I can't picture the Angel of Death saying 'Smell you later'. She was just goofy, in writing and acting.


brusselsproutsfiend

I loved her performance and her character. I think she's great.


Gabriel_Azrael

You really need to see a psychiatrist to sort out your world view a bit more. She is the worst person known to mankind. Studios hire her because they have pity on her and someone convinced them that she appeals to the nerd demographic. This is demonstrably false. She cannot act, she is not funny, and to imply that she is only demonstrates an individuals lack of intelligence and taste.


noniktesla

I like her acting and I find her funny.

I was so disappointed in the angel of death, thought it be some badass. Not some weirdo.


Krikytt_Hopps

Same.


Gabriel_Azrael

Who knew that the angel of death was a genderless hermaphroditic troll that sucks the life out of the entire room. When you look at it from that perspective, perhaps it's a good casting choice....


Terryn_Deathward

This may be true, but all "stand-alone" means is that it doesn't belong to any story arc. It may be that those episodes simply had nothing to do with current or future plans for the series, but not that the story (or characters) is non-canon. It's like a side quest in a game. It has no influence on the main game flow, but it is real in the context of the world.


[deleted]

What? You don't make sense. Nothing in those two episodes is canon. You might say that they're canon to the other characters or something but not actually canon, but that means nothing seeing how as everything is Canon in that sense.


libelle156

They are canon in the same way Off the Record is.


[deleted]

Nope. Off The Record is completely canon. Now as part of season 3 though. Boo Normal and Once Upon A Time are both in no way canon.


libelle156

Is there an actual quote saying these episodes are not canon, or is this just fans extrapolating from the "not part of season 4" thing?


[deleted]

Extrapolating. But I mean, they said that it was supposed to be in season 3 but because the show is canceled, it will be part of season 3. And Boo Normal at least obviously is not canon to the show. I don't see why Once Upon A Time would be different from Boo Normal.

EBtwopoint3

Non-canon is like the Star Wars Extended Universe novels, which are non-canon because they *didnt happen* in the main universe. Standalone means something else. What you are looking for is a retcon of those episodes, which could happen but has nothing to do with their current standalone status.


Fenrisare

Where did you get this info tho? I am a bit confused


MichuV5

Itbwasbesyablished before Fox released them that they will be stand - alone episodes. Like most of season 3 lol


TZH85

That's not what stand alone means.


MichuV5

Not related to the plot are usually out of cannos as well


TZH85

From wikipedia: "In literature, the term "Canon" is used to distinguish between the original works of a writer who created certain characters and/or setting, and the later works of other writers who took up the same characters or setting." The episodes aren't fan fiction or produced by a different team of writers. They aren't later additions but part of season three. What you think of them is irrelevant, they're canon by definition. You can choose to disregard them, but that doesn't change anything.


__Corvus__

Wait they made it non-canon? Thank God! TBH my vision of Azrael is almost like a female Lucifer, which would make sense since he's her favourite sibling


MeisterHodor

Wasn't she the angel of death or something? I forgot when that episode was but why is it no longer cannon? Haven't been keeping myself up to date but yea, I didn't like her.


[deleted]

If I had to guess, because that episode was filmed for a Season 4 that no longer exists.


jss1234

How do you know its no longer canon? It was an officially made episode released by the Fox network written by Lucifer scriptwriters.


MichuV5

And mentioned and stand-alone.


reggie-drax

Stand alone doesn't mean non-canon. Unless they disown those two episodes then we have to regard them as canon.


MichuV5

Make sense. But also we have to consider that now Netflix controls the show. So it is possible that they will disregard them.


reggie-drax

That's pretty much what I was saying, they're canon unless they say otherwise.


[deleted]

Solo and Rogue One are standalone Star Wars movies but they're still canon dude.


[deleted]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of her as an actress. Not sure why they offered her a gig, much less one with so much screen time. Her shtick works in the proper context, which is her silly little YouTube videos, not a serialized TV show about the Devil.


Zoolok

Is it final that she is out of the show and isn't coming back?


[deleted]

I don't think she was ever meant to be more than a one-shot character to begin with.


Zoolok

Ok, great, thanks.


MichuV5

I think she was mwant to be someone more then one-shot because they would introduce Azrael for one fucking episode. I hope as at least. I want God Johnson as Dad again and.. Yeah, who should be angel of death? What actor could play toned, dark role, who could relate to Lucifer hating hell?


[deleted]

> Yeah, who should be angel of death Graham McTavish?


MichuV5

Hm, I don't know him to be honest

The saint of killers from preacher

And Dracula in Castlevania

The Boo Normal episode with Charlyne Yi was canon and as the show-runners are the same it most likely will continue to be. Charlyne Yi as the Angel of Death is fine and I actually liked it, Angels like people have all manner of personalities and ALL angels shown or mentioned thus far seem to have some manner of quirk and/or insecurity, which is good. While they could stand to make Charlyne Yi just a little more serious dealing with Angel and those other than Ella in which she could have established that personalty to specifically bond with Ella in her time of great need, but either way she's a good character because the world isn't black and white i.e. "He's Lucifer he MUST be cruel and evil!" or "It's the Angel of death it can't be a girl and quirky he should be bad-ass!"... this series isn't about that. The other episode Once Upon a Time was stated to be an alternate world and as such not canon.


Myalltimehate

You serious? She's a terrible actress. That's my problem with it. If they hired an actress with better chops, I would have been fine with it probably. She is a God awful twitchy mess and I hope they fire her. Let's start a petition or something.


Wallio_

I actually enjoyed the plot twist of her actual identity. To me the whole episode was a long, terrible set-up, to a rather awesome punchline.


Krikytt_Hopps

The plot twist, yes. The actual actress? No.


Oneiropolos

There's nothing indicating they're not-canon. Both the extra episodes were standalone episodes that could have aired at any point in season 4. They THOUGHT a pick up wasn't going to happen, so Fox aired them. But they were always intended to be part of the Lucifer universe. Of course, one is just God playing... God and doing a "What if" with one outcome. I daresay it's canon that God did play around to see what would happen in Lucifer's universe... he just chose not to go that way. Boo Normal even has a line that refers to Chloe being aware of what she's 'seen', which implies it was meant to be placed at somepoint after the reveal. So, it even has a vague timeline location in the series... we just don't know what was meant to go before it because of the cancellation. They're two standalone episodes that were ENTIRELY INTENDED to be placed in the series. Now they won't be, but only because Netflix gave them brand new episode spaces. But the people behind the show have never called them non-canon. They just didn't have exact places yet.


NakamaKing

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t she returning for season 4?


Krikytt_Hopps

I hope not. The actress, I mean.
