The road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions.

I can shed some light into this but from the Islamic perspective, when Adam was created god ordered Lucifer to bow to him, but he refused and said , I am better than , i was created from fire and Adam from mud. So god banished him for his disobedience.

Maybe they are referring to him being the snake and getting eve to eat the apple

I think they’re referring to him wanting to be as powerful as God.

The connection to the 'adversary' and the serpent in the garden is inferred (and I can argue that it is erroneously so) rather than shown, even in the text (the character is only referred to as 'that old serpent' elsewhere in the cannon), in part because the Adam and Eve myth was, according to some scholars, lifted from previously existing mythos and adopted for the Torah.
This would make sense, from an archeological perspective.
You really need to read things in to have Lucifer as also being the snake in the garden, but then again, the role of 'The accuser' or the 'adversary' was also lifted from other religions, in particular the traditions of Zoarastrianism, one of the LEADING religions of the regions of Judaisms inceptions.
There is NO QUESTION to the fact that the writers of the Old Testament were aware of, and able to respond to (and DID) the ideas of the competing, neighboring religion of Zoarastrianism, and evidence can be found in the character of the Lucifer, being an 'incarnation' of Ahrihman the accuser, with 'Ba'al Zebora' being maliciously translated as not the 'lord on high', but the 'Lord of flies' to make those Ba'alites look bad/ 'demon worshippers'.

God is the Creator but people think it's unfair that they don't get His superpowers.
"Let us rule this world!"
Yeah... We've seen how that turned out.
Let God reign, and things will be perfect.

There is nothing wrong to demand equal rights. The problem is that most feminists don't want that. They want privilege, privilege and more privilege. Of course they deny it officially, but just meet with a bunch of them, before understanding that all they want is more rights for themselves, equality be damned.

This could be taken very wisely or very badly, my guess is given the recent decent into degeneracy the latter is much more likely.

You surely won't die, but you will be like God knowing good and evil.

No, he demanded "freedom" from his existing responsibilities and when denied, he started a resistance to usurp God out of his throne. Later he was banished to Hell as a punishment for his betrayal.
Not once have I heard of Lucifer advocating for equal rights.
