>Bible cinematic universe
HollyJew guys are using the term because that is still in vogue nowadays to have a cinematic universe for everything. The process is more benign in itself, having multiple directors and producers come and create distinct but partially interconnecting media for the overarching franchise project. You could try and fund a continuous series headed by sole over-arching directors, like what Roma Downey and Mark Burnett did for The Bible series last decade, but that takes a lot of resources and time and focuses all that on what the sole directors want, which is always a risky investment for financiers and producers
There is also no wholesale ban from God on depicting Biblical events or having a franchise like this, as long as the adaptation does not pervert the message of Scripture, make itself like an equal to the Word, or depicting things it probably should not, like the visions of God by Isaiah, Ezekiel, or Daniel. Like Paul says in Philippians, even if Dallas Jenkins and others are not sincere, we should hope that people do take interest in the Word and the Gospel from these adaptations.
As for the moral character of those making this so-called "Biblical cinematic universe", I don't like The Chosen and I don't think the material will be handled with the complete proper care that the Word of God deserves. However, I have not heard of or seen The House of David until you just posted this, so my opinions on this could change.- BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this.

Why not? I've only seen season 1, and besides Joseph :thasrite: I was surprised at how non-pozzed it was. -

@flux_the_cat @BowsacNoodle @SuperLutheran @SuperSnekFriend @lykanthrocide God must have sold the rights a few time because the last few movies have sucked ass and nothing's happened for like 5 years -

I'm probably unduly biased against adaptations that don't depict a stern and sorrowful Christ or push modern mannerisms into the setting. While He may have experienced many moments of joy, including those with His disciples, that we don't see in the Word, the Gospels are a story of a Lord who sees the sins of Israel and whose people in the majority reject Him and ultimately kill Him. Because of that darkness that Christ is cutting through, the Gospels are not abundantly light hearted.
Without the Resurrection and Ascension and the salvation afforded to us through the cross, what happened to Christ throughout His life is a horror done to an innocent and truly righteous man who deserved no evil.
Oh, and Angel Studios is corrupt and politically subversive.
But I like I said, I'm probably being a sourpuss and overly critical of the show. If you and your family were blessed by the show, then I don't want to take away from you all. :02_shrug:BowserNoodle ☦️ likes this.
