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.

Also in the lore of Legion, in the continued series Dominion it wasn't a flood that wiped out mankind but a group of angels led by a blood thirsty Michael who was stopped by his brother and sister Gabriel and Uriel.

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). Which means other methods of humanity being destroyed are on the table, such as Paul Bettany coming down from heaven and wielding a bunch of cool guns.

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.

@@alexmaurice4274 Yeah they were setting up for Lucifer to be an Antagonist scheming things and possibly Gabriel working with him. They were seemingly going to include God himself to appear to aid Michael's quest.

I used to always watch this movie every time it came up

Percy and Kyle's conversation on the roof was awsome. My favorite part of the movie

Ive gotta say FCE this might be my favorite video you’ve done so far! I loved how you incorporated scenes from Noah. Im definitely looking forward to any future uploads! Also an awesome explained video would be Attack the Block (2011). As John Boyega is returning to do the sequel more than 10 years later

You’re deep dives ALWAYS makes me want to rewatch and re experience Films & comics 😉

This movie tackles the idea that Jesus’ crucifixion was pointless.

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 love that youtube puts an ad right at the two scariest parts of the movie

They do that a lot. My favorite ad drops are the ones that happen during meme compilations. My brain sometimes tries to turn the ad into a meme before I realized what happened. At least commercials in the TV Era had the good sense to come at reasonable times. Ads now are so abrupt.

I could not help but both face palm and laugh at that "Spider Nan" pun

This movie was dark but a stark reason for believers in God to question, "What would we do if He turns His back on us?"

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

@@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.

@@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement when you attempt to understand or question the concept of a being who quite literally exist in all times, all the time, youll find your answer to most likely be pretty, lack luster. I think of Prometheus, when David asked Charlie "why do think your people made me?"..."we made you cause we could"... "can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you, to hear the same thing from your creator?" If i ask "god" why they didnt help out during any hard times i guarantee the answer would be "cause you have all the capacity to help yourselves"

I remember seeing this movie all the time on dish and I loved that it was actually super eerie. Priest was another paul bettany movie that I watched so many times.

I'm sad that the tv show Dominion that was based on this movie never gained enough popularity to keep going, it's such a good premise.

Iove the part when Gabriel arrives 🙌

one of my fav movies I’ve watched thx for reviewing this my dude🙌

One of the best movies I know. A Psychological Thriller more than a horror movie. Excellent cast of well known actors all of whom are on a roller coaster of woe and terror.

That old lady crawling on the wall HAUNTED me as a child

I was only 11 or 12 when this movie came out; time flies, man.

The ice cream guy still freaks me out but I wished they didn’t kill him off so easy

Legion was a very well made movie. I had high hopes for sequels, and I will admit I liked the series even though it died too early.

Granny had those slider 7s on the way she was zooming across that floor like that.

They premiered the movie at San Diego Comic Con. I watched parts of this movie on AMC and Syfy, but Never watched it's entirety.

The way you ended it. Made me want a part 2 of the movie. Great video.

On the side of your weapon is a safety switch, you won't be needing that😂

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. Even if you don't cover it the movie would still be a good watch just for your enjoyment.

“Now show me dem teeth” will assuredly always stick with me but when he explains to Jeep how he too had a dream of needing to move out yonder to open PF, not understanding why but understanding that’s what he had to do…it was for this moment in time. I love this movie.

The whole creepy grandmother climbing like a crab upside down on the roof was creepy. I'd be lying if I said the first time I saw it, didn't scare me. The whole granular scene, remind me of the exorcism, where is he climbs down the stairs backwards.

Damn I ain’t seen this movie in ages. Brings back memories.

Till this day I still want a sequel, those tattoos 😮 tho how cool

A fun bit of trivia for you: the guy who plays Gabriel is Kevin Durand, who was the Goa'uld Zipacna in Stargate SG-1!

It'd be cool to see a movie set in this universe, where the apocalypse is going on in a city at the same time these events are taking place.

I kinda liked the spinoff series on the scifi channel called Dominion.

I remember seeing the back of the DVD when I was a kid and the ice cream man terrified me.
