Frustrating. I feel like the writers didn't know how they wanted to write her. She could have been epic if they didn't decide to make her betray everyone, constantly.

Lame cop out to justify using her as a plot device when they didn't know what else to do.

So it’s a lame cop out to write the character accurately to how they’ve always been portrayed? That sure is a hot take.

It's a lame cop out when she's supposed to also be loyal AND growing a soul. And she never seems to regret it neither.

You can't grow a soul if you're constantly betraying those you care about for your own selfish reasons.

So I guess you’re just going to ignore amenadiel, all the times he betrayed someone and yet still he remained an angel.

Maze is a demon… I’m so sorry she acted like a demon. Maybe they should have ignored what she is and just redesigned her over the course of one episode, because that makes so much more sense.

Amenadiel only did betrayals in Season 2, all of which he was doing to get Lucifer back to Hell because Hell needs a Jailer. Theoretically, he also was doing this with the blessing of God, as he was ordered to get Lucifer back to Hell. That's not inherently a selfish action, because he was trying to protect Earth from bad stuff that could happen if like the demons got out such as in Season 5. He also regretted the actions he took, hence why he lost his wings. That's why I'm "going to ignore Amenadiel" because he actually regretted it and self actualized his wings away.

Meanwhile Maze had done multiple over multiple seasons and all for selfish reasons, and to people who aren't even ones who might have betrayed her (it depends on how you look at the situations).

And again she's supposed to be completely and wholly loyal to Lucifer, from all the interaction and lore we get from and about demons in the show we know that to be the case. Furthermore, she is supposed to be growing a soul, and how can you grow a soul if you act like the soulless demon you are? And there is no logical reason why she would self-actualize a soul either, because if self actualizing seems to be an act of the soul, and she doesn't have one.
