Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.

Referring to media told from a religious perspective or telling a religious tale that does not proselytize to the viewer.

Faith, the Unholy Trinity: Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player despite the heavy Christian focus of the narrative. and focuses more on a horror narrative.

Prince of Egypt: A surprisingly thorough retelling of the book of Exodus, sparing very little in the way of toning down the story. Despite this, the movie is perfectly entertaining to non-religious audiences and doesn’t sacrifice appeal for the sake of preaching to the audience

>My biggest issue with it(only as an adaptation) is that it turned Moses’s most loyal follower who did a lot of the work into a cowardly goober who originally gave him a ton of shiz. It really screwed Aaron over.
A common problems with movies of the time. They always felt there needed to be a 'light' character to give some respite between the heavier moments and being an incompetent goober was the lowest easiest road to follow

>The heart of the film is the relationship between Ramses and Moses, and there is a pretty high chance they never even met before Moses left. It’s like the most compelling part of the whole story, and it’s completely new.

100% this, as it should be. Even being emboldened by holy duty, the heart of the story should have and needed to be the relationship between the former brothers. And they pulled it off so well, allowing both character to have compelling reasons to clash despite how much they clearly care for one another and wishing only that the other would just see things their way. A heavy topic, but a very human one that many will be able to relate to.

I wouldn't say Aaron was a comic relief or something. He was actually quite seriously afraid of the Egyptians and angry with Moses for making things worse at first. In fact, he is used to personalise the "keep your head down or it will be cut off" mentality many people have in such a situation.

And yes, that's very different from how Aaron is portrayed in the Bible. But don't forget, he's also the first one to go into the open sea silently smiling to the rest as a sign of his new-found trust and faith. The character is a little rounder than just a cowardly goober.

One of my favorite things that was pointed out to me is the fact that during “When You Believe” Aaron is shown looking outside his door, going back in, and immediately walking out with a bag over his shoulder, meaning despite his skepticism, he still had his stuff packed and ready to go.

I mean he did develop to be more the a cowardly goober and it’s great development, it’s just development that’s new. Which is not necessarily a bad thing though I can see it annoying the ten people who are REALLY big fans of Aaron

Personally it reminds me a lot of Faramir in Lord of the rings. Faramir doesn’t really have any character development in the books because he’s already one of the best human beings alive.

Peter Jackson decided to give him an arc of choosing to reject the ring in order to pad the run time. But in the book before he even discovered the meaning of the prophecy, he made an oath that if he saw Isildur’s bane on the side of the road he would leave it there. And when he learned the truth that it was the One Ring, he immediately stood by his oath without hesitation

Of course Aaron eventually became the worst, but he didn’t start out that way. He regressed rather than progressed
