he was an angel. Pruitt says "when angels come down from Heaven and people and prophets see them, they are terrified".
Angels are sent from Heaven to curse, kill, punish sinners. No one says Angels are supposed to look like your idealization of them
How is this confusing? The show devotes so much screentime to explaining this.
Pruitt keeps explaining how people feared biblical angels and how they were seen as alien and scary. He internalizes this as part&parcel of miracles and overcomes the fear with faith, and tries to spread the word.
All of this is said out loud in the series, I don't know why people are pretending that it's confusing.
The couple of angels that went to Sodom and Gomorrah were SO HOT that every degenerate there wanted to fuck them.
it was a vampire, and he confused for an angel because he was a senile dying old catholic priest. And since the "angel" saved his life and made him young, his natural assumption was to think he was given a blessing.

>Explain to me
i´m not the writer nor your mom, i dont give a fuck about that shit, i liked the series, thats it, iif you dont liked it thats perfectly fine.
man, you gotta be a fucking retarded, that wasnt a critic to christianism but to how some people dont understand christianim, you fucking retard mongoloid. Jesus fucking christ on a rollercoaster, you are too retarded pal.
I have to say that I couldn't help but watch it almost in one go, which is true that it begins very slowly, like the previous two, nothing different in this aspect, which deals with topics such as religion and the extremisms that are committed in the name of her, how dangerous it is when religion falls into the hands of inappropriate people, the existence of good and evil, and it has reached me, it has made me think, because it is a series that makes you continue thinking about it days after having seen it, and I love that.
I liked it. Some of the characters little spiels they randomly go on to ram a very obvious liberal point home got kinda old, though. It happens like once every 2 episodes and it’s pretty on the nose so you kinda can’t help but roll your eyes at it, overall though it’s a competent vampire story.
For when this thread turns into a shit-sling from mutt larpagans: know that I saw you crying like little bitches about that lion cub with the broken back.
So was the angel actually meant to be evil? He enacted true miracles which didn't seem to have any direct catch. Like the black girl can just straight up walk now and she wasn't turned into a vampire or w/e
The "angel" was evil. He turned them into creatures that could only go outside at night, and made them crave human blood. The other miracles was just to convince people that the miracles was good.
It was a vampire, it was aiming to feed itaelf and saw the priest and that little.community as a way to facilitate that. The "miracles" was just the vampire blood doing what it does, healing the body
If I liked Haunting of Hill House but thought the last episode was complete garbage that invalidated what came before it, what will I think of Midnight Mass?
>If I liked Haunting of Hill House but thought the last episode was complete garbage that invalidated what came before it
This was my exact same opinion btw.
>what will I think of Midnight Mass?
I think you will like it. It's a well-rounded story that doesn't have a disastrous ending like Hill House did.
You might find some of the dialogue too on the nose. But it's a pretty decent show all things considered, fine characters, fine acting, doesn't pull punches or give characters plot armour.
Midnight Mass is OC so Flanagan can just write what he wants and as a result it's a tighter, more solid work. Hill House was him twisting the story in ways it should not, and it's why the ending rings false and hollow.
You see it in his writing. Some of the dialogue in this show was so cringe. And that monologue by his wife in the end was so fucking strange. Nothing about what she said was about God. It was just a word salad of different religious view i felt
It was a mixture of scripture and physics, basically one making sense out of the other. It was kinda clever actually
Reminder the writer is basically a teenage atheist with a israeli wife. >I connected pretty intensely with Buddhism for a few years in there, even seeking out temples in Los Angeles as I tried to further explore it, but ultimately the book that impacted me the most was God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. That led to Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris. But I found more spiritual resonance reading Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan than I found in two decades of Bible study.

I thought it was pretty straight forward. The message being that "god" is just existence itself, which include all of us, all of us being part of the same one thing that it everything that is alive. All is one and one is all kinda thing.
But God isn't existence itself. God is outside of existence. How can God create the universe if God is part of the universe God creates? It's impossible.
It tricks you into thinking it's a slow burn and shit will just go crazy but then it becomes an even slower burn to the point you don't care at the end.
Should've stayed a drama. Really good dialogue and scenes but it feels like Flannigan forgot it was supposed to be a horror and shoe horned the ending. Needed like 3 more episodes to make the horror work.
People who didn't grow up in a religious environment will never understand a code theme of this series so it automatically filters a lot of Cinemaphiletards
explain to me why it would be a bad thing to be a vampire
the first night we see that animal blood works just as well as human blood, the thing sucks on all of the blood of the cats.
so if humans turn to vampires, instead of eating meat, we just drink cow blood or goat blood or whatever. you wouldnt even need to kill the cow because you can keep them alive for their blood and we wouldnt need a lot of blood because in the show the priest survives off one dude cutting himself like one cups worth of blood and that was apparently enough for the priest to survive. just kill all the retards that cant control their urge in a civilized manner and dont go out during the day. no more cancer, no more death.
I loved it. Didn't demonize Christians really all that much, which is shocking for a netflix show. Great thoughts on morality, the questions of what comes after death, et cetera. And lots of really fuckin cool vampire stuff. The last two episodes are some of the best tv I've seen in my life. The main character's parents finding each other in the end, each independently resisting their new violent urges and keeping their faith in each other and themselves and in the ideals of their religion, really touched me. I like the comparison of vampirism to the inherent urges to do evil we have as a species, seems like an interesting callback to the Dracula novel.
I like that it criticizes organized religion in a more even-handed way than we usually get, saying essentially that some people use it to cover themselves for lacking the willpower to be good people, yet it also implies that the benevolent metaphysical God is real and that many religious people are very good people. There's some really great acting in this as well, mostly from Hamish Linklater. I'd recommend it to anyone.
i loved that series, i dont fucking care if you dont and i will not elaborate to a random homosexual on a cantonese porn forum about it.
Explain to me how a ordained priest could not recognize a fucking demon
>anon says he won’t elaborate
>OKAY BUT ELABORATE ON ____
Based lonely anon.

Nice argument moron. The thing was evil.

With certain topics, /misc/tv becomes very butthurt if they're not portrayed in an absolutely positive light, even if the movie/series is good.
Some recent examples
Midnight mass - catholicism/Christianity
Midsommar - traditions
Came up with one more recent example:
Old boy - capitalism and class disparity
You are a brainlett lmao
No, you are
>Explain to me
i´m not the writer nor your mom, i dont give a fuck about that shit, i liked the series, thats it, iif you dont liked it thats perfectly fine.
What about a show that made no sense did you like?
>Christianity...le bad!

it was entartaining, wont rewatch tho
For when this thread turns into a shit-sling from mutt larpagans: know that I saw you crying like little bitches about that lion cub with the broken back.
It would have been much better if the female lead/showrunner's wife was cut out of it entirely.
Agreed. Her acting is so dead.

he wasn't any more evil than any animal just wanting to feed. bev was more of an evil character tbh
It didn’t care one way or the other is the impression I got. using the island as a way to feed easier was probably all it wanted.

This one was by far the most boring of the bunch. So much college philosophising and very little happening.
>people are just talking in this show. Wheres the scary monster?
Filtered midwit
He’s not wrong on the philosophies though. It’s definitely early college student level tier that’s trying to be more profound than it is.
Reminder the writer is basically a teenage atheist with a israeli wife.

he was a good performance
and i liked Hamill in the fall of the Ushers
thats it

skill issue
I think it should have been a cool 90 minutes movie.

Code => core
I enjoyed everything with that guy in it and didn't care for anything else.

Best horror series I seen in a long time op is a gay homosexual
zoomer
what show is this? loki season 2?
the new adventures of old christine
