[Blasphemous trope] Satan is hot

[u/no-Pachy-BADLAD]

Don't watch these at Sunday School

1) While a more sympathetic example than the below, Lucifer's tirle character still retains the CW bait (yes I know it's a Fox/Netflix show) crowd as he's busy solving crimes.

2) Mystery of the Kingdom of God was a 2021 Christian kids film that would've fallen into obscurity beyond fudnamentalist audiences if it wasn't for folks picking up on the Tumblr sexyman vibes of the film's devil.

3) The CEO of Hell Lucifer (or 'Lucy') is an intimidating persona also reflecting the creator's preference for women in business suits.

4) Le génie du mal ('The Spirit of Evil', sculpture on the right) was a sculpture by Guillame Geefs in 1848, meant to replace the sculpture on the left by his brother Joseph, criticised for its distracting beauty and 'unhealthy allure'. He didn't do a good job (or did a VERY good one) taking that into account.

Uh... Satan being attractive is lore accurate.

Only after Paradise Lost was published.

Is Paradise Lost the first example of a fanfiction so popular that it changed the canon?

Edit: true thank you commenters! I conflated Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno in my head.

No dante's inferno beat it by about 300 years and had the added bonus of being a self insert gary stu fanfic.
