I disagree that Venat as the main antagonist would be too cliche, not if they went with a "fallen angel" scenario for her. She is presented to us as our best friend, anyone remember what happened with our "best friend" in the Devilman series? The manipulations and the betrayal on that scale would have made for a lot better than Hermoine Granger +10 times the arrogance becomes a goddess.
So you wanted them to go full Griffith with Venat? Also it would've helped of they hadn't written the ancients to be so drab that I might've cared.
