i feel like shadowhunters throws the term ‘nephilim’ around lightly. nephilim is when an angel and a human have an offspring together, but since shadowhunters were made by the mortal cup with angel blood, they gained powers. i understand where they would make the connection but i think it’s inaccurate.
i feel like they should be categorized as enhanced superhumans rather than nephilim. it makes more sense since none of them are descendants of ACTUAL angels.
