world is full vain pride, selfishness, and others vanities, God will never forsake a child(person that doesn't really understand right or wrong) who doesn't know Him yet, God just wants you to come home to Heaven, and God takes no pleasure in seeing the wicked dying, He wants all mankind to repent and enter Heaven, that's why He sent His Son to carry all your sins and sacrifice Himself for you

@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement Жыл бұрын

@@TheCrusaderJohns Everlasting mercy huh? Where was that everlasting mercy back in Eden? God effectively set Adam and Eve up for a self fulfilled failure scenario, especially by allowing the snake to act with impunity. What about the time when God brutally ripped and tore away everything Jobe had in his life, just to win a bet against the Devil? Or what about the Time God told Abraham to literally take his own son to a mountain summit and ritualistically sacrifice him in the name loyalty? 'God created humanity in their own image.' By the logic of that statement, God is the reason for our pride, greed and sin for God imposed such glaring flaws upon us. With all that in mind, let's not forget the fact that Jesus was conceived by God LITERALLY CUCKING HIS MOTHER. Yeah, real merciful. Lmao.
