I don't understand people who talk about them making some beautiful sacrifice at the end of GO3. Answer me this: if it was supposed to be a beautiful and noble sacrifice, then why did they beat Crowley down so badly, the whole time, that his fucking Book of Life page was "heart broken, world broken, what's the point of anything"? Why did they take the Bentley away and make him sleep in an alley? Why did they write it so that when Aziraphale finally does show up, he doesn't even show concern for him, just asks for help (and even have Mrs Sandwich spell it out for us, in case we were too dense to notice on our own)? A sacrifice is, by definition, giving up something of value to you. Crowley had no miracles, no beloved Bentley, nowhere to go. Aziraphale had essentially abandoned him, and that whole mess was not resolved at all (although it could have been, quickly and easily, from a writing standpoint). But no. The writers very clearly wanted Crowley to be at rock fucking bottom and stay there.
Why?
It's not a sacrifice if you believe you have nothing left.
Heart broken. World broken. What's the point of anything.
Explain to me how in any universe that is a beautiful sacrifice, and not a horrifying, hopeless suicide.
What the unholy FUCK were they thinking. What were they trying to do with this. I need answers.
