Feast of Dionysus - Not Last Supper

They are comparing it with the works of artists born thousands of years later which are not authentic. It's like complaining about Santa Claus not having a red suit, white beard and reindeer, like in the bible.

If you don't think that was a veiled shot at Christians using the Olympus theme as what they believe to be plausible deniability you're kidding yourself.

The resemblance to the Last Supper painting by da Vinci is more than suspicious, particularly the poses.

At least Mel Brooks didn't hide the fact he was poking fun at the last supper.

And even if we close our minds and accept that picture is supposed to be only the feast of Dionysus and not a big middle finger to Christians, why transvestites?

You liars can stop trying to gaslight. Barbara Butch who was the fatso at the center of The Last Supper parody table tweeted calling herself Olympic Jesus. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GTmsKqcXwAAPoSz?format=jpg&name=large

Clearly not. The composition was different.
And, frankly, no one would stage a world event performance based on a painting of a not very famous 17th century Dutch artist.

It’s both.

There were 12 segments all representing French culture. The segment in discussion is the 8th called “Festivity.”

It “paid tribute to French fashion with an inclusive runway show and party on a footbridge over the Seine, featuring drag queens and a transgender model. At one point in the sequence, several performers posed at the side of the runway, which doubled as a long dining table, in an artfully composed tableau that reminded some viewers of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” the Renaissance masterpiece depicting Jesus Christ and the apostles. Later, in a portion of the sequence that did not air on NBC but was widely shared on social media, French entertainer Philippe Katerine appeared as Dionysus, the Greek god of wine-making, nearly naked, painted blue, and singing on a giant platter of fruit.

The 12 segments that represent French culture were:
1. Enchanté – A warm welcome, setting the tone for the ceremony.
2. Synchronicity – Showcasing harmony and unity among the participating nations and cultures.
3. Liberty – For the French value of liberty, inspired by historical events like the French Revolution.
4. Equality – Another of the key French values, including gender equality (a first in the Games) and the celebration of significant women in French history.
5. Fraternity – Brotherhood and solidarity among nations and people.
6. Sisterhood – For the role and achievements of women in various aspects of life and history.
7. Sportsmanship – For the spirit of fair play, respect, and camaraderie in sports.
8. Festivity – The celebratory and joyous aspects of French culture, including music and dance.
9. Darkness – Reflecting on the challenging and darker periods in history, such as wars and revolutions.
10. Solidarity – Unity and mutual support, especially during crisis or hardship.
11. Solemnity – Reflection and remembrance.
12. Eternity – Concluding with the timelessness of cultural heritage and values.” (LA Times)

Another controversial one was Marie Antoinette holding her head. (This is could be both no. 3 Liberty (and No. 9 Darkness - not sure).) This was at the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned before her execution, the French heavy metal band Gojira performed the revolutionary song "Ah! ça ira."
