I think of our Blessed Mother she is what we should have been with out the stain of original sin. So she being our perfect example of a human was taken body and soul into heaven to be made queen
.
She was made Queen though not necessarily because she was a perfect human, but because she was the Mother of Christ. The queen for a Davidic king was his mother, Jesus was of the house of David, so therefore Mary is queen.
 
God wants angels to be angels and men to be men. Men should not want to be angels and angels should not want to be men.
C. S. Lewis somewhere wrote that some errors arise from thinking people are angels, and others from thinking people are animals. We are neither.
 
It is my belief that God made humans in his likeness and his image he also loved humans so much that he sent his son to redeem us he did not do that for fallen angels so I believe that humans are superior.
The angels have never known suffering. According to St. faustina, if angels could experience envy they would be envious of man’s suffering and the Eucharist.

It was explained to me that angels don’t have free will they are just like robots. But then how come you got fallen angels in the beginning ? And do ‘good’ angels still have free will to this day so there could be another angelic rebellion ? Or after the first one did God take their free way away?

We live in time, at least during this life. Angels “live” in eternity. Thus, our free will can lead us one way now, another way later. Angels are different. Their will is just as free, maybe more free since they had no original sin. But for them there is no Now, and Later. Changing your mind, or your will, or repentance, all require creatures to be in time. They are outside all that.

They are not robots, following, or stuck with, a decision made in the past. They are outside past and future.
