I saw some po masters say that the "Good Omens" TV series has nothing to watch except for selling rot, and even some people think that the ending of "Good Omens" (hereinafter referred to as GO) is broken, and that the ending of GO is anticlimactic and similar to the unfinished end of Game of Thrones. . Out of my love for this work and its original novel, I would like to share some of my thoughts.
First of all, let's talk about the problem of selling corruption. Crowley and Aziraphle were originally the protagonists and the leaders of the main line, so the story must revolve around their 6,000-year revolutionary friendship, and the three elements of angels and demons + dual male protagonists + BBC are also destined to be unavoidable. But outside of CP, the show has a complete mainline revolving around the Antichrist. The jokes also reflect various real issues such as racial discrimination, divinity criticism, education and religious metaphors, not to mention that such as the "Apocalypse Four Drivers" that keep pace with the times and reflect the present, but are incompatible with traditional religions Culturally compatible settings. Of course, if you watch a TV series and expect to learn from the past and the present, then I'm sorry, film and television works may not be suitable for you.
The second is the setting of the ending. Not to mention the good and bad endings of GO, but in fact these two works are not the same type at all. You have to compare Game of Thrones and GO, and think that the way GO saves the world and solves problems is absurd, bizarre, and even full of comedy Color, it's like someone said that "Vampire Life" is good-looking, but you have to come out and say "Only Love Forever" is the traditional vampire's way of life, looking for the wrong point of contrast. Although the two may have similar backgrounds in a sense, they are also advancing for a Hongdae goal of saving the world, but Game of Thrones itself is an epic work, and GO's positioning is more inclined to black humor comedy (the TV series has deleted a lot due to zzzq. more poignant social irony). Therefore, for the serious Game of Thrones, the illogical ending is undoubtedly a failure, but the ending of GO is just anti-traditional, and there are also foreshadowing in its logical works. For a work like GO that is full of absurd colors In a sense, this is not only not a minus item, but also a plus item that strengthens the style of the work in a sense.
