I don't think the Good Omens miniseries should be placed in the same negative category as the whole Grindelwald mess. If anything, it comes off as a better example to follow. One was a post-series footnote topped off by a movie that refused to go there (feel correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't seen it), whereas the Good Omens production had a strong romantic thread running through the whole thing. By the end they read quite loud and clear as an older ace couple finally able to celebrate their freedom and ability to be in the world with the apocalypse as a backdrop and the antichrist functioning as a McGuffin.

It's not like I was wearing shipping goggles either--I watched it with my family and it seemed to work that way for everyone else in the room watching, none of whom were familiar with the text or Gaiman's statements regarding them.

Sure I'd like to see more variety in media, and I think there's plenty of room for positive male leads in sexual gay relationships--but I also don't think they should be at the expense of other positive examples of other queer relationships. As much as I feel like it started out as a good thing, and some important points were made that needed to be in the beginning, this whole argument about representation has increasingly devolved into a shitty zero-sum game where nobody gets nice things.

tbh it feels less like "a thread" and more like the main fabric of the show.

And +1000000 on the "this whole argument about representation has increasingly devolved into a shitty zero-sum game where nobody gets nice things"
