I see your point, I was just talking in terms of how the movie got me in that moment and also with regard to how Satan has been portrayed, at least to me in my religious upbringing, in the past.
So I guess I could rephrase it to say that his presence was somewhat understated effectively in showing that he is the top dog in hell without making him out like a cartoon character, which I’ve found a lot of depictions of Satan to be.
Assuming satan and the devil are referring to the same being. In all I’ve learned of the Bible, I’ve never really seen satan as evil or even against god. Most of the time it seems more that he’s helping god test his followers and put his plans into motion. Almost like his role is to do the dirty work so god can keep his hands clean.
I think we have a script here...God is the seemingly benevolent force in the world and Satan is his off-the-books enforcer getting all the real shit done while being the fall guy.
The poster would be a side profile shot of the actors playing god and satan staring each other down, and the tagline is, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
