    Father Merrin in the first movie perfectly describes the intentions of the demon: “think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as... animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us.” That’s the goal of Satan and his angels.

      Then Pazuzu accomplished that task.
      An omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent being to witness what that movie demonstrates indicates at the very least that God is indifferent to when we suffer. Effortlessly that being could stop what is going on in that movie, and he doesn't.
      For How Could An all-powerful being who loves his children, let this child suffer while offering no assistance and Pazuzu mocking everybody for trying, and mock God himself for not acting.

    • @ryanarment5393
      @ryanarment5393 Před 7 měsíci +42

      ​@idcyco3623 the problem was that until Father Merrin came in, there was no one with enough faith to deal with pazuzu. The mother had no faith. She was an atheist and the doctors were all approaching the problem from a strictly scientific approach and were lost when their methods failed. Even Father Karras who was an ordained priest was lost because he was unsure of his faith. In a way they already saw themselves as animal, base, and were trying to act alone without God.
      Father Merrin had embraced God's love. He was devoted and unshakable in his faith. Pazuzu hated him and was afraid because Father Merrin was capable of driving Pazuzu out. Father Karras had to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to successfully get Pazuzu to release Reagan.
      I look at it as this: the devil had to pull out all of the stops to get people to suffer and despair. His angel had to expose itself, use all of its powers and yet it was still bested by humans who just had to have faith.

      @@ryanarment5393 and that's a stupid problem. It shouldn't matter if the mom was an atheist, the child is innocent. And despite being an atheist, she's innocent too. Punishing someone for not believing you exist through their child is not a good way to get someone to believe in you as the loving caring being such a diety claims to be. It might make the atheist aware that a higher power exists, but that wouldn't make most believe IN that being as a benevolent being who watches over the innocent which Reagan was.. I would loathe that being for putting my child through that suffering just because I personally didn't believe they existed. F*** that noise. The dogmatic rules regarding these faiths is retarded.

    The reason Pazuzu, as a demon of wind, was associated with both causing and protecting from disease is that ancient people believed disease was caused by "bad air". A wind demon might bring such air to you, or drive it away from you, leading to this double aspect that seems odd to us.

      That is interesting. I could see Jews during the Babylonian Exile talking about Pazuzu rather than a Levantine demon thru sheer familiarity.
      Protective spells invoking Pazuzu would have been very common in Babylonia at the time, and the Jews may well have assumed this meant Pazuzu was a major deity (tho ofc as a demon, Pazuzu was not worshipped by the Babylonians, but compelled to act thru magic).

    Pazuzu will always be my favorite depiction of a demon because of two scenes.
    1: When father Karras sits with him for the first time he falsely introduces himself as the devil and asks Karras to remove the straps, to which Karras asks why he doesn’t just remove them himself and Pazuzu says “that’s much too vulgar a display of power, father Karras.” If you think about what a demon is, an entity of pure pride who tried to rebel against God Himself, it’s almost profound for Pazuzu to introduce himself as the devil, a stronger entity than he, and to be too proud to show even a fraction of his power to a priest. They truly nailed the idea that demons are first and foremost entities of pride made manifest.
    2: When father Merrin arrives at the house, before considering the sequels or prequels to aid the lore, you see Pazuzu in bed looking afraid. Before all he’d dealt with was scared onlookers, confused doctors, and father Karras who’s been having a crisis of faith, but now he’s about to come face to face with an elder clergyman who’s performed an exorcism before, who’s faith is unshakable, and who has no fear of demons. That tiny scene of Merrin standing in the street staring up at the house, feeling the evil radiating from that bedroom, and Pazuzu strapped to the bed looking terrified as he knows he’s in for a real fight is easily the single greatest scene of any exorcism-based movie.

    • @Badficwriter
      @Badficwriter Před 7 měsíci +1

      Regarding your first point: there's a comic book theory about displays of power by beings that sometimes receive worship. The idea is that acts must not be too common and familiar, or it lessens the entity in the human zeitgeist's eyes, causing it to be weaker. That is why the intelligent ones use certain ritualistic tricks, because it makes them seem greater in the human race consciousness and feeds them power. Famed writer Alan Moore used a variant of this by having a child get angry at a demon that fed on fear. The child began to rave at the demon, describing it as pathetic, unscary, even mice were scarier. The demon lost power, getting smaller and smaller until it was easily destroyed.
      I don't believe demons are real, in bibles or comic books, but the systems to explain them are interesting.

      Pazuzu had nothing to do with resurrection of Karras. It is clearly written it was the Devil himself who resurrected Karras for the Gemini killer to use. Pazuzu was not present during the events of Exorcist III. Would be illogical to give a demon such powers anyway, he could just re-possess anyone by resurrecting them. Highly illogical. What Karras did pissed off the Devil and he was punished for it.

      Father Karras was a misguided exorcist. A Catholic exorcist would never invite the demon into themselves. Neither would the priest commit suicide.

      This is well acknowledged in the book that the film is based on. "Fight evil with evil" is one of the first things Merrin says when he finds the amulet. And it's also explained that Pazuzu statues and amulets were used to protect yourself from other demons. Hence that line. There's no deals to be made. Pazuzu is known for his ability to dominate other demons and his will to fight them. He does that without any deals.

      It’s corruption and evil knows no bounds.

    What makes The Exorcist so scary is the idea that it could happen to anyone. The sequel undid that and made Reagan a very unique, special person that Pazuzu targeted. The sequel, while it had good ideas, was nonsensical in its execution of the material

    • @spinlok3943

      Exactly. It has a very “this can happen to you any time anywhere” factor. Not like other horror stories where you have to go somewhere like a haunted house, Forrest, or open sea for the horror to happen.

    • @alexorozcoulate
      @alexorozcoulate Před 7 měsíci

      I sort of agree. In the book the movie was based on, the psychological side is given as much plausibility as the methaphysical one. In that, you are right, it could happen to anyone.
      Given the premise of real supernatural entities, you may even picture a hierarchy within a disfunctional "family": the father/mother figure (the creator) is mostly absent, the first born shares traits (power) with the paternal figure, yet somehow the attention, if any, is given to the youngest and weakest (human kind). Jelousy and bitterness against the young and weak would be the result. Because the older child can hurt the sibling, he/she will, perhaps even to elicit an intervention from the creator itself.

    Your content is some of my favorite on CZcams.
    As a long time fan of the Exorcist and Exorcist III, as well as the books. I will say that the Pazuzu story line is largely absent from the first and third films and the books. William Peter Blatty was a devout Roman Catholic and it's Catholic demonology that he based his demon on. The demon is not one, but many. Legion. It's never named. The statue Merrin finds at the beginning of the first book and film are really just a plot device that was expanded on for the second film and many of the sequels. The Exorcist is basically two cannons; one about a crisis of faith, the other is demon lore.

      Well, sleep paralysis is a form of demonic oppression. Those who suffer from it frequently seem to see things when they awake, faces and figures holding them down. I used to get sleep paralysis quite often for probably a decade or longer, a time in which I had walked away from Jesus Christ. But, praise God, He eventually succeeded in bringing me back home to Him. I've not been afflicted with sleep paralysis a single time in the four-and-a-half years since my return.

    4:59 If you read the Exorcist novel (which the film is based on), Pazuzu says everything he does is by design. His target was always Father Karras. Which is why the film puts so much emphasis on him from the very beginning. He isn't doing this for mayhem, but to have "another jewel in his crown: a priest". This is why he makes his presence known to Merrin in Iraq. The MacNeils just happened to be close enough to be used to get to Karras and end Merrin.

You can't leave out the influences of things like Dungeons & Dragons (in which Pazuzu and Dagon are prominent demon lords), Warhammer (which features the Chaos God 'Nurgle'), and the grand daddy of all cosmic horror himself, H.P. Lovecraft (whose 'Deep Ones' not only worshiped the twin-deities of 'Father *Dagon* and Mother Hydra, but he also wrote a short story literally titled *Dagon*).

    A bower parodies the guillotine.

    with bowed foreheads and lips about to meet
    where in Love’s kiss eternity is fetched.
    This bond assists the newlywed’s escape,
    and laughing at the hooves behind their backs.
    The horseman’s tricked to stop at thrown bouquets,

It wants to hurt you and everything else in existence because that is the nature of its own existence.
