Remember in season 1, when people were debating over Aziraphale & Crowley’s relationship. Despite Neil Gaiman, Michael Sheen and David Tennant confirming ineffable husbands being in love, there were still some that believed and argued they were just platonic best friends.
And then season 2 came and hit all of us like a truck.
The main reason Crowley didn’t want Gabriel around was because the last time he saw him, Gabriel had tried to kill Aziraphale. Crowley was trying to protect Aziraphale.
We love (protective) Crowley protecting his angel.
The Scuttlebutt didn’t feel so out of place. Out of context it feels weird but with the context not so much. Because Scuttles mostly blabbers in the movie.
The rap wasn’t bad in my opinion.
Also, I found Daveed Diggs’ (he voices Sebastian in the live action) rap at the end of the song to hype up Ariel to get ready to be kinda similar to Daveed Diggs role in Hamilton as Lafayette when he was telling Washington to get his right hand man back for the war. If this was intentional, it felt like a nice reference.
The visual affects were stunning. It made it seem like it was actually taking place underwater, which was the point and they achieved that pretty well.
I personally don’t mind Flounder and Sebastian looking realistic because every other fish is also realistic in the movie, so they fit in and don’t look out of place.
I especially loved the music. I’m a huge fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s work in general, and he did not disappoint and amazed me with his work once again. In my opinion the songs were the most entertaining and enjoyable part of the movie and kept it from being boring.
The songs feel like musical theater songs, I’m not surprised by that because Lin-Manuel Miranda worked on them and he has worked for Broadway musicals before. They sounded fantastic.

I love how different Halle Bailey is to the original Ariel.
The original Ariel’s Part of Your World song seemed a bit melancholic and Ariel seemed resigned to her fate. Halle Bailey’s Ariel’s Part of Your World song was a combination of frustration and determination. This made the two reprises of the song later on in the film even more powerful. With one being hopeful and the other being sorrowful. I commend Halle Bailey on conveying all those different emotions, she’s an excellent singer and actress.
Unlike the animated film, Ariel doesn't actually go up to the surface until after her fight with her father which is a small but smart change that I liked. Instead of being rebellious because she's a teenager this version of Ariel is frustrated at the fact that she's constantly ignored and controlled and I like that Triton's unreasonable behavior effectively becomes the catalyst for her to go to the surface, I like that irony.
The storm in the beginning of the movie felt almost identical to the animated movie. The effects felt realistic and climactic.
I love how Ariel got a song when she first became a human. It made us see her perspective and understand her better.
Compared to to the animated Ariel, this version of Ariel was less Love Struck. Instead she seems to be more intrigued by Eric in the human world which does feel more realistic. It shows her curiosity for the human world a lot more. Which is a change I liked.
I’m glad they didn’t go for the love at first sight thing for the remake and gave Ariel and Eric time to bond. I loved the chemistry between them.
I personally prefer their bonding time in the live action over the dinner they had in the original, and we still got a “dinglehopper” scene.
Also, I found the way Eric learned Ariel’s name to be adorable.
In the animated film it's kind of a love at first sight moment with Ariel falling for Eric after he talks about looking for his dream girl but in the live action it's more like their kindred spirits both feeling pressured to live up to their family's expectations of them and sharing a desire to explore the world. They understood each other and related to one another without the use of words, which I find adorable.
I loved the market Eric and Ariel went to. The production team made a fantastic job, it really seemed like it could be a marketplace in the kingdom. I also love the choreography, the music and the dance for the place, it seemed very fitting and not out of place.
I also love how we got to see Prince Eric’s side of the story, he even had his own song.
In my opinion him being adopted gives him more character depth, him loosing his parents in a shipwreck gives him more reason to be so drawn to the sea.
When Eric recovered he sends people to look for the girl who saved him and I like that he takes a more active role in finding her in the live action, unlike in the animated movie where he’s just wandering around on a beach. Because of the incident his mother forbids him from sailing again which leads to our first new song of the film wild Uncharted Waters. The lyrics are filled with Maritime references which are a bit obvious which is good in my opinion because it makes the viewer understand them easier. It works for the new direction they've taken with Eric's character. It feels like a heartfelt song, I think Jonah Hauer-King made a great delivery of it.
I also liked how Ariel instantly forgot she had to kiss Eric. It made it seem like their love was even more “impossible” because if she couldn’t kiss Eric she’d turn back into a mermaid and be under Ursula’s control. It also made Ursula even more evil.
Ursula and Triton were actually siblings during the early development of the 1989 film but this dynamic was scrapped, I’m glad we got to see it in the live action.
I think Trident and Ursula being related helps with Ariel’s deal with Ursula.
Because Ariel had never met Ursula, she had just heard what her father said about her. She doesn’t fully believe her father because he also told her people are evil and she saw that to be false with her own eyes when she saw Eric. She was already doubting about what her father thought of “evil”.
She had also just gotten into a big fight with him and her trust for him had decreased.
She was also scared of her and thought about leaving but Ursula successfully manipulated her.
I also think the live action Ursula is pretty good. She’s manipulative and evil, she also has a great voice.
Overall, I think the changes were good changes and fit into the story.
Jeremy Brett, with his wife Anna Massey, and their son David Huggins
To be honest, I would prefer a Marauders prequel series to see everything that happened before Harry.
Destiel Putin Covid, you were named after the most memorable events that happened in 2020.
Jeremy Brett Being Charming (2)
Besides Jeremy Brett looking like a Charming Prince in My Fair Lady, he acted like a Prince Charming as well.
The way he looks at Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) is so adorable. He looks at her with such admiration and love.
He tips off his hat for her. Such a gentleman.
The way he stands by her side.
He brings her flowers.
He’s ready to wait for her, no matter how long it may take.
Everything about him is pure perfection.
Bad boys are overrated, we need more guys like Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Jeremy Brett).
Jeremy Brett’s Charm
Jeremy Brett always had this prince-like charm.
He looked like a perfect Disney Prince.
Especially in My Fair Lady, he both looked and acted like a Prince Charming in the movie.
I am distraught, I am in ruins, I am a shell of a man.
Am I the only that finds it more frustrating when the author says “use your imagination” than an unfinished fic.
Because when it’s unfinished there’s at least the tiniest amount of hope of the author coming back to it.
But when it’s “use your imagination” I just wanna throw my phone at the wall.
Still here

Fun Fact: Aziraphale learned the dance Gavotte (this is mentioned in season one).
The final step of Gavotte is to kiss your partner. This explains why Aziraphale was upset when the Gavotte went out of fashion. I imagine he learnt it in the hopes that one day he might convince Crowley to dance it with him. But by the time he was brave enough to ask Crowley to come to the club, he couldn't because nobody danced it anymore.
Aziraphale had waited over a hundred years, waiting for the right opportunity, to ask Crowley to dance with him.
Instead of Oye Primos, they could’ve made a spin-off series of Encanto.

To be honest, I can’t decide if I ship Sherlock and John romantically or platonically.
I’m not sure if want them to be in a romantic relationship because we need more LGBTGIA+ representation in media, and Sherlock and John’s pairing is a good idea.
A detective and his assistant, solving crimes, going on adventures and saving each other. Falling in love on the way.
But on the other hand, having them as platonic close friends shows a healthy close male friendship without any toxic masculinity/insecurities, and showing that two friends can care for each other without any romance.
Ineffable Fandom: WE NEED A NEW SEASON!
Everyone else: YOU JUST FINISHED ONE!
Ineffable Fandom: WHEN’S THE NEXT ONE?!
Good Omens Season 2 has hurt my heart that nothing but Season 3 redemption can heal.
We all wanted Aziraphale and Crowley to end up like Beelzebub and Gabriel, having their happily ever after but they ended up being more like Maggie and Nina. Even after the most epic adventure, and 6000 years of pining, they still couldn’t be together.
Crowley thought him and Aziraphale could be like Gabriel and Beelzebub, going off together for the rest of eternity, but then he realised they weren’t on “our side” anymore and Aziraphale couldn't accept that Crowley isn't an angel and Crowley not wanting to go back to be an angel.
Crowley just wanted to be with Aziraphale, his angel.
This ripped my heart out, broke it to pieces, threw it on the floor and stomped on it.
I’m broken now.
Oh come on! You can’t just give us a kiss and then make us cry by our favorite ineffable couple breaking up.
We’ve waited 6000 years for this but AT WHAT COST!
I’m tired, I’m bed, in need of sleep. But I can’t sleep because I can’t wait for season 2 of Good Omens.
I feel like I’ve waited 6000 years for this.
I won’t miss it for the world.
I want Crowley to call Aziraphale “my angel” in Good Omens season 2
He already calls him “my angel” in other languages so why not in English?
Bonus points if it’s in a protective way like “stay away from my angel”.
Am I asking too much?
I know the Ineffable Fandom went crazy over Neil Gaiman saying “They like holding hands”. But we don’t know if we’ll get any physical affection from Aziraphale and Crowley. Because they’re both canonically asexual but still in love.
But to be honest, the only physical affection I want to see from them is a hug.
Bonus points if it’s a reunion hug.
I want Crowley to bend down to reach Aziraphale’s height, I want Crowley to hide his smile on his angel’s shoulder. I want them to whisper “I love you” to each other.
If it’s a reunion hug, hearing “I missed you” would also be very adorable!
Am I asking too much?
I love how the characters didn’t try to cure their scars and still have them in the end. It makes them more realistic.
Plus, it goes so well with their designs and it makes them look even more badass than they already are.
