sometimes liking or disliking something is not black and white. not always there is a hard edge diving those two feelings.
something may be a bad piece of media and you might still like it, and the opposite is also true. sometimes, a piece of media is good and one still dislikes it. and, most of the times, media is not easily categoriesed as good or bad and people will still love and hate it.
Good omens has an extremely emotionally taxing ending. there's a lot to digest and to process and think about, both in screen and surrounding the process of its creation.
A lot of people have been taking their first emotional reaction as negative. putting feelings like grief, sadness and anger under the umbrella of "bad", and so tagging the finale like that too. I don't agree with that.
these 90 minutes are being extremely hard on me. I still can't put it to proper words, and I probably won't for a long while. But what I can say for now is that it's a good ending. Not a perfect one, not what we would've choosen, but a good one. there's a lot LOT of things in it that are flawed, and most of them tie back to the season being compressed into a movie. but there's also a lot LOT of well done things.
I hope that the fandom in general will be able to discuss this without antagonising each other. even if you think the end was not good (and there's things that back up that thought) this discussion is good. the back and forth of theories and analysis and discussion about character arcs and all the fan creations, are what make fandom.
I fell in love with good omens, the story, the characters, the world building, but most of all I fell in love with the fandom. and this moment of conflicting emotions and thoughts right here is very good. I hope we all can enjoy and make it the best it can be.
