The First Omen / int_1888979e	type	Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist
The First Omen / int_1888979e	comment	Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Father Brennan notes the conspirators aren't motivated by genuine religion, but because they want to gain power and religion is a convenient way to do it. Luz, Sister Sylvia, and Cardinal Lawrence certainly believe they're working in God's interest, but both Brennan's words and their actions make it very clear they're motivated entirely selfishly.

Additionally, it introduces a twin sister character, a concept completely absent from the first film. Crossing over with Spared by the Adaptation: the first movie says Damian's mother died in childbirth, but Margaret survives. Also, the original film doesn't really hide the fact that Damian's father is the Devil, in this film it could either be the Devil or just another demon, as the Devil or Satan is never mentioned by name during the film.

The First Omen / int_e3c36782	type	Call-Forward
The First Omen / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: Nearly all of the death scenes in the film. To wit; Father Harris is killed by a metal pole falling from a church roof, much like Brennan in The Omen (1976). However, instead of being impaled, the metal knocks a considerable portion of the back of his head off. Anjelica stands on the edge of a balcony saying, "It's all for you" in reference to the conspiracy, in a reference to Damian's nanny doing this as the first onscreen death in The Omen (1976). In a mild case of Not His Sled, she sets herself on fire before then hanging herself, as in the original. Paolo, like Jennings in The Omen (1976) and Doctor Kane in Damien: Omen II, is killed after providing a vital clue to the protagonist. Like those who follow him chronologically, he's respectively hit by a car, and then gruesomely bisected, although here, Paolo dies when Margaret provides Worst Aid.
