Legion is such an underrated action/horror film. I consider it a cult classic along the lines of Dredd where both movies deserved so much better and felt ahead of their time in many ways.

[@piterpraker3399]

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.

[@logger22]

My favorite scene in the movie was the fight between Michael and Gabriel. More importantly how Gabriel wasn’t evil at all, but just blindly following God. He would do that if it meant killing his brother. You can even see him tear up after he stabbed him. Gabriel learns his lesson after Michael returns and tells him that while Gabriel was doing by God’s word, it was Michael who was doing by God’s spirit.

Also there was that time in the book of Enoch where God ordered all the human/angel hybrids killed, so they were half human and some were infants... Though while a fascinating read almost no one counts the book of Enoch as a canonical biblical text. For reasons that should be obvious for anyone who reads it, it reads more like biblical fanfiction then the word of God.

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).

[@rbgerald2469]

[@craigraboteau7024]

[@crazyjoeshorts5256]

The only issue I have with stories like this one is that they ignore the way God promised to end the world. Rescue the faithful, then after a time burn the world. 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.

All the angels fall in line, mindlessly doing what they were told without thinking about it, but Michael knows that this isnt like his father. The God that Michael knew would never order this, especially since hed promised he wouldn't purge the world like this again. That is why Michael fell. He knew this wasnt really what his father wanted.

There are different types of angles.

@@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.

... It would be a cool twist if, Lucy was actually the first to "fall from heaven", in order to help mankind, by pointing them towards the source for knowledge. And now big brother Mikey is following in his footsteps.

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.

Excellent movie! 👍

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.

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?"

[@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement]

What makes you think God hasn't done so already?

[@TheCrusaderJohns]

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

[@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement]

@@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"

[@JcBravo8]

The sequel show, Dominion, is actually pretty good. Its basically that YA niche - the worldbuilding is better than the actual story and that is what keeps the story going, IMO. Its a 6-7. Just enough to watch to the finale once.

[@filmcomicsexplained]

Sounds good!

[@Poineapples]

Saw this movie on TV with my family when I was really young, loved it since. This and Mist are great.

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

It's crazy how well this movie worked when it came out. Like it wasn't a “Horror” horror but it was still scary from the apocalyptic events going on in it. And that was a hell of a rug pull for a lot of people watching this at the start thinking that the angels were going to fight the demons or something to save humanity or to fight them just because it was the Apocalypse. But instead they start possessing people kind of taking the whole notion that demons of hell even exist. So probably just by every and any situation when humans encountered somebody being possessed, if it was real in that world, then it was all probably just angels who fell from heaven. But it was never any of the higher ranks like Michael or Gabriel, an archangel. All of these were basically the lower cast of the choir like in supernatural with Castiel. He was an archangel I think, but not on the same level as Michael who ended up possessing the third and final Winchester brother, the half brother of Hank and Dean, to battle Lucifer because that's what they were both told they had to do when the end times came. However in this version Michael did what was necessary not just what he was ordered. Not an open act of rebellion but what his father needed to start healing.
