Skwirl posted:Steel himself was fine, it's that it was one of the first comics I read where I actually absorbed the lore and also at the time Lex Luthor was pretending to be his own son and Supergirl was a purple alien that was dating Lex Luthor. As someone who was not reading DC at the time but picked up a handful Reign of the Supermen books, that poo poo confused me.

Maze uses the half-rotted face on the show a bunch. It would be expensive and hard to act in if they did it all the time.  The show is great.

When I heard Lucifer was going to be a procedural I said no thanks. I have heard that the show is pretty good though but why have it be "based" on the comic

I'm not completely current with Lucifer, but IMO the procedural stuff is infinity preferably to Lucifer's interminable pining over "The Detective"

I'll forever be salty that there's basically no chance of ever getting a decent adaptation of Carey's 75-issue run on Lucifer now, no matter how good or not good the current TV show is.

If it isn't too much of a spoiler could someone tell me if Lucifer creates an atheistic pocket universe in the TV show. This might get me interested in watching it

He rips a hole in reality at one point but it was a deus ex machina and you never see inside it and he never goes there and tells them not to worship any gods, and there's probably no sentient life inside it.

Skwirl posted:There was someone who complained that making Death black when she looks white in the comics would be the same as making Mazakeen in Lucifer white when she'd been portrayed as black in the Lucifer comics. Mazikeen was white in the comics. I like the show but I was a little annoyed about the portrayal of Mazikeen, not her skin color, but the fact that all of the skin on her face was there. Felt like a betrayal of the character. In Carey's spin-off Lucifer, after the destruction of Lux Jill Presto finds a burned and dying Mazikeen in the wreckage and heals her with the Basanos. But because Jill didn't know what Mazikeen really looked like, she assumes her facial injuries had been sustained in the calamity and heals those too. Lucifer comments that Jill will want to be a long, long way away when Mazikeen wakes up. I'm not going to go into more detail, but let's just say that Mazikeen agrees with you.

BrianWilly posted:She talked about interacting with aliens a few times, but I don't believe it was ever depicted. Dream is the one who turned into a big flaming head when Martian Manhunter sees him. During the Death mini where she spends one day a year as a mortal she talks about how much more fun eating is than photosynthesis or having batteries installed and the kid with her asks 'huh' and she just says she's been doing it a long time.

Vandar posted:Death, the Black Racer, and the death Flash are all different characters! The Endless Death is the universal concept of Death, like all the Endless are. It's also why they appear in any form from humans, to Martians, and even cats. The Black Flash is the death for people touched by the Speed Force, probably because those people are capable of transcending space and time. Black Racer is the New Gods god of death that possesses the body of a crippled Vietnam vet and is on skies because uh, yeah. EDIT: I guess it's implied in Sandman that all these aspects in one way or another go back to the Endless but it seems to be more of a minor aspect thing than it actually being the full Endless.

If memory serves the angle they went with Nekron was that as an emotional entity he's not actually Death or tied to her on a conceptual level but more a representation of how sentient beings feel about death made manifest

I'm particularly fond of that issue of Sandman by Alpha Neil Gaiman where Dream wins the riddle contest in hell by putting out his cigar on the devil's face.
