Fix-it ver. Don't Stop Me Now #goodomens3 #goodomens

@notwithhaste__ In a way it makes me think at angel Crowley. So happy with his new nebula, looking forward to see it bloom, only to discover it wouldn't be allowed to.

@notwithhaste__ I discovered GO a year before GO2 and I'm quite old. As much as I love it, it's not something I grown up with, but it is for many others. It's beyond me why they sabotaged it so thoroughly.

people popping up with ‘but i love a tragic movie/play’ that’s great, except there’s a difference between a movie or a play as a standalone piece of work, and a series where attachment to characters is formed over many years. the level of investment and immersion is much greater

Né? E pra piorar esse mesmo pessoal jura que eles vivem em um globo de neve... isso parece episódio de black mirror. Que castigo!

@th3nightingales Writers stole their job

Why wasn't death a character in good omens 3

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design. As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them. We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

@tweedfeather @pyewacket____ I'm hating that "Why give me Crowley" because S1 S2 were not Crowley being "given". It was Crowley choosing Aziraphale over and over. And it's dusted off as just another move in a solitaire game, voiding their history even before physically erasing them.

@pyewacket____ Right, because those scenes would have been further examples of the ineffables’ rich history together that would have just gotten erased at the end.

If #GoodOmens3 had been a six-episode season like originally planned, I don’t know if I’d have liked it any better. Not if it was going to end in the same place. A longer journey would have resolved some issues, but it wouldn’t fix that thematic betrayal of an ending.

@uovoalsugo This. Everyone is dead at the end and we had no time for the main plot, yet we really wanted to expend a scene to let you know Mutt is specifically dead already and their spouse had time to be miserable before dying too. Peak comedy, have a gold star.

btw can we talk about how dark the fate of whickber street was??? everyone gone, shops closing for bankruptcy, gangsters all around, only the casino being open, mutt being DEAD???? like wtf happened to my silly comedy show of silly shopkeepers having a ball as a meeting 😭 #go3

@crowzidefender Crowley lived the Fall, which was supposed to "fix" heaven leaving only selected angels, and the Flood, which restarted the world with selected people. He hated it. I can't see him deciding another do over was the way to go.

genuinely did the ppl writing this realise that the gomens universe was supposed to already be our universe. Like that was the whole point that's part of what made it so interesting and they... destroyed it?

@xxerynx That frame is still my tablet background since GO2

A clear example for Aziraphale is when he organized the ball to make Maggie and Nina fall in love so they can clear up misunderstandings and get together... which is exactly what he was doing with Crowley, and that’s why he invites him to dance.

Guys, since I can’t get enough of talking about the finale, Crowley and Azi and why everything feels so wrong, I wanted to share some more personal thoughts. So thank you in advance if you decide to read another one of my GO rants 😭 #goodomens3 #go3spoiler

@braininbody @Zenkitty714 @AbbyBubbls I don't agree with the premise that there wasn't free will in GO, but in that case, then I think it wasn't their answer to give. They should have asked for humanity to be given that choice.

@Zenkitty714 @AbbyBubbls I think what I and others who have problems with the ending can't really understand is that since God is omnipotent, why could they not have at least asked for a third option which saved the existing universe while erasing God, heaven and hell from its future.

Michael destroyed the world btw, not Aziraphale and Crowley 💀 I dunno where folks are getting that from

@serpent_duck English, the original songs and voices are so good. No subtitles on first watch because they distract a bit from the rest, but I turn them on on rewatch to catch what I missed

for all the non-English speakers who watch Hazbin, do you watch it in English with subtitles or do you watch the dubbed version in your language? just curious :)

@semiralana Is looking at black and white rice in poke and seeing their crumbles celebrating? Asking for dinner

do we?

@pyewacket____ GO3 wants the world "saved" (not you, old universe) with one big heroic gesture. GO was saving it with 6000 years of imperfect choices. Picking coffee over death one day after the other, in fun and hard times. GO to GO3 it's not an arc, it's not even the same genre

This is what fundamentally makes S3 a no-go for me. To turn something as uplifting and hopeful as the first season into whatever cluster fuck this is is just not it. Not at all. To circumvent your own messaging so damn badly? To renounce it so boldly. Wow. What a waste.

It's funny to me how S3 tries to mansplain to us that there isn't any way to dismantle a rigged system. Specifically the dichotomy that is heaven/hell. The problem with this is that we've seen the cracks showing as early as S1.

@pyewacket____ There are system so rigged the only way out is to dismantle them. But the GO universe was not like that, its characters got away with a lot when they choose to. GO3 U-turns and with its half baked lore about the BOL manufactures the very problem it claims it's imperative to solve

@TsekelK Denial would be trying to forget a sad ending you feel it's coherent with the narrative. This is not denial, it's "are you kidding me?". Even suspend disbelief has limits.

I’m doing better. Day to day. I think about it every second of free time. But I don’t cry anymore. Actually, the ending is so incoherent that I don’t consider it canon. I’m inventing my own ending. That’s denial, isn’t it? #goodomens

@1941crowley Exhibit n. 2

where was this energy when he made that last decision in the finale? my crowley would’ve never decided to just erase himself. he’s fundamentally an optimist.

@tweedfeather @kandelyabr55 He was shown as a very average Angel. Because the point was, you don't need to be a big deal to make a difference.

@lenioia @kandelyabr55 Yeah, it felt odd to me, especially considering that Uriel had such disdain for Aziraphale the rest of the show. I had been under the impression that he was a lower-ranked soldier.

making azira a general and a strategist was actually the biggest ooc in the whole s3
