Marvel & DC's War on God: The Antichrist Agenda

About This Movie

So, this documentary dives deep into the narratives we see from Marvel and DC, pointing out how they weave in anti-Christ themes. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, as it jumps from one point to another, but that kind of adds to its raw, almost urgent tone. Schimmel's approach is definitely heavy-handed—he's not shy about calling out the glorification of violence and occult symbols in a lot of mainstream media. The practical effects are more about the illustrative examples than any flashy visuals. There's a certain atmosphere of paranoia that lingers throughout, making you rethink what you've seen in those superhero flicks. It's distinctive for sure, and not just your run-of-the-mill film about comics.
