Feeling guilty after watching a movie

HatedByAll said:

We are called to be wise stewards of our time. This includes how we spend our time on entertainment. To say don't watch movies is being Legalistic. But watching how we spend our time because we trust that the best way for us to spend our time in prayer, Bible study, and doing Christian service is a very wise way to live our lives.

Keeping up with cultural influences is helpful for those who wish to have something to use to connect with others, so there is value in watching movies and TV. Just watch the balance of your time and be aware of how desensitized we all become to the influence of sin. Kid movies today have plots and language that did not even exist in adult movies from the Fifty's. Do we just redraw the line in the sand farther and farther back?

There is no easy answer.

So I recently watched a movie called "Justice League Dark: Apokolips War"(highly recommend if you're a comics geek like me).

But I felt guilty watching it. I think its come from me watching that Andrew Tiner guy that says entertainment is a sin. I don't watch him anymore, but his words still play in my head to condemn me.

Another reason why I felt guilty is because of an African YouTuber named Peniel Ngonde. He says that all cartoons are satanic, and superheroes are satanic too. Look at his channel, I couldn't for too long because it brought me great fear that I would be condemned to Hell for watching cartoons.

Could this be the Holy Spirit convicting me, or just leftover brainwashing from these guys?
