[Blasphemous trope] Satan is hot

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.

Satan is a fallen angel though

Lucifer is a fallen angel, Satan typically is not.

What’s the difference? (Serious question, not being a smartass)

They're just different entities. Many modern works conflate them, but Lucifer is the former foremost of God's angels who was cast out of Heaven for rebelling against Him, whereas Satan is described variously as a dualistic oppositional force against God or a 'prosecutor' employed by God to test the piety of his followers by tempting them to sin.
