One peculiar theory centering around Crowley has been gaining more and more traction in the Good Omens fandom, but to no avail — Neil Gaiman himself has just dashed people’s hopes.Ever since Good Omens debuted in 2019, the audience has been adamant that Crowley, played by David Tennant, and the fallen archangel Lucifer are the same person in the series’ canon. However, Gaiman, the creator of the show and the co-author of the original 1990 novel, has recently debunked this claim in a Tumblr post, saying that in the show (and the book) Satan used to be Lucifer back in their angelic days. “Satan in Good Omens used to be Lucifer when Satan was an angel. Crowley wasn’t Lucifer. (Is this a new fan theory I missed?),” wrote the showrunner.Gaiman even provided curious fans with a bulletproof argument in support of his denial of the theory. In Good Omens Season 1, while Crowley is drowning his Aziraphale-related sorrows in a pub, he talks about hanging out with the wrong crowd, specifically with “Lucifer and the guys.” The author added, “And he’s obviously not suddenly talking about himself randomly in the third person while inebriated in a conversation in which he’s complaining about the choices that led him to that pub and two bottles of Talisker…” However, Gaiman doesn’t mind fans coming up with their own headcanons, so he blessed them to “write all the Crowley is secretly Lucifer fictions [they] like.”RELATED: Good Omens: Why Some Actors Returned in Different Roles for Season 2
