What if some other movie maker wants to depict some other historical figure, male or female, being tortured to death?Guess you missed Braveheart? Good man, outnumbered, betrayed by (some) of his own people, sentenced to die by a cruel occupying ruler. Then tortured and executed as his own people watch on silently... then followed up with a brief but inspirational ending.
It could be argued that Mel Gibson already did The Passion. Just the names/dates/places were changed.

This isn't the kind of violence that Christians protest against, anyway. Really, when movie is rated "R", what's to protest?
Let's talk television violence. Video game violence. Violence in "PG" rated movies. I must have missed TPOTC video game coming out? TPOTC being shown on televions? Maybe I missed the "PG" rating?
This point, as well as the other 4 points the author tried to make, are all lethally flawed.
