I like your analysis.

To me, Death implied in s5 that he and God are similar in age, or close, very close maybe. When the Darkness was introduced, she was said to pre-date everything, God and the Universe, which God created. It was hinted that she was amortal, or she could not die, but later it was proven that she could, even if her demise would disrupt an important balance.

I'm not very good at science, but something had to exist at first, and that was darkness, then came light, and so the balance was created. Why they came into existence beats me, and for what I can gather, Death came into being around that time, or the concept of it, likely because God was "life". You could say Death came into existence because God created the first life, but that would also imply that Death is very forgetful. He would obviously be younger than God, then.

I agree that there are a lot of plot holes and a lot of us have been trying to explain them. To me, it's safe to never argue that Amara is older than everything, and Death pre-dates the oldest known creation of God, Michael.

"We Happy Few" does imply that God and Amara are equals in every way, and polar opposites, but Amara is older, she was the "beginning of everything".

Sorry if this sounds like I'm babbling.
