I know I'm going to get this comment a lot, but I was so happy to see Nick Offerman that I instantly thought he was playing the President and not an American Ambassador 😆 FULL/UNEDITED reactions can be found on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/chachisays You will need to sync up your own copies of the episodes to my reactions :)
Crowley and Aziraphale agreed that Crowley would influence the kid toward evil and Aziraphale would influence him to good, and then he wouldn't be evil or good, but just human, but they would still be obeying their bosses.
@@ChachiSays Yeah, it almost seems like he's working against his own goal of the child not being evil, but I guess he needed plausible deniability. I have to say, though, I think the way they're "raising" him would lead to one messed-up adult, but maybe that _is_ normal in our society.
My favourite quote from the book is this "Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide."
I love the detail about Adam and Dog. It was said that the first human Adam named all the animals. And Adam calling Dog a dog is what the first Adam did before. lol
Here's a note about pronouns in the Good Omens universe: Neil Gaiman has explained that angels and demons are "sexless unless they try very hard." In the book, when Crowley is Nanny Ashtoreth, she is referred to with female pronouns. In future episodes, she also wears an abaya (long black woman's tunic), so her pronouns then would be she/her, and when presenting as male, Crowley uses he/him pronouns. Beelzebub's, Pollution's, and Muriel's pronouns are they/them. Even though Aziraphale is canonically non-binary, he always presents as male and uses he/him pronouns. Also, God is referred to by various characters as she, he, and they. Crowley also wears a woman's hairstyle in the very first scene of season 2, based on the character June from the 1946 film A Matter of Life and Death, which is quite a strange and delightful movie.
In the book, Crowley isn’t the nanny. The nanny is the pagan goddess Ashtoreth, doing Crowley a favor. Likewise in the book, Aziraphale doesn’t pretend to be the gardener Francis - he gets St. Francis of Assisi to go work as the Dowlings’ gardener and influence Warlock to good.
Neil Gaiman disagrees with you on that one sorry. You are certainly free to have that head canon but it's not something you should push as accurate and factual trying to correct people. A simple google search brings you to Neils's personal blog, where he answered this question. "When I wrote that sequence originally, I definitely imagined that Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis were just as written. And by the same token, when Terry and I sat down in 1991 to write an outline of the film of Good Omens, we put in that Aziraphale would be playing the gardener and Crowley would be playing the nanny" @@inalasahl
@@decadeofmcfly Yes, I have read Neil’s blog and that’s what I said. In the book, the nanny is a woman named Ashtoreth & the gardener is a man named Francis, but for the TV show they had them played by Crowley & Aziraphale. That’s not the only change they made. If you’ve read the book, you know that Ashtoreth & Francis only stayed until Warlock was 6 - after which they were replaced by two tutors, who do seem to A & C in disguise.
So basically Aziraphale and Crowley are sort of on their own side. They really like the earth, so they dont want armageddon to happen. So their plan is: Crowley influences the kid to be bad and Aziraphale influences him to be good and now it looks like they're doing their jobs, but hopefully they also canel eachother out so the kid turns out normal and armagedoon doesn't happen. Of course they got the wrong boy and in the process gave a random kid a very weird childhood. Btw the book is a really gun read too
In the book. If music is in the Bentley for more than two weeks it changes to Queen. Michael Sheen and David Tennant have such chemistry and became friends they did a thing called 'Staged' with their families. Georgia Tennant is a blast on Michael's birthday she referred to him a David's other wife. Someone had changed its Wikipedia page and put Michael as a spouse. Georgia replied that he got terrible billing. Michae and Anna went to see David's play and she posted 'First time out after having a baby and still the third wheel.' They're great.
@@ChachiSays They're great actors. David (Crowley) is my favourite Doctor in Doctor Who, its 60th anniversary this year. He was terrifying in Jessica Jones. Michael was Lucien the nain werewolf in Underwold, he was in the last Twilight films. Played David Frost in Frost and Nixon, played two other real people and also a serial killer in The Prodigal Son. But Neil Gaiman brought them together. They'd never worked together before this.
Not just the Bentley, any car. "All tapes left in a car for more than a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums" It was either Terry Pratchett's or Neil Gaiman's comic explanation of why (at the time the book was being written) Queen's greatest hits was such a popular choice for driving music.
Some explanations: Crowley is a demon (fallen angel) and works for Hell as an embasador for Earth. Aziraphale has the same job but on Heaven’s side of things. They were supposed to be on opposite sides, but they became good “friends” through time, an information their respective head offices shouldn’t and don’t know. Since they’d been on Earth for so long, they both got extremely attached to it (personal reasons included), and when Armagedom came about, they couldn’t do anything too obvious to stop it as they are kinda bound to their own sides who wish for the end of the world to come about. This is because once the world ends, there will be a great war between Heaven and Hell to determine who stands on top, but this would consequentially destroy Earth, something neither Azi nor Crowley want. So they tried to find a loophole in their orders so they could obey their head offices but act on their own wishes at the same time, hoping the anti-christ would refuse his position as the Destroyer of Worlds.
It always made me a bit sad that a lot of reactors, who usually watch queer content, seem to ignore or don't know about Good Omens. So I'm quite happy that you started to watch it. Thanks for the video!
GOOD OMENS???!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!! It's so so good, it's my hyperfixation since the end of July when the second season came out, so I will be looking forward to these reactions!
Good omens in by far my favorite book/series adaptation of ALL TIME. It’s absolutely hilarious in any form it takes. I do heavily suggest you carry on the series especially considering season 2 was just released. It’s just a hilarious series! I absolutely adore Michael Sheen’s Azirapale and David Tenant’s Crowley, they do such and INCREDIBLE job throughout the series. They really do the book justice, if not bring it to a new level.
The initial part of the plot where the American diplomat's new born son is swapped for the baby anti-christ (who later had a disciple of hell as a nanny) is based on the 1976 horror film "The Omen". Of course in "The Omen" the swap goes ahead without any hitch unlike in "Good Omens".
@@ChachiSays Not to spoil. But if you at any point in the show think to yourself. Is this subtext or is it clueless straight people making something accidentally gay? No. It is gay! It is intentional. The author and actors know what they are doing.
oh this is one of my faves! i can't wait to watch you continue. also the name adam gives the dog determines his path, his personality. so if he had named him something evil or violent, that's what he would've been. but he named him dog, so that's literally all he is now. A dog!
Omg! You’re watching my absolute favorite show ever! Michael Sheen and especially David Tennant are wonderful as Aziraphale and Crowley! Crowley is the obsession of my life! I’ve never subbed so fast to a channel in my life. Please keep watching this! It’s wonderful!
omg this show is so good!! especially season 2, love the relationship between crowley and aziraphale. please continue reacting to this show, it’s so queer
Queen's music crops up a lot in this show, because of what was intended as a throw-away joke in the book (I believe written by Terry Pratchett) that ended up being one of the most remembered lines, "all tapes left in a car for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.", references to the original joke crop up several times later in the book. The book got readers to go and buy Best of Queen albums, and Queen fans bought the book. As a result of this Neil Gaiman was adamant that there should be a lot of Queen's music in the show, and Queen were quite happy for them to use it. There is more than some people notice, as incidental background music.
Terry Pratchett didn't like audiobooks, because he felt they were generally not well done, and they damaged the ability of the listener to have thier own idea of how a character sounded. From this we get the third baby's description, "The Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lord of Darkness", which reapears five times in the same chapter, possibly in an attempt to put people off from reading it for an audiobook. It's not the only time sir Terry Pratchett put a recurring, long or difficult to say phrase in one of his books, but I think it was the first.
Oh you’re gonna LOVE this series!! I love both seasons so much I can’t decide which one is better. It’s funny, witty, sweet and touches on the topic of morality in a way not many shows do. No misses in the casting, ESPECIALLY for the roles of Crowley and Aziraphale, David Tennant and Michael Sheen’s chemistry is incredible. I really hope you’re gonna continue with the series 🤍
11:02 Crowley's working with Azeraphale specifically, not the angels, the two agreed to cancel out each others influence on the kid because their sides are watching. hell and heaven would know if they were both not even talking to the kid. They're doing this because they're both weary about their own sides, and they're friends and don't really want to sabotage the others' job.
GOOD OMENS !!!! it’s so nice to see you watching the show! The books really good to lol it’s been my hyperfixation for the past month or so!!! Can’t wait to see the reaction!
this show has been among my favourites since the first season came out :D “queer themes” … i giggled. its always been canonically queer but it only becomes really obvious later on. all angels & demons are also sexless sooo it does have great trans representation (some ppl dont realise it but theres a few characters that go by they/them pronouns so maybe watch out for that). its also just really fun and sweet. a comfort show for sure
I love this - your laughter is infectious! I'm supposed to be working but instead i'm here giggling along with you! Can't wait to see you reacting to the rest of it :)
Oh yes, please keep going with this! Season 2 concentrates more on Crowley and Azirophale themselves, so can't wait for your reaction to that, but please try to avoid spoilers. It'll be hard, I know, but well worth it.
the hellhound becomes whatever you name then,, i.e. throatripper or something would make it into exactly that but since he named him Dog he became.. well a dog basically
loved the reaction! good omens is an amazing show. aziraphale and crowley's relationship is the best part of it imo, it's always very fun seeing them interact (and yes, this show is very queer)
I hope you continue to react to Good Omens. It’s my favorite show and Aziraphale is my favorite character. I absolutely love Michael Sheen’s interpretation. He’s so good. And of course Michael Sheen and David Tennant have a great chemistry.
It's never adressed and just casual, but Crowley is genderfluid, Beelzebub uses they/them pronouns, and Neil Gaiman (co- creator) has stated that -all- angels and demons are nonbinary :]
@@ChachiSays Mary Poppins 1964 Good Omens the book 1990 Mrs. Doubtfire 1993. Sure Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman could be witches who could see the American future 3 years in advance is a slim possibility. But I rather think chances are bigger that they simply used a character from their own British childhood/youth. Don't you?
I know I'm going to get this comment a lot, but I was so happy to see Nick Offerman that I instantly thought he was playing the President and not an American Ambassador 😆
