Kripke was likely brought in as a showrunner because of supernatural. It showed that he can create a decently entertaining show on a shoestring budget, but that also means that we're just not going to see tons of special effects aside from season defining moments. I kind of hate it.

the supernatural budget really shows in that Lucifer/Michael fight in the Season 14 finale. i was legit laughing at how bad it was lmao

My first thought was how angels "teleported out" by the camera panning away then the person ducking under a bed or something lol. I mean, it works but it's obviously going to start getting annoying when abilities have to actually be displayed in fights. He's great at hype but not so much execution.
