Milton chose to tell, or rather start, his story in much the same
place:  with the hopeless rebels, defending freedom, and the same
universe:  the rebels lose.

What you are asking the author to do amounts to rewriting the entirety
of Paradise Lost:  gradually shift the viewpoint _after_ our sympathy
for the devil has been engaged, so that we later see the devil for
what he really is.

It was mildly amusingly ironic that the movie where Jim Kirk uses this
line is "The Wrath of Khan", featuring the return of the character who,
in his first appearance, holds precisely the same debate with Kirk.  He
even asks Kirk if the latter has ever read Milton, as a way of giving
his response to the same question.

I assume this was intentional.
