Russell Crowe Movie Makes use of Dragon Age Icon For Spanish Inquisition

I haven’t seen The Pope’s Exorcist, the horror film starring Gladiator and Lovely Thoughts actor Russell Crowe out in theaters proper now, but it surely sounds just like the movie is fairly middling, and that Crowe can’t elevate the poor tackle supernatural demons within the Catholic church. Frankly, I hadn’t heard of it earlier than right now, and the explanation I lastly did is definitely fairly hysterical. See, the movie, which by the way is billed as being “impressed by the precise recordsdata” of the Vatican’s chief exorcist, sees Crowe’s character studying some chilling issues a couple of founding father of the Spanish Inquisition. And in accordance with individuals who have seen the movie, it makes use of artwork from Dragon Age: Inquisition when referring to the real-world, Spanish one.

The Inquisition in BioWare’s fantasy collection is the faction the participant instructions within the 2014 RPG, and it has a logo it makes use of to symbolize the group all through. It reveals a watch with a sword behind it, which is a reference to 2 in-universe constellations referred to as Visus and Judex. You see the sigil on armor units, flags, and different props all through Dragon Age: Inquisition. On high of displaying up within the sport and on merchandise, it additionally reveals up in the event you search “Inquisition image” on Google, and it looks like that’s what the Pope’s Exorcist workforce did for a scene within the movie, as a result of they use the Dragon Age iconography in a scene the place it’s speaking in regards to the Tribunal of the Holy Workplace of the Inquisition, the real-world spiritual establishment that was answerable for centuries of violence towards non-Catholics from the 1400s to the 1800s in Spain.

I snort by way of the ache as a result of it feels like we gained’t get Dragon Age: Dreadwolf anytime quickly, since writer EA’s earnings report earlier this week stated the sport wouldn’t be out in 2023. It’s been virtually a decade since Dragon Age: Inquisition launched in 2014, so followers have been ready a protracted whereas to see the conclusion to the Solas storyline launched on the finish of that sport’s Trespasser DLC. Although the collection has had some indicators of life by way of initiatives like Netflix’s anime collection Dragon Age: Absolution, now the latest factor I’ve seen of Dragon Age has been in a spiritual horror film slapping its iconography right into a scene and not using a second thought. Dorian Pavus, I miss you. Name me.
