Man, remember how right after S2 came out there was this huge debate in the Fandom where one half was like “OMG I can’t wait until GO3 comes out and Aziraphale tearfully apologizes to Crowley and begs him for forgiveness and honestly sincerely shows he realizes how wrong he was and how much he hurt Crowley!!” and then the other half was like “Hey, hold on! Aziraphale shouldn’t just be groveling to Crowley like that! It's not like he's perfect and right all the time! Aziraphale’s choices were misguided but understandable and the narrative should acknowledge that he had some good reasons to do what did and that he’s suffering too!”
And then GO3 actually came out and instead of getting either of these, we just got the Worst of Both Worlds. We got a narrative where Aziraphale gave Crowley nothing but the shittiest Nopologies ever and it doubles-down on the one point that Crowley, and the audience, was most upset about (Angel Crowley) and also one that treats Crowley like he is perfect and right all the time and absolutely refuses to engage with Az’s pain and continues to treat his viewpoint as nothing but overly naive foolishness!
