On a scale of 1 to Supernatural, how much of a waste of time is this show? I’m running out of shit to watch..
its supernatural for ppl who believe they're too good to watch supernatural
or just daunted by the number of seasons, 13 vs. 3...or waiting for supernatural to wrap up...sometime in 2028 or so...
also, it goes for comedy supernatural would never
and it's like bad bad jokes a lot, but the show and the characters except Lucifer are in on it, which was my fear from the previews, but no, only Lucifer thinks he's fucking hilarious and clever all the time (the spoilered clip isn't a spoiler so much as i wanted to only have one video directly in the post, but it's an example of this retroactively, only Lucifer thinks his drawings are funny, Cain's taking issue with them and not amused by the buffoonery)
i'm assuming you're not familiar with the comic TVC so it's probably "better" than for those of us who are and loved the comic (though again thankfully, it's touched on the lore far more than i expected for being on FOX, especially after
Constantine's heavy focus bombed so hard) versus the comic it's sorta spun off in its own direction similar to how Gotham at this point is barely about Batman/Gordon coming up and more just HERE'S EVERYTHING FROM BATMAN IN A WEEKLY DETECTIVE SHOW with some hooks to the mythology
since i already have the comics, i think i'm actually more favorable to both shows using the mythology for their own purposes versus something that does tons of straight lifting like The Walking Dead as compared to some people...like the Lucifer comics never dealt with his mum or Cain and i feel the show comes close to treating them similar to how the comic did treat things, Lucifer struggles with being part of a family in the comic too, and similarly stuff like the dabbling in politics on Gotham or just Hugo Strange aka Whiterose being around for seasons aren't regular comic topics
sorry about talking about Gotham everybody, i just fell way behind on Arrow in season two and never went back...and Gotham at least i'm only a season and a half behind! also, Gotham is similarly on FOX and not part of a weird corporate synergy effort like ABC's Marvel series or the CW's or Legion is
also, yeah, i spoiled that
Superboy Clark Kent is Cain, but it saves you the show's working around the "HE'S GOT A BIT OF A SECRET" scenes peppered through like eight episodes and then a sudden two episode fake out that happened because of production issues ... biggest pet peeve regarding Cain is that all the supernatural characters (Lucifer, Maze, Amenadiel, Cain himself) refer to him/address him as "Pierce" in conversation between each other when they know and in the latter three's case have always known he was Cain...Lucifer even only really pulls it out in private to insult him which is weirdest of all, since when he was playing "Pierce" he barely interacted with anyone except to say "here's your case of the week" and "good work team" (the scenes were shot after and retroactively inserted into episodes held over from the second season)
