So this took 2 weeks of my life xD the original idea was to make it Astarion centric, but then i saw the potential of making this about the whole main cast ^^
"I'm going to play Dark Urge, I'm going to play a Drow, I'm going to play a Half Elf Cleric of Selune-" No. I grow tired of filling Faerun with hotties and encouraging my party's fatherless behavior.
To remedy this I have made Your Dad, the ultimate 1:1 replica of the average New Jersey father to save the realm and put a stop to my party's sad, horny business.
And before you can even ask "oh what is the Guardian Your Mom or something" of fucking course she is you fool
...That these two characters are not only from the comics, but that they are supervillains, and that they're a couple in the comics, and that they've been a couple in the comics since 1990?
It's pretty wild. I didn't know either of these characters existed until this show, so I kind of assumed that the MAWS creatives were taking massive liberties with an otherwise obscure pair of characters. While they have taken liberties, that's mostly in service to these characters making sense in the very early days of the MAWS universe; it seems like they're being set up to become villains later rather than being villains now.
This is fascinating to me. Maybe it's because the Internet is so full of jabbering, entitled nitwits shouting "woke woke woke" to all and sundry whenever something comes out and doesn't feature a pair of sexy, faceless robots, but some part of my brain watched this episode and assumed that the relationship between the two was probably something made-up specifically for the show. But no. Turns out it's not, and it was a very pleasant surprise to learn that.
I'll be interested to see where these two go in future episodes and seasons, because it very much reads like they're being set up to be future supervillains with massive potential for a Jimmy-focused storyline there.
the historical flashbacks are some of my favorite scenes in season 1 and season 2 of good omens, so i was wondering if there were any time periods you’d really like to portray aziraphale and crowley in that you haven’t already???
Quite a few. Ones that we had planned as possible for Season 2 (that either didn't get written or didn't get filmed) included a Wild West one, a 15th century Papal one, an Arabian Nights one, and a 1960s American one with Crowley and Aziraphale female presenting. And we have the whole of human history as a canvas. But for now the ones you've got are all.
