Archangels are notoriously grubby, at least in popular lit and film. Michael, for example. And the angel in Constantine. Angels in The Prophecy movies.
While not being a huge Travolta fan, I did love the reaction his Michael had to "Battle!"
I think in Western culture we've become too used to sweet, pretty, passive, feminine angels, or cute baby cherubs. Angels, as I recall, while not masculine as such, are stern, powerful, forbidding, frightening in countenance. I would not be happy with a placid angel, nor a cuddly one.

The Metatron in Dogma was not the most kempt (or pleasant) of creatures.
(I have such an unholy love for that movie. I also really liked Michael, while also not being a Travolta fan.)

Yep. Angels, and especially archangels, are not necessarily
nice
creatures.
(The mention of Constantine reminded me: when Castiel walked into view, with the shirt, tie, and tan trenchcoat, I exclaimed "Of course! John Constantine saved Dean!")
By the by, sent to me by my critique partner, she who is obsessed and can't quite figure out why I'm not.
He has a big ole crush on me
As for that "crush," this is not Photoshopped. It actually appeared onscreen. Now, whether somebody paid for it is another question.
Take that, omens of cancellation!
Wow! That's despite not having the Chicago or Houston markets!
Well, it's supposed to go
down
once they get the Chicago markets because those numbers include people who were watching the game.
