Regarding the number of the beast and all the other eschatology in popular media.
If you are going to go biblical just focus on God the creator and the express image of his person, The Lord Jesus. The primary place to focus is on God, the creator of being (you/us) and the salvation offered in the Lord Jesus.
Both believers and and non non-believers are being bombarded with christian/antichristian themes and stories continually.
Don't lose the real Christian narrative in the noise.
