Same reason why nobody wants aliens that look inhuman. Truly alien aliens can't really be characters, they'd appear more like unrelatable animals or forces of nature that we can't understand or have meaningful interactions with.

You forgot about Bayonetta, faggot.

For the same reason angels went undercover as humans.

>authentic
>angels

que?

I bet you also complain about unrealistic dragons

OP did you mix up "authentic" with "traditional"?

what's wrong with shapeshifting into a humanoid form op?

Because people will always relate better to humanoid characters. If it's too chaotic (unnatural) then you can't really comprehend it, and your brain rejects it.

Because that requires more effort. It's also the reason we get generic blue/green skinned humanoid aliens instead of actual cool designs, cause most developers are uncreative hacks.

I like Darksiders' cyber-knight angels

The first words out of an angel's mouth is always
>Be Not Afraid
It doesn't matter if they look inhuman of have such an aura that others can feel it but the point stands that angels shouldn't just be people with wings when they're fire given purpose rather than crafted mud.

Because if you told people they worship a religion with such fucked up mythological beings, they'd drop it faster than a hot potato.

It's the same why they always have to translate Muslims as praying to Allah, because admitting Islam and Christianity have the same lore and share most of the holy books would fuck up the entire us vs them mentality.
It's fun to think the kid who got blown up by the suicide bomber was praying for protection to the very same guardian angel as the guy who got blown up himself.

Speaking of, can you imagine telling kids just how fucked up the guardian angel is?

time to break out the pic again

Shapeshifting non-humans is always used as a cop-out to avoid having to ever show what the creature really looks like for more than the bare minimum amount of time.

Cause is easyer to rig and can share animations.

What would an authentic depiction look like, according to you ?

No wonder everybody in Sodom went out of their way to try and butt fuck that.

Angels are never depicted in anything other than art. They're described vaguely in the bible. Depiction =/= description.

Because it's hard to draw an aesthetically pleasing looking individual when they have 7 serpent heads, 14 faces, and 12 wings, for instance.

this

According to Christian doctrine, angels are immaterial, and as such have no "true form." Depicting them as pretty humans with wings is no more or less accurate than "muh wheels."

Contract it to any monstergirl artist

Go play Bayonetta you fag

Go read Revelation

Then it wouldn't be "authentic".

...

Hot women without genitals

Are you insinuating they won't be able to make wheel within wheel -chan both authentic and cute at the same time?

...

Why can't we meaningfully interact with unknowably alien beings and/or forces of nature? Have you never read any decent science fiction?

Is there any place I can read about all the weird shit in christian mythology? Ever since I discovered these abominations and Binding of Isaac I am fascinated.

Wikipedia articles dont focus on the weird shit only, and any type of search I want to do yields either bible loving Americans or obtuse bible chapters where I can't interpret what the fuck is going on.

OT: Because popular culture has made angels look like humans with pigeon wings and because eldritch abominations are harder to design.

So in other words, take all that ridiculous shit and then paste an anime girl torso on top.

one of my favourite screencaps

>christian mythology

correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't most of the abstract stuff in christian mythology come from the OT?

mine too buddy

How is that authentic when they're meant to look like us?

Yes. Because some of the angels weren't cute at all and were to feared. .

No :(

>>/x/

Because apparently people's brains just melt the moment they see something beyond comprehension.

Goetia is literally a collection of "OC donut steel" of medieval times

What games make it clear that Christianity is an invention of man?

If my wikipedia knowledge tells me anything, the weirdness focuses mostly on Genesis and Apocalypse, so it's both testaments.You have prediluvian immortals in the OT, and all the fucked up shit of the end days in the NT.

I specified "Christian" because if I said Judaic people might've linked me things about Judaic and Islamic folklore.

/x/ is shit though, it's just ayys, magic and conspiracies of the week.

Guess its time for another Religion/stealth SMT thread. Threadly reminder that Satan =/= Lucifer

Which angel is the one with nine wings? That shit is badass.

Pass the control bro.

The same reason there aren't realistic depictions of goblins

Satan, you say?

Because angels were described like that in the Old Testament, while they are perfect, winged humans afterwards.

People tend to go with the latter because not only is it more "canon" (as the new testament supercedes the old testament) but because it's just plainly cooler.

I thought abstract angels were only in evangelion, now I'm bumping this thread incase there's more cool designs

Eh you can still do tittyfucks, blowjobs, hot-dogging, etc

If the aliens are too alien, you can’t relate to them, and they’re usually going to appear just as a threat that we should blow up.

Fuck I need to watch evangelion now. Is it actually good or is it just stealing bible names and images?

>tfw pretty much every description of angels with wings has them using them to either keep people from seeing them OR KEEP THE LIGHT THEY EMIT FROM FUCKING INCINERATING PEOPLE

Angels are hardcore.

...

Reminder that ramiel is best girl.

Nips need to step up their Satan game

>mfw old christian/jewish mythology
jesus, these kikes have some nightmare fuel stuff

So, Angels and Demons are aliens?
Was the guy from ancient aliens right?

What's going on in this webm?

Eldritch angels are best angels.

They do, literally all of them do, humans with wings, they all literally all do it.

...

It's ok-ish.
Maybe a bit "2deep4u" at times

Nah.

Not if they're only really alien in appearance. If their minds can work in some way similar to ours, we can relate to them. We can relate to people through text on a screen so visual appearance really isn't a key factor

>a threat that we should blow up
That's how all interaction with aliens should go down

Are you really asking if evangelion is good? Just download this and see for yourself.

nyaa.pantsu.cat/view/831686

Evangelion doesn't have much to do with Christianity but yes, they do pick up the idea that angels are really fucked up mythical beings quickly, being outsiders.

Relation with real ones aside from being heavily surreal is not there. Like, is a copy of a monster from another show, just with a switched color.

God is all powerful. Why would he send his closest messengers to Earth in such strange forms?

Do we know if he went to Damascus?

That's what happens when a bunch of goat shepards out in the middle of the desert take hallucinogenics and form a religion

it's not deep in a religious sense, they just use religious symbols a lot because 'it looks cool'
apart from that it's really good

just stealing bible names and images.

its fun until it starts to take itself way too fucking serious, like thinking they are going to change your life with their symbolism.

give it a chance anyways.

youtu.be/K97yB1-4Ers

Why not? Are you implying we can understand the actions of an all-seeing all-powerful being?

Angels were created before human beings, so that might be why.

>asking questions
That's not how faith works infidel

It is amazing.
It is, in core, a psychological drama about the human characters. The giant robots and judeo-christian imagery are there mostly to be plot devices and look cool (but there is a LOT of detail put to the lore of the lore and mythology of the setting, though, so dont underestimate it.) It is quite an experience.

"Muh angels are actually elderich abominations" is becoming a meme at this point. The authentic depiction of angels is the same usual winged humans, and it's been like that since the times of babylon.

The wierd shit you want is the higher celestial ranks that never really do anything and no one really cares about them compared to the four archangels.

>tfw I might have shitposted with the second coming of Christ

I've guaranteed myself a place in heaven by giving him a (You)

Yah.

Nope! As far as I know that's all there is.

God is also a being of law and order, what if there's established rules for all sorts of shit we cant understand. Despite being all powerful, he wouldn't break the rules.

>here's your angel

>If their minds can work in some way similar to ours

Nigger if there was a UFO THAT BIG next to the sun I'm absolutely sure it would fuck with the planet's orbit and gravity and shit. We would also probably be able to see it with home telescopes if not bare eyes.

...

Gross

...

>billions of people for thousands of years and most of the holy texts in the world describe them as various types of humanoids with varying number and types of wings.

>Handfull of holy texts and a couple hundred autistic retards describe them as completely abstract beings.

>Why aren't we using the more authentic version.

You're using the term authentic wrongly, and what's it like being brain damaged?

I'm sure George, the double digit IQ next door neighbour that's 72 and lives in a trailer is super impressed with you "deep knowledges" of angels, but the rest of the world thinks you're a fucking retard when you behave in this manner, op and every other faggot that agrees with him.

>is it just stealing bible names and images
It is as per what Anno said.
It is a good animeme to watch nonetheless.

NAH! You want to become something like this when you die?
>inb4 humans can't become angels
Could EVERYONE stop talking about shit no one has seen/proven as if it was fact?

Metatron is my wife.

thank you user

It's interesting characters trapped in a shitty show. And no, the religious imagery exists just to look cool

And most of the sane world laughs at the dumb sky-father believers. Doesn't matter what kind of angels they like.

>being this triggered when some user on the internet talks about angels
What the fuck

That's cool and all, user, now get in the fucking robot.
