    When aziraphale gets all sad about the "loose the gut" line, it's not because he was being "body" shamed per se, but because the angels and demons CHOOSE their corporeal form, and Azi CHOSE to be huggable and pleasant because thats how HE SEES HIMSELF!!

      True. And with choosing that he's not fulfilling Heaven's expectations of how a Principality like him (a leader among warrior-protector angels) should be: among other things, a *shreded* killing machine. Unluckily for them, Aziraphale is too much of an hedonist to care.

      @kanti1356 Hard agree! I like the look of femme!Aziraphale, but he's such a creature of habit. I think of him as someone who climbed into his corporation, went "Oh I like this one", and just stuck with it. Especially considering he likes his clothes tailored, he has a social circle, etc., it's just always made sense to me that he'd be the one to be less fluid, gender-wise (compared to Crowley, who is always changing with what's fashionable with the times and what he likes and who mainly seems to keep to himself). I've seen people get upset over that headcanon, like we're calling Aziraphale less non-binary, but I just think he likes how he presents himself and is less inclined to change it up. You know?

    The original book states that angels and demons are sexless unless they consciously make an effort (fun fact: because of that line "effort" is a common euphemism for genitals in this fandom XD). Both Aziraphale and Crowley seem to use "he/him" but only Aziraphale is consistently male-presenting.
    It is still unknown why Crowley fell but I'm pretty sure we should be careful just believing his version of the story ;)

    • @NankitaBR
      @NankitaBR 6 місяців тому

      Yeah, that's why in the book when Crowley becomes a nanny he literally turns into a woman and why he has to clarify that he didn't " *deliver* , deliver" the baby antichrist, he just handed it over (because he could technically turn into a woman and deliver a baby)

    • @rafaelmarkos4489
      @rafaelmarkos4489 6 місяців тому +5

      I think the 'sauntered vaguely downwards' line expresses the emotional truth we need to know, even if it doesn't give the exact details of how and why - Crowley became a demon because his path went away from that of the angels, and that was the only category that fit him back then. As humans grow, and his experiences grow, he becomes less and less of a demon and a unique being of his own, alongside Aziraphale who is on a similar parallel journey.

  • @seileach67
    @seileach67 6 місяців тому +39

    12:49 The reason that Shadwell is focused on the number of nipples people have is because an old belief stated that a witch manifested a "witch's mark" on their body where the devil(or a demonic familiar assigned to the witch by the devil) would draw nourishment as part of the demonic contract that gave the witch powers. Sometimes it was an unusually large or unusually-shaped mole or birthmark; sometimes it was an actual extra nipple that some people are born with irl. The "mark" was also supposed to not feel pain, so the pin Shadwell mentions was used to prick the suspected witch all over and if any place didn't produce the expected pain response, that place might be considered the "witch's mark".

      But Crowley _saunters_ around. Completely different walk. It's uncanny.

    Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman both focused on the love of people when they made Good Omens, so I find a lot of us fans try hard to be the same. Welcome! We're really glad you're having a great time.
    You're noticing something really vital about both authors' literary ideologies, especially Pratchett. He was *super* aware of every rotten, horrible thing people did in the world, but also believed that individuals could do the right thing in the right ways. Very much "Sure, people choose to do the wrong thing most of the time, but isn't it amazing when they choose to do the RIGHT one?"

    A great episode. The next two are my favourite and yes we watched the last three back to back- it really gets you invested. On a personal note, when the series started I was all for team dark broody Crowley.. but as the series progressed I realised that actually I’m only projecting onto Crowley -and it was our little soft marshmallow Aziraphale who absolutely stole my heart.

  • @lynnj9721

    Listen. When I read this book in the dark ages, (1996? 97?) it had a DISTINCT Terry Pratchett feel. The bookshop had me on edge and actively agitated. When I watched the next episode and I tell you I WEPT, went back to the book, reread the source material and it was shot by shot nearly word for word, but the VIBES.
    Someone hurt Neil Gaiman and he turned around and hurt us.
    He is Not. Even. Sorry.

    Glad to see the fandom's treating you well, we're rather well known as an inclusive and friendly bunch :) Good Omens is a perfect blend of Terry Pratchett's and Neil Gaiman's styles and I'm pretty sure most fans of one are also fans of the other.
    Something that was pointed out to me by my other mother when she watched the show was that Azirephale, the "good" angel, is shown going along with whatever horrible things his side says to do even if he's unhappy about it while Crowley, the "bad" angel, is the one who keeps saying "hey, this isn't right" and standing up for the humans

    • @letolethe3344
      @letolethe3344 6 місяців тому +2

      "Shown going along with whatever horrible things his side says to do...." What? I have to disagree. In the first week of Creation, Aziraphale gave away a flaming sword to the humans and then risked lying about it to God, who could have made him Fall, just to protect them. He spends episode after episode in season 1 trying to get the apocalypse called off to save humanity, and, while he makes a few mistakes in season 2, he spends most of it humans like Job's children and Maggie (forgiving the rent) and, again, preventing another destructive celestial war.

    The reason the Witchfinder Sergeant is obsessed with how many nipples someone has is because one of the many signs that someone is a witch--according to witchfinders--is that they posess the so-called "mark of the beast." This can be a mole or an extra nipple. If you poke it with a needle and they feel no pain, then they're a witch.

    Are you unfamiliar with Atlantis? I apologize if this is unnecessary, but Atlantis was initially a fictional Island told about by Plato in the times of ancient Greece. Atlantis was an arrogant nation with a massive navy, but after they failed to conquer Athens, they lost favor with the gods and the island was sunk beneath the sea. The legend of Atlantis has popped up in numerous places throughout literature, even in DC Comic books (as Atlantis is where Aquaman is king) not to mention a really great song by Donovan! :)

  • @ilunaker1032
    @ilunaker1032 6 місяців тому +3

    So glad you are enjoying this! A couple things to expand:
    - Heaven as such doesn't have a direct line with Hell (just look at Gabriel's confused face when talking about 'back channels'), *Michael* does. And as far as we know, she's the only one. Ligur is one of her contacts down there but not the only one.
    Personally, I find Michael one of the most interesting characters in the show by far (and the most underrated one). She not only very clearly has her own agenda, but when you pay attention to her she acts in a very different way from the all the rest of the angels we meet. She's probably the wildest card of all the characters in the series, and I'm *eager* to see her in S3!
    - Crowley's fall is still a mistery. But a thing most people don't know/forget is that Neil Gaiman himself has said that Crowley is an unreliable narrator when talking about this issue.
    - Now that he's coming into his power as AntiChrist, Adam's will is absolute: what he wants/believes/dreams, comes true.

    So the nipple thing is because it was believed that one way you could identify a witch is that they would have an extra nipple that they would suckle the devil (or their demonic/fae familiar, depending on time/region) at.

    I love how much stuff is in the prophecies:
    Newt's car is called a Reliant Robin, hence the Robin's blue chariot
    Aching his head for willow fine - the bark of the willow tree has a chemical compound similar to aspirin, cause he got hurt in the car crash and needed painkillers 😁
    And another fun fact is that in the book Pestilence retired after the discovery of penicillin, iirc 😁
    I can never get over how indignant Aziraphale gets when Shadwell says he's been seducing women 🤣🤣🤣 And then that Fuck is just the most perfect delivery 🤣🤣🤣
    I always love when someone is so enthusiastic about a show I love so much, can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of Good omens 😊

    I love the trick Crowley pulls on Hastur. It so reminds me of the 10th Doctor. (In case you're unaware, David Tennant as the 10th Doctor is one of the best and most popular Doctors in Doctor Who.) He also pulls another similar tactic in season 2. Well, a different one, but it was very Doctor-y in my opinion.

  • @letolethe3344

    The Metatron is an angel that in legend acts as the voice of God--because for humans to hear God's voice directly would hurt them as it's supposedly too powerful for human ears to stand. So in this episode Aziraphale's basically talking to God's PR guy.

    I love the fact that Aziraphale always chooses to to dig his heels in and *protect* humanity because that was his very first job. He guarded the first humans both in the Garden of Eden and then gifted them an extension of himself to protect them once they were exiled. He knows that humanity is the priority, and that faithful stubbornness such a great aspect of his character.

    In the witch hunts, accused witches could be strip searched and checked for a third nipple. A skin tag (something we would have removed by a dermatologist and biopsied now) would count as a third nipple.

    The book this is based on was jointly written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Terry sadly passed years before the show was made, but if you're familiar with his style you can definitely see his contributions to this story

    12:40 - Historically, witch hunters believed that witches had a third nipple that a familiar demon could use to drink blood from. In practice any sort of wart or even scuff would pass for "evidence" when a witchfinder wanted to find it. Shadwell, who sincerely believes in everything written about witches, takes it more literally.
