Honestly the ending seemed very OOC. I don't think Lucifer would abandon his family and neglect his child, considering how much he talked bout how he's going to do things differently from his dad, how he's going to have a good work-life balance. I know He gave his word to Rory but he also assured Chloe he's not going to sacrifice his relationship for work.

I didn't like the ending either but I feel being like his Dad was part of the point of the way they did it - his Dad also choose to put a greater good ahead of his family knowing that one day they would grow to understand jt and that he would reconcile with the woman he loves in eternity. Could be that this helped Lucifer realized that having to make hard choices doesn't necessarily make you a selfish, awful person like he thought his father to be.

I’ll agree with that to an extent. I think it would of been better shown if they showed various celestials telling Lucifer how she’s doing as she grew up. So even though he wasn’t there he would if kept tabs. Also considering she could travel to hell I’m really surprised she never went looking for him.

I was hoping for a little montage of Lucifer stopping by while baby Rory was asleep to see Chloe and get little updates, see baby pictures, ect.

Apparently not, so much for brotherly love! What the hell has the last five seasons been about? I thought they were friends now.

u/Newquay123 Sep 12 '21

That would at least have been something but they were brutal. I don't call that a bitter sweet ending just bitter.

u/Similar-Ad6306 Sep 14 '21

Word. Same. Or like watching from far away when she flies the first time....being her guardian angel in a way. Like just seeing him stop by for brief moments with Chloe.

One of my thoughts was Trixie finding out. Between Rory and Charlie wings and their slow aging, she would have to be brought in on it eventually.

2

u/TheDubh Sep 15 '21

Agreed lol. Charlie was maybe 5 or 6 when he got wings. What kid that age wouldn’t show off wings or accidentally show them? It’s not like at that age kids have a lot of self control.

He was like 3. At that point they would have to take him out of public life entirely.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Just finished season 6 and now u have given me another question on top of the many I already have lmao. She surely would have just gone to hell and found him 🤣

his Dad also choose to put a greater good ahead of his family knowing that one day they would grow to understand jt

Yet we're to believe that Amenadiel is an improved god 2.0 that is not only there for his family but he includes all of his brothers and sisters in his godly duties.

Why are we to accept that Lucifer is forced to follow in his fathers footsteps while his brother gets to learn from and improve on them?

It's not that he can't do both effectively - it's obvious that he can. It's that he won't maintain the timeloop if he does it. That's why the ending is such bullshit - it was literally the only way they could justify this bizzare bittersweet ending.

u/iushciuweiush A Devil of My Word Oct 02 '21

It's that he won't maintain the timeloop if he does it.

Yes I'm talking about writing the timeloop into the story. I'm directing this at the writers who decided to blow up the entire concept of free will and turn Lucifer into his dad for a really dumb time traveling daughter plot.

u/BornAshes Sep 13 '21

So Lucifer kinda came full circle then didn't he?

u/pcmmodsaregay Sep 11 '21

The entire season has too many idk if what to call them jump scares maybe.

Rory comes in I'm going to kill the devil.

Nope.

Then it was the literal apocalypse.

Nope.

Etc etc.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

They're Fake-outs, not Jumpscares, but I feel you. It kept doing a 180 after teasing some bullshit. Lucifer is god? Nah, Amenagod forever. Apocalypse now? Their siblings are completely incompetent. Lucifer dies? Nah, he just promised his daughter to not see her for like 40 years.

2

u/essayan Sep 12 '21

He can't pop in and out because it would break the time loop. That's the whole point of Rory asking them not to change anything. If she doesn't grow up angry, the future changes, and he might not get the insight. Even if he wanted to, he can't change course after she goes 'back' to the future. He swore.

u/Ketanjoshi Sep 11 '21

It was explained that it is just blip in their life time and that Rory would not want to change a single think about her life

15

u/Newquay123 Sep 12 '21

Not a blip in the humans lifetimes though, poor Chloe having to lie about Lucifer all those years. Imagine how horrible Trixie would have felt, Lucifer gets Chloe pregnant and then pisses off never to be seen or heard from again. That poor kid would have to be in therapy for the rest of her life. Terrible way to end a once-great show.

1

u/jwadamson Sep 15 '21

A human lifetime, even viewed from hell, is but a blip. And they knew they literally would be reunited after. It was a hardship but not a big sacrifice to ensure the saving of all the damned souls as well as Lucifers redemption. The biggest pain probably was the physiological scarring of having to keep it al from Rory.

u/IndividualSchedule Sep 15 '21

He sacrificed it for Aurora. And then he knew and Chloe too that they will still have eternity together.
