They keep you hanging in the end with a cliff hanger about "mum" and then it finally comes on and she doesn't show up until the last seconds and then - I hear "Coming in 2 weeks" WTF. The new season started already and they are going to miss a week for what now>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can sum up what he's trying to say in one word "Integrity" and without being rude. I'm not defending him,but he does have a valid point in the "comic" sense.. This is basically just another (in a long line of)original comic book characters that are getting butchered.
They killed The Black Canary on Arrow for a bunch of freaking shippers. I digress, in a hardcore comic book fans eyes. The absolute worse thing you can do, is make a mockery of a comic character as HUGE as Lucifer or Batman or Superman or Green Lantern or The Flash. I hated the last X Men and I hated what they have done to Arrow.
Van Helsing is a graphic novel and I had really high hopes.First episode not so good,second episode a little better. It's like all the show runners,creative teams want to cash in on comic characters,but they wont stick close enough to the source material and or go completely in another direction.So I made a decision, to see the characters as two completely different renditions. I love this version of Lucifer and Tom Ellis is killing it.
Allan Moore is one of THE most famous comic writers. Constantine is an amazing character and I watched the show,but it was hit and miss. I still haven't watched Suicide Squad, in fear that they butchered Harley Quinn(Paul Dini) "Joker's Favor" (absolute favorite) and Deadshot.
Non comic book readers and casual comic fans will be satisfied,but the hardcore comic fans will chew them up and spit them out,much like Allan Moore who hates Hollywood. That is all I will say about comic book fans and Lucifer as a character within the comic verse.
“imperfection is an altogether attainable human goal,” and “love is acceptance of imperfections.
I agree with most of your post....
Except; for example Constantine the movie would have been ok w/ a different name. As "Mr. Magic", it could have been fun... it was only as an adaptation that it fell short.
However; Lucifer is a steamy pile of dog feces, even if it did NOT drag a magnificent character through the muck.
It is unimaginative as the people watching it!
iZombie, while being 10x the show Lucifer is.. is another example of the "dumbed down" route.
I guess the majority of tv viewers can ONLY watch a "new concept" show if it's wrapped in a cheesy "buddy cop" wrapper.
I don't understand why...
There was NO reason to make the king of hell (former), who couldn't care any less about the affairs of man, a character with the most predictable lines, actions/reactions, etc. He was essentially neutered.
There is NO mystery or intrigue... and that is who he is.
Sooooooo.....
I'm just curious, what does it say about your beloved Neil Gaiman that he's such a staunch supporter of the show?
That the creator of 'The Lucifer' has no integrity? Or perhaps, just perhaps, that you are a bit narrow-minded?

I am COMPLETELY willing to read your link.
Please post it.
I cannot imagine anyone being pleased by this.
If someone says "hey, we barbecued your baby!", you don't say, "ooh, what kind of sauce??".
They barbecued his baby!!!
I cannot imagine Neil watching a cheesy and unimaginative "buddy cop" show and enjoying it.
I guess I'd believe a token statement of: "I understand they had to change it to make it work for tv... I'm glad they're making it and wish them success" kinda boilerplate statement, but I guess I'm going to find out when I read your link.
It's all over his twitter! You're gonna have to go back, not me.
And he also sent Tom Ellis his personal appreciation of his portrayal of Lucifer. AGAIN, you go look it up. Tom has mentioned it in numerous interviews and it's posted on his twitter.
AND Neil has been a loud critic of One Million Mom's campaign to get Lucifer taken off the air. Both last year and then this year again, when they came back for a second time.

Cool story bro.
shareIt's so freakin' funny to read a thread where every other posted is by someone you've blocked and I still get the gist of what's being said without having to actually read the annoying claptrap of the blocked posts! LOL!
shareDoesn't matter Barb, since you're a lost cause groupie.
My posts are for people that still have brain cells, and they realize this show really does stink.
boo hoo - problems don't go away after blocking.
I know. It's like a soap opera. You really don't need to watch for weeks, months, even years, and you still know exactly what the plot is. lol.
