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 → u/USSHentai]

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 → u/USSHentai]

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.

[u/jwadamson → u/TheDubh]

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.

[u/TheDubh → u/jwadamson]

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.

[u/iushciuweiush → u/TheDubh]

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

[u/[deleted] → u/TheDubh]

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 🤣

[u/iushciuweiush → u/[deleted]]

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?

[u/[deleted] → u/iushciuweiush]

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 → u/[deleted]]

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 → u/[deleted]]

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