Re: What are your favorite portrayals of religious or mythical figures?

Ohhhhh man, I have such an issue with all the portrayals of angels in media, especially that whole "no free will" thing. They think you can have your "no free will" cake and eat it too, and they make these angels who don't have free will because they... choose not to have it? And then they do stuff based on their own choices which means they DO have free will and just... what.
That makes no sense.
And I agree with you that sexy angels is just... no.

The thing with Lucifer is that nowadays he's being recast as the misunderstood rebel who wants to Find Himself. While I find some of these portrayals entertaining from a woobie perspective (and don't get me wrong, there's a lot of beautiful angst you can mine there), it's... not quite Lucifer, for me.
Then again, Lucifer is super different in Christianity and Judaism, so there's that too...

...if they don't have Free Will, then how did a third of them follow Lu's rebellion?

I would like to see a portrayal of Lucifer where he understands exactly what he did, and is either not sorry at all and continuing to do everything he can to undermine God and God's people-- or where he actually is sorry and tries to make amends for what he did. I've gone both those direction with demons (though not Lucifer himself) in my own writing, and it's super fun to explore.

tbh I have no idea how Christianity justifies the rebellion thing. We don't have that in Judaism, and Jewish angels have no free will, and Satan isn't the bad guy and didn't rebel against anything.
So I can't really help you there.
