Good Omens 2 Criticism

Real talk: I’m glad this sequel exists, but let’s not pretend it’s as good as the first series/season.

Hoping to spark some critical discussion - opinions welcome!

The plot itself lacked momentum. Sometimes the Gabriel plot line, which ostensibly is the MAIN plot, felt like a distraction to the getting Nina/Maggie together plot, which really is a side quest.

The Nina and Maggie characters are shallow, and their whole thing was unconvincing. Before the first ep, there’s no evidence to suggest that the two had ever even talked! How in the world am I supposed to believe that within the course of days these two are supposed to wind up together?

Gabriel…. So the idea of an amnesiac Gabriel is intriguing, but the resolution felt rushed and out of left field. That Beelzebub and he are…. in love(??), after just a few one-on-one meetings, strains belief. I don’t see it. I’m not a shipper, I watched the first season and they barely interacted. So we need an infodump/retcon in order to make it even remotely plausible.

Overall the season felt smaller, the stakes were lower, the themes less grand and less cohesive. If the first season was about trusting humanity with their own future (BIG IDEA), season 2 is about… getting two randos to fall in love, which is supposed to show the power of love?? Ierno that’s kinda thin to me.

Aziraphale and Crowley. These are the two I’m actually invested in. I ship them, like everyone else. I am sad about the ending, like everyone else. And I do think the scenes between them (both in the minisodes in the past, and in the present day) are the best parts of the series.

But I don’t want to reduce their love affair to a soap opera. There are some big concepts in the original Good Omens. Stuff like free will vs design, good vs evil, whether good is possible no matter the circumstance, whether one can find/create meaning in a world without meaning.

I want to see those themes played out in Aziraphale and Crowley. I want those discussions about dolphins and eternity and God. The Job episode delivered some of that, and it’s my favorite because of it. But overall I don’t think this season cared too much about big ideas.

And that’s sad to me. That may be fanservice and enjoyable for what it is but it’s not good.

Is it even normal to consider suicide at 18 years old?

#just wondering #does anyone else feel like this? #cause I think about it everyday #mental health sucks #But lately I feel less scared and more at peace with the thought #i don’t know what to make of that #tw suicide mention #tw suicidal thoughts #frankly I don’t really want to die. but life is just #not a joke I am literally considering it

Hello :) To start, thanks for running this blog!

I'm arospec, but I crush soooo hard. It doesn't last long and it never turns into romantic atraction. I dislike how it makes me feel, so I generally try to wait it out.

I've been in multiple relationships, but they could be considered queer platonic.

BUT right now I'm crushing on someone who literally lives 9.999km away (I googled it. Yes, very lesbian.) And the fact that the romance is improbable, makes me feel better? Like, I've settled into the crushing, flirting, teasing thing and I'm actually enjoying it a lot. I don't know why or what this means, but does anyone feel like this?

I feel kinda left out when people are tagging others and I never get tagged like :(

That’s why I left the fandom tbh, a lot of people aren’t very welcoming and my fanfics never get noticed so what’s the point

I get that anon, I don’t personally really have a lot of mutuals compared to others so I get how it feels a bit isolating sometimes

And I also understand the fanfic thing, that’s kind of why I just dropped all my works and stopped writing tbh, sometimes it’s just exhausting and sometimes I feel like I’m competing with others and writing should never feel like that

That’s also why I don’t post much anymore

the writing process is so weird to me, because I tend to write at like 2 am on my phone without my contacts or glasses on, and I think it’s simply the best thing I’ve ever written. And then, in my hubris, I post it (like a dumbass).

But then I read it the next morning and I feel the need to delete it immediately because it is objectively the worst thing I’ve ever written.

you have to be in an intense tangled intimate loathing fervent unhealthy toxic and passionate relationship with your university, with the coursework and the buildings and the libraries and the faculty members. otherwise you have no grind

I feel like today has been overwhelming even though I did nothing and just been sitting down watching TV.

I dont know it might be me. Or does anyone else feel like that?

I dont mind staying home. sometimes, it gets overwhelming, and I just want to go out, but at the same time, I don't want to go out.

I don't know if this makes any sense, haha.

I think what's most depressing about the age-old uneven like-to-reblog ratio debacle here on tumblr is when other artists/writers don't even reblog art/fanfic. when you see a slew of likes from artists on a post but not a one of them is reblogging, something feels like it has to change.

ok so my grandpa just died a few hours ago. i never really saw him often, maybe like once a month? but like- i was told this like 4 hrs and it has no processed, and i think thats because i havent seen life without him in it yet, does anyone else get that?

like someone you are kinda close with dies and you dont really feel anything but deep down sadness, because you havent experienced life without that person yet?

idk this is the first time since i was 6 that someone fairly close to me died and idk how to deal with that bs

me walking jnto school on tuesday to my friendgroup before school starts: hey youre never gonna believe what fucking happened over the weekend

#i am sad about his death- but just- #only deep down #like it just feels like another day #idk #does anyone else feel like this? #it also happened legit today so i dont know what its gonna be like without him 🤷🏻

I keep hearing about Omocat and the new Omori figures

And I think that's really cool

But for some reason I feel bad every time I hear about it

I feel the same way with Jayck34's Faraway Logs series.

Like

It's really cool and it looks incredible!

But I can't watch it, because I'll feel bad if I do.

Idk what's wrong with me. Maybe I'm just afraid to enjoy things sometimes.
