What You Think Of Lucifer Morningstar?

I think depicting lucifer as a strapping young business is the most cliche thing you can do with demonologic myth.

How its cliche? Lucifer is a magnificent bastard. His cunning, sophisticated, and aristocratic.

Tom Ellis is the best actor on any comic book tv show

I don't disagree, but I think the majority of the time it's been pulled off rather well for him.

As a character, I like him very much. Aside from his appearance, he's exactly how I would imagine the devil to act and think.

However, with about the fourth trade the series got stale for me and felt like a bible fan-wank. Felt a bit like Fables, only for mythology instead of fairy tales. I still read it to the end and particularly liked the last issue, but the road there was paved with boredom for me.

Meh. I loved the comic, but I also love reading theology, apart from the fact that the name Lucifer is purely Latin fanfiction ( the name Helel may o may not refer to the devil, but to a prideful human king ) i'd love a story in which Satan is represented as being the lapdog of God, only capable of causing mischief when allowed and easily defeated by people of good spirit
Modern horror and comics depict him as this invincible demon that can do whatever he pleases to people, kinda boring in the long run and inaccurate
Even the depiction of him being the favorite children of God is misused together with the false syncretism between him and Prometheus (the fruit was of the knowledge of good and evil, not of wisdom)
In truth Satan is a little bitch in both scripture and theology
Sorry for the long read, i did love the comic but i found the depiction a cliche

well to be honest "Lucifer"'s depiction is Bible-accurate in the regard that both brothers ARE God's bitches, and eventually both, being almost as omnipotent are hella mad about it.

I like that for all his posturing he is no different from Michael, as they are both children refusing to grow up.

Grow up and do what exactly? Lucifer exited creation like he always needed to, there was no alternative.

And be their own men. Michael is stuck as a small child, holding the word of his father above all else and Lucifer is a rebel teen, trying to be as much of a contrarian to his old man as possible. The ending with him leaving God's creation is a metaphor for growing up and moving out of your parents' house.

Agreed on Michael, but Lucifer seemed to be on a similar path from the start of the series. The real contrast would be with more distant periods - the War in Heaven and his unfulfilling career as the curator of Hell.

He is insurrection, he is spite, he is the force that made me be.
