"Marvel Jesus"? Some Say New Deadpool Movie is Blasphemous

ether_ore

Just more pointing out motes instead of removing beams. It’s not like the church doesn’t have enough work to do on their own house. And please…it’s Deadpool for the love of Mike!

Pastor George Day

I believe this is pure blasphemy and, like the guy said in the video, mockery of God comes with a high price.

Douglas R. Reynolds

That Jesus remark was in the trailer, so what were they expecting. Have they not seen the ladt two Deadpool movies? This some Christian fundamental trying to make something out of nothing.

Rev Ned

Some people are not happy unless they have something to complain about. Let them bask in their self righteousness.

Quinn R Amaro

Ryan Reynolds, regardless of if having a female wife, has long been known to be bisexual and does favor having sex with men as he is a "giving" Bottom-Verse. You could easily ask the children of Ryan Reynolds and his wife. He had made himself to be a savior for Marvel, is more interested in making money, and had no qualms about having sex with men. So you tell me: If that is not demonic then neither is it demonic to murder a group of people, which includes children, am I correct?

Melaine Rae Thompson

They have either never watched the first two Deadpool movies or they just figured they would get their 5 minutes of internet fame. Deadpool is known for being irreverent.

Patti Anne Lisenbee

I think a lot of Right Wing Nuts deliberately go to these types of things to BE offended. They WANT IT. That way they can claim a "crown" for being persecuted when they die and go to "heaven." Won't they be surprised when they die and nothing is there but eternal deadness!

Deadpool is comedy wrapped in making fun of EVERYTHING. If you've watched the other movies, nothing is excluded from being made fun of. Yes it's violent, but that's how it's written to be. does that make it real? NO. It's FICTION.

Just like religion. Pure fiction. Written almost a hundred after the events in a manner as if they were eyewitnesses. You see this type of writing style all the time, it's common. And the stories were retold over and over for hundreds of years before being written down. so you have the telephone game here. Plus it was edited, re-edited, re-translated, given to kings and popes to add or subtract what they desired. Then re-translated, re-written, re-edited over and over and over. You can't know what's "original" about it. Thousands of mistakes in translation perpetuated over and over. Additions of what others want in it. Subtractions of what they don't want. All-in-all, not at all reliable.

If you're going to watch Deadpool and Wolverine to be persecuted, then DON'T go. It's not for you. If you don't like religion for all it's mistakes and lies and contradictions, then don't be religious. Just be you and don't fret about the rest.

Anna P Zabala

If the name is what they are saying is so wrong then I have a problem with that. Jesus is a very common name in the Latin community. Are they all wrong or are they naming the children according to their personal wishes and after beloved family members? Perspective is everything in this instance. Remember people, this is make believe and not real! Who, in their right mind, is going to think that this movie has anything to do with reality. Come to think of it, if they think that this movie is wrong then where do we draw the line? Do we interfere with other religions because they don't go along with what we believe? Are a different color? Dress differently? Where do YOU draw the line? This is what all of this is about. Not everyone believes in the same thing, the same way, or even at all sometimes. Get over it people, this is just a movie!

Sherryl Lee Shearouse

Seriously?! I am a Christian and ordained Minister. This movie and the reference to Jesus is just pure entertainment. Using "Jesus Christ" in a cursing manner is more Blasphemous than calling oneself Marvel Jesus. If you don't want to hear this then don't go see the movie. There are worse things to worry about then that.

Julia Christina Bates

i'll tell you what is not fiction.....there is a woman who goes by the social media name of that vegan teacher who is clamming that vegans are better than God .

James Pace

If you take anything that Ryan Reynolds says in one of his movies seriously, you've missed the point. Secondly, if you're spiritual beliefs are so fragile, that a joke in a movie offends you, grow up. Third, seriously, get a sense of humor.

Geoffrey C. Olive

What have Deadpool and religions got in common? They are all fiction!

Rev. Michelle Love

I had to Google this clip to see what the uproar was about and the statement Deadpool made was "I am the Messiah; I am Marvel Jesus". Knowing that the word Messiah means savior, I believe that Deadpool was making a joke about how he was resurrecting the Marvel Universe five years after Avengers: Endgame supposedly brought an end to the series. There is nothing demonic or blasphemous about this comment. If anything, I think the reference to Jesus was supposed to help give context to people who may not really know what the name Messiah means as a lot of terms in the Bible have been grossly misinterpreted. I do not recall people people in the 80's throwing a tantrum when Queen sang that Flash Gordon was the Savior of the Universe in movie's theme song. Maybe that was because there was no internet where people could display the mountains they made out of molehills.

Michael Jerome Johnson

Deadpool and Wolverine torqued the Super Christian’s’ Wa?

Good!

More of that, please?!

We need more things to upset their complacency

William I. Hegeman

The Unpardonable Sin 28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— 30 because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Let us Pray. One cannot recieve the Holy Spirit unless they have accepted Jesus as their Savior.

What you do with your temple Body and spirit which houses your soul and the Holy Spirit, not acting in according the Holy Spirit and the commands your Lord and Savior have given you. LOVE everyone!

Deadpool is funny! Hypocritical Christians are not funny. Albeit, they are to be pitied. They have damned themselves to ever lasting damnation.

This statement is in 2 of the other Gospels.

Instead of the outrage for deadpool, use it against those who wish to abuse people with government. Those who misuse this sentiment Mark 3:28-29. Love not Hate. Fix not destroy, Evolve not de-evolve. Think thoroughly instead of being lead by decievers. Phillipians 2:18. Romans 13:10.

And why, I a pagan, have to share scripture to christians to be christ like. I don't act on faith. I act on what I know. I'm a mystic. I do believe in 2 things, Life and Love, and that means I must have Truth in equillibrium/harmony with Life and Love. This begets Integrity. I have one irrational faith, that my faith informs the above principles. I have faith that humanity will evolve for the better. I pray that the circumstances will be gentle.I am prepared if it isn't.

May you be blessed in your path with creator and creation. May you find joy, peace and contentment along that path.

Dear Religious Fanatics. We have bigger problems in the world than to argue over a fictitious movie. I know some of you will say it is encouraging and brain washing our country. But can that also be said of you.

Patricia Law

so tired of Christians being offended by everything! Grow up!

Grand Poobah M

Hollyweird is a huge cesspool anyway. You can find anything in movies to be offended by, be my guest and social media away. I'll watch it for the entertainment value.

Lee Ramos

Why are we so sensitive as a generation. Jesus when was going to the cross was being call every name under the book and spit and even hit did not even say anything. What did He do. He prayed for them. That's it

David M Hines

Really? You’re expecting DEADPOOL to be something other than DELIBERATELY offensive and outrageous? Did you understand which movie you were going to see when you bought your ticket? You misread Deadpool and thought it said Bambi?

This is the kind of thing that gives religion a bad name.

William Petrizzi

If your faith is so fragile that a superhero movie can damage it,then maybe you should reexamine your faith. All of the complaints about this and the Olympics opening ceremony reminds me of that saying about those who pray where they can be seen.

Joy

Oh FCOL. Then don’t watch rated R movies if you are so fragile about your own faith. With everything going on in the world THIS is what Christians focus in on?

(That’s for crying out loud because I didn’t want to offend anyone with FFS) 🤦‍♀️🤣

Raymond A Hafner

I have believed that the opening of the Olympics is Blasmathous from the beginning Also how the Olympics could allow a man to fight a woman and call it sports For had not God created Eve from Adam's rib so that he would take her under his arm and protect her I believe that we are in a war of good versus evil and at this point seem to be losing But God in his mercy is showing us the way to goodness and mercy but also telling us to stand up for our faith 🙏

Bridget Kielas-Fecyk

And yet, these SAME individuals screaming foul about Deadpool..... have absolutely NO problem with the fact Trump is, literally, comparing himself to Jesus. These individuals screaming foul about Deadpool, are the same ones who are making memes of Trump up on the cross claiming he is their "new savior."

Damn hypocrites.

John Condron

The producers and investors behind the Deadpool & Wolverine movie would like to take this moment to thank the right-wing nutcases who are working so hard to promote their movie.

Of course Deadpool is "blasphemous." That is a key part of the appeal of the character. Anyone who chooses to see this movie knows exactly what they will see, and are simply cogs in the well-oiled Xian outrage machine.

One last point. The entire concept of "blaspheming" against an all powerful god is silly.

John Alex Paxson

Movies are pretend ... please do not get upset ... (considering the types of movies that are out today.)

Nicholas J Page

Marvel films are for entertainment not real superheros if you are offended by it simple solution don't watch it let's worry if WW 3 is on its way.

Colleen McAllister

I am not that interested in the movie but surely that type of movie is not for kids. Did you not see the rating. And please remember that the name Jesus is not holy in itself. I have known a few men named Jesus. A rather common name thru history. Bad taste, probably. Blasphemy, nope.

Reverend Paula Copp

For the love of the creator! It’s a flipping movie. If you don’t like leave, which is what these people did. Methinks the christians doth protest too much…

Matthew Mastrogiovanni

They're offended about a comedy, but not about pedophile priests or convicted felon Trump? Poor priorities Xtians.

Rev. Dr. Father JJ

what the hell are good kkkris chins doing watching a movie that has massive amounts of blood, shooting, stabbing, killing, foul language and sexual innuendo??

well of course, it's all about kkkristofascist hypocrisy. they go to see an R rated and they complain about mockery? anyone want to bet that this is intentional on their part, part of a greater kkkristofascist agenda where they are all out now looking for something to be offended about, pushing hard into that kkkristofascist nationalist dominionist theocracy. it appears kkkristofascists will do anything, say anything and lie about anything to try and force their agenda down the throats of regular americans. shame on them

Robert James Ruhnke

Can’t have a falling leaf in the woods anymore without a right wing Christian calling out blasphemy on it these days. What am I talking about, complaining about made up phantasms has been a right wing Christian tradition since the orthodox Christians started murdering Gnostics all those centuries ago.

Daniel Gray

Now this is just a lot of boohaha over nothing. There are far worse things to worry about now then this, for instance Iran has threatened to attack Israel with Jordan and Syria and quite a few other countries around them, and if they request our help we as a co signer of a mutual protection treaty, MUST give it to them in Short WW3. Same this if NATO allows the Ukraine to join and Russia attacks it after that, WW3 as all of NATO now must go after Russia. So if you dont like the movie then dont go see it, but again there are far more things to worry about then a movie.
