Big ideas on screen
Multiverses, infinite power, time and judgement: the big ideas superhero films borrow, and where they came from.
The idea in one minute
Marvel, DC and anime, and the questions they raise about God.
The films imagine stones that give power, beings who see everything, and doors into other worlds. The 99 Names describe the One who has all power, sees all things and holds every world. We use the films as a doorway, never as a picture of God, and each card says how the three faiths have received it.
Films here are for viewers aged 12 and over unless marked; some are 15 or 18. Nothing on this page appears in the children's section.
Multiverse

If there are countless worlds, is there anyone who holds them all?

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Countless parallel universes, each with its own version of you, and a mother willing to destroy them all to be with her children. It asks what it means to be one self among many possibilities.
- al-Wāsiʿ: The film imagines universes stacked beyond counting, each sealed off from the others; the Name describes the One whose knowledge and mercy encompass all of them at once, the 'Lord of the worlds' (Qur'an 1:2).
- ash-Shahīd: The film imagines heroes unable to see what their other selves are doing; the Name describes the One who witnesses every self in every place.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Dark sorcery and a demonic spellbook (the Darkhold) are central. No god depicted.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: Jewish law forbids sorcery (Deuteronomy 18:10-11); observant families may avoid it.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In says the magic 'feels as dark and occultic as anything' in the Marvel films. Many Christian families avoid occult-themed content.
Muslim reviewers: Islam forbids sihr (sorcery); families may treat the magic as fantasy or avoid it.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
A machine opens the door between parallel universes and Spider-People from many worlds meet. Anyone, the film says, can wear the mask.
- al-Jāmiʿ: The film imagines heroes from scattered worlds pulled together by accident; the Name describes the One who gathers all people, from every place and time, on one day.
- al-Wāsiʿ: The film imagines worlds side by side that barely know of one another; the Name describes the One whose reach includes all of them.

If reality has more layers than we can see, what lies beneath the deepest one?
Anime · anime · 2017 · 15 (BBFC)
Made in Abyss
A vast pit descends layer after layer into the earth, each level stranger than the last; the deeper you go, the more it costs to come back up.
- al-Bāṭin: The series imagines a hidden depth that punishes those who seek it; the Name describes the One who is hidden yet nearer to us than our jugular vein (Qur'an 50:16).
- al-Khabīr: The series imagines secrets buried in the dark; the Name describes the One who is aware of every inner reality.

Shazam!
An ancient wizard searches for someone 'pure of heart' to receive the wisdom of Solomon and the strength of the gods, while the Seven Deadly Sins escape as monsters. Power is given, not earned, and the boy who gets it has to grow into it.
- al-Wahhāb: The film imagines power handed to a boy by a dying wizard who needs a successor; the Name describes the One who gives without needing anything back and without ever passing His power on.
- al-Qawiyy: The film imagines strength borrowed from a list of gods and heroes; the Name describes the One whose strength is His own and never tires.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
SHAZAM is an acronym including Solomon, alongside Greek and Roman figures. Solomon (peace be upon him) is named, not shown. The Seven Deadly Sins appear as monsters.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: Solomon is a king and sage of the Hebrew Bible; the film uses his name only as a source of wisdom.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In notes the mix of Christian (Seven Deadly Sins) and pagan elements and some scary content.
Muslim reviewers: Solomon (Sulaymān) is a prophet in Islam; he is mentioned by name only and not depicted.

Aquaman
A hidden kingdom beneath the sea and a lost trident that only the rightful king can wield. The deep ocean is imagined as a realm of power waiting to be claimed.
- Mālik al-Mulk: The film imagines rival heirs fighting to own the kingdom of the seas; the Name describes the One who already owns every kingdom, and gives and takes rule as He wills (Qur'an 3:26).
- al-ʿAlīm: The film imagines oceans full of secrets no surface-dweller has seen; the Name describes the One whose knowledge the sea could not write out if it were ink (Qur'an 18:109).

Thor
A proud prince is stripped of his hammer and sent to Earth until he becomes 'worthy'. Power, in this story, depends on humility.
- al-Mutakabbir: The film imagines a prince who must learn not to claim greatness for himself; the Name describes the One to whom greatness truly belongs, and before whom pride in anyone else is borrowed.
- al-Khāfiḍ: The film imagines a mighty heir brought low so he can grow; the Name describes the One who lowers the proud, and lifts up the humble.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Galactus, a vast cosmic being, must consume whole planets to survive, and his herald, the Silver Surfer, finds them for him. A family must decide what they will not give up to save the Earth.
- al-Ghaniyy: The film imagines a cosmic being so hungry he must eat worlds; the Name describes the One who needs nothing at all, and from whom every world receives what it needs.
- ar-Razzāq: The film imagines planets as food for a god; the Name describes the One who feeds every creature, down to the smallest (Qur'an 11:6).

Galactus is god-like but not presented as God. Family and pregnancy themes.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: The Forward’s PJ Grisar welcomed the way the film “sends The Thing to shul” (25 July 2025): Ben Grimm is given a Lower East Side neighbourhood with Yiddish signs and a synagogue visit, a tribute to Jack Kirby, who partly based the character on himself. The original comic characters were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, both Jewish New Yorkers.

Creation
Creation
What does it mean to make something from nothing, and to give it a life of its own?
The Names that answer: al-Khāliq · al-Bāriʾ · al-Muṣawwir · al-Badīʿ
DC · film · 2013 · 12A (BBFC, cinema; 12 on home release)
Man of Steel
A dying planet sends its last child to Earth, carrying a genetic 'codex'; a general arrives with a machine to remake Earth into a new Krypton. Creation here is engineering: worlds and people designed to order.
- al-Muṣawwir: The film imagines a world-engine that reshapes a planet to a pattern; the Name describes the One who gives every creature its own form, not a copy of another world.
- al-Bāriʾ: The film imagines a codex holding a whole people's designs; the Name describes the One who brings each creature into being, distinct and new, without a blueprint borrowed from anyone.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Heavy Christian symbolism: Clark is 33, visits a church and is framed against a stained-glass image of Jesus; the film uses messianic imagery without depicting Jesus as a character.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: See Superman (2025) on the character's Jewish creators and Moses echoes.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In calls it 'one of the most spiritually symbolic and Messianic-image-packed' Superman treatments and reads him as an analogue of Christ. Some Christians welcome the parallel; others are uneasy with a superhero as a Christ-figure.
Muslim reviewers: Muslim viewers may note that Islam does not portray prophets in images; here the imagery is symbolic and no prophet appears as a character.

Zack Snyder's Justice League
Three 'Mother Boxes' can unite to strip a planet and remake it for a conqueror; the same technology brings a dead hero back to life. Creation and resurrection become machinery.
- al-Muʿīd: The film imagines a dead hero restarted by alien technology; the Name describes the One who brings creation back after it ends, needing no device to do it.
- al-Badīʿ: The film imagines boxes that overwrite a world with a copy of another; the Name describes the One who originates without any model before Him.

Eternals
Giant 'Celestials' seed planets with life so that new Celestials can hatch from them, and send immortal servants to guide humanity. The film suggests the world's myths were inspired by these servants.
- al-Khāliq: The film imagines planets made as incubators, with life as a means to an end; the Name describes the One who creates every living thing with purpose and care, not as a shell to be broken.
- al-Ḥakam: The film imagines a cosmic judge, Arishem, weighing whether a world may live; the Name describes the One whose judgement is perfectly just and never arbitrary.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Recasts creation and humanity's ancient stories as the work of aliens. It is listed as entertainment, with this caveat.
Content check: this title mocks a faith.
Jewish reviewers: We have not yet found a Jewish review of this title.; the film's claim that ancient myths came from aliens can trouble readers of Genesis.
Christian reviewers: Christian Spotlight rated it 'Very Offensive', calling it a 'revisionist history replacing God with false gods'. Plugged In calls its spirituality 'incredibly messy'.
Muslim reviewers: Several Gulf states (including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar) did not release the film, reportedly over a same-sex relationship rather than its theology. The idea of creatures guiding history is far from the Qur'anic account of creation.

WandaVision
A grieving woman with vast power builds a whole town in the style of old TV sitcoms and brings back the partner she lost, holding real people captive inside her dream.
- al-Muḥyī: The series imagines grief so strong it conjures the dead back for a while; the Name describes the One who truly gives life, and to whom the dead return.
- as-Salām: The series imagines a perfect little world kept peaceful by force; the Name describes the One who is peace itself, and whose peace does not need prisoners.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
No gods depicted; witchcraft is part of the story. A celebrated line on grief: 'What is grief, if not love persevering?'
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: In Tablet, Rabbi Shmuel Hain wrote “In ‘WandaVision,’ Timely Jewish Wisdom About Coping With Loss” (22 April 2021), reading the series alongside Jewish mourning practice disrupted by the pandemic and the idea of grief as love that endures. The Forward asked whether Wanda’s grief is also “a story of intergenerational Holocaust trauma”, since in the comics her father, Magneto, survived the Holocaust.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In records mild language and witchcraft themes.

Spirited Away
A girl stumbles into a bathhouse for Japan's nature spirits. A river spirit arrives choked with rubbish; a witch steals people's names so they forget who they are.
- al-Ḥafīẓ: The film imagines a girl who must keep hold of her own name or be lost; the Name describes the One who preserves every soul and forgets no one.
- al-Muṣawwir: The film imagines rivers and hills with spirits of their own; the Name describes the One who gave every river and hill its shape, and whose creation praises Him in its own way (Qur'an 17:44).

Christian reviewers: Plugged In praises its artistry but calls 'flawed theology' its biggest drawback, noting witchcraft by good and evil characters. Christian Spotlight rated it 'Average'.
Muslim reviewers: On the news site of the International Islamic University Malaysia, Elaina binti Sabirin drew “Valuable lessons from ‘Spirited Away’” (7 November 2020): facing fear, avoiding greed, with a hadith from Sunan Abu Dawud, and caring for the body as an amanah, a trust from God.

An ironworks town cuts down an ancient forest, and the Forest Spirit, who gives and takes life with each step, is hunted for its head. Hatred turns the forest's gods into demons.
- al-Muḥyī: The film imagines a forest spirit at whose footsteps flowers bloom and wither; the Name describes the One who gives life and is never hunted, harmed or diminished.
- al-Mumīt: The film imagines life and death bound up in one creature that can be killed; the Name describes the One who decrees death and is Himself the Ever-Living.

In a future of cyborg bodies, an artificial intelligence born in the sea of information claims to be a living being and asks for asylum. The film asks what a soul is.

- al-Qayyūm: The film imagines an old man exhausting himself to keep a world from falling apart; the Name describes the One who sustains all things without tiring or needing an heir.

The Flash
A grieving son runs back in time to save his mother and breaks the multiverse. He learns that some losses cannot be undone without unmaking everything else.

Loki
An office of bureaucrats guards a single 'Sacred Timeline', pruning any branch that strays; behind it stands one man who has arranged history to suit himself. A trickster ends up holding all the timelines together.
- al-Muqaddim: The series imagines clerks deciding which moments go ahead and which are erased; the Name describes the One who brings forward what He wills, with justice, and needs no office to do it.
- al-Qayyūm: The series imagines a lone figure exhausting himself to hold every timeline in place; the Name describes the One who sustains all things and is never tired by it (Qur'an 2:255).

Loki is the Norse 'god of mischief'; the show treats the title loosely. The man behind the Time Variance Authority is a fake controller of time, not God.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: In J. The Jewish News of Northern California, Esther D. Kustanowitz read the series through Jewish texts in “I am burdened with interpretive purpose: A Jewish lens on ‘Loki’” (15 July 2021). She links its time travel to a Talmudic idea of the road shortened, and Loki’s meeting with other versions of himself to Jewish teaching on free will, repentance and Hillel’s teaching on responsibility for yourself and for others.

What If...?
A cosmic Watcher observes every possible version of reality and has sworn never to interfere. When one universe threatens all the others, he breaks his vow.

Superman
A near-invincible visitor from another world who could rule the Earth chooses kindness instead, and is distrusted for it. The film asks whether goodness without self-interest is believable.
- ar-Raʾūf: The film imagines a mighty being whose gentleness surprises people; the Name describes the One who is most tender towards His creatures, with a kindness that is not a costume over power but the meaning of it.

Opens with a reference to an age of 'gods and monsters'; Superman is an alien, not a god. Mild religious idioms only.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: Superman was created in 1938 by two Jewish Americans, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster; many Jewish writers have noted echoes of the infant Moses (peace be upon him) sent away in a vessel, and of the Hebrew-sounding name Kal-El. The Forward ran a critical essay on this film, “Does the ‘Superman’ twist ruin his Jewish roots?” (2025). It argues that the new twist about Kal-El’s Kryptonian parents sits uncomfortably close to antisemitic tropes, and weakens the classic reading of Superman as a Jewish immigrant story.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In notes only passing religious language ('ye of little faith'). Christian writers have long read Superman as a Christ-figure; this version leans less on that.
Muslim reviewers: We have not yet found a Muslim review of this title. If you know one, tell us and we will add it.

Wonder Woman
A princess made from clay and given life by Zeus is raised to destroy the god of war. She learns that people are not simply good or evil, and decides to fight for love rather than vengeance.
- al-Wadūd: The film imagines a hero who chooses love after seeing how cruel people can be; the Name describes the One whose love for creation is not a choice made against disappointment but His own nature.
- al-Khāliq: The film imagines a girl shaped from clay by her mother and brought to life by a god; the Name describes the One who alone creates, and from whom every life, clay or otherwise, receives its breath.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Depicts Greek gods (Ares on screen; Zeus in an animated story). These are mythological gods, not the God of the Abrahamic faiths.
Content check: this title pictures God.
Jewish reviewers: Gal Gadot, an Israeli actor, plays Diana; this drew attention in several countries, and the film was banned in Lebanon over her nationality and military service. Not a faith review, but part of the film's reception.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In notes the Greek myths are reworked freely and the 'lower-case gods' raise questions some families will want to discuss.
Muslim reviewers: No specific Muslim faith review found. The Clay-creation story may prompt comparison with the Qur'anic account of Adam (peace be upon him) made from clay (for example 15:26), a comparison that should be made carefully: the film's creator is Zeus.

Thor: Love and Thunder
A father whose daughter died while his god ignored his prayers sets out to kill every god. At the centre of the universe, a being called Eternity grants one wish. The film asks what a god owes those who pray.
- al-Mujīb: The film imagines a god who mocks a grieving father's prayer; the Name describes the One who hears and answers, and who is near to the one who calls (Qur'an 2:186).
- ar-Raḥmān: The film imagines self-satisfied gods feasting while their worshippers suffer; the Name describes the One whose mercy is the very first thing He tells us about Himself.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Depicts many invented and mythological gods, including Zeus as a vain comic figure. The anger at gods who ignore suffering is sincere and moving; the gods mocked are pagan or invented, not the God of Abraham.
Content check: this title pictures God, mocks a faith.
Jewish reviewers: The question 'where was God?' has a long Jewish tradition of lament, from Job to the Psalms.
Christian reviewers: No Plugged In page found at the expected address. Some Christian reviewers saw the film's portrait of gods as cynical about prayer; others read Gorr as a lament like the Psalms.
Muslim reviewers: The film's gods are idols in Qur'anic terms. Its central complaint, a prayer unanswered, can open a conversation about how Muslims understand prayer and patience.
Before you watch: 12A: moderate fantasy violence, injury detail, threat, horror, sex references (BBFC). The opening scene shows a child's death.

Moon Knight
Egyptian gods choose human avatars; one goddess wants to judge people for crimes they have not yet committed, and the dead pass through a hall where hearts are weighed on scales.
- al-Ḥalīm: The series imagines a goddess who punishes people before they have done anything wrong; the Name describes the One who is forbearing, and does not rush to punish even those who have.
- al-ʿAdl: The series imagines judgement weighed out on a scale in the afterlife; the Name describes the One who is justice itself, so that 'not an atom's weight' is overlooked (Qur'an 99:7-8).
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Depicts ancient Egyptian gods (Khonshu, Ammit, Taweret) and the Egyptian afterlife. Directed by the Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab. The hero, Marc Spector, is Jewish, and the series includes a shiva (Jewish mourning) scene.
Content check: this title pictures God.
Jewish reviewers: The hero's Jewish family and their mourning customs are shown with some care.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In notes these gods 'can be pretty terrible folks' and that the show contains violence and trauma themes.
Muslim reviewers: Egyptian audiences followed the show's Cairo setting with interest; the gods are ancient Egyptian, not Islamic. The weighing of deeds is a familiar idea in Islam (the mīzān).

Death Note
A student finds a notebook dropped by a death-god: write a name in it and that person dies. He decides to become 'the god of a new world', judging criminals in secret.
- al-Ḥakam: The series imagines a teenager making himself judge of the world; the Name describes the One whose judgement is perfectly fair and belongs to no one else.
- al-ʿAlīm: The series imagines a judge who knows only names and faces; the Name describes the One who knows every heart, every reason and every hidden thing.
- al-Ghaffār: The series imagines judgement with no forgiveness at all; the Name describes the One who forgives, again and again.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
'Shinigami' death-gods appear. Biblical imagery (an apple, foot-washing) is used throughout. Light's claim to be 'god' is the story's central sin.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: We have not yet found a Jewish review of this title. If you know one, tell us and we will add it.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In reads Light's attempt to 'become like God' as a story of the fall, and notes other characters argue 'no human should have the power of a god'.
Muslim reviewers: We have not yet found a Muslim review of this title. The story is a strong prompt for discussing why judgement belongs to God alone.

Attack on Titan
Humanity lives behind giant walls against man-eating giants. Later the story turns into a tale of ethnic hatred, inherited guilt and a hero who decides to destroy most of the world.
- al-Muqsiṭ: The series imagines generations punished for their ancestors' crimes; the Name describes the One who gives each person exactly their due, and no soul bears another's burden (Qur'an 6:164).
- as-Salām: The series imagines peace won only by annihilating the enemy; the Name describes the One who is Peace itself, the source of a peace no massacre can make.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Features a cult that worships the walls. Its later seasons deal with genocide; critics have debated whether its use of persecution imagery is thoughtful or troubling.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: Some critics and Jewish commentators have discussed the story's ghetto and armband imagery and whether it handles Holocaust parallels responsibly.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In notes 'horrific deaths, suicides' and a preacher who calls the walls 'a bulwark gifted by God'.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
A small creature offers girls any wish in exchange for becoming magical fighters, without telling them the price. One girl finally wishes to rewrite the law of the universe so that no one has to despair.
- al-Wahhāb: The series imagines wishes sold on a hidden contract; the Name describes the One who gives without small print.
- ar-Raḥīm: The series imagines a girl rewriting cosmic law out of compassion for every suffering soul; the Name describes the One whose mercy already embraces every soul, and who needs no rewriting.
- al-Mujīb: The series imagines prayers answered by a deceiver for his own gain; the Name describes the One who answers for the good of the one who asks.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
The heroine becomes a concept-like force, the 'Law of Cycles'; fans sometimes describe her as a goddess. This is fantasy, not a depiction of God.

Haibane Renmei
Young people with grey wings and halos wake in a walled town with no memory of their past lives. One is 'sin-bound' and must learn to ask for, and accept, forgiveness before she can leave.
- al-ʿAfuww: The series imagines a girl who believes her sin cannot be lifted; the Name describes the One who pardons so fully that the wrong is wiped away.
- at-Tawwāb: The series imagines forgiveness that depends on finding the right person to ask; the Name describes the One who turns towards anyone who turns to Him.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch

A thousand years after a war poisoned the earth, a princess finds that the toxic jungle is slowly cleaning the soil, and calms the giant insects others want to destroy.
- ar-Raʾūf: The film imagines a princess whose gentleness towards feared creatures saves her people; the Name describes the One whose tenderness towards every creature comes first.
- al-Jabbār: The film imagines a ruined earth quietly mending itself; the Name describes the One who mends what is broken.

The Sandman
Dream, one of seven 'Endless' beings, rules a realm of dreams; his sister Death gently collects people at the end of their lives. Death is imagined as a kind friend rather than a terror.
- al-Mumīt: The series imagines Death as a person with a job she did not choose; the Name describes the One who decrees death for each soul at its appointed time, with wisdom and mercy (Qur'an 3:145).
- al-Bāqī: The series imagines even the Endless can change and pass; the Name describes the One who remains when all else has passed (Qur'an 55:26-27).
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Builds its own pantheon and depicts Lucifer ruling Hell; Cain and Abel appear as characters. Plugged In says the author is 'comfortable in both using and mocking religious concepts and characters'.
Content check: this title mocks a faith.
Jewish reviewers: Cain and Abel (Genesis 4) appear as recurring characters in a re-imagined, darkly comic form.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In flags misuse of the names of God and of Jesus, nudity and the mocking use of biblical figures.
Muslim reviewers: Qābīl and Hābīl (Cain and Abel) are known from Qur'an 5:27-31; their use here is fictional. Iblis is not depicted as in Islamic teaching.

Thor: Ragnarok
The prophesied end of a world arrives and the heroes let it happen to save their people, discovering that 'Asgard is not a place, it's a people'. An apocalypse is played mostly for laughs.
- al-Wārith: The film imagines a home destroyed and its people carrying on elsewhere; the Name describes the One who inherits everything when every world has passed.
- al-Bāqī: The film imagines gods that can die and kingdoms that can burn; the Name describes the One who remains, 'everything perishes except His Face' (Qur'an 28:88).
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Norse gods and a goddess of death (Hela), a fire demon and the Norse end-of-the-world myth. Comic in tone.
Content check: this title pictures God.
Jewish reviewers: On Hey Alma, a Jewish culture site, Vanessa Bloom wrote “‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Helped Me See Myself as an Asian Jew” (18 January 2024). Learning that the director Taika Waititi is both Jewish and Māori helped her, a Chinese-born adoptee raised Jewish, see her own identity; she praises the film’s handling of adoption, colonialism and diaspora as community rather than geography.
Christian reviewers: Plugged In notes apocalyptic visions, the dead raised by Hela and a demon.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
An elf who lives for thousands of years realises, too late, how much her short-lived friends meant to her, and travels north to the place where souls are said to rest, hoping to speak with one of them again.
- al-Bāʿith: The series imagines a journey to the edge of the world to meet the dead once more; the Name describes the One who will raise the dead and bring them together.
- al-Bāqī: The series imagines an elf who outlives everyone she loves; the Name describes the One who truly remains, so that nothing loved for His sake is lost.

A living planet called Ego, a 'Celestial', plants seeds across the galaxy so that everything will eventually become him, and uses his own son to do it. The hero chooses the adoptive father who loved him.
- al-Aḥad: The film imagines a god-like being who wants everything to become part of himself; the Name describes the One who is utterly unique and leaves His creation free to be itself.
- al-Wadūd: The film imagines a father who loves his son as a tool; the Name describes the One whose love gives and does not use.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Two brothers try to bring their mother back with alchemy, whose first law is 'equivalent exchange': nothing is gained without something of equal value lost. Behind the Gate waits a being called 'Truth', and a villain who wants to absorb God.
- al-Wahhāb: The series imagines a universe that gives nothing without taking something equal back; the Name describes the One who gives freely, beyond any exchange.
- al-Ḥaqq: The series imagines 'Truth' as a mocking gatekeeper who charges a price for knowledge; the Name describes the One who is the Truth, the Real, and who guides rather than tolls.
- al-Wāḥid: The series imagines 'One is All, All is One' as an alchemist's motto; the Name describes the One who is one in a way nothing else is, not the sum of all things.

Christian reviewers: Common Sense Media rates it 13+ and notes its critique of false religion and of 'playing God'.

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Teenagers pilot giant machines against beings called Angels, while a secret council plans 'Human Instrumentality': merging every human soul into one to end loneliness.
- al-Aḥad: The series imagines all souls dissolved into one to escape pain; the Name describes the One who is unique and alone without need, and who keeps each soul as itself.
- al-Laṭīf: The series imagines lonely people who cannot reach one another; the Name describes the One who reaches the subtlest corners of every heart.
How the faiths have received it, and before you watch
Uses Christian and Kabbalistic symbols (crosses, the Tree of Life, 'Angels', the Lance of Longinus) largely as design; one of the makers, Kazuya Tsurumaki, has said they were chosen partly because they looked distinctive. The film The End of Evangelion adds nudity and crucifixion imagery.
Content check: it does not picture God or a prophet, and does not mock any faith.
Jewish reviewers: Kabbalistic diagrams (the Sefirot) appear on screen without their meaning; some Jewish viewers find this jarring.
Christian reviewers: Common Sense Media rates the series 14+. Some Christians object to sacred symbols used as decoration.

Mushishi
A wandering healer studies 'mushi', the simplest forms of life, closer to the source than plants or animals. Beneath the land flows a river of light from which all life comes.
- al-Ḥayy: The series imagines a river of light as the source of every life; the Name describes the One who is Ever-Living, from whom all life comes, and who is not Himself a current in the world.
- al-Laṭīf: The series imagines tiny beings no one else can see; the Name describes the One who is subtle, knowing and reaching the smallest things.
