skim speed read
good to re-read and review the works.jesus and methos
highlander series crossover with the bible or christian religion
whateverit starts off as methos meeting a young and naive jesus, yeshua, really.
idealistic and so innocent. warm.the next they meet,
2000 years later,
the twin towers,
methos meets him again in a coffee shop.
and it's to a jaded and embittered yeshua,
who calls himself josh davidson now,
carrying a sword concealed with practiced ease under his long coat.
it leaves the feeling of disappointment when the once vibrant young man is gone.
he had wanted to remember yeshua as the boy from long ago.and the last time methos meets him again,
it's to apocalypse,
the gathering, whatever that is, of immortals.
theyre the only 2 left.
they fight,
josh is delusional, obsessed with molding humans into his ideals.
but that would also turn the humans into no longer what it is to be human,
instead becoming just another of cardboard cut outs,
two dimensional and no personality,
mere copies with no substance.
the last methos sees is a sword descending on him.im not surprised this is how yeshua became.
but i also cant say im not disappointed.
2000 years of fighting and carnage and massacre
all in his name,
twisted his message in the minds of conquerors,
is enough to disillusion oneself from holding out hope that humans will be peaceful.
it doesnt work like that.
there can be peace, yes,
but as much as one would want it,
you cant really avoid the conflict,
the aggression.
and that's all the more disappointing with yeshua's shortsightedness that he thinks love is enough to solve it all and everything under the sun.we either die as heroes,
or live long enough to see ourselves
become villains.
