Finding out about what David Tennant said about Crowley has done some irreversibale damage oh my god.
Yes, David said this at a fan meeting. Anyways here's the video of him saying it. Man he read the finale to filth with only like, four sentences.
AND HE'S RIGHT OF COURSE !! Crowley's goal has always been deeply intimate, he just wanted to enjoy the simple pleasures that Earth has to offer alongside Aziraphale.
I cannot even imagine David's frustration after putting so much passion and care into understanding Crowley, only for his ending to be the antithesis of what he stands for.
Of course I cannot persume how Michael Sheen feels about the ending, but given how deeply he seems to understand Aziraphale and his relationship with Crowley, I find it difficult not to wonder whether he had similar thoughts.
If we as fans feel disappointed with the ending after following these characters for years, imagine what it must be like for the actors who dedicated a significant portion of their lives to bringing them to life. They spent years thinking about who Crowley and Aziraphale are, what they want, how they grow, and they seemed to really enjoy to watch how their relationship in the show resonates with so many people.
And then there are the dedicated artists who worked tirelessly to bring Good Omens to life behind the scenes. The writers, designers, costumers, makeup artists, set builders, editors, composers, visual effects artists, and countless others who poured their creativity into this world because they believed in the story they were helping tell.
Their work helped create something that touched millions of people, inspired countless fanworks, and gave audiences a relationship that felt deeply meaningful.
Which is why I'm sure many of the people involved in this project ended up asking themselves:
What do you mean that a story about two people choosing each other, choosing Earth, and choosing humanity over the systems that sought to control them ultimately concludes that the world they spent six thousand years protecting is not worth saving?
This story seemed to celebrate the idea that love matters. That the small things matter. That an afternoon at a bookshop, a shared meal, a favorite song or a life built together could be more important than any grand cosmic plan.
it's heartbreaking to know that the ending affected some of the very people who helped bring this world to life. The actors, artists, and crew members who spent years nurturing these characters, thinking deeply about who they were and what they stood for.
And well...this hurts us too.
It's hard not to feel a sense of sadness that the ending has left such a significant portion of the fandom grieving what could have been rather than celebrating what was.
I want to thank the creatives who did care about the story Good Omens was meant to tell. To Michael and David, who poured so much love, thought, and humanity into their characters getting to the point that Crowley and Aziraphale felt real to millions of people.
Most importantly, to the late Terry Pratchett, thank you for helping create a story that celebrated humanity. Thank you for giving us characters who questioned authority and found something worth protecting in an imperfect world.
And of course, to the Good Omen's fandom who just like Aziraphale and Crowley, questioned the message they were given and chose love over cynicism. Thank you for your art, your discussions, the fanfictions, and the community you built around these characters.
Long after the final credits roll, it is your stories and shared love for these characters that ensure they continue to exist in people's hearts.
We can't let them take away our joy and connection to these characters. The ending may belong to the creators, but the comfort and meaning we found in Good Omens belongs to us.
No finale can erase the years we spent laughing with these characters, crying with them, growing alongside them, and finding pieces of ourselves in their story.
So let's keep creating !! Let's keep sharing our art, our stories, and our interpretations. Let's keep celebrating the parts of this world that meant something to us.
After all, if Crowley and Aziraphale taught us anything, it's that sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do is choose love anyway.
The nightingale still sings in Berkeley Square. And as long as we keep choosing love, I think it always will.
