The war will end, and leaders will shake hands. That old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son. And those children will keep waiting for their hero father. I don't know who sold our homeland, but I saw who paid the price.

— Mahmoud Darwish

the selective amnesia of marvel writers when it comes to major comic events makes me so insane. not only has tony been on a team with miles (all-new, all-different avengers, 2015), and has been a mentor figure to him since he crossed over from the ultimates universe (ultimate end, 2015), they somehow conveniently forgot that tony stark died in civil war II to protect miles. MILES. the kid he’s calling “newbie” and is somehow not one of his top favorite spider-people.

why is tony treating miles like they’ve never met when he went to war against carol and was punched into a coma to protect miles from being arrested for a crime he didn’t commit???? like mama let’s research before we start writing these comics

anyway yeah miles is one of tony stark’s favourite spider-people in the multiverse HE WAS WILLING TO DIE TO PROTECT HIM

Motif of Aziraphale mourning the 'death' of angel Crowley? Maybe? Referring to angel Crowley (or perhaps demons in general) as the scapegoat here? But Crowley kind of already IS a scapegoat- the serpent of Eden is usually blamed for showing mankind how to use their free will, ultimately leading them to sin, and is cursed by God to "crawl" and "eat dust" and be viewed as evil. An act that caused a schism between God and Man, which is specifically what Jesus dies to atone for. To finally "redeem" us from allowing the serpent to lead us astray. The Second Coming leads to Jesus bringing us back to paradise, after the serpent got us cast out. It comes full circle.

And it also makes me think about how Mary's role Mediatrix of All Graces is in the sense that the Grace of God/Jesus is bestowed on others through Mary. Like. There's a lot going on here.

hi anon!!!✨ this is so beautifully summarised, thank you!!! really interesting reference to crowley's role in original sin, because whilst on one hand you could argue that he was somewhat complicit in original sin, and even said, "they just said 'get up there and make some trouble..'" (suggesting that he knew there would be some kind of fallout), on the other, does that 'crime' befit the blame placed on him for it?

and consider the same about crowley's fall; i do think crowley, in some measure, did something wrong, and i think this is highlighted by his presumed questioning despite aziraphale cautioning against it - in his musing that if he himself were running things, he'd like it if people pitched in. certainly, we as the audience do not see this as condemnable, but aziraphale definitely seems to think there is danger in going down that path - and it would appear that crowley may defy god in doing this... but then again:

was it truly god that passed the sentence?

was crowley again condemned for a crime far greater than this own?

full circle indeed. and as for aziraphale; well, yeah.

Interesting on Lucan's part to make the guy who named himself Pius do necromancy.
