I've had so long to process, and I just can't get over how nihilistic and toxic a message it is to end with "If things are imperfect, just die, and take everyone else with you. Maybe some other people in the future might be happy, you'll never know, you'll be dead and no one will care."
How we ended up there feom a canon that told us "Things are imperfect, so be responsible and care for the imperfect people around you"... Well, we know why.
Neil Bloody Gaiman.
I can cope with complex or bittersweet endings. This was neither.
The epilogue just seemed so manipulatively sentimental and empty, right up to the misuse of Time After Time (a song about a relationship ending!) and maybe it's a nightingale, maybe not. No fanon desperately claiming they became stardust or whatever does anything to balance out the sheer flat hopelessness of genocidal suicide.
This is not what Good Omens was or ever should be.
