Didn't the Harry Potter films have a similar problem, with Neville Longbottom's actor winding up looking very un-Neville-like by the end?

Neville was a stone cold fox by the last movie and everyone had to say dialogue about how this very handsome man was lumpy and undesirable

It wasn't directly a problem for most of the young cast of Game of Thrones because they were supposed to age along with the show. It is however hilarious to see Sophie Turner quickly growing into a giant that towers over her peers.

Him growing up to be a very handsome young man did kind of jive with his slow transformation into a true hero though so I didn't find it all that jarring, but then again I'm a straight male so what do I know.

Yeah, that became quite noticeable from S4 and onwards. In cases of both GoT and HP though, it is cool to see young actors steadily getting better at their craft. For all the scorn people have heaped on someone like Kit Harrington (and to be fair, he remains a fairly limited actor), his acting in the final seasons is much, much better than it was in S1.

Okay, so ignoring the whole thing where Jesus is a prophet in Islam too so killing him would probably be a major faux pas (I'm assuming the terrorists are never explicitly said to be but are hard coded as Muslim in this), why would killing Jesus with a gun a few days before he was killed by crucifixion even change anything? Can he not resurrect from a bullet wound?

Terminator solved this problem 35 years ago and they didn't even need to. Plus then we'd get that hot Mary boob shot during the sex scene.

There was a Danish scifi story where the scientists drunkenly think up wild ideas for how to test if time travel works, so they end up deciding to kidnap Jesus, and indeed christianity still exists, the only difference is that the symbol is the fish instead of the cross. Then they dump Jesus in 1960s Copenhagen and he becomes the figurehead of a cult against his will and there's a nuclear war.

Also that movie is literally the Mad TV sketch lol

Since the whole point of Jesus being incarnated was ostensibly for him to get killed and thus redeem humanity's sins, you'd think the nefarious evil scheme of the time-travelers would be to save his life

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
fuckin' hell, what a bad scene. Besides the goofy-rear end writing, the director must have told the guy playing Jesus to move slowly and stiffly and to not show too much emotion. Makes him seem inhuman, although I guess maybe that's the point.

I like how in the that scene jesus says "hey god, you can do anything and change anything" and then 5 seconds later is like "this is the way it must be, it cannot be changed." I mean, that contradiction has always been there in Christian theology, but it's funny how they juxtaposed it so closely.

It also handily solves the vexing questions "Did Jesus speak English?" and "Did Jesus know what films are?"

From everything else I hear from straight women, very much so. Pretty sure they made the last couple movies more action-focused specifically to show that off. (though they left out that he was on fire while he beheaded the evil snake with a magic sword) Dumpy kid growing up to be a badass goes perfectly well with his arc, yes.
