It was not the last supper but a representation of the greek god Bacchus, since of course the Olympics have a greek origin. I find it funny that christians got so triggered.
A lot of Christians don't realize how heavily influenced their religion is is by other more pagan and polytheistic religions.

No, the blue smurf dude was Bacchus. This was a different part.
Blue dude is Philippe Katerine. He is know for doing weird things. About his show in the ceremony he declared to the press "I was cold and I liked it" article in French

NBC didn’t even broadcast this part of the ceremonies, people who are upset about this are looking to get upset.
The real news story here is that NBC is apparently censoring the Olympics.

The entire opening ceremony was riddled with elements that were exaggerated specifically to give the middle finger to people who can't help but force their personal religious beliefs on others. And seeing how riled up they've been getting over it, I must say it worked.

This is really killing me. The Last Supper is a fucking painting. It ain't in the book. There's no part of the Bible where it says and Jesus sat down at a stupidly long table and all of his asshole Apostle sat down on the same side and posed weirdly. Why is the painting suddenly holy? Since when do conservatives like art? I've never met a conservative who didn't want to burn most paintings.
Judas: so lets get this last supper going.
Jesus: the what supper?
Judas: good supper, nice supper, normal supper!

Dipshits don’t even get it’s this based on this painting https://musee-magnin.fr/en/node/19 which is in a French museum, about the gods of Olympus, and includes the lyre you see in the recreation. It’s not the last supper which is in Italy and not in France. Similar framing of course - clearly on purpose - but who cares. What dumbasses, outrage machine go burrr
I wish conservative Christians were educated enough to know what a bacchanalia is.

Imagine you're the master race, confident and strong and then some people wear different clothes than you expected on TV and your whole world is just shattered lol.
Oh no, the poor christians and conservatives who rather see us at the burning stake than acknowledge that their God created us queer-people just like we are. Fuck em that they felt hurt looking at this display, we were and are constantly hurt!
Surely there have never been any parodies of the Last Supper before this one.
(I'm partial to this one)

It was supposed to be the Last Supper?
I totally didn't get that.
Also, I was hoping for a real drag show when I saw them, but instead I got a sort of "gender bent catwalk" thing. Boo.
It was supposed to be a representation of a bacchanal or dionisya. There are dozens of paintings of those celebrations that look sorta like the last supper, if you squint very hard and turn off your brain.
NBC's coverage only detracted from the ceremony. They cut most of the fashion show. And the hosts did nothing to explain or put the various acts in cultural context.
For those who don't like the queer fashion show, no one is forcing you to watch it. It's a cultural expression of the host country. It's like going to Gramany and hating the beer or the Netherlands and hating the tulips.

I'm also pissed at the Olympics this year, mostly because I got stuck one hour on the road, but maybe I just don't want to admit how dumb I was to not avoid Paris on my trip to the west... nah it's them! not me!
Rankled is a kind of default status of most conservatives, and the way I most prefer them to be.
I like them to be discomfited too.
And stilted. Stilted is nice.
It wasn't even the last supper, it was referencing Greek stuff from what I have heard
