The thing that gets me most is backlash occurring before it’s even seen/read. It reminds me of Kevin Smith speaking about all the shit he got when he made Dogma.

I’m also struck by the fact that from any of the promo material I’ve seen, Jesus/Christianity doesn’t appear to be portrayed negatively. I feel like some religious conservatives get incensed through sheer frustration when a satire like this points out some inconsistencies in their worldview. People want to see Sun-Man beat a criminal to a pulp... but when Jesus shows up with bread & compassion instead of a clenched fist, that premise and concept calls their morals and faith into question. But rather than explore the questions raised, the disconnect created just leads to frustration turned to anger.
