Crowley and Aziraphale shouldn't have been the ones who "saved" the world at the end.

Season 1, it's Adam and the Them, who stand up to Satan and the others. Aziraphale and Crowley literally do nothing and that's how it's supposed to be. The don't raise Adam, the switch wasn't their fault, it's the humans that save the world.

Season 2, we have Gabriel and Beelzebub. It's their story. Aziraphale housed Gabriel sure, but it's Bee's fly that has the memories, it's them standing up for their love. The biggest conflict there is just the accidental war that may occur with Gabriel missing, which again saved by them just leaving (though this could be a problem that can be considered to have been brought upon themselves but eh)

Now Season 3, the Second Coming and the whole word is in danger again. Remember;

"For my money, the really big one will be all of us against all of them. What? You mean Heaven and Hell against humanity?"

Against Humanity

What the fuck did the humans do in this season? Where did they give their input in their decision? Why did it all come down to Aziraphale and Crowley to make the decision behalf of them?

Now I would completely understand if it was Jesus (and or along with Adam). We see him interact with people, hear their worries and all that she-bang. I'm not the first person to say that he would make more sense to argue with God.

If you are going to showcase humanity in the form of Crowley and Aziraphale, don't make Aziraphale praise Crowley to be the best angel, don't make it as if the whole 2 seasons + book of learning that humans don't need demons or angels (seriously have we forgotten season 1), that free will doesn't exist when Anathema burns those pages, when Nina still not getting together with Maggie, are you saying they were not free will?

Everyone found their eyes turning toward Adam. He seemed to be thinking very carefully.

Then he said, "I don't see why it matters what is written. Not when it's about people. It can always be crossed out."

And what if I never needed their souls to be 'intertwined by fate'? What if all that I needed is for them to love each other because they have known and understood and shaped each other for so long? And what if I never cared about them ‘finding each other in every universe?’ What if all that I wanted is for them, in this universe where the odds were so stacked against them, to choose each other?

you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself

[twwings]

compare season one Aziraphale, conscientious objector and/or draft dodger, to season three Aziraphale, celebrated military general. join me as I reflect on this particular little kernel of disappointment for a moment

[iforgiveyouprime]

It hurts like hell that Crowley got all the comforting and all the words of love and devotion, while Aziraphale, across the entire 90 minutes, didn’t hear anything like that from Crowley at all. And from God, the only things he heard were that he was prideful, gluttonous, and deceitful. Fuck off with that.

[amuseoffyre]

Another thought: five separate characters including Crowley and Aziraphale playing or being shown how to play games of skill and chance (some of which are rigged) in the finale only for it to be a plot point that goes absolutely nowhere in the final confrontation with a God who specifically has canonical history of making ridiculous bets with creatures of Hell/Heaven.

The angel and demon who found the loopholes that allowed the arrangement and helped them to delay Armageddon 1.0 didn't find a way to win their world's freedom - like the Bentley - through the games of skill and chance they had played their entire existence?

So many plot points that went nowhere 😩 Baby Jee was clearly meant to be there. He was learning Find the Lady for Plot Reasons tied to the Games of Skill and Chance. He was to S3 what Adam was to S1. He was going to Find the Lady and win the game and change the house rules.

[sapierror]

also, I really don't know how to phrase this but to me the finale misses the joke, you know?

it forgets that the christian cosmology was the setting, told through corporate satire, not the villain. even God wasn’t an active tyrant; she was an absent CEO, leaving individual contributors like Aziraphale and Crowley to realize their job descriptions were irrelevant to the company's bottom line anyway, so they coasted by on minimum effort

that corporate satire was what allowed this to be a comedy, a space to tell a beautiful story about choices, humanity, and love. the finale for some reason treats that background seriously, it turns that setting into an omnipotent, dystopian threat, which completely suffocates both the romance and the humor by replacing a petty system you can outwit, outsmart, outmanouver with a bleak, unearned nightmare where "the company controls your every breath, and you can never clock out"

Screw everyone who wants you to give up, this world is worth saving

Good Omens 3 pissed off/confused kind of rant incoming be warned

just saw a post making the connection that human Anthony Crowley is clearly meant to be angel Crowley, not demon Crowley, but instead of coming to the conclusion that this is stripping Crowley of his identity they said that this is a good thing because Crowley never should have fallen in the first place? I am so baffled. Crowley is the character he is because of the fall and the millennia he spent interacting with the world as a demon. He likes driving recklessly, being a low grade menace to humans, terrorizing his plants, engaging in sloth, and using his position to thwart heaven in their malicious plans. Crowley isnt a good person (just a little bit, deep down, etc.) despite the things that happened to him, but because of the them. Angel Crowley ("the angel you knew is not me") is not the character we know and love. Do you even like this character if you want him to be completely different???

idk i get the vibe from people who liked the finale that they have beliefs about trauma and identity that rub me the wrong way. Trauma sucks, obviously, but learning to cope and exist with it fundamentally changes you from the person you would be without it, and that isnt inherently a bad thing! Supernaturally removing the trauma from a person is not "saving" them, it's essentially destroying the person they worked hard to become. People with trauma can and deserve to be happy as the people they are today, not as some hypothetical version of a person they might be if nothing went wrong for them.

Maybe im also reading a bit into it as "Crowley is a good person (the best angel 🙄), so this bad thing shouldnt have happened to him" meaning "bad things only happen to bad people" which is probably not what they intend. Bad things happen to everyone; traumatic things can happen to anyone indiscriminately. They become part of your life all the same. Killing off your traumatized and depressed character and then creating a new version of "them" that acts completely differently and has none of the experiences of the original one and making the new one happy is just not sending a good message about these things 💀

[laudnumdrinker]

I really resent how we spent two seasons and a book learning all about how Aziraphale and Crowley became more humanlike than any other angel and demon in history because of how they lived and loved and suffered alongside humans, only for the finale to suggest that they're not people enough to deserve to live as they are. I thought the whole point was that their kind can be just as nuanced as humans, and that heaven and hell aren't the true arbiters of good and evil– PEOPLE are. Angels and demons are victims just as much as humans in their system. It's devastating to me that their whole species was genocided out of existence forever. They deserved a chance to live.

Honestly I never really liked the idea of Aziraphale and Crowley's first meeting being before the beginning when it was introduced in S2, and the scene in S3 just cemented it.

Like yeah. It's cute. "Look at you, you're gorgeous" is funny. Angel!Crowley being a silly cutie compared to Aziraphale's innocent sweetness is very nice.

But at the same time, I think it's so much more poignant that Aziraphale shielded a complete stranger on the Wall of Eden. He didn't do it because he knew who the angel Crowley was, but because... Aziraphale is fundamentally a good, trusting person. He didn't smite Crowley since he doesn't *want* to smite anyone -- he doesn't actually hate demons even though he should. And Crowley, simultaneously, reassured Aziraphale not because he was remembering the sweet worrier of an angel he met before the Beginning, but because *Crowley* is also a good person.

I like the idea that these two strangers who have no reason to trust each other, who have nothing in common on the face of it, just decide to trust each other anyway, because they can, because they see a kindred goodness and love for humanity in each other right from the start. And I somehow feel like this notion that Aziraphale loved Crowley before he was a demon, or that Crowley knew how notorious Aziraphale was as a hunter during the war, really cheapens that.
