I'am sorry to everyone that did but i didn't like the ending. Not only because aziracrow didn't kiss, or hug or have their happy ending. But because the series lacked meaning at the end.

I started watching Good Omens because it's a series that allows you to think and question religion without following the rules of Docma, and without denying its existence either. With its many contradictions and imperfections, but with the idea that everything has a meaning we can't quite grasp, but which is ultimately good. And this ending took that away from me.

It concluded that the rules of religion and the existence of superior beings interfere with free will. That since the system is flawed, it must be destroyed. But wasn't the world worth saving even if it's imperfect? Wasn't the fact that the world is flawed a reason to fix it, not destroy it?

For me, the problem that the series had to solve was the black-and-white mentality. That the world could be better by accepting imperfections and creating a gray area. That the fight between heaven and hell was what made no sense, and that they didn't even know why they were fighting any more.

I would have liked that, in the end, Aziraphale and Crowley gave the angels and demons the possibility to choose. Because it's them who couldn't choose and only did what they were told by god or the Metatron or satan. Humans had always been able to do whatever they wanted. And that way, the black-and-white mentality would end. Some entities would choose to be human, some would want to help humans after death in Purgatory. And Crowley and Aziraphale could stay on Earth, not to influence humans but to give them options. Because sometimes when humans don't know what to do, what we need are options so we can decide better. Not to be told what to do.

And i also wanted for aziracrow to watch over us, to protect us. And they could stay with humanity because the love that they have for each other and the love they have for the earth is one and the same. They learn to love earth because of each other and love each other because of the time that they had on earth. You can't make them choose.

So no, I don't like this ending. Thanks to everyone who worked on it because the circumstances weren't good, but there were people who love this story and wanted to give it an ending despite everything. But it's not my ending, I have another one. And we can create another one because this is our story too.

I personally don't really want a movie of Moon Knight. I'm perfectly fine with several hundred seasons of the series.

Ugh the hyperfixation has me in a chokehold, here’s another Moon Knight meta post

I just love the decision to start the show from Steven’s perspective. Comic book fans might be thrown off because Marc’s perspective was the primary one in the comics, and first time viewers might be confused because—where’s the action? I thought this was a superhero show? Why is the primary protag a sweet bumbling nerd?

But imo starting from Steven’s perspective was super important. Not only does it set up mystery and psychological thriller vibes. Not only does it provide the “Everyman” for the audience to identify with and learn about the mythology through. I think the most important thing that writing choice did is remove any concept that one alter is the “real” person and the other alters are just offshoots. It’s pretty clear from meeting Layla that Marc has probably been the host/fronted the most for a long time, enough to build long and deep relationships (and get possessed by Khonshu). And Marc is the one who’s aware he has DID. In retrospect, Steven’s life is paper-thin; he has no real friendships, no connections, he only has a minimum wage job and a fish to keep him company. Done poorly, an unfamiliar audience may dismiss Steven as the weird “normal” version of Marc who sometimes gets in the way of Marc’s superheroing.

But because we spent the first two episodes strictly following Steven’s perspective, we cannot deny that Steven is his own person, with a rich and complex internal world. We sympathize with him, we’re frightened and disoriented when we lose time with him, we cheer for him when he grows. And then the POV switch happens in ep 3, and we see Marc going through the same things, except now they’re because of Steven (blacking out, saying he needs help, afraid to sleep in case he loses control). The other side of the reflection. And we realize that DID influences Steven’s life just as much as it influences Marc’s life. Neither is the “real” one, neither is a “parasite” on the other. They’re two people who are struggling to figure out how to inhabit the same body.

Before Moon Knight, I knew almost nothing about DID other than the horrifically bad depictions in stuff like Split. So it was a real oh, shit moment when I realized that Steven is the one with a less developed life compared to Marc. And yet to treat Steven as any lesser because of that is unthinkable, because he’s so clearly a real person. I’ll leave it to people who actually have DID to judge the show on how well it depicts DID overall, but if there’s one thing I’m grateful to Moon Knight for, it’s drilling into me the need to respect each alter as their own person, who is also experiencing DID from their own unique perspective. Sounds basic, I know. But it didn’t really hit me until it was dramatized like this.

Episode 4 spoilers warning!!! Play at your own risk

Back at it again! I wanna just …. Talk. About this scene.

LIKE???? HELLO??? They’re both being played by the same actor and Oscar does such a fucking good job portraying Steven and Marc because you can tell who’s who by just LOOKING AT THEM??

And here??? The stark difference between Steven’s open, flailing hands and Marc’s balled up fist and somewhat defensive stance??? How Steven backs away and Marc stays in place while looking at Taweret?

And the little details like Steven grabbing the towels and messing them up because he doesn’t know how else to react and what to do?? 😭

THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PITCHES OF THEIR SCREAMS????

IM LOSING IT. OSCAR ISAAC NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME 🤍 bloody fucking genius with a shit load of talent!! Oscar Isaac supremacy.

Bout to be emotional but the part when Marc is in the "hospital" and desperately trying to call for Steven is just so raw. It's the most vulnerable we've seen Marc, just him wanting Steven back with him. And as someone with DID that used to get sedated that sh*t hit hard cause it's just like. You can barely move but you need to call out to them, you need them beside you even if they're just whispering that they're there with you. How am I getting so emotional about a show!? I'm crying again.

the way i’m sobbing that hug took me OUT
