seaborgium posted:Depends on if the guns were licensed, but there's probably something. It's the Devil though, he'll lawyer up and be out of it shortly. Mark Pellegrino has pretty much ruined anyone else playing Lucifer. His performance in season 5 of Supernatural was pretty much perfect. I'm giving this show a chance ignoring the fact that I'm a huge fan of the comic, and so far it just seems like Constantine 2, with a smarmier lead.

EricFate posted:Been a long time since I read the Sandman books, but I seem to recall Duma and Remiel had it pretty well covered after Lucifer left. Of course, if they decide to do the Elaine Belloc story arc, that could go right out the window. I can't see them going the Elaine route. Doesn't fit the feel of the book. Likely the cop is his secret daughter or something, possibly they'll say her original name before given up for adoption was Elaine. That's about as far as I can see them going.

Wade Wilson posted:In comic books, Nephilim are basically the kids of any angel and any human, though they tend to be fallen angels that were the fathers because of the whole disobeying God thing. It's a possibility that the lady detective is a replacement for the Elaine Belloc character in the books (sign of true old age, can't remember the cops name and I watched an episode last night, yet remember Elaine from a book I read 10 years ago). In the books, Elaine is a young girl that Lucifer is interested in for some mysterious reason, and it turns out that she's exactly that, the daughter of Michael, the only angel who can procreate .

Game of Thrones is one of my favorite shows and I can easily tell you the names of the main Lannisters and Starks, but all the secondary characters? Nope. I have an atrocious memory for that stuff. Yet can tell you every character from the Dragonlance books I read when I was 8...

Snak posted:This episode is the first time Amenadiel has been fleshed out and I really liked what they did. In the books (Sandman, pre-Lucifer series), when Lucifer decides to abandon Hell he gives the key to Morpheus (The Sandman) to give away to whom he feels is the best candidate. Spoiler for a 25 year old comic - in the end, he gives the key to hell to the two angels, Duma and Remiel, who were sent to watch the proceedings of entities competing for Hell. Remiel is initially horrified that he has to leave Heaven to take over, but comes to realize that he can do good for the damned souls. Amenadiel kind of strikes me as a parallel to Remiel.

At this point Lucifer (at least believes he isn't) isn't invulnerable. He is actually relatively scared of dying and going back to Heck.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:drat that Angela  I groaned a bit when they brought out the Maz "daggers that can hurt Lucifer and Amenadiel" bit, that's getting a bit TOO close to Supernatural territory.  I'm really surprised how enjoyable this show is...I was so angry they were adapting one of my favorite books into a crap TV show, it was a pleasant surprise that it's genuinely enjoyable. At least my pessimism still has to look forward to Preacher being ruined, and then American Gods later on down the road...

Someone mentioned that it would be cool if the escapee from Hell was someone like Judas and it got me thinking, this show is more like the comic Chronicles of Wormwood than the comic Lucifer. It has the base premise of Lucifer abandoning hell, but the actual character reminds me quite a bit of Danny Wormwood. Son of the devil who doesn't really like the whole plan that he start the apocalypse, so he says gently caress it and just lives his life.

muscles like this! posted:Azrael is the angel of death, aka the one God sends out to do stuff like kill all the first born sons of Egypt. Death is of the Endless, one of 7 beings that are personifications of universal constants. And honestly I'm kind of disappointed that Lucifer is going with Azrael. There are a million other angels they could have used, but no, they have to go with the same name that Gotham decided to desecrate too. muscles like this! posted:Azrael is the angel of death, aka the one God sends out to do stuff like kill all the first born sons of Egypt. Death is of the Endless, one of 7 beings that are personifications of universal constants. Correct, except of course in Vertigo comics the regular Angel of Death retired in the 1800s and melted down his sword....

VendaGoat posted:Wait! WHOA! Hold up a second. The difference between this one and, say, Preacher is that Lucifer just throws away the source and became a good show in it's own right. Preacher went a completely different direction than the comic except it tries to keep name recognition and became a mess. Walking Dead is a bit different because Kirkman is heavily involved so the books are written with the show in mind.

Zebulon posted:That was an amazing episode. Amanadiel actually feeling confident and sure of himself and just standing as an iron wall against security while framed against that doorway was a beautiful shot and I kept expecting to see his wings just burst out of his back from him finally feeling worthy of them again. That was an amazing scene. He played it perfectly, the determination and grit - no more doubting himself, he realizes Lucifer has been right all along. Show is better than it had any right to be.

Preacher to me is the exact opposite of Lucifer. Completely changed the characters and their driving motivations from the comic, but still tried to "remain faithful" to the source which led to a pretty bad show. If they had just gone full blown "screw the comics" like Lucifer it probably would have been a lot better. Some people really love it. If you didn't like the first few episodes it's not going to change for you.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:This is Lucifer's eventual conclusion in the comic series. Midway through he creates his own universe to rule over and do a better job than God only to realize that this, too, is part of God's plan because Lucifer is still God's creation. The series eventually ends the only way it could after this: God's successor grants Lucifer's final wish and releases him from all of Creation, symbolically releasing him from the author's creation too and thus ending the series. Only to bring the book back "ruining" a great ending

Seemed weird to have an ad for another network's show unless someone just messed up and didn't edit out a real billboard Wouldn't have been a "real" billboard, but probably something they used before and didn't edit the code to have a different show on it. Though who knows, Networks are no longer competing against each other, they SHOULD be banding together to fight streaming.

Polygynous posted:I was assuming it was something he did, it's just muddled by a random mugger possibly getting ~*~mysterious ways-ed~*~ into existence to bonk him on the head after he leaves the message. Which will presumably be explained in the fall. I assumed it was Maze that clocked him and left him in the desert to burn as payback for Linda getting burned. Also, the end was kind of a nice nod to the comics which ended with Lucifer abandoning reality to create his own universe.
