Every time I think about what Earth has been through with the angels watching it... how ARE they supposed to take the apocalypse seriously? Endverse, which was worse than the grand Michael/Lucifer showdown didn't have anything on the Late Permian Extinction. And they were told to watch. It was all a part of the great written narrative. If anything, wouldn't that want you to run to the end? Stop all that suffering? Why wouldn't be the way to bring about paradise? The only reason we see Anna or Cas think otherwise is they get enamoured by humanity itself, the individual, and they fall and shift their perspective. But to shift a perspective built over billions of years of catastrophic traumatising events? The angels are not equipped to care about individual lifeforms not because they can't, but because it means a paradigm shift so great. They've been desensitized in an unimaginable way to hold to grand narrative that's slipping through their finger's at God's abandonment. Of course most of them want to finally get to the end.
