They don't ask for any guarantees. They don't even really ask for anything specific besides no god, Crowley just idly hopes that free-will might be a thing. They don't even press for humans to be included as part of the deal. You can't tell me that a silver tongued devil and a bastard angel who makes mobsters regret their life choices and tax men weep didn't have any thoughts at all on making sure they weren't getting fucked over in the deal they were giving their actual lives to make?

Best and second best angel my ass. Get that shit away from me. This finale comes across like it was written by heinous emotionally stunted spoiled men trying to convince their mom to love them. Like it did its best to erase everyone’s past and gaslight the viewer into believing the opposite of what the book and s1/some of s2 portrayed. It’s just so unbelievably frustrating that this best angel rhetoric was ever introduced and that it achieves nothing but the sanitation of the both of them and the destruction of the scaffolding of who they’ve always been

But I'm also mad that Anathema got killed after spending her life in hope of stopping the Armageddon that was foretold.

I'm mad that Adam who of his own free will decided to reject his Satan father never reached adulthood.

I'm mad that Pepper never got to fight for feminism and be a mother as she expected.

I'm mad because yes, there should have been another kiss, why does my favourite love story have only one that's painful?

I'm mad that Maggie and Nina and Max and their partner and Mr Brown and his hopeless crush got evaporated for no reason.

I'm mad because Gabriel owed Aziraphale help and proper thanks.

I'm mad because Muriel deserved to learn and not be shown as a brainless puppet who is dim and cheerful but cannot grasp what is really going on.

I'm mad because not one character in my favourite series got a happy ending apart from the main villain who got exactly what they wanted. And some strangers seemed happy too. Which is nice for them I suppose.

I'm mad because Dagon deserved to climb out of Hell and go, you know what, forget Heaven's stupid offices, I'm off to Tau Ceti e to check out the fumes I've heard of.

I'm mad because Aziraphale deserved a hug and thanks for everything he did and how he held off Second Coming.

I'm mad because Crowley deserved to actually be free of the sides he despised for so long.

I'm mad because Agnes Nutter didn't die so the Earth would evaporate 7 years after her book came to a close.

I'm mad because Eric deserved to become the chameleon acting face of generation suspected of being Dorian Gray.

I'm mad because Joshua deserved to confront his mother over a sacrifice that brought so much suffering into the world.

I'm mad because Metatron owed us an explanation.

I'm mad because that final scene was so stupid and painful and the set up looked so good.

I'm mad because they made Michael into a suicidal fundametalist.

I'm mad because GO3 lost all the whimsy and satire.

Stories are built into the DNA of the human species for many complicated reasons, and challenging oneself intellectually by embracing depressive nonsense because negative emotion can sometimes amount to a useful thought exercise is absolutely not the only worthwhile function of stories.

Sometimes, the tragic ending is just the uncreative one, the cheap one that uses shock to yank on jaded people's heartstrings. In many cases, it would take a lot more skill, creativity, and resourcefulness to write an earned happy ending.

It just started feeling kinda weird to me that the longer TV Omens kept going, it felt like the whole Starmaker and Alpha Centauri gradually got more and more focus and by some point it started feeling like it was subsuming other important aspects of his personality?

Especially in GO3, which seemed to conclude that all of his positive traits were a result of him being ‘an artist’ as a Starmaker, and then the one personality trait Professor Anthony shares with Crowley, the one thing that’s supposed to immediately tell us he's a reincarnation or some sort of Cosmic Echo, is the fact that they both love Star stuff. Nothing else was needed apparently.

It would seem the most obvious option, the one that immediately came to Aziraphale's mind, was Michael. But no, he chose the most unreliable and untrustworthy angel among the Supremes of heaven, the one who breathed fire in their faces and went against the "Great Plan." Both Aziraphale and Metatron understand that this is a foolish decision from a strategic standpoint.

This is why Aziraphale is so tense and scared - he doesn’t understand what’s going on in Metatron’s head, what he wants from him and what he has planned.

And that, as far as I'm concerned, is the BIGGEST and DUMBEST plot hole in the entire movie, which makes absolutely everything that happens make absolutely no sense. I have no idea if Metatron's motives were explained in the original script (obviously, in a full-fledged third season, he would likely be the antagonist or something like that, at least not the most likable character), but if so, they somehow cut this out of EVERYTHING that could have been cut.

This fact alone makes the film completely unworkable from a scripted point of view.
