I was watching "Escape from L.A." the other day, as one do, and it got me thinking how Snake Plissken could have been the antichrist of the movie. He "doomed" humanity by throwing it back to the dark ages by inputting a three-digit code in a remote that cause EMP across the world. The code was "6-6-6". However Plissken spite against humanity wasn't out of evil, but because he saw the evil in those in power, such as the "life term president" who turned L.A. into a wasteland of degenerates as well as a place for "un-Americans" to be dumped because he believed he was doing Gods will.
Plissken was also known as "Snake", and he was sent into enclosed places which, while to the inhabitants, is regarded their own paradise, and he effectively ruin the social order of these imprisonments just as the snake in Eden did.
Just saying that, I've seen media that also portray the antichrist as misunderstood or not inherently evil (Good Omens also comes to mind)
Of course, emphasizing with the antichrist, especially given we don't know who the real antichrist will be, could be dangerous as he may turn out as evil as Christians believe he will be.
The "evil" thing of course if it's from the viewpoint of the majority of human or at least for the sake of the future for the humankind.
In God's viewpoint in the cosmic scale, nothing is really matter.
God is beyond the duality between of good and evil.
He/She could wiped the earth and replace human with dinosaurs again if He/She feel human isn't worthy.
But like Rabindranath Tagore said,
"Every child that is born is proof that God has not yet given up on human beings."
And with super-rich elite families that are completely detached from the common people, whose children are conditioned to believe in their superiority and learn politics and control, would likely end up as one of them.
Could be. Also that sounds like the Al Pacino's family in Devil's Advocate.
Still when Keanu Reeves called them as the AntiChrist, Al Pacino just laugh since he doesn't really care about the term.
All that he want is just *spoiler*.
