Too mild, I'd say. The same dialogue with more of a sense of menace might have worked.
Too aggrieved in what seemed like a trivial manner.
Especially when it was played as sibling rivalry. I know the point was that to the Angels, human suffering was irrelevant - or was that the point? In any case, it came across as weak. Banal, yes. But the point of the banality of evil has been contradicted over and over by the high drama of many situations we've seen in the series, with lesser powers (presumably) than Lucifer's. Can't help thinking: Was this what all Lilith's plotting was about? To free a resentful little brother taking advantage of his father's absence to cause some chaos?
