Hers are not divine.
But everything else about her is! rimshot
So… Lucifer’s mom… who would that be? Lilith? I guess she wouldn’t be Anandiel’s mom. God fooled around a lot in the early days.
Who’s going to play her? For some reason, the first person to come to mind for me is Carol Kane. Other contenders include Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates & Louise Fletcher, but it will probably be somebody who’s not that famous, but somehow fits the role perfectly.
“Mum” doesn’t have to be an older actress, though more roles for older actresses would be nice. She can present any way she wishes, no doubt. If she is as vain as Lucifer, she will present as a hot 20-something, or as a child, if she wants to get people off guard. And as any race or ethnicity.
I hope it’s not Lilith. She was created to be a spouse for Adam, so it would be weird for her to have spawned angels. They should predate her by eons.
I think his wings were as weakened by the “demon blade forged in the fires of hell” as he was. And your are right, the point was for Maze to make the sacrifice.
Lilith is mythologically the wrong figure, but much more popularly known.
Asherah would be the mythologically correct figure, but I think way fewer people have heard of her (I hadn’t until I read discussion of “Who’s Lucifer’s Mom?”). I suppose they could just make up a character like they did with Amenadiel.
I really hope they don’t go the route of saying the “mum” was short for “mumazielakenafoo, that evil demon we created for the show” instead of short for “mother, who had a hand in my creation”.
Technically, Lilith is from satirical Jewish folklore, not the Bible. She represented the haughty female who refused to be subservient to her spouse. She claimed dominion over sick children who die shortly after birth. Thereafter, she was branded as the personification of hussies of loose morals and the mother of demons. Her mythological identity is pretty flexible, so why can’t she be Lucifer’s mum too?
Lucifer didn’t do anything (although we still aren’t sure if he can teleport), but his brother whisked him out of there in the blink of an eye. To Chloe and all those cops it should have looked like he disappeared, but there was no discussion of that.
Do the cops all think that he is some sort of master illusionist a la David Copperfield?
Because we already had a horrifying, though hot, Lilith on Cheers.
My pastor, who I usually respect, baptized a sweet little baby girl “Lilith.” This is the sort of thing that happens because Luther didn’t like apocrypha and non-canonical books and didn’t keep up with Jewish folklore.
oh please let it be so - and then have Fraser be ‘dad’ - I don’t care f its a 10 minute ‘spoof’ - it would be hilarious.
Lucifer’s mum could be Sophia..
That would make more sense than Lilith, especially as in the comic book Maze is a Lilin (offspring of Lilith).
But why would wisdom and soul have been removed from the world and imprisoned in a dismal cell? That would explain the sorry state of affairs on earth, however.
Because God hates us.
Finally watched the finale. I was thoroughly enjoying it, right up to the point where Lucifer states that father sent him back to return a soul that had escaped from hell. To which my reaction was, “They’re turning it into fucking Brimstone.” And then, with the camera shots of Lucifer and Amandeiel, “There turning it into devil cop/angel cop Brimstone.”
I was somewhat appeased though with the revelation that the escapee was mom. That could be interesting. Glad it was renewed. I’ll be back for season two.
