A Captain And His Crew

🌌🪐 "We Are Going Home!"🪐🌌

more good omens!! literally whats up with these guys

witch inspired bill cipher but he has one eye that can move between sockets (and wherever else) like the fates from disneys hercules

You know what gets me though about Donnie in the movie considering he didn’t have his mystic guns from the get go? When they all get their powers taken, why didn’t Donnie grab his tech bō or any of the tech that he had been solely relying on for most of the series? Like dang maybe it wouldn’t have defeated the Kraang but I imagine it would have helped 😭.

I just find it a little wack that Donnie, who used to fight exclusively with his tech would just be equally nerfed and out of his element after getting his mysticism removed compared to his brothers that almost solely relied on mystic powers.

But, I assume the reason is that they didn’t want Donnie to be advantaged like compared to his brothers in the movie, plus, they wanted the movie to be accessible to non-fans and so maybe the series-exclusive tech bō would have confused them. Also, I know Donnies tech bō (and his other tech) broke during the Shredder attack so it’s possible he never made a new one. I mean he didn’t remake Sheldon either as shown in the movie so I’m curious to what capacity he works on new tech at all after acquiring mystic powers.

In the movie, we see that he can materialize permanent objects, specifically battle shells, that are different to his temporary weapons, which glow a transparent purple compared to the solid objects.

So it’s possible that after the series, he focused his efforts on advancing his mystic abilities to catch up with his brothers, causing him to have less time to build tech. This heightened mysticism plus limited time to make tech traditionally could have made him more inclined to just will tech into existence using his powers when the situation required it. If he had been making tech using his powers and never got the chance to rebuild his old stuff, it’s possible he didn’t use traditional tech against the Kraang because he just didn’t have any available and couldn’t make more without his powers. Or at least this is what I’m gonna tell myself as a cope

Anyways I realize now that this is kind of detached from the original post, but I just keep thinking about how different the movie would be if Donnie just used his old tech.

or what actually would have happened:

Ok so many good omens enjoyers have read The Doc making its rounds on here and I want to discuss the supposed hidden significance of the eccles cakes that op mentioned:

In short, I disagree that they meant anything important for season 3 because their symbolism was shown in its entirety through the context of the two scenes they are in.

The first we see of them is in the coffee shop when Aziraphale asks for something that calms people down, then in the next scene the cakes are shown, Crowley is leaving the bookshop in a barely suppressed rage. This leads the camera to focus in on a shot centering the eccles cakes, the established option to “calm down”, and Crowley’s glasses, basically the option to leave the bookshop in anger and go blow up outside.

I really think it’s as simple as that and that their significance is confined to these two scenes. I guess it’s a little peculiar that they vanished afterwards without being eaten, but what reason would Neil have to continue fitting them in without making them seem even more important than they are? Three is a pattern after all.

the not so perfect captain

Happy Good Omens day!

I made so much fan art of them back in 2019 and found this lil thing that I still find cute.

I remember there were debates in the thread if that was a tree or an explosion. It can be whatever you want it to be 😌

I think what I love most about Crowley’s character is how poetic and cyclical his story and struggle is.

It starts with him in heaven, an angel with a deep love and reverence for God and her creations, a love that he then pours into his work to bring Her vision of the stars to life. But just as he begun his work, he is given a message from God through Aziraphale that can be effectively summed up to “nothing lasts forever”. The physical manifestations of Crowley’s passion and love will be erased in, what is to an angel, a blink of the eye. For forever God has always been the designer and Crowley, as an angel, has always been there to simply carry out Her plans. But it is here that Crowley begins to question and strain this unspoken relationship, desiring change.

So despite being warned, Crowley dares to test his relationship with God and questions the unspoken, only to be rejected and abandoned by her in the most visceral way imaginable. It was here that Crowley began his fall.

As a demon, Crowley comes to love Aziraphale and, just as he did with God, he expresses this intense love through acts of service. He takes him out to eat, he saves him, he bends at every whim to keep him happy and safe, and yet nothing is ever explicitly said. Instead they dance around each other and communicate in code, and so Crowley is left to assume.

But then just as with God, Crowley pushes his luck and says too much, asks for too much. He questions the comfortable unspoken dance they’ve been doing for centuries and asks for something more. In response, Aziraphale parrots what he had said in the very beginning, except this time it’s his own words: “nothing lasts forever”. Not the stars, not the bookshop, not love.

So despite being warned, Crowley kisses Aziraphale, posing his most desperate question. In return, he is rejected and abandoned by Aziraphale in the most visceral way imaginable.

Aziraphale’s “I forgive you” is a very loaded response, and while it rings as an attempt to call back to his and Crowley’s old unspoken routine, it also reminds me a lot of God. Crowley falls in act of sin, and while God punished Crowley, She also forgives him for being a sinner because God forgives all sin. So Aziraphale forgives Crowley because again he has sinned. Again he has fallen.

At this point we realize Crowley did not just fall, that’s past tense. Rather, Crowley is falling. He continues to love, dares to show it, and thus suffers the consequences.
