In case you needed more of a reason to cry about GO3
Iâve been thinking a lot about this scene.
All throughout Good Omens all we hear is Crowley say how corrupt Heaven is and how it really isnât much different from Hell. They donât care about humanity any more than Hell. They arenât any less okay with annihilating humanity than Hell. And they certainly arenât any nicer to their angels any more than Hell are to their demons.
We hear him tell Aziraphale multiple times that he canât fix it, because, as Aziraphale always says, the Great Plan is Ineffable which includes Heaven and everything God created. Nothing can be done to change it.
So I always assumed that Crowley was sort of âenlightenedâ for lack of a better term. He knew what he had brought to the table. He created so many beautiful stars and nebulae. He was excited about what Heaven was doing and the things they were creating. He was âworking closely with upstairsâ on projects because he was someone to be trusted. And yet he fell because he asked a few questions. What kind of reaction is that? What kind of system says they care and then throw you into the pit because you asked a question? Obviously, itâs ridiculous and Crowley seems to recognize that. So I just figured he realized what bullshit that was, washed his hands of it and moved on.
But when Aziraphale dares to say that Crowley was Godâs best angel, this is his response. Somewhere in Crowleyâs mind thereâs still the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed angel that thinks he was out of line. That feels ashamed of his behavior. That despite all of his hard work canât see past his one mistake. An angel that was so brainwashed, traumatized, tortured and mistreated that he still believes,
âI was a terrible angel.â
