User blog comment:Kajune/Lucifer, first son?/@comment-3068419-20160413231453

I think the writers are really trying to retcon it. The whole time they have been disregarding Michael, the canon-established eldest and more powerful Archangel and then they drop this bomb of Lucifer being the first son. I mean, Amara would know right? But then so would Lucifer and Michael. The fact that Lucifer didn't even argue Amara's statement makes you feel for certain that the writers are gunning down Michael.
