I donât know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but
In the scene where Vox captures Lucifer, I noticed that instead of being mad that Alastor was fighting someone else, it was more as if he was upset that they both werenât focusing on him. As he tells them when he stops their fighting, âThis is my moment.â
He echos this again when Valentino and Velvette intervenes his (mass) murder-suicide attempt. He says this backing away from them, hunching in on himself with a droopy antenna (the one we know isnât damaged), gesturing to himself, and his voice distortion softens a bit to sound more human when he says âThis is my moment.â
Adding on to this, Vox does see Valentino and Velvette as his family. In âWhen I Think About the Future,â Vox refers to his relationship with them as âplaying house.â Applying this context to the scene, Vox feels like his family is taking away his moment again
To me, this feels more like someone who had always been neglected any attention as a kid from their parents.
With Valentino being silhouetted in the frame and him being taller than Vox, it kinda looks like a kid begging their parent to give them attention.
In his taunting of Charlie, Vox tells her that âYou are a pale imitation of your mother, and sheâd be disgusted at the weak, pitiful failure youâve become.â Vox specifically calls out failure, and heâs so angry saying these words to her when throughout the season, he enjoyed taunting her. Also throughout the season, weâve seen how similar Vox and Charlie are. In this moment, he is seeing himself in Charlie. Heâs speaking someone elseâs words that were said to him. These words are a major part of the trauma he experienced at some point.
I say trauma because Lucifer calling him a failure is what started his flashback sequence in âBrighter.â He specifically saw himself as a failure as a weatherman until he started killing people.
I made a post about this, but I honestly think Vox did like being a weatherman at one point. As to why: here. But that begs the question: who caused his trauma? It wasnât Alastor because he didnât know Alastor till he died. Alastor is the surrogate or the substitute that Vox projects these feelings on. It had to be someone as important to him as Alastor.
Looking back at the shot of Vox calling Charlie a âfailure,â thereâs this odd fallen piece of cloth that I couldnât really tell what it was. Curtain? Table cloth? But then it clicked in my head, doesnât it look like a blouse or the top of a dress? Thereâs this bust line- I know we like the Voobs ⢠but this looks very much like a feminine figure that is placed on top of Voxâs imagine- making Vox âa pale imitation ofâ a woman. His mother.
His mother was probably very emotionally neglectful and abusive that never gave him much attention. His mother was probably also a very successful and famous entertainer that never let her son have a moment that made him feel special and thought he was a failure.
