I take it they are retconning it so that Damian is no longer born of a jackel.

Too bad. I thought that revelation was both creepy and weirdly funny in the original Omen.

Unfortunately that is true. After receiving multiple complaints from the World Jackal Society, they decided that someone playing a part jackal who actually is 100% human is taking jobs from real Jackal/Human hybrids. That's always been a problem in Hollywood and I, for one, am glad that they are finally addressing it.

As a long time supporter of the World Jackal Society I'm more than happy about this.

Once they merge with the Allied Hyena League, that group will be too powerful to stop!

Do you want an answer here or waiting to see it?

It turns out, the Antichrist's mother was a hamster and his father smelled of elderberry.

Yeah, that was a hell of a plot twist. I haven't been that blindsided since the end of the Departed.

African or European Antichrist?

Thank you for that key addition.

That was the creepiest part of the original - seeing the jackel skeleton in the coffin. This stupid movie ruins that whole storyline.

I was waiting to see how they were gonna work in the jackal-mother thing - and then they just didn't bother! Ridiculous.
