The Passion of the Christ is, of course, partially based on the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, but I don't recall people complaining about extra-biblical material in that film. One of the most moving scenes in the movie is when Jesus meets his mother on the Via Dolorosa (itself an extra-biblical event!) and quotes himself from the Apocalypse: "See Mother, I make all things new!", which was just a brilliant inspirational moment.
We have greatly enjoyed the first two seasons of The Chosen, and appreciated the creative ways it filled in mysterious details from the Gospels. Why did Peter tell Jesus "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man"? How did Mary Magdalene meet Christ? What did Jesus mean when he told Nathaniel "When I saw you under the fig tree, I knew you"? The Chosen provides highly satisfying (if speculative) answers to these questions.
I am very interested in seeing how Dallas Jenkins approaches the Bread of Life discourse. This may be a make-or-break moment. But I am encouraged by his portrayal of Mary as actively involved in her Son's ministry, and of the mutual affection between herself and Jesus, so we'll see.
The ethnic diversity was a little jarring at first, but I took it as an allegory for the universal nature of the Gospel.
I saw The Remnant (with which I usually agree) published a snarky, mean-spirited article about The Chosen, which lived up to several negative stereotypes about Catholic traditionalists. I think the show is on balance a very good thing (so far), and look forward to Season 3.

No, Christ was definitely fair-skinned, nothing like the image you posted on your sources

Do you happen to have a source on Pope John Paul II's statement regarding Revelation 12?
Yes; it's source #4!
