Based. I felt it was unnecessary. I'm aware it was based on the book, but still.

Oh, lighten up. Do you even Terry Pratchett, if you dislike the footnotes?

Suppose. Much like Douglas Adams or Lemony Snicket's footnotes adapted on screen.

gay

It's a pretty good adaptation of the book, but Pepper only lines about sexism and patriarchy.
Death's scene in the book sounded much better though.

Of course I like them, but they work in the book. The narrator just doesn't work in this as it makes all of the jokes too obvious. Show, don't tell. It's TV.

either feminists are incredibly dense and can't tell when they're being pandered to or it was satire. guessing the former

>It's a pretty good adaptation of the book

It's too faithful and could have done with a better screenplay that went further away from the book in places as lots of the jokes don't work and the Agnes Nutter side plot was mostly unnecessary.

>something featuring David Tennat

I'm glad I don't pay for Amazon to offer to show me this.

What's wrong with David Tennant?

I have the mightiest hardon for War

>Adam and Eve are niggers
>God is a woman
>Pestilence "retires" and is replaced by "Pollution"
>Pollution is nonbinary
>God uses "they/them" pronouns to describe Pollution, because you wouldn't want to misgender a horseman of the Apocalypse
>the children defeat the horsemen literally by virtue signalling
POZZED OMENS

They could have made it work with 4 or 5 episodes. But yeah I kind of agree, but it still was one of the rare book adaptations that worked out.
I thought all four riders were males on the book.

I'm pretty sure War is described as a woman in the book.

Literally nothing, he probably just hates Doctor Who (which I hate too).

sounds very british

I never got around to the non discworld Pratchett stuff, and I'm liking this so far.

What about the other guys work though? Based, or does he live up to his moniker of Gayman for a reason?

His work varies in quality. The Sandman comics are amazing.

My roommate left his copy of the book in the bathroom, I'd flip through it sometimes during long shits. It's a very readable book and entertaining even just reading random pages.

I only liked Death's standalone books in the Sandman universe. Mostly because goth/emo chicks make me diamonds.

Duke Hastur is very well played and is noticeably more entertaining than most other side characters.

All of the kids except Adam are TERRIBLE.

his books are very samey, if you're not a teenager you've probably out grown most if not all. the excepting is Sandman which is great, also the stardust movie is great

>not a single post about waifuing Anathema

Yeah she's cute but the best Sandman stories are the ones about individuals. I really like the one where the woman's dreams become real and she has to travel back into them. There's something that really works for me in how it mixes childhood and adulthood.

>still no Guards tv show

>Adam and Eve are niggers
before orignal sin they were basically no different than animals
>the children defeat the horsemen literally by virtue signalling
think that was in the book as well
>Pestilence "retires" and is replaced by "Pollution"
makes sense, its a bigger current threat. also i like how pollution was a chink and famine a nigger

I understand why they did it but I feel like they made too much of a thing of Aziraphale and Crowley when really the story is supposed to be It with the apocalpse. The heart of the story in the books is the kids.

Kids are like Japanese, usually impossible to make them act

>The additional horsemen like Things-That-Don't-Work-Even-After-A-Good-Thumping weren't included

Shame really since they were probably the funniest part in the book.

War could be hotter
Tennant tries too hard with walking
Archangels are too retarded
No other complaints by the end of Ep3

It's amazing how Amazon has clearly thrown a shitload of money at it and it still looks like a cheap British comedy.

The heart of the story is duality, and our choices making our own story - no written plan, no destiny. That's still there.

Literally my main disappointment was that War wasn't hot enough. I reread her introduction a lot when I was a kid. Never finished the book.

Love the titles, how is this style called? Application animation?

>nu-male urbanite faggot trash.
No thank you sir.

Just finished it
>For Terry
I got something in my eyes

probably made by british. it's like they tried to make it feel like cheap british comedy. i think there was a part where that madame starts to burp or fart whatever and it was supposed to be funny.

They really fucked up Pepper.

she was cringe, everyone except for devil and angel man was cringe

I watched EP1.

The existance of a narrator is a bad sign. I t shows that the director couldnt think of a good way to do most of the scenes without one.

The Baby swap scene should have been comedy gold.

How is it that Jack Whitehall is obnoxious as fuck as a comedian but is ok as an actor?

There really is zero benefit to the narrator. There's nothing that the narrator says that couldn't have been done visually.

I blame Neil Gaiman being too autistic about keeping it the same as the book.

Monty Pythony is the technical term

>he doesn't like Pratchett foot notes
confirmed for faggot

Again, foot notes work in a book. They don't work on television.

god she was hot. Percifal is a lucky man

I never cared about the kids in the books, they were just there for the plot to move around. The actual development came from Anathma/Percifal and Crowley/Aziraphale, or at least the enjoyable development. The Anti-Christ is a total Gary Stu so I don't think you are really supposed to feel for him

anyone got any webms? I really want one of Tennett in the church walking on coals

I think I would think this was great if it wasn't for reading the book.

I was quite young when I read it so maybe that's why it felt relevant to me. I dunno, I thought it was very relatable.

> Woman God

> Black Adam and Eve

And that's just 5 minutes in. Really just so tiresome.

Neither of those two things are a problem. The world isn't a fucking agenda, it's just you being triggered by literally everything.

>Adante and Éveniqua

Glad to see she's still getting work. I know that's hard for older actresses.

Also Tennant in the bath

I thought it was cute.

They made it too gay. They should have just been good friends.

Kinda Twee

All British TV shows are like that.

They were pretty much the same level of gay in the book though

Just tone the twee down a smidge

It wasn't quite as overt.

>The world isn't a fucking agenda

The kids are:

One black female
One white male
One gender-fluid something or nother

No agenda.

Good Omens is the best thing that either author has ever written, get on it

It's the color grading and music. The visuals aren't bad or cheap, but these things are so connected to "cheap british comedy" that your brain fills in the rest

Jon Hamm was pure comedy gold

Wasn't it? They definitely had the same chemistry in the book and I'm pretty sure they even cut some homo moments out. It's not like they made them kiss in the show. Actually I was worried they would make them touchy with each other, or make Aziraphale outright say he liked men or some shit. You can't count on subtlety anymore in anything sadly

it was better and you know it

Nah. The characters in AG were more interesting. Not Shadow of course, he's boring as fuck, but the other characters were more interesting to me.
