Gods not getting enough respect?

Started by olympian2 pages

Nah.. Gods in Greek mythology weren't all that tough to begin with. A quick read of the Iliad will show mortal hero Diomedes injuring and "driving from the battlefield both Aphrodite and Ares, the goddess of love and god of war. Later on, Patroclus and Achilles each have physical confrontations with Apollo.
And frankly, Diomedes and the guys are tough, but they're not even as powerful as a Marvel character like Spiderman... let alone The Hulk or Magneto and so forth."

Like mentioned above, he never did on its own. Mortals could injure Immortals with help from other immortals, not without it.

Y'think we should move this to the 'Comic Book Religion/Philosophy Forum?' This has gone way beyond vs.

No writer will use a current religion because their afraid of the backlash it will cause , if they refer to THE GOD they don't name him to leave it ambiguous . Of course most people assumee he/she/it is the Christian 'god' for some reason.

The various comic book companies use outdated god's that no one worships anymore. No one worships the Norse pantheon anymore so now their comic fodder.....

You've never read Preacher? Lucifer? Spectre?
There's all kinds of comics with the Christian god.

Yes but those comics outrightly are CHRISTIAN and or CHRISTIAN based.

Eg : Preacher is a 'CHRISTIAN' reverend , while Lucifer is outright named in the bible.....

Marvel heroes really meet gods often.

Fore example, Namor nearly defeated Ares...and fought Hercules, Thor and enemies of Neptune, who he is related to. And due that, he's related to nearly all greek gods.

What relivence does that hold? The naming of those comics completely stunted that other post "No writer will use the christian god". When I just named 3 comics that do. And they also have all those other Pantheons in there.

Ever read JLA: Paradise Lost?

DC/Vertigo touches on the classic Norse, Greek, Roman, etc pantheons and definately also utilises Christianity.

Hmmm true , well perhaps these 'god's don't get enough respect because their not 'god's '

Most people define a god as a Omnipotent ,Omniscient being , thor , zeus even the other god's don't do that. The only god who can supposedly do all of this is the christian god.....

Well i saw ares the dc version man handle the justice league he was ***** slapping superman like if he was a fly.........
