1 | '''Basic Trope''': Jesus is portrayed as a laid-back, friendly, all-round NiceGuy who just wants everyone to be friends. |
2 | * '''Straight''': {{God}} is shown to be a vengeful, jealous patriarchal figure, but Jesus disapproves of his methods and is best friends with all mankind. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Jesus is a skateboarding, skydiving, [[KungFuJesus kung-fu fighting badass]]. |
5 | ** Jesus raps, wears sunglasses and a backwards baseball cap, is a JiveTurkey, and spreads the gospel by going around Judea on a skateboard. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': Jesus has a fairly calm, agreeable demeanor. |
7 | * '''Justified''': The work illustrates the trope using only genuine quotes from the New Testament. |
8 | * '''Inverted''': |
9 | ** All the other mythological characters are more-or-less decent and well-meaning, but Jesus is a cruel and judgmental figure. |
10 | ** TheDevilIsALoser |
11 | ** EverybodyHatesHades |
12 | ** JesusWasCrazy |
13 | * '''Subverted''': Jesus seems to be Way Cool on first appearance, but it soon turns out he's got his Old Testament side as well. |
14 | * '''Doubly Subverted''': ...however, that's just a show to impress the clergy, and it kind of embarrasses him to have to keep it up. |
15 | * '''Parodied''': In-universe, Jesus was TooCoolToLive |
16 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Jesus is bipolar. |
17 | * '''Averted''': Jesus is an aloof and reverent figure, preaching goodwill but remaining clearly detached from humanity. |
18 | * '''Enforced''': "Kids these days don't empathise with the paternalistic view of Christ, we should make him TotallyRadical!" |
19 | * '''Lampshaded''': "I never thought Jesus Christ would be this much ''fun!''" |
20 | * '''Invoked''': The church uses a happy-clappy modern reinterpretation of "[[Film/{{Dogma}} Buddy Christ]]" to gain followers. |
21 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |
22 | * '''Defied''': The church considers depicting Jesus this way, but decides against it. |
23 | * '''Discussed''': "You think because I preach brotherly love I don't believe in self-restraint and following the rules?" |
24 | * '''Conversed''': "Another Way Cool Jesus? I mean I know the guy was nice, but it seems like everything that portrays him nowadays has him as some ridiculous cool-dude figure" |
25 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
26 | ** Jesus turns out to be an overly easy-to-please slacker, and as his followers come to realise this they leave the church in droves for faiths with more authoritative and dignified figureheads. |
27 | ** Jesus ends up acting like an ExtremeDoormat who keeps preaching peace and love even when actively being harassed and even assaulted. His followers starts questioning him heavily. |
28 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
29 | ** ...but still others are attracted to his genuine nature and evident love of the world and humanity, and he gains a whole new set of followers, inspiring people to take an interest in religion they'd never had before. |
30 | * '''Played For Laughs''': As a RunningGag, everyone gives the rapping, skate boarding slang-using Jesus weird looks. |
