In the fiction, Lilith is the daughter of Hatred. It really only borrowed enough elements to give its lore some believability and establish itself with some credence.

Diablo’s lore was never a commentary on actual religion, nor was it ever interested in being one. The rules of this world are anything but grounded. For one, she exists in a grim, Satanic world made up of a smattering of pseudo-Judeo/Christian beliefs and concepts. Maybe Blizzard’s writers thought they were creating a Thanos a villain who identified a valid problem, but went about solving it in the most callous, ruthless way possible. Character dialogue reflects that on a few occasions, too, when uncertainty about the point of the fight is raised. Even if you didn’t start out that empathising with them, you likely found yourself agreeing with Lilith as you made your way deeper into the story. Diablo 4’s narrative is about a rebel whose methods are questionable, but whose ultimate goal is one any reasonable person (that’s you, player) can agree with.

Not until I finished the Diablo 4 campaign. I hadn’t thought of either of those movies for a while. Even if I still don’t quite agree with how it did it. I also hated it for what it did to one of my favourite characters in all of fiction.īut, it turns out, my initial response to it was wrong, and it took the disaster of The Rise of Skywalker for me to realise that, and properly appreciate TLJ for what it attempted to do. I thought it tried to stretch Star Wars’ thin fiction beyond its means, just so it can be taken seriously enough to warrant the film’s criticism of it. It left me frustrated and confused the first time I watched it. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is one of the most divisive films in series history.
