Yep. Even this guy kept coming back by just looking like him.

Im surprised there isn't Ewan Mcgregor Jesus movie yet. The look was and still is there...

Plus he's actual Jesus.

He's not all that. Did he even even dodge any bullets, or destroy the moon?

It's even worse than you think OP.

Not only did Jesus see his death coming, but his father gawd literally set up the whole universe to require Jesus's death. We can skip the part where Jesus and God are the same dude and "death" for a god isn't really death at all. But either way, god knew this would happen the moment he created the earth if we go by the Bible strictly. So it's all basically masturbatory pageantry.

Judas was no traitor after all, just the hand of God.

I still think it's pretty fucking bullshit that this guy isn't mentioned for like the entire first half of the book, then suddenly rocks up to Mary Sue everything and save the damn world, like wtf. I know the writers changed but that's some serious narrative whiplash, it's practically a completely different story.

The marketing for the book is so misleading. Like all that hype for then Donkey at Xmas and he's cut from the finished product.

You can tell there was no outline from the start. More star wars sequel trilogy than MCU.

Jesus was OP and then the writers nerfed him for the last supper. Fucking bullshit. Waiting for the Zack Snyder cut.

He needed to "die", so people didn't suspect the real source of his abilities was a ring of power.

Couldn't Jesus have prevented the assassination??
The goal wasnt to show that he could evade death in some way.
Anyone could do that, especially when the threat is just some mere mortals comming to arrest you.
The goal was to show that he could rise again from being actually dead, and for that you would obviously need to die first.
And it needed to be done by public officials, so people would believe that he is actually dead and it's not just some trick.

It wasn't there fault, they had to pick up the story somehow and a new character was a good way to breathe life into the series

When it comes down to it, this God guy is a pretty shitty creator. Dude kept fucking up and rebooting along with relying on others to fix his shit. Also just kind of an egotistical asshole. He's basically a Vince McMahon booked baby face.

The poor writing quality is to be expected when The New Testament is just Hebrew Bible fanfic with a ridiculously OP author self-insert for a main character.

Yeah, he is one kind of a Dick. The New Testament was some PR move after the hardcore stuff of the Old.

No Jesus is not invincible, that's like a central theme of christianity. But I don't want to spoil chapter 3 for you.

Also jesus is not all seeing and all knowing

IIT: people complaining about spoilers for a 2000 year old young adult novel that was rebooted countless times.

Grow up, peeps.

When you're writing a fairytale about a God character, it's hard not to have plot holes

Oof stuff like this is why I cant get into the jesus expanded universe. The fan-service and heavy handed symbolism is just through the roof. That pose at the bottom, yes I know it looks like a cross... do you need to reference it in every new adapation only because it was in the original story?

Title is fine but a spoiler tag for the OP would be appreciated. I'm waiting for Disney to roll him into the MCU.

Yeah, people complain about Original Trilogy wank in all new SW media, but this franchise has it far worse. Not a single original plotline in, what, two millenia?

He couldn't even dodge a handful of nails...

Don't we have a What Are you Reading thread? I don't think many here know of this new book you're talking about.

Talking about Jesus, do you think he'll make his come back BEFORE or AFTER George R. R. Martin finishes The Winds of Winter?
