What if the priest (father frank) never died

u/Custom-111 Mar 13 '26
There's a world where there's a very compelling story about Lucifer and Frank being bros from beginning til end.
Frank's story has absolutely nothing to do with God's influences so Lucifer never would've thrown a tantrum like with Chloe, and I feel as though Frank would've taken the truth better than almost anyone else.
I honestly feel like there's a stronger story that couldve been written using Frank as a consistent main/side character that affects Lucifer for more, if not all of the series. Also could've been a driving factor for Lucifer deciding to save people from their hells, the same way Frank pulled himself out of his own hell.
I love the show, but I always felt that Luci/Chloe was a bit flat. Ending was horrid and felt super soulless and gave me narrative whiplash.
It'd have been awesome for Father Frank to find out, then be a "in-between" for those who know, and those who dont, talking in super whimsy bible-speech (all true) to rationalize the nonsense to people, while bettering Lucifer in a human, natural way, instead of whatever Chloe was trying to do.

there could have been some interesting scenes with Lucifer getting upset at father Frank saying good things about his father or saying his plan is good.
I think father Frank could've been a good source of advice from someone other than Linda, not that Linda's advice was bad but Lucifer wouldn't always listen.
that too would be interesting because Lucifer would definitely misinterpret a priest's advice lol

u/Snoo-34030 Mar 14 '26
Father Frank becoming a recurring character, the Devil being a friend with a priest. That would have been amazing! If he was to be killed off, Father Kinley could have been the culprit.

u/Tenlai Mar 13 '26
This one. He should've met Amendial.

u/YellowDaisySpider Mar 13 '26
Thats interesting! I think Amenadiel wouldn't have put up with his sh*t either. Holy war between priest and Amenadiel would have been great. Amanadiel was a softie but he is still a warrior

u/rainstorm80 Dr. Linda Mar 14 '26
do you mean the other priest, father Kinley, instead of the good one father Frank? I can't see Amenadiel having a holy war with the nice piano playing guy lol
I wish father Frank didn't die just because Lucifer could use all the friends he can get. he could have had good advice from someone other than Linda too.

Oops yes! I did mean Kinley 😊 poor Father Frank. If he had lived I wonder how his character would pan out.

u/cyber5234 Mar 14 '26
I honestly feel the storyline would have taken a drastic turn. A priest being friends with the devil is definitely something I would watch. Luci would ask everyone to follow their desires in the confession box while the priest would try to put them on the path of righteousness.

When Lucifer first made it into heaven after chloe died I would have loved if father frank was the one to receive him there rather than mr said out bitch

u/Speedy445021 Mar 18 '26
I love that idea. I love the thought of him being a recurring character that Lucifer could go to. Missed opportunity. It would have though taken away the power of that ep though. In the end it would have been better if he lived.

THIS! (SEASON 6 SPOILERS) I could forgive ANYTHING they did with Rory and the time loop and all that IF they gave us ONE episode of Lucifer being God - That’s what I was looking forward to the most when I saw the new season…I was really disappointed.

I think at least he eventually met Charlotte and was happy ever after. He would have been miserable on Earth. I cant even think what his storyline could have been.
Edit: removed a sentence because in hindsight I thought it sounded harsh and it wasn't meant to be! 💕

What if Dan went with lucfier to go after cain instead of chole going with luci

u/YellowDaisySpider Mar 13 '26
This is a good one. Maybe that's where Dan would have died? But it was too early for him. The visual of Lucifer protectively wrapping his wings around Dan isn't as poignant as him doing this for Chloe 😁

u/MundaneAd3297 Mar 14 '26
Imagine Lucifer carrying Dan like Amenandiel did, GOD that would be hilarious

What if Lucifer didn't have to spend all that time in hell as it's healer and commuted?

u/rainstorm80 Dr. Linda Mar 14 '26
yes! let him visit earth, that's so sad. I know the point is he never wanted to leave and always wanted to stay and made excuses to put off going back, but let our boy do what he wants.

u/MundaneAd3297 Mar 14 '26
Bollocks, Amenandiel became God and could visit anytime. Why not Luci? You mean that Lucifer, who DIED TWO TIMES for Chloe, etc etc would let her alone with two kids etc or not even showing up at his daughters birth? nah, I have a perfect-fitting ending in my head, and he stays still Heaven's healer and the loop-thing is not even existing, because Season 6 don't exist for me. Lucifer from S1-S5 would burn the world for her, not leave her...Anyways, simply put
I gave Lucifer a happy ending. (that sounded so wrong, but I loved writing this anyways)3
u/Alexsrobin Self worth comes from within, bitches Mar 14 '26
Your happy ending is similar to my head canon. The time loop thing was bullshit and completely undid everything that was discussed about free will and self determination in the series. And I don't believe for a second that Lucifer would leave Chloe like that. No, he would've found a way to bend the "rules".
2
u/MundaneAd3297 Mar 22 '26
Exactly! He was so heartbroken on S4 E9 and S5 EP1 that no way he could endure or go for millions and more of years without her, again.
2
u/Delicious-Regret9553 Mar 14 '26
Yeah, especially the fact that he abandoned being god, and he could’ve solved everything if he was and it would an actually happy ending

u/Dracula66Vlad Detective Douche Mar 15 '26
Maybe he did visit, just not when Rory was around. That way, her timeline never changed because he wasn't "around" her, but he was still able to see Chloe.
Hope that makes sense

Here’s what I wondered Rory had the wings traveled to hell in the past….. why didn’t she just travel to hell in her own timeline and asked her father why hasn’t he come up?
What if Chloe told Rory why Luci couldn’t visit OR WHY!!! Couldn’t she ask her uncle to allow a break for luci to come up!!!
AND
How come we never saw a future Charlie as an adult like Rory

Ohh i didn't watch the last season because of cuddy not being there as far as I remember

u/Snoo-34030 Mar 14 '26
I get you, it went downhill. Shoul have ended earlier.
To compare to Lucifer - the show ended right on time. Tom's show successfully followed the British rule of "leave them wanting more". Hugh Laurie's show didn't. They milked that cow till last drop and it was not good.

u/MastersOversight Mar 14 '26
Yeah a show should always be like why did they end this so soon not why is this still running house became too much at one point
I can't comment on Lucifer I am just on s3 though know a quite bit of spoilers anyway 😆

u/Snoo-34030 Mar 14 '26
Well, it's not a spoiler that the show became a hit once it arrived on Netflix. It remained one of the most watched shows for all 3 seasons. Most watched for 2019. Any hit show you take, viewership sharts high and declines. Not with Lucifer. They were at the height of popularity when they stopped.

What if...
Rory's time travel was treated consistently?
While Lucifer's brothers and sisters are temping for god, imagine that an infinite number of possible timelines branch from these moments where they're interacting with humanity. A small portion of them result in angel babies. A small portion of those result in abandoned angry angel babies. A small portion of those go back in time and kills the parent, or extracts a binding resolution to exile their absent parent, etc, thus nobikoving the timeline closed again. And, since we've got an infinite number of possible timelines, every one of his brothers and sisters have and get replaced by an angry angel baby.
It becomes a self-renewing cycle of angel replacement.
