With Fallen getting a tv show, I thought Iâd make another Fallen rant. (Am I still going to watch the show? Absolutely.) the actors look nothing like the book description, But Iâm not going to focus on that, but rather, parts of the book I didnât like and what I hope they fix in the show.
First and foremost, Luce is a Pick Me. The way she refers to others girls as looking âsquatâ and âlethargic,â is just gross. The only girl she ever calls pretty, she hates for no real reason. And itâs not just Luce, but Arrianne also has a Pick Me moment when she refers to Molly as a âdownerâ
Yet when men, especially Daniel or Cam, are downers, itâs âbroodyâ and âsexy.â (She doesnât say this about them, but itâs their descriptions) Daniel acts like a sad puppy, and no one calls him a downer. Speaking of Daniel, he and Luce (especially him) are the most self-absorbed and shallow people. Luce admits she just likes good looking guys, theyâre her weakness. Itâs the only reasons she likes Daniel, or Cam, or Lucifer.
Like the author tried to portray Lucifer as this toxic, abusive boyfriend because he wanted Luce to declare their love in front of God, and she didnât want to. She then cries, and Daniel does the bare fucking minimum and comforts her, and she kisses him and theyâre like, âtrue love!!â And then they declare their love in front of God?? The whole reason she was mad at Lucifer??? I kind of get his beef with her. Like goddamn.
Also, why did God curse Luce just because Lucifer asked? Youâd think if Lucifer was like, âsheâs my ex! Curse them!!!!â God would be like??? Arenât you??? Trying to rebel against me right now?? Fuck you. Instead heâs like, âalright betâ it just makes no sense. Or how they went through all of the work to find the relics just for God to be like, âenough!â You couldnât have done that sooner, my guy? Or he just makes everyone pinky promise to leave Luce and Daniel alone as humans, and the Devil just agrees. Even though his entire point is disobeying God. Like what.
Also Molly and Gabbie die for Daniel and Luce, and the only person who cries is Luce. Daniel doesnât say a soft thank you, or anything nice to these two people for giving their lives for Danielâs girlfriend. Or how about him never thanking Cam, Roland, and Molly for going against THEIR SIDE to help them break the curse. Also I like that that gets ignored. Even in Unforgiven, Lucifer just seems to have forgotten that Roland and Cam went against him lmao.
I also donât understand what happened with Cam. He went from the main villain in Fallen to suddenly being on Danielâs side. Thatâs never explained why he changed sides, and what his weird relationship with Luce was. I feel like the author liked him too much and just created these new villains, the Outcasts, for Torment. That whole book couldâve ended so much sooner if they just asked the Outcasts why they wanted Luce. Even though their reason was stupid too. They never explained why it HAD to be Luce. She just asks God, who cursed this dumb bitch, to âpretty please let these people who betrayed you back into Heaven uwuâ and heâs just like, âomg okay, because you asked so nicelyâ and even says itâs because itâs âselflessâ?? WHAT.
Also, the way Cam and Daniel baby Luce is so annoying. They tell her how brave she is, but yell at Shelby and Miles, two Nephilim who help Lice uncover her true self, and teach her how to travel through Announcers. In fact, they get yelled at. Theyâre so fucking brave and they donât get acknowledgment.
Like when Todd dies in Fallen, Cam comforts Luce, and Luce takes off after Daniel; and itâs like, girl. Penn has had your back this entire time, and the boy she likes just died, and you take off? And cry? And make it about you? And Trevor, who she didnât know, sheâs so upset about. Itâs traumatic, sure. But the way she talks about it like they were lovers for so long. Itâs so annoying.
I also didnât like the way that Roland was downplayed. Luce only refers to Daniel and Cam as sexy. She says Shelby isnât âbeautiful like Daniel or Cam, or have the energy of Arrianne and Rolandâ UH. MISS??? Roland has big dick energy and he sounds hot as fuck. Watch your goddamn mouth. And sheâs just so arrogant, especially when Cam comes to save her and she says, âitâs like he still couldnât get over the fact that she chose Daniel over him.â He didnât even say anything. He didnât even like you. He only ever loved Lilith (which fuck that abusive bitch)
Like the end of the book just felt rushed. Just for it to end with God coming in at the last second, they didnât even need the relics, and God just turns them into humans. And they donât weigh the consequences of this?? Like Lucifer could decide to disobey God. He could get revenge by getting Daniel to sin and end up in Hell for eternity. Their relationship could be doomed. But okay, yeah. They can meet at 17, because omg so cute uwu
Daniel and Luce are such unbearable main characters. Luce is shallow, and a Pick Me. Daniel is self-absorbed, codependent, and ungrateful to his friends whoâve always stayed by his side. Even Cam.
Cam gets his heartbroken by Lilith, and Daniel makes it about him and Luce. All Cam needed was for his favorite brother to say, âIâm here for you,â and instead, says, âall I need is Luceâ
Cam says, âIâm lonelyâ and it was Danielâs chance to BE there for him, and he wasnât. He gets mad after Cam for saying that he and Luce are only together because of the curse. (1500 languages and he chose to speak facts)
And Daniel gets mad, and lashes out at him, and says heâs better off without him. Like bro, you started that fight. I have no sympathy for you.
And then in Unforgiven, Lucifer just agrees to let Cam try to win Lilith back? And the entire reason sheâs in Hell is because she kill herself. But Daniel said she became a âdark thingâ after her split with Cam. That makes more sense why sheâs in Hell, but okay. And Hell just seems like another Tuesday for me. Poor family with a sick brother? She steps in dog poop, and she canât wash it off, so she gets bullied. But like, you can walk your dog. Thatâs on you. Just walk him. Her brotherâs Hell seems worse than hers. Imagine youâre sick for eternity to make someone elseâs Hell worse because their brother is sick. Thatâs all youâre reduced to. And Cam healing the kid, in HELL, makes zero sense. Your mere existence is a plot device, kid. To make Cam look like heâs becoming a good guy.
While Lilith gets zero character development. Lucifer tells her that Camâs ex killed herself because of him, and she gets so mad at Cam. How is that his fault?? Thatâs so manipulative. Any adult would know you canât blame him if she killed herself because he LEFT. After she abused him. Or Lucifer stealing her song book and spreading it, and blames Cam, and she just??? Believes it?? And kicks him out of the band that was his idea. Iâm so confused why she just believed that with no evidence. I just hate how much she and Cam fight too. Itâs so unhealthy. He does so much for her, and the relationship is so one-sided. He gives her a romantic date, but she never does anything nice for him. He gives more than he gets. Itâs just so unhealthy. (Thatâs why you shouldnât date teenage girls, creep) It also just ends with Cam taking Lilith out of Hell and two things:
One: you can just take souls out of Hell??? Whenever you want???
Two: sheâs fine just leaving her brother and friends in Hell, knowing theyâre suffering? I could never. It would kill me to know, that even though they werenât my real family, they were suffering. And I wasnât. I left, because I lucked out and had a fancy boyfriend.
Okay, rant over. I have more, but this is the main points. I do love Fallen BTW!
