I haven’t seen Good Omens, which makes this question difficult to answer.
Lately, when hearing anything wrt “how Christians react,” I always want to clarify whether we’re talking “Christians” or “fundamentalist Christians.” Increasingly, American culture assumes that the latter IS the former. I don’t. (Although I don’t try to claim, as some progressive Christians do, that fundies “aren’t really Christians.” That’s a whole ‘nuther and really ugly argument.)
It seems to me that yes, fundies have violently objected to every cultural depiction of the crucifixion (that isn’t traditional Western art in a museum somewhere). (Possible exception: Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson? Which I refused to see given that reviews I saw seemed to indicate that it was a sort of glorification of masochistic violence? Discuss)
I dunno. I can’t think of another depiction of Christ crucified say in the movies that didn’t make someone lose their sh*t somewhere.
(I do get so weary of people claiming to represent me claiming things I don’t believe.)
