The Locked Tomb is like what if God was actually scared shitless of Jesus because if Jesus ever got out of that tomb it would mean a biblical asskicking for God

"Problematic media doesn't reflect the morality of the author" "Problematic media does not have real world consequences"

I disagree

I'm NOT talking about stuff that is depicted as bad in-universe. Also you're not a bad person if you like problematic media unless it's Fu Manchu levels of bad.

Authors' biases are reflected in their work. Mel Gibson's antisemitic remark "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Are you a Jew?" during his 2006 DUI arrest wasn't surprising given the critiques of antisemitism in his film Passion of the Christ, the movie depicts the Jewish people as being bloodthirsty and ugly people who are to blame for the Crucifixion

As for the real word consequences, The Tailhook Scandal where Military officers committed assault and harassment in the U.S Navy's Tailhook Symposium. Investigators found that they were influenced by Top Gun which made them see the military as being like a party. It's worth noting there's a scene in the movie where Maverick follows Blackwood into the bathroom even after she's rejected him.

It's important to consider the impact that media can have on people as well as how they reflect the author's viewpoint.

My mind drew a blank yesterday due to kickstarting a bunch of commissions the night before. So what do I do?

One-up on Catholic/Christian films... again... and make them Jew-y. 

I know this scene is suppose to take place in the mid-spring, but I placed the scene in early winter (hence the lit menorah). Not only did I do that as a call back to Yehoshua's culture and Jewish heritage (yes, he observed Hanukkah; gospels took place four generations after the Maccabean revolt), but also a big "fuck you" to both the far right and far left. 

The tallit was tricky to do, though... Traditionally, you have a scripture in the middle of the shroud and it should be placed over the head of the person as they pray. I'm not used to playing with Hebrew scripts in Photoshop since it upgraded, but this was good practice. 

P.S. Don't tell Mel Gibson... You can show this to Jim, but don't tell Mel.
