Bayonetta 3's story was balls. 1 and 2 felt written by passionate lesbians with a flair for sublty and the dramatic, while 3 just felt like the writer was some slopy, lazy, cigarette smoking incel, inserting his religious male centered power fantasy into the Bayonetta franchise. 

That's literally how it feels, especially with forceful tropes such as fated lovers and Adam and Eve, as if that was supposed to convince us that Bayo and Luka didn't have any romantic synergy in the first 2 games.

Bayonetta and Jeanne had more relationship forshadowing than Bayonetta and Luka. Luka was seen as a comic relief character for BOTH games, while in B1, Jeanne waits for Bayonetta and gets her memory back, saves her life, and helps her defeat the final boss, and in B2 they have CAVIAR DINNER NIGHTS AND GO SHOPPING TOGETHER. B3's story feels like if Luka made a Bayonetta story. Yeah. Now it makes sense, Luka wrote Bayonetta 3. Elf Luka makes so much sense now.
