Idk uh loose thoughts on the Good Omens 3 movie. Gonna start with the positives. (Spoilers)
Jesus was cute and I really wish we could've seen more of his storyline. I couldn't help but feel happy seeing him just be so nice and how humanized he was.
Crowley losing the Bently to protect the bookshop was sweet I liked that. Sad? Yeah, but I live for a messy heartbroken Crowley. I love a bit of angst to chew on.
Casting and acting were great imo.
South Downs Cottage yay! *cries*
More Muriel is always good, love them.
Aziraphale's demon disguise was not something I knew I needed to see lol. That was fun.
Crowley, now Anthony, being able to see the stars made me emotional. My favorite snake can see his creations again (except technically he didn't make them this time but WHATEVER let me have this).
Aaaaaand the negatives...
I really thought we were gonna focus on the second coming plotline bc that's interesting (to me at least). Idk why that got shoved aside for a book of life plot. It's just not nearly as interesting and it makes both plots feel worse. Never half ass two things, whole ass one thing or whatever.
Idk I would've liked to see Azi really apologize to Crowley for the things he said in the s2 finale. Like idk man saying things like "you're the bad guys" to him still rubs me wrong. Felt like Crowley forgave him under 0 pressure, which still could be in character I guess but a proper apology would've been nice. He kinda just went "I need you to forgive me." Like man maybe ask? Be like "could you please forgive me?" I love Azi but sometimes I think he fails to see how the things he does affects others. Even when it's staring him in the face like when he went back to Earth and saw everyone was gone after he left.
Look, I get that not all romances have to have a dramatic kiss or physical affection to express their love, but idk it would've been nice to see them hug at least. Have one moment of touch to express their love for each other at the end after 6000 years of pining. Don't @ me about Azi not being very touchy, he is with Crowley do not lie to me. We all saw his hand on Crowley's chest in the pub and on his waist in Edinburgh in s2. I guess the finger kiss was cute but hmm... not even Asa and Anthony kissed man I'm in shambles. The shot of their rings got me teared up tho I won't lie.
Bury your gays trope, my beloathed. I'm begging for writers to stop killing off their queer characters after they confess/get together. It's been done a million times and the community deserves better in the big 2026. At least they're together in other universes/reincarnations I suppose. I just can't get past how that's just not them really.
I think Crowley choosing for the universe to be remade with free will does technically work as an end to his character arc, BUT it feels like there wasn't enough build up to that conclusion. At least throughout this movie. If we got more instances of him considering such a thing for humanity, not just himself and Aziraphale, then it would feel more believable by the time we got there. As is, it felt jarring hearing him make that choice. It feels like we got halfway there through 2 seasons and then jumped the gun at the last moment. Idk maybe that's just me.
I find the choice to reset the universe kinda cheap? I feel it might've been more poignant and meaningful to have the supernatural forces stop interfering so much with the original reality so that humans can grow and better themselves, instead of just wiping it clean and starting over. Like idk wiping the slate feels like a way to just not deal with the problem anymore instead of working to fix it. Like you had Jesus right there and did nothing with him! He could've played a part in that!
Idk man I'm just gonna go back into my hole. I'm grateful we have a conclusion, even if I do have my gripes. I send my thanks to everyone who made the finale possible (except for Gaiman, we hate him in this house). I may have negative feelings, but it's here and I can move on.
