I thought this movie had a good premise. I was describing it to my wife under the guise of a movie that I didn't really like, but ironically, as I described the major plot points, it sounded like a great movie. However I just think ultimately the plot is too predictable, and some of the dialogue is a bit too on the nose. Also the way the two main characters seem to switch moral positions so easily seems pretty inconsistent. The two main characters really have the least interesting story imo. The bodyguard's subplot also seems completely unnecessary since the themes it covers are a subset of the husband's subplot.

TL;DR interesting premise with subpar execution.

I wouldn't worry about that. Adam Driver is a way better actor than the Rock and has a way better filmography. I mean, when you're doing movies like Jumanji, Rampage, Fast and Furious, and Jungle Cruise, you're aiming for lucrative short term relevance.

Dread sold 3 million copies. Mario Odyssey sold 25 million copies. BotW sold 31 million. MK8 sold 58 million copies (just the Switch version). Metroid is absolutely not a system seller, and they will not push it as such.

Unfortunately Metroid is not really a system seller for Nintendo. Is always Mario or Zelda

It is hard to 100% but not to finish the story.

Also if you're looking to make a job out of it, Python will lead you to job opportunities that are imo much more satisfying than JS.

I always prescribe learning Python over basically any other language (unless you're gonna start doing some real low-level computing). It's a much more relevant and popular language. C# isn't irrelevant, you'll just see Python used way more often. Python will also compliment JS much more.

Your link doesn't work

OK, which verses?

[–] KRAW@linux.community 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Examples?

Abraham, the OG benificiary of the covenant with God, lies about his wife twice. Moses kills an Egyptian. These are all things that the Commandments explicitly mark as immoral behaviors. Obviously the success the figures experienced also had nothing to do with their own ability, e.g. Moses did not part the Red Seas by himself.

Except in Mark and the Q source.

The first verse of Mark calls him the Son of God. The Q source is also a purely hypothetical book, so while it technically doesn't say Jesus is the Son of God, it also doesn't say anything at all until it is actually found.

Not really. All of them are portrayed as doing things that Jewish culture would view unfavorably or immoral. God isn't exactly giving a stamp of approval to each action of these figures. Pretty much any time they do anything good it is because God enabled them to do it either through miraculous acts or by instructing them.

Also Jesus is considered the son of God throughout the entire New Testament. Maybe the word "perfect" isn't used, but he is portrayed as a model human being throughout. Otherwise his sacrifice wouldn't be able to serve it's purpose.

I mean, I don't have the perspective to speak on how a Jew might view major figures in the Old Testament. I would guess they would still view them as imperfect people as even major figures like David are portrayed as doing immoral things.
