'Deadpool & Wolverine' movie faces allegations of blasphemy
Jul 30, 2024
The new superhero movie "Deadpool & Wolverine," which hit theaters in the United States last week, is facing blasphemy allegations from social media influencers because one of the main characters repeatedly refers to himself as "Marvel Jesus" while the other is crucified on screen.
A YouTube account titled "the simple life of mj," operated by a woman using the names Bobbie Bee and Mikayla Jade, who describes herself as a "musician, singer, artist, online creator, and proud follower of Christ," has warned that Christians should not go see the movie.
A video made by the influencer titled "the new deadpool is a mockery of Jesus" elaborates on her concerns with the movie. As of Tuesday afternoon, it has more than 2,500 views.
"I went last night with a big group of my friends and my boyfriend," she said in the video, uploaded to YouTube last week. "I was very nervous because I knew Deadpool is very vulgar, [and] profane but I enjoy Deadpool a lot."
While she anticipated some "sex jokes" and identified herself as a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that the movie is a part of, the influencer maintained that "I didn't think it would be bad."
She lamented that her prediction was incorrect, asserting, "I have never seen Marvel go this far in mocking Jesus."
"This film made me heartbroken," she added. "I cried during the film, and after the film, I was just absolutely broken in my spirit."
