Talk:Lisa (animated series)/@comment-1255618-20181106072405

How do people feel about Lisa claiming Satan isn't "real" unlike Dracula at the beginning of season 2? I feel like it makes her seem like the Bishop who's condemning her, who was willing to outright dismiss Dracula's existence out of hand even though he believed in Satan just like Lisa is dismissing Satan but not Dracula. This makes Lisa appear to follow the "Flat-Earth Atheist" trope, and we should definitely not be able to sympathize with the Bishop or see similarities between his attitude and Lisa's. Plus, it's already been stated in season 1 of the show by multiple chracters who would have access to that information that both demons and Hell exist. Are we to take it then that Lisa was either naïve about her husband's powers despite being married to him for years or is otherwise an atheist or non-Christian despite living in world with holy magic and vampires? Honestly, I think that throw-away line makes things more confusing than not and was bad writing on Warren Ellis's part, especially since Satan himself appears in the Lords of Shadow games even if he's yet to make an appearance in the main series's games. I'm very curious what other people's take on this is, especially because I personally feel that the writing for this series has otherwise mostly been spot-on.
