#nightcrawler xmen 97

I know you're christian so if it's okay to ask:

What christian themes do you like being explored in media?

What conversations between different aspects of christianity do you wanna see portrayed?

Do you enjoy Jesus-like characters?

Are there any movies, shows, or books that reflect or represent your values and faith?

Hi Gloomybadger!

I don't mind being asked about my religion.

1.I really enjoy the themes of forgiveness being explored. The good example is Iroh and Zuko from ATLA which mirrors the Prodigal Son parable perfectly. I also love watching the trope of the power of love overcoming death.

Forgot to mention the Salvation/Redemption troupe like with Viren in The Dragon Prince. I enjoyed watching his slow redemption arc as he eventually broke free from Aaravos and found peace at the end. (Hopefully Claudia too if we get that next saga.)

2.I want to see Spiritual Warfare more in media, not just priests exorcising a demon. There are different ways to do it in the different dominations of Christianity, but the mainstream media only really shows the Catholic version.

3.I don't mind Christ-like characters as long as they are respectful. Superman is a good example. He is from the house of El, which is another name for God in the Bible. He's very powerful but humbles himself and protects those weaker than him. I also appreciate they gave Superman a weakness in Kryptonite because only Jesus is all powerful. I also love Aslan from Narnia who is literally Lion Jesus. The metaphors are beautiful.

However, I don't like it when media make characters Christ-like in blasphemous ways like Viktor from Arcane season 2. He was modeled differently in the games, using his inventions to heal people instead of his mystical powers, so the writers portrayed it like this purely for aesthetics. Then they had Viktor form a cult that destroyed the world. Very disrespectful. They wouldn't have portrayed that with a Buddha or Muhammad figure, so they shouldn't with Christ either. (But Hollywood's double standard when it comes to Christianity is a whole other can of worms.)

4.The Chronicles of Narina is an excellent source. Also Iroh and Zuko's journey in ATLA. The show is heavily inspired by Eastern religions, but it also has some Christian values it displays well. And I love how Nightcrawler, a canonical priest, is portrayed in X-men 97.

Thanks for the ask!
