Aleph Null posted:With their budget, Hell will be an abandoned warehouse with flames painted on the walls. I don't think I've ever seen hell pictured in TV that doesn't look like a bunch of corridors in an industrial warehouse. Off the top of my head: Hell in Preacher, Hell in Lucifer, at some point Hell in Supernatural was literally a corridor with a long queue. If I gave more thought I could probably list more. At this point I would honestly take the flames painted on the walls as a bonus. Elentor fucked around with this message at 09:30 on Apr 12, 2018 |

Salem did the proper Biblical Hell -- fire, brimstone, devil and hordes of the damned. That show properly committed to it, and was pretty insane. Not a standout show in most respects, but it did have gumption.

Although if you watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeLo3E30A9o you've seen the best scene. The movie does have a super creepy "that uncle that touched you inappropriately" version of Lucifer.

Hell is the absence of God, and being trapped in a horrible corridor for eternity is Hell for most people. But, you know, pop culture things like Santa, The Easter Bunny, Sky Daddy, Pitchfork Demons With Fire Pits sort of work their way into public consciousness on their own.

Same for Preacher. Preacher's Hell is Terry Gilliam's Brazil via an underground concrete prison/warehouse with individual Hell experiences run by technology that breaks down occasionally and needs to be repaired.

Yeah, if you're looking for really ambitious Hell representations What Dreams May Come really goes for it (as well as some very interesting Heaven ideas). Its just really a kind of beautiful and intriguing exploration of the idea of the afterlife. Its not a great movie but its a really pretty one that is like 75% on the artistic design.

The movie is pretty decent, but Keanu is in no way, shape, or form John Constantine. While the tv show is pretty rough but Matt Ryan just loving nails the character of John Constantine. I'm glad he gets to be Constantine on Legends of Tomorrow now.

A big chunk of S2 is set in Hell. They... address your concern at the end of S1. I still have no idea what I think of Preacher after two seasons. I guess I enjoy it because I keep watching it?

The thing about Preacher is that a lot of the stories are predicated on Cassidy and Jesse being best friends, but they're lovely to each other from the start and we never see the friendship develop or even them having fun together. In AoS, we watch the characters become close, so we give a poo poo when things go bad between them.

Yeah, that seems fair. I guess a big part of it is that I can kind of see why Jesse and Tulip put up with each other since they have so much history but I don't really get why Cassidy feels so much loyalty to Jesse when Jesse's just kind of always been an rear end in a top hat since they met. Still I keep watching and its not like a chore thing or anything. So I guess I'm enjoying it. I think its just weird enough that any time I might tap out something new pops up to make me say "Huh?"

Satan is Hebrew for "Adversary," and is more of a title than a name... in the Book of Job, a Satan tests Job's faith and loyalty to Yahweh, in a story that's supposed to answer the question "why do bad things happen to good people?" Beelzebub (Ba'al Zebub) translates to "Lord Of Flies," (Ba'al simply means "Lord") and is a Hebrew burn on a rival Philistine god, who they likened to a big pile of poo poo that attracted flies. Lucifer is a whole other dude that rebelled and was cast out of Heaven. Modern American Evangelical Christianity sometimes... mixes stuff up. There's no such thing biblically as The Antichrist or The Rapture as seen in popular media. An antichrist is someone against Christ, it's not some Romanian weirdo with a hilarious made up name, and the Rapture is... very different and only mentioned in passing. Weird, wild stuff.

Yeah, weather "The Devil" is a real dude, a fallen angel, an idea, or what is a huge topic of debate in Christianity. The Pope even had some drama the other week splitting hairs over whether Hell was a physical thing or a theological state.
