I've gotten very into Good Omens lately so I decided to make this little appreciation video for Eric the demon as he is quite iconic in my opinion and deserves more love :) I hope you enjoy! #goodomens #goodomens2
I love the little visual joke that Furfur promises Shax a "legion" of a hundred demons (quickly amended to seventy demons), but even in the biggest ominously-looming-out-of-the-mist scenes, we can clearly see that Shax doesn't have more than about forty demons. Supply issues, evidently. XD
I assumed Eric was meant to be a send-up of the demon/s who calls itself/themselves "Legion" in The Bible - not a singular demon, but a collective group that acts symbiotically or as a hive mind.
Ted Danson plays the character Michael on The Good Place, but Ted Danson is not in Good Omens. The Michael in Good Omens is played by Doon Mackichan. The Michaels in each show are different and the Michael from the Good Place doesn't represent the archangel Michael from the Bible (the one from Good Omens does though)
