Angels as I understand it, are static creatures. They can never be more than they were created to be. Thus Satan's jealousy of Adam. Mankind can become the children of God, so the difference in like between an heir and a servant. That is the essence of "City of Angels." If fact, the movie makes more sense with that in mind.

Yes, they were never in need of a Savior so never needed redemption. Nor can get it, if Satan and his followers are to be cast into the pit.

You know I hadn't connected the two. I did see in it an old quote from somewhere, I think it's a jewish saying, "The angels envy us because we have a story."
