In the light of yesterday's "We didn't devote precious runtime to her kissing his boo boos 💀" by the creator herself on blusky I would like to remind you that the ✨Precious runtime✨ was used for:
good tickle 🥰 bad tickle! Very bad tickle!!
. A main character giving vital information to your protagonist with Husk telling Charlie about Alastor's deal with Vox without mentioning the wound since Alastor would probably skin him if he finds out he told someone about it
. That even if Charlie thinks that Alastor and Lucifer are strong/invincible wathever she's still worried for them (and that's still a bullshit logic since Emily is a seraph, one of the strongest being in the universe and Charlie is rightfully worried for her after seeing her on the ground in pain and with a missing limb. Also the same woman that was running towards Alastor the moment she saw him tied to a chair minutes later doesn't even look at him when from her position she shouldn't even be sure that the beam only hit Emily??? Or worry for her dad once he comes out from a sewer covered in his own blood? No sense)
. The protagonist welcoming her injured and in pain father with an open smile/help him stand up on his feet, a father that by the way she hasn't meet since the day they had a huge fight, a father that while kept captive has only one thought and it is I hope my daughter won't be mad at me
Naaaaahhhhh we don't need these moments who cares people will assume they happened off screen
While TOXIC YAOI FANSERVICE THAT'S TOTALLY USELESS AND THAT ADD NOTHING TO THE PLOT OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHARACTERS INFACT YOU CAN CUT:
. the scene after the "I won you lost" tour directly to Vox wearing his jacket in the Vee tower
. the scene right after the cables electrocute Lucifer for the first time
. the scene after Velvette's "I'm sure Vox is losing his shit" with Vox riding the weapon in the background
And you'll still have a plot with the same relevance because AGAIN THEY ADD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO IT IS WORTH.
So whenever there's someone who has the galls to say "but they have only 8 episodes!!! They have to choose what to keep!!!" You can safely tell them that the ✨PRECIOUS RUNTIME✨ isn't worth to give depth to your protagonist and her relationships with the other main characters (and one of these main characters is her father, a father she's just recently reconnecting with) but:
. the creator of the show
. whoever greenlit it in Amazon
THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH FOR TOXIC YAOI FANSERVICE. REMEMBER THEY CHOOSE FANSERVICE OVER CHARLIE AND HER RELATIONSHIPS.
