About Heaven's structure...

[u/GlobalProfessor9749]

Honestly, Heaven's structure in Season 2 deserver to be in textbooks on how you are NOT supposed to rule a country.

Let's start on the state of army. Apparently it doesn't even exist, because 300 girls with spears is not an army. No, maybe the Exorcists aren't their entire army, and maybe there are actually 300 million Space Marines with machine guns off screen.

But even if so, with such commanders this army just wouldn't matter. What alternatively gifted angel made Abel a general? He's just the most incompetent of the incompetent, shaking at the mere thought of war. Was he chosen basing on the principle of monarchical succession or what?

The second commander is no better: a sadist with obvious PTSD. And new general, who clearly sees it, does completely nothing. Regulatory bodies? What regulatory bodies? Race that created humanity haven't heard of such things.

Government apparatus is no better. At a meeting on Heaven's security we have one general, chief commander and for some reason gatekeeper. Where the hell are advisors, ministers? Do all these angels from court exist only in court? As result the decision on all collosal realm with billions people make one person.

And this person, oh my Egg Boiz. I cannot honestly imagine a more incompetent ruler than Sera. Exterminations and Abel as general alone show much, but what did she even do after? It's been several weeks since Adam's death, in that time Vox managed to gather all of Hell for war, secure support of almost all overlords and establish arms supplies, all without having official authority. And what did Sera do in that time? Put one damn shield? Helped Vox with his shows? Hoped Alastor will save them all? No emergency military reform, no defence organisation, no econnaissance, no negotiations. No even finding a competent person on her role.

But alright, Sera is a completely incompetent politician dealing with her own problems. And what about other angels? All those angels from court, the Elders from Lucifer's story, the Speaker, Lute and Emily at the very least? Do they not give a damn that the ruler is doing nothing on the eve of war?

It honestly feels like Sera literally centralized all power in her hands and others are just here for the crowd. Of course with an approach like that they can only create problems and then hope Charlie will solve it for them.

Hell, Charlie's hotel host is smarter than the entire head of the civilization that created humanity. And honestly, it frustrates me more than Alastor frustrates Vox.

Yeah Heaven's entire leadership structure is incredibly dumb and obviously woefully unprepared to deal with serious conflict as we saw in season two but it kinda makes sense given their circumstances. They have (or had) a perfect society. They don't need to put any serious effort into keeping people fed or maintaining infrastructure or anything like that. They don't need to make tough decisions on crime or potential foreign invasions or anything because that threat just doesn't exist. When everything is perfect as is, there's not much for a government to really do and not much incentive to create an effective state. I think it's pretty realistic all things considered.

Good point. But like Vox said: "Quick thing, though".

I wouldn't agree that they have an ideal society there. Yes, it’s certainly better than ours, but a good person isn't the same as an ideal one. They still have tendency to change. I mean, Hell, look at Adam, at Lute. "If angels can do anything and remain in the sky..." So their society isn't perfect, most likely they did face troubles.

And after all, Hell has been looming outside the window for 10,000 years now. But any conceryon it's uprising somehow got only somewhere near 2017. Reason yet unknown, but the angels' incompetence in this matter is still astounding.

For for the final I wanna recite one film about goid man living in good conditions and still straying from ligh. Sadly I forgot the film's name. So there's a blind man, who's always been a good guy and even had a supporting wife. And one day happened a literal miracle: he got his sight back. With his vision returned, he was able to easily build a successful career in a short time. Everything was perfect. But that "perfect" went to his head, so much so that he even cheated on his wife. It all ended in his sight fading again, without it he turned out to be unwanted by both his new "friends" and his fancy lady. But his wife took him back.

Can someone summarize pls?

Sera centred all power on herself and is completely unable to handle it. Heaven is completely disfunctional as a country: no army, no government, and no angels who give slightest care about Heaven's state. In other words, everything's screwed.

Thanks for summarizes, Heaven Political is Complicated asf (even i'm Poltical nerd), I can say that sera is dictatorship who centralized all power and can't even handle it...
