Dr. Phosphorus is almost contradictory to himself in a way I find notable.

Assuring Nina with, “I know you can do this, kid.” A term of endearment slipping in, fitting an interaction between a once-father and a young woman who’s spent the overwhelming majority of her adult life locked away and isolated in prison.

Perhaps too endearing, as he quickly undercuts it with “Did it sound like I gave a shit?”

When Weasel jeopardizes the mission, he grabs him in anger, yelling, “You stupid rat!”

But he doesn’t actually try to hurt Weasel. He only got burned once he sunk his teeth too deep into Phosphorus.

Then there’s this scene, where this obviously just him joking around, right? Just him being his sardonic self.

But then later, he seems genuinely offended that Flag is angry with him. That Flag should have taken his actions as a favor between ‘friends’. As if he’s actually a little desperate to be liked by the man he was fighting with not that long ago.

(I mean, as a smaller example, his interactions with Nosferata jump from him insulting her to playing freaking ping pong with her)

Then there’s his recurring dynamic with Bride. Despite the ‘I’m a killer who doesn’t care about anything’ idea of himself he pushes, Phosphorus continuously tries to interact with her. Making remarks for her to find amusing, remaking on their bleak situation for her to join in on. It’s like he saw the first person in so long to really acknowledge him in anything close to a meaningful way (“Are you smiling?” “Yes!” “Sarcastically?” “Mm-hm.”) and decided he wasn’t going to let that high just go away.

Even after the mission failed, he tries to push himself as the annoyed, angered man. Angered at Weasel, angered at Nina’s death, angered at their efforts all being for nothing.

But then he’s the only person to comfort Bride in her mourning.

I think these conflicting traits, the outward expression versus the sincerity that slips through, are most well shown during Wonderlust King. Still in the wake of his family’s death (not that it ever ended for him), during his era as a crime boss, he tries to satiate the sadness in himself.

He dances in the Ice Lounge, a display of his power and his wealth for all its attendees to bear.

But then misses dancing with his wife at their wedding, a display of their love for all gathered to behold.

He tries to gain satisfaction through inflicting violence onto others.

But then only misses the love he shared with Parvin.

He tries to fill the hole in his heart with riches.

But it’s meaningless in comparison.

Dr. Phosphorus thought Alex Sartorius died the night he was born, I feel, but despite his own best wishes, he’s still there, the loving man who only wanted to help people he once was.

ppl not realizing that the show was saying, explicitly, that Rick Flag Sr. and Eric Frankenstien are the Same Kinda Asshole in big neon letters for the entire runtime? Like what was confusing? shit talking his ex wife to the younger woman he wants to fuck? calling his boss by her first name? dismissing themysciraas a concept? talking down to a professor of themyscira? Calling the bride a 'damsel in distress' and then bartering access to her with her stalker in exchange for saving his facist sex kitten? He and eric are both nonchalantly axed and then excluded from the final conflict? we dont even see him or eric waking up in the finale because they dont fucking matter they just represent entitlement over women in different forms???

The man didn't go a single scene without somehow broadcasting how little respect he has for women and y'all like 'Daddy!' 😍😍😍😍

Nina and Dr. Phosphorus’ stories feel like inverses of each other. The two human-born of the group. The scientist father who had to watch his child die at the hands of criminals because he was trying to do the right thing versus vs the daughter of a scientist who had watch her father die at the hands of police because she was trying to do the same. Then, in their grief, Phosphorus only knew how to continue hurting people while Nina always tried to continue being kind. How Phosphorus’s mutation symbolized the ending of his old life while Nina’s meant the true beginning of hers

My hope for the future for the Planet of the Apes films (and other media) is that they finally say 'to hell with it' in regards to what they think the audiences expect. I don't care if it's a tried and true formula; enough with the violent gorillas (with tragic King Kong deaths), enough with the wise-old-man orangutans, enough with the bonobos who act and sound just like chimpanzees because they assume audiences don't know what a bonobo is.

I'm not saying all apes are going to have completely realistic behaviours because at the end of the day, it's a fantasy alternate universe world made for blockbuster movies. (And lets be honest, some ape behaviour is just not gonna fly in American movies meant for a PG-13 audience).

But even though so much care and effort has been made to incorporate more accurate ape behaviour in the more recent films (mainly with the chimpanzees), they keep falling back into tired old concepts with other types of apes. And after Kingdom, they have an amazing opportunity to explore how other types of apes have adapted and built communities, how other ape social behaviour would shape their communities.

And they'll probably end up centring Chimps again, but I desperately hope we'll at least get a glimpse into other communities of apes (that aren't just evil for evils sake).

Me at the start of war: “THE MOVIE JUST STARTED AND HIS FAMILY IS ALREADY DEAD WHAT THE FUCK?!”.

Me at end of war: “…so you’re telling me that after all that suffering he’s not even going to raise his last son?…lead the apes he fought so hard to protect?…i must be a masochist that’s the only way to explain why i like this trilogy…”.

Hercules is the most visually creative of the Disney Reneissance films. If not any Disney film ever.

The three Fates sharing an eye.

Hades’ flaming hair. 

The various designs of the mythological monsters and titans.

The diverse faces and body types of all the minor characters.

It’s a very visually engaging movie.
