possibly unpopular opinion

I really don't like the fact that Crowley is emotionally abusive to his plants. I know that it's played for laughs and it's not really that deep but I don't see how he can be so upset by suffering at other times e.g. the flood and then be so horrible to his plants.

That's a fair enough response. I always loved that moment in the book -- that Crowley can understand humans so well in some ways, and totally misunderstand human trends in other ways -- but onscreen, you really feel how emotionally unhealthy it is.

Mind you, Crowley isn't a good being, not really. He makes the best of being a demon and doesn't outright eat people, but he takes a definite satisfaction in making everyone's lives that little bit worse.

yh he is a demon and therefore not good by definition. Honestly i tend to write off alot of Crowley's demonic activity as just being work (though as you said he does take satisfaction in it) but he's not yelling at his plants in the name of hell. It's a more personal thing and we don't see that side of him that often.
