History YMMV / OmenIIITheFinalConflict

* ValuesDissonance: It's very easy to read homoerotic subtext into Damien's relationship with Peter, [[FoeYay and even Jesus]]. And even when he has sex with Kate, he turns her over midway through to rape her anally, then goes to sleep on the floor in the room with his Jesus statue. At the time this movie was made, it was very common to "Queer Code" villains so that the audience would find them that much more odd and disturbing.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: the other six priests with the daggers, given how five of them were wiped out in two attacks. At the least, it might have been nice to see one last long enough to fill the {{Sidekick}} role for De Carlo.

* BrokenBase: There's a small debate over what Damien truly meant at the end of the movie ("Nazarene, you have won nothing"): Did he mean that as a pitiful "NoYou" to the Messiah after finally being defeated or was it an implied threat that he still wins despite being killed. There's no middle ground over what the final line could mean.

* Narm: Damien caressing the Jesus statue.

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: TheAntiChrist is weakened after an angry mother stabbed him in the back, then Christ appears and strikes the now-mortal Damien down without so much as a word. He of course remains DefiantToTheEnd.]]
* CompleteMonster: We are introduced to a grown-up Damien Thorn, and we also discover that he became the Ambassador of Great Britain. He decrees that every baby boy born on March 24, 1982, [[NiceJobBreakingItHerod be]] [[WouldHurtAChild executed]] when he realized that the Second Coming of Christ was imminent. Among other atrocities, Damien coldly brainwashes Barbara into killing her husband and son with a clothes iron. Any redeeming traits that he may have had in the other films quickly dissipate once he gets romantically involved--and later rapes--a female journalist. Always the [[ManipulativeBastard charismatic figure]], Damien manipulates manipulates the journalist's young son into discipleship, only to remorselessly use him as a HumanShield when De Carlo attempts to kill him. Demonic, malicious, and blasphemous, Damien craved to fling the Earth into [[HellOnEarth eternal damnation]].

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Damien is walking in the park with Kate, his personal hellhound can be seen playing fetch with Peter in the foreground. It seems to be very possessive of the stick.

* CompleteMonster: We are introduced to a grown-up Damien Thorn, and we also discover that he became the Ambassador of Great Britain. At this point in his life, he had fully come to terms with his role as the Antichrist, and any redeeming factors that he had in the previous films had vanished at this point in time. When he realized that the Second Coming was on the horizon, he makes a decree that every baby boy in England that was born on March 24, 1982, [[NiceJobBreakingItHerod be sentenced to death]] as a means of stopping the Christ child from being reborn. Along the way, he gets romantically involved with a female journalist, whom he then rapes, and he also manipulated her son into following him. He later uses said son as a HumanShield when Father De Carlo attempted to use the Dagger of Megiddo against him. Damien then tries to strangle the priest to death. Damien also manipulated Barbara into killing her husband with an iron, and she unintentionally helps Damien in his attempt to kill the Christ child by killing her baby.
