It's not like he's committing hate crimes against anyone, it's just a photo using symbolisms from a religion. Just because it means something to a group of people who practice it doesn't mean others have the same feelings lmao. Religion is not beyond mockery, criticism, or ridicule no matter how people feel about it. Regardless of whether the photo is pretentious and tacky or not, it's not "wrong." Most people don't think it's "wrong."Β I think most poeple who don't like it just think it's tacky. Like, I have no problem with people using religion as a form of artistic expression, but this whole religious angle they're doing with the Snyder Cut feels very pretentious IMO. ππ πͺπ π¦ π¨ππ£π π π€πππππ£, π ππ π¦ππ ππππ πͺπ π¦ ππππππ§π Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song was called Judas and literally lyrics were iT, the movie isnt called The Passion of the Joker (Christ) and I bet it has nothing to do with religious imagery unlike Judas (which from title alone>>) imo its 2 different things.

Β It is not only about controversy imo, it is more about how it is normal to use Christ poses/imagery but nobody uses other religions because it would cause sh*storm and is quite tacky as well if you disregard my previous statement.

HosedDownGypsy 2,506 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yall might say this is no big deal who cares, but henny the christians literally took down Gagas career after judas only to bring her back when she started singing about the Lord showing her the way. People get canceled over wearing a headdress wich is a religeous artifact of a religion practiced by barely anyone these days, and yet its respected. Now imagine offending something sacred toΒ one of the biggest religions on the world. These things are personalΒ and will stay controversial for a long time. If it should or shoudnt be is a different question. RAIN ON ME Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicHot 6,438 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I mean, no offense to Jared (because it's probably not 100% HIS idea) but this is obviously for shock value.

PEZ 6,088 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have a hard time getting into these increasingly dark and gritty superhero/supervillain films. I can see how that feels like a nice change of pace for fans every once in a while from the goofy/silly Adam West kind of Batman, but the darkness and grittiness keeps escalating until it's overbearing imo Pre-Dark Knight Trilogy, if you asked me if I could picture the Joker posing as Jesus in a serious, non-ironic way, I'd laugh and say no, but here he is β‘π² Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just think using such religious imagery and symbolism to represent a mediocre (at best) movie is so weird. I have no problem with artists and filmmakers using religion as a means of inspiration, but between this, the "Hallelujah" music in the first trailer, and with the general Snyder Cut fandom treating this movie as if it's the second coming of Jesus, I just really dislike it tbh.Β If it works out, hey, good for them, but I honestly cannot see this movie being much better than the first one. ππ πͺπ π¦ π¨ππ£π π π€πππππ£, π ππ π¦ππ ππππ πͺπ π¦ ππππππ§π Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
