Maybe it's geb because of the handProvide actual scans.
"Great Beast" is a generic moniker. Seems more like a reference to the Beast of Revelation than anything in particular.

It's just a generic hand that doesn't even look like the Great Evil Beast.Maybe it's geb because of the hand
Imo the comic says there's other creations in the void with different creators. Silk man is from a different creation. So what mistake did I made? I'm legit using the comic is saying."Wait, what? You know lucifer, Sandman, Animal man and others contribute to DC right? Everything that happens in these comics is applied to the greater dc verse, that's why whenever there's mention of infinte dimensions or outerversal planes we take that as part of canon, just because these comics are not in the same year dosen't negate the fact they can be connected. We have to look consistency, not argue with baseless arguments. You legit are trying to argue that lucifer has it's own version of dc."
Sure. Doesn't change the fact that you're trying to supplant the things that are established from in comics itself with your theory.
All you said are merely speculations, I'm not saying that it can't be connected. But the problem is the one doing the connecting here is you and not a writer. Is your theory that all of this are connected greater than what is actually shown in the storyline?
I mean was it ever stated that the Presence made it dark? I don't particularly remember it"What, no. "The darkness not of void" this quote is very vauge, just because it says darkness dosent mean it's geb. Even back in lucifer the void is shown black when the Presence talk to Elaine and helds all of creation in his hand."
You do know that it's only black because the Presence made it so right? The presence was emulating Elaine's home and the night sky with Creation as the moon. And that before that, Elaine was literally in a white void with everything being created as she moves along?
If it didn't look like the GEB, no one would have asked if it was. It's one thing to reject the notion, but another to pretend it had no basis. It just comes off as dishonest to try and pretend it was never implied or anything when it clearly was and the author confirmed that intention.It's just a generic hand that doesn't even look like the Great Evil Beast.
Matthew, your constant personal attacks against me are getting tiresome. If you prove yourself incapable of behaving properly, we will have to do the same we do with other members who constantly misbehave regarding a specific fiction: Forbid them from taking part in such discussions again.Lucifer being the Great Evil Beast is demonstrably false and its ridiculous that anyone is arguing for it. The only evidence is a possible interpretation of one panel from a comic from 2018. The only reason Ant is agreeing and thanking the people in that side is because it downgrades comics.
So then you agree he should be 1-A?Matthew, your constant personal attacks against me are getting tiresome. If you prove yourself incapable of behaving properly, we will have to do the same we do with other members who constantly misbehave regarding a specific fiction: Forbid them from taking part in such discussions again.
For the record, I agree about TGEB=Lucifer being one of two conflicting retcons because because it was explicit and the writer confirmed it via Twitter, and I upvote and thank people who seem to know what they are talking about and make an effort to help out.
I do not know. All that I have said above is that the constant incoherent contradictions and reboots between writers are confusing to me, so I need help from people like Sandman31 to try to make sense of it.So then you agree he should be 1-A?
Well because it's kind of just talking about light and darkness which is an analogy made in many comics. The original Darkness was described as more of a horror during the original story but that's besides the point. The point is that the original Darkness was only sliver of the Upside Down Mans power. So if we assume that Lucifer is the original darkness than you're basically implying that Lucifer is equivalent to a sliver of the Upside Down Mans power. Which just supports this upgrade even more. They don't have to create him for this to be possible.How is that vague though? You literally have the writer tell us he is geb then you literally have Lucifer referr to himself as the great beast which is what geb stands for then you have the story confirm he is the concept of darkness and evil all that jazz which is what geb is. And the otherkind didn't create Lucifer the presence did stated in one of the scans above he made the darkness
If we're talking about the original darkness, neither Lucifer nor the Otherkind fit into it.His connection is incompatible with the original Darkness.
I agree about that neither of the conflicting retcons seem to make any sense in relation to the original version of TGEB.If we're talking about the original darkness, neither Lucifer nor the Otherkind fit into it.
Yeah, absolutely not. I assume each of them just wanted to pay homage to an author and story they really liked, but neither Lucifer nor the Otherkind nor "a sliver of their power" can fit into that story line.I agree about that neither of the conflicting retcons seem to make any sense in relation to the original version of TGEB.
Also the majority agreed for the upgrade and I wrote out the AP justification statement. So can we get someone to add it?I agree about that neither of the conflicting retcons seem to make any sense in relation to the original version of TGEB.
The writer saying something on twitter isn't canon. It doesn't go by editors and its not in the page.For the record, I agree about TGEB=Lucifer being one of two conflicting retcons because it was explicit and the writer confirmed it via Twitter, and I upvote and thank people who seem to know what they are talking about and make an effort to help out.
Nor do we need it to be. The Great Evil Beast's hand is presented as one of Lucifer's aspects.The writer saying something on twitter isn't canon.
If he hadn't, how would he even know what the GEB was and include it's hand in it?I would be surprised if the author of the new Lucifer series ever read or gives a shit about the original Swamp Thing storyline or really anything
Meanwhile Tynion's Justice League Dark storyline explicitely references the original story multiple times as well as the Morrison and Snyder Cosmology (In broad terms, but he does) and this establishes their very direct connection.
This is how geb was originally discribed.Well because it's kind of just talking about light and darkness which is an analogy made in many comics. The original Darkness was described as more of a horror during the original story but that's besides the point. The point is that the original Darkness was only sliver of the Upside Down Mans power. So if we assume that Lucifer is the original darkness than you're basically implying that Lucifer is equivalent to a sliver of the Upside Down Mans power. Which just supports this upgrade even more. They don't have to create him for this to be possible.
There is no evidence it is in the comic itself. The comic only vaguely refers to Lucifer as the darkness opposite to God in theological manners, not literally.Nor do we need it to be. The Great Evil Beast's hand is presented as one of Lucifer's aspects.
Yes there is, it's the hand avatar resembling the GEB.There is no evidence it is in the comic itself.
Yes, it does. Neither the Otherkind nor the Other Place nor a sliver of them can fit the description of the Great Darkness nor share any of its characteristics.Tynion's story doesn't contradict the original, a fragment of the Great Darkness is still the Great Darkness itself
This is a strawman.The Otherkind can’t have a relationship with the Great Darkness because they can’t.”
It says "no fallen angel of leviathan." You're leaving out the "of leviathan" part and misrepresenting the evidence. Lucifer/Satan wouldn't be the Leviathan fallen angel regardless.“not a fallen angel.”
Where is it stated that way? I just remember lucifer flying through the overvoid and seeing different creations."Imo the comic says there's other creations in the void with different creators. Silk man is from a different creation. So what mistake did I made? I'm legit using the comic is saying"
Those creations are just different version of the same creation. That's why all of them collapsed just like when the multiple version of Lucifers collapsed into the single Lucifer.
Wher is it stated that silk man is from an older creation of the same one? It's literally stated he hope from one creation to another, wouldn't make sense for him to be from an older same creation. And jim en monks were from a different creation which came before yaweh's, I don't remember it's stating it was the same creation.Those Creators and Creations doesn't exist in the "same time" as the current creation, those creations were said to be Creations/Creators that are either from before the Presence or after the Presence. That's why the timeless nature of Void and the linearity of the Creations are heavily emphasised. That's why there's no wanderer in the Void that is from other Creations that exists "currently" and all of them are either from the future or past versions of creation (The Silk man, Jim En Moks etc)
Ah thanks, people use this scan to say pralaya = void. But it's the overvoid."I mean was it ever stated that the Presence made it dark? I don't particularly remember it"
Who else could have created it?
They're technically not even at the Void at that point as the Presence created reality around them. The Void is white, it was just hidden under the "carpet of reality" made by the Presence.
