#Anti Michelle as MJ?

[mowritesstuff]

Thinking about how they took Mary Jane’s complex character and reduced her to a black liberal (tm) who became the butt of the joke every time she mentioned something about systemic discrimination/challenges in the us.

They really made her a prop and changed her name to distance her away from the original MJ character? Why? Probably cuz she was Black.

This is how I know the world does not know what true love is because ppl exactly watches the new Spider-Man(Tom Holland) and thinks Peter Parker & MJ is in love. Omggg Tom Holland and Zendaya doesn’t have any type of romantic chemistry I mean it! I don’t no how they even a couple in real life it’s horrible watching them. It’s soo stiff I hate his version of Peter Parker. I can’t watch his movies they make me sleepy. Is that why ppl think Sydney & Carmy are in love because they used to see stiff corny couples for years now they think that’s love. Smh I hate it.

the study session | 𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪

𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪

prompt; You and Peter have a "study session" for your upcoming test.

warnings: kissing, or making out if you will, it gets a lil handsy, but nothing TOO suggestive (ifykwim)

word count: 4k 

a/n: not proofread

You were very glad it was Saturday, but also very sad because you wished for nothing more than it to be that day of the week forever.

You see, the thing is you had an extremely difficult test coming up Monday, and you didn't try at all this week to study for it. The deadline was getting closer and the study guide your teacher had gave you might as well had been in a different language because you didn't understand a thing on the paper no matter how many times you pretended to.

So instead of completely giving up, crying, and accepting your fate Thursday, you asked the smartest boy in school to help you. 

Peter Parker, aka your sort of friend, and your longtime crush.

He was a friend of your sister, Michelle and he'd come over once in awhile to hang out with her. You'd occasionally hang out with them as well whenever you weren't reading, sleeping, or being an anti-social person.

With all those months and what not of Peter coming over, you two getting to know each other, you decided it was best to ask him for the help, plus you really enjoyed his presence.

Michelle pretty much knew from the start, before you even did that you liked him and she would sometimes tease you about it whenever she could, which made you annoyed at times, but you knew she didn't mean it.

The two latter people were currently hanging out, and your sister texted you saying that her and Peter were making their way back from wherever they were and that Peter would be here in time for your study session.

You had the house to yourself for the time being, since your dad was at work and you were glad because it meant you got to eat your self-made dinner in your bedroom.

The dinner was a simple microwavable noodles cup and some apple juice that probably was MJ's, but she drunk yours the last time so you pretty much didn't care if she got mad or not.

You were now sitting on your bed, laptop in-front of you as YouTube played in the background. 

The day was moving slow as you waited in boredom, sitting and eating on your bed. You wanted nothing more for your sister and friend to hurry up so you could study.

After a thirty minute marathon of watching random videos, you laying comfortably in your bed, the cup of noodles now on your nightstand, you hear the front door open, muffled voices entering the abode.

Normally, you'd go check out the noise, but you knew the two familiar voices all too well, plus you were way too comfortable at the moment.

Your room was dark, the curtains closed and the only source of light given was the glare of the laptop screen and the hallway light sneaking under the crack of your door, but that dim of light didn't last longer since your sister bursts into your room, startling you.

"Jesus." You breath out, quickly sitting up from your bed.

"Sorry." MJ sheepishly apologized, showing you a not so sorry smile.

"There's food in the kitchen, also Peter's waiting for you in the living room." Your sister tells you, running a hand through her already curly hair.

You two didn't really look alike. She had more defined features, and you didn't, her hair being more curly than yours. On occasions yours would be curly too, but unfortunately it was more wavy, not that there was anything wrong with that. You never really compared yourself to her considering you two were exactly alike, personality wise. MJ never had a reason to make you feel jealous of her either, she always included you in anything if you were up to it. She also never had a reason to feel jealous of you, so you were really glad you had that special bond with her.

MJ knew all your secrets, you knew all hers, so if you needed a shoulder to cry on, you know who yo go to.

"I already ate, and you can tell him to come in here instead." You tell her, pausing the YouTube video as you reached for the cup of noodles on your nightstand before gesturing it for her to take it.

"No way. I'm not your maid and no boys in your bedroom." MJ stated, giving you a firm look.

"How come he's allowed in yours?" You ask with a pout, getting up from your bed in defeat.

"Because, I'm not the one with a crush on him." She tells you, showing you a smile.

You roll your eyes, shoving her out the way as you make your way to the kitchen to throw away your mess.

"Hey Peter." You greet him, walking past the living room as you made your way into the kitchen.

Since your apartment was small, the kitchen was right next to the living room, well not really, it was more like one of those apartments that had the open counter space that could see into the living room, but nevertheless you could still enter the kitchen through the living room without having to go through doors, or down some stairs.

"Hi, Y/N." You hear the brown haired boy greet back.

When you throw away your cup of noodles and put the silver utensil in the sink, you exit the kitchen and make your way into the living room, sitting on the small couch, where Peter currently resided on.

"You ready to help me study?" You question, watching the boy for a few seconds before turning your gaze to the TV. It was the news, the anchor talking about the robbery that took place and how your Queens' hero, Spider-Man managed to stop it once again.

"Um, uh, yeah!" Peter stammered, putting the TV on mute.

"Okay, we can study in my room, since all my stuff is in there anyhow." You tell him, standing up just as quickly as you sat down, before holding your hand out to help him up.

He took your hand, and you didn't fail to notice how sweaty it was, but you decide not to say anything as you two make your way into your bedroom.

You let go of his hand, hearing the door quietly close behind you as you go over to your desk area and grab the pre calculus papers before handing them to Peter, who now sat on your bed.

"Pre calculus?" Peter asked, a little bewildered.

"Mhm." You hum, taking a seat next to him, his body heat radiating off him and onto your skin.

You watch as Peter clenches his jaw, the same jaw that could cut diamonds, as his eyes study over the review and you wanted to just kiss him, but it took every fibre in your body not to.

"This seems doable, and easy." Peter says, turning his head to look at you with his brown eyes.

Those eyes always made you melt into a puddle, and yes they're such a common eye colour to have, but Peter's seemed more full of life, innocent and brighter. You know Peter doesn't have the most happy go live, and neither do you, but when you stare into those eyes that you swear gets brighter everyday, you forget about how messed up the world truly is. 

"Y/N?" A voice questioned with concern.

You blink out of your trance, before properly looking at the boy next to you.

"Oh, sorry, what did you say?" You ask with a little embarrassment.

"I asked if you were ready to start reviewing, but if you need some time, I can wait." Peter states, showing an understanding smile.

As if you needed a break. The only thing you needed was him, and his smile.

"Oh, no it's fine, I'm ready." You lied, retorting his smile, but yours was a little less more understanding.

"You sure?" He quizzed again.

This time, you nod.

"Okay." Peter sighs, letting his gaze linger on the paper in his hands.

-----

After what seemed like the longest review ever, you and Peter decide to take a break, a snack break to be exact.

MJ was no where to be found, probably in her room lost in one of her many books, so you and Peter just decided to raid the snacks before she could notice.

"Have you ever had hickory sticks?" You question, examining the potato sticks bag curiously.

"Hickory what?" Peter asks, with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Hickory sticks." You repeat, turning around to show him the Canadian snack.

The snack isn't sold in America, but when you, your sister and dad decided to take a family vacation to Toronto, Canada, you made sure to be the most tourist person there and bought pretty much anything you could afford, including the hickory sticks.

"Where'd you find those?" He questioned, making his way over to you with a confused expression.

"I bought like three or four bags of these when we went to Canada." You inform him with a shrug, handing him the bag so he can take a look.

Peter hums out a reply, intently looking over the bag.

"Y/N, these are expired." He tells you, before handing the snack back to you.

"What? No, it's not." You argue, before looking for the expire date.

And he was right, they were expired. They've been expired for about two weeks now.

"Oh..." You say in defeat, putting the bag on the counter.

"We could just make a sandwich." Peter suggests, putting a reassuring hand on your shoulder.

Sure, the touch was simple, but it sent a whole blazing fire throughout your body, your heart beat quickened, and you prayed to god that Peter couldn't hear how loud it was.

You had always thought about telling him how you felt, but the timing just never was right, plus you were sure he didn't feel the same way since he showed no signs of ever seeing you more than just his friend's sister.

You nod at his suggestion and before you knew it, you two were making sandwiches.

-----

After snack time, you made your way back int your room to study some more, which you dreaded, because studying is never fun, but somehow Peter makes it better.

"You know, it's not really that hard." Peter tries to reassure, the two of you now laying on your tummies, on your bed.

"Says the math expert." You grumble, not understanding how to do inverse functions.

"C'mon, Y/N. I promise, it's easy." He tries to encourage.

"It's not." You argue, looking at him with a frustrated expression.

"Who needs inverse functions to be a writer anyway?!" You exclaim and it does nothing but make Peter chuckle.

"All you have to do is switch the x and y variables in the function, right?" Peter tells you, looking over your face with such intent you could almost die at his gaze.

"Then, solve for y, like we've been doing." He finishes quietly.

You nod, watching as he flickered his eyes from yours to your lips, you doing the same.

"Was that even english?" You ask, not understanding a single thing he said. Mainly because, yeah you actually didn't understand it and also because of the way he was staring at you.

"I hope so." Peter whispered, his eyes now fully focused on your lips for whatever reason that may be, but you weren't complaining.

"Well, if it was I still don't understand." You say, breaking the tension, letting out a noise you hope was a chuckle, but probably not.

"What if we just take a break? We've been studying for what, like two hours?" Peter suggested, sitting up from his laying position, you doing the same.

You agreed on his suggestion, despite the two of you already taking a break, but that was more like a snack break not a break break where the two of you just talked about anything you could talk about.

"So, you should try out for decathlon." Peter says with a smile, sitting across from you now.

"Why?" You question him, raising an eyebrow.

You were genuinely curious as to why Peter would suggest you join the decathlon team considering he never attends those meetings and the club is never really lucky when it comes to going on trips, such as the Washington D.C incident MJ had explained to you in full detail since the news wasn't really any help.

"Despite math being one of the main major subjects, I think you'd be a great addition to the team." He countered, nodding his head, which you found quite adorable.

"Did MJ put you up to this?" You quiz him, narrowing your eyes at him suspiciously.

MJ was known for being the quiet and observant type of girl (hence, where you got half you personality from), and she's so observant that she never fails to notice every small and different detail of anyone's behaviour. It's something you picked up on growing up with her, so when Peter suggested you joining the team, you noticed the waver of his voice and how nervous it sounded when asking you.

Your sister also always bugged you about joining the team since it lacked most members, and now that she was the captain, you really had it the hard way with her.

"What? No, I really think you should join." Peter argued, shaking his head as if it'll change your suspicion.

It didn't convince you, because Peter wasn't really as engaged with the team like he used to be, so it made it that much more obvious MJ had asked him to try and convince you to join.

"Prove it." You state, eyes intently boring into his.

Even if Peter somehow did find a way to "convince" you, you probably would still say no, since you had no interest in it anyhow. 

"Prove what?" He asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"That these are your own words, and not hers." You explained.

Peter lets out a sigh in defeat, causing you to chuckle in victory. Before you could open your mouth with an "I told you so" quip, the boy leans forward, his hands sneaking their way to both sides of your head, giving you a quick chaste kiss.

To say confusion was the emotion you felt would be an understatement. Why had Peter just did that? You had no clue, which left your cheeks a blushing mess, mouth slightly agape.

"You..." You started, about to tell him what he just did, but he cuts you off.

"Listen, before you yell at me, or anything much more violent than that, I just need you to know that your sister didn't put me up to convincing you to join the team." Peter starts off.

"I actually think you would make a great team member, even though you're not a people person." He continued, and you were once again about to say something, but he wasn't finished just yet.

"I know that me kissing you had nothing to do with wanting you on the team, but I just really like you..." Peter finally finished (at least you hope so), looking at you with a sheepish smile, fiddling with his hands nervously.

Your eyes widen, practically almost out of their sockets at his confession. Peter liked you? Or, likes you. Never in a million years would you had thought the boy would ever admit something like that. You had always thought it'd be you, and then you'd get shut down because you knew Peter could never see you as more than just a friend, but right now you were beaming with happiness at his disclosure.

"I-, you, really?" You ask, not being able to form a proper sentence, a smile breaking out on your face uncontrollably, probably making you look a little weird.

"Well, yeah. What's not to like? You're funny, smart and like really...pretty." Peter says, mumbling the last word at the end, which you did hear.

"So being really pretty makes me likeable?" You jokingly questioned, furrowing your eyebrows in confusion.

Peter eyes goes really wide, making you have to fight back a laugh as he eagerly shakes his head.

"No, I mean like, you know, you-" Peter stuttered, having a really hard time trying to explain himself.

You obviously felt bad, but it was something so funny about seeing the boy get flustered at your joke.

"I'm kidding." You tell him with a laugh.

"You're really pretty too." You retort, watching his mouth turn upward into a smile, the kind of smile that made his eyes crinkle.

"Yeah?" He asked, his smile soften as you nodded.

"Mhm, also funny and smart as well." You add with your own smile that never really left your face.

You two stare at each other for god knows how long, kind of enjoying the sweet, comfortable aura you always felt when around each-other.

You thought back to how at first you thought Peter could never see you more than just his friend's little sister, but maybe he was really good at hiding things, well sort of.

"Can I kiss you again?" Peter quietly asks, his eyes slowly trailing from yours to your lips.

You eagerly nodded, how could you say no to that?

Peter once again leans toward you this time putting one hand on one side of your face as the other held his weight on your clothed thigh, you on the other hand had put both hands securely on his shoulders, before both your lips finally met.

It was like a euphoric feeling, the taste of his lips being intoxicating. It was the type of taste that was flavoured like honey, but not just basic sweet honey, honey mixed with tea. Yeah, he definitely had the sweet and unique type of lips.

You two continue to explore each others mouth, trying to mould out the taste of it, Peter shifting you two into a much more comfortable position, you now laying on your back as Peter now hovered over you, his hand now cupping your jaw, while his arm held your waist. You now had one of your hands on the nape of his neck, playing with his small curls as the other was flat on his chest that you were certain was a little more toned than you imagined.

You weren't really experienced in the kissing department, and you couldn't say neither was Peter, because he and your sister had shared that they were each-other's first kiss and it didn't bother you at the time, considering you barely knew him when MJ had told you.

MJ also made it clear to you when she somehow found out that you liked him that she never once had a crush on him and also explained that she just wanted someone, anyone really to be her first kiss.

And you were glad Peter was yours, he was extremely good at what he was doing.

As if he could hear your thoughts, he removed his lips from yours, causing you to open your eyes, only to be greeted with his.

"You're really good at that." Peter whispers, his eyes never leaving yours.

You hum, smiling at his words just as he gives your cheek a peck.

"Ditto." You breathe out, closing your eyes as Peter continues leaving pecks all over your face.

Then, he leaves a trail of pecks down your right cheek, slowly gliding his jabbed kisses to your neck.

You let out a keened noise at how his lips touched the sensitive spot of your neck and you couldn't help but think of how he really was good at what he was doing, he didn't even have to try.

"Peter.." You managed, sighing in content as Peter continued kissing or sucking on areas of your neck, probably leaving marks as he did.

The brown haired boy hums out a response, his sneaky fingers playing with the hem of your shirt, teasing his way to your bare hip.

His lips detach from your neck, eyes examining yours, while his fingers slightly tickle your hip.

"You're really good at that." You retort Peter's words from earlier, staring at him with a smile before pecking his lips.

You try to pull away but his lips chase yours into yet another kiss, it quickly turning into another make out session, or at least a semi-one.

You hear your sister clear her throat, causing you and the boy above, scramble from the position you once were in.

MJ looks in-between the both of you, watching as you two calm down from your hot and heavy breathing, the flustered faces turning even more red at the extent of being caught.

"Is this how you losers study?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at the both of you.

"It-, we were just..." You tried to lie, but there obviously was no point in doing so.

"Whatever, just don't let dad find out." MJ waved off, closing your door but only leaves it open about two or three inches wide.

You can see through the crack of your door that your sister goes back toward the way of her room, relieved she didn't hit you with any third degree threats, or even scolded Peter for making out with her little sister, which now that you think about it, she probably didn't want to have that image in her head, which is why she left it alone.

You then run a hand through your hair, turning your head to look at a still flustered Peter.

"You okay?" You ask him, watching the boy nod as soon as he hears the question.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He reassures, looking at you with a small smile.

Now that it was clear you both really liked each other, you wondered if maybe he'd ask you on a date, or if you would have to.

"So, um...now what?" Peter asks the question you were thinking, scratching his cheek nervously.

You shrug your response, thinking about nothing, really.

There was a moment of silence, the two of you both just sitting there and thinking, you thinking about the previous make out session and god knows what Peter was thinking about. 

"Would it be okay if I, umm.." Peter starts, looking down at his hands that were slightly shaking, probably due to his nervousness that you could practically feel radiating off him.

"I don't know, like asked you...on a date?" He finished unsurely, and you could swear you felt your heart do a somersault.

"Yeah, that's fine." You say, taking a hold of one of his hands, seeing Peter beam at you with a excited grin.

"Really?" He exclaimed happily as you giggle at his cheery face.

"Yeah." You say again, sort of biting the bottom of your lip as you smiled.

"Okay, cool." Peter nodded as he went over the many possible ideas of where to take you out on a date.

You thought now was the perfect time to ask.

"Are you gonna swing us on our first date or is it going to be a normal one?" You questioned, watching Peter look at you in confusion and fear.

You figured that would be his reaction, looking at you as if you had three heads, and wondering how on earth did you know about his secret identify.

It didn't take a genius to figure it out. You started to notice how weird he acted in school, plus the observed conversations you had with MJ about how he quit most of the after school activities or curriculums he was in.

There was much more to it, but that was a whole other story for another time.

"Wha-, swing? I don't know what you're talking about." Peter tried to laugh off, looking at you as if you were the crazy one.

"You know, use your webs from your suit to swing us anywhere." You explained, making hand gestures to demonstrate.

"Y/N, I have no idea what you're talking about." Peter argued, shaking his head to try and wave off the topic.

"Okay, so you're telling me you don't sneak off every now and then to be a hero to Queens?" You ask him, raising an eyebrow.

"No."

"So, you leaving at the most inconvenient times is just a coincidence?"

"Yes."

"Peter."

"What?"

"Just admit that you're the spider boy." You say, sighing and calling him the wrong name on purpose.

"Hey! It's Spider-Man, not boy." Peter defended, unknowingly proving your point.

"And why so defensive?" You ask, folding your arms over your chest.

"I-" He starts, before looking down in defeat.

"I'll pick you up at eight." Peter sighed, getting up from the bed to what you assume is to stretch.

"Good, now let's finish studying." You suggested.

"Studying or studying?" The boy smirked, causing you to roll your eyes at his tone.

"Peter."

"Fine."

[thaneoftas96]

Ugh, any fic that has MJ liking or respecting Tony is an automatic no from me frankly, and i see far to many of them. There is no way that any version of MJ that is worth the name, whether she is Michelle Jones or Mary Jane, would be in favour of the billionaire war profiteer who is acting as the public face of one of the worst violations of civil rights in modern US history, all the while flagrantly violating the laws that he is championing.

Just read a fic where Michelle Jones actually applauded Tony Stark’s “genius” and I don’t think I’ve ever read a so out-of-character moment than what that author wrote.

[starmaniamania]

In case you missed it - Starmania 2022 - Acte 1

ACT 2

There are many little details and references in the 2022 version/staging of Starmania that I noticed over the many many times I was able to see it (some obvious, some not) so I thought I'd try to make a complete list and see if 1) you also spotted them or 2) you spotted other things!

This will be in 2 parts because it'll be too long for one post. I'll put a link to the other part once it's done! (TUMBLR DON'T YOU DARE EAT THIS AGAIN)

It'll also be interesting to have a record and be able to compare if anything maybe changes during the second season come November!

Ouverture

Obviously the empty white grand piano is a tribute to Michel Berger

In season 1, dancer Matys Kaibo was sitting at the piano at the beginning and pretending to play it; the sound actually came from the live pianist (in Paris) or the soundtrack (on tour).

Some of the male dancers who represent Monopolis inhabitants are wearing skirts

The person who runs across the stage is usually Jeanne Jerosme (the maid) unless she's playing Stella that day. Her maid costume is actually the same costume with a little white collar added.

Monopolis

If you're sitting smack in the middle, the shoulder/sleeve details + wig that Cristal is wearing make her silhouette look like a golden star (ok, you have to squint a bit lol)

The placement of the characters in the structure reflect their position in Monopolis society: Marie-Jeanne and Ziggy at the bottom, Stella and the Gourou higher (but with Stella going down), and Zéro at the very top. Cristal is moving through the levels, and Johnny and Sadia are absent (probably because they're supposed to be outcasts?)

Quand on arrive en ville

The first of Johnny's victims spits out "blood" (but I think it's water) onto the stage when she gets hit; the second one has a blood stain around the collar.

Some of the Etoiles Noires are smoking electronic cigarettes, you can see a red "cherry" as well as smoke

Not really a staging detail, more of a goof, but I will never not laugh at the Etoiles Noire dragging in the 2nd victim while also carrying a cinder block under his arm, but when Johnny grabs the block it becomes the Heaviest Object on Earth. Poor little Johnny skipped arms day!

Johnny's jacket has a long rectangular outside pocket on the left breast which he can use to tuck his mic into; his t-shirt has a little bit of chain hanging at the front like a necklace, except it's sewn into the neckline. (He's got the same thing in his final black costume).

Petite musique terrienne/Johnny & Sadia/La complainte

The sound effect and lighting after "Quand on arrive" evoke an elevator going down into the underground parts of the city

The Undeground Café has an Etoiles Noires aesthetic moodboard/collage, featuring punk and anti-nuclear imagery, a picture of Zero Janvier with his eyes scratched out and a target around his head, and the current casts' "good luck" motto: "Ahhhh merde!"

Whoever isn't playing Zero Janvier that day (David or Aurel) sits at the Café's piano (an upright one, not the grand piano from the beginning) and pretends to play throughout most of that scene

Stella is sitting at a table (incognito, she's wearing a big black coat and sunglasses and sometimes a scarf on her head) drinking ("Moi ma drogue c'est l'alcool"); she makes a discreet exist once the Etoiles Noires show up.

Sadia is having a blue drink at the bar

When the Etoiles Noires show up, Johnny jumps up to sit on the bar next to Sadia and usually interacts with Marie-Jeanne (at least when it's Côme) either by grabbing a bottle out of her hand and drinking from it/dumping it on his head, or by touching MJ in some way (on the face; I saw him kiss her hand once), cementing the fact that they know each other quite well.

Sadia kicks a glass with her foot during her initial pitch to Johnny; the glass is almost always picked up by a helpful Etoile Noire rather than by Marie-Jeanne :p

Johnny stops the Etoiles Noires from going after Sadia when she starts addressing him, miming things like "Let it go, she's crazy." When she says "Si tu me suis tu seras quelqu'un" though, you can see him physically start paying attention.

At the end of their duet moment, Sadia runs a hand down his arm/front, suggesting that she's trying to seduce him and not just ideologically.

Travesti

Obviously, the double-wig reveal of the "chevelure d'un bleu azur" under the initial black wig with a blue streak

A bunch of extra Etoiles Noires show up for the "line-up" moment (the singers like Jeanne for example) and then disappear again to leave the floor clear for dancers and their acrobatics

During the line-up moment, the Etoile Noire who's propping up Sadia's leg also runs his hand up her thigh (she bats it away occasionally). Meanwhile Johnny is cocking his huge, hard machine gun at hip level in a very subtle way, and then he leans in towards her and nuzzles her neck/ear.

Btw only Côme wears the long black mafioso coat that hides his gun at the beginning; as far as I know William always wears the "Quand on arrive en ville" jacket for some reason.

Sadia used to wear flesh-colored shorts under the blue underwear; then this changed to a pair of thick opaque tights, at least when Ambriel is playing her, so you don't see her thigh tattoos as much. (I think Miriam wears them sometimes but not always.)

The Jaguar is a REAL car which REALLY DRIVES onto the stage, but with a very small modified electric engine which obviously cannot go very fast lol

Sadia's gun is blue too, that girl does like matching her accessories

Johnny always smells the white fur coat before putting it on (to the point that it had a pretty visible foundation stain on the lapels) -- generally speaking the Etoiles Noires smell people a lot lol

An Etoile Noire graffities the words "Stone" and some stars on the car every night during the number

Another Etoile Noire is seen "grinding" the car with an electric tool in the background to show that they're gutting it (for the next numbers where the roof has gone) but it's actually just a button that makes sparks. She then dumps the tool into the back of the car -- there's no windshields

Il se passe quelque chose à Monopolis

Obviously the "going up the stairs" metaphor symbolizes Zéro Janvier trying to rise to the top

On the sentence "et ses buildings de verre qui filtrent la lumière" the backlighting of the stairs gets this really cool filtering effect, always one of my fave moments

Thomas Jolly mentioned in a podcast that he'd moved this song after Travesti and given it to Zéro to make the link more obvious between Sadia's violence with the Etoiles Noires and Zéro's quest for power. The song does take on a very sinister vibe when he's singing it!

Mass médias

The lyrics were changed from "ma cravate rouge ou ma cravate bleue" to "ma veste noire ou ma veste bleue" because this Zéro does not wear a tie, red or otherwise

The newspaper that Zéro is reading has Stella on the front page as well a few easter eggs, like picture of Berger and Plamondon, an ad for Naziland and an ad for a florist on the back (as well as the weather for France lol)

On the inside I think you can make out more pics of Berger and Plamondon, and I *think* a picture of the show by Dorfmann and the silhouette of the Seine Musicale??

Starmania Starmania

This is obvious but it took me embarrassingly long to realize because you can't see them depending on where you're seated, and they're sometimes fully in the dark -- there are 3 "backup singers" at the back of the stage on the left, doing vocals and a little choreography!

Cristal doesn't have her mic with her up in the air as she comes down from the rafters, a dancer brings it to her while two others unfasten her (she's suspended at the hips by a harness worn under the dress)

The light periodically draws black stars behind her, which engulf the entire stage at the end

L'interview de Zéro Janvier/Le blues du businessman/Jingle de Cristal

Pretty straightforward staging-wise. The Blues was going to be Zéro standing on top of the tower at some point, and then they realized it was too static and came up with the lighting thing.

Un garçon pas comme les autres

The little stage that Marie-Jeanne sits on is being pushed by a crouching tech, who then sits behind it during the whole song. If you're sitting at a certain angle you can see them, which I always find weirdly moving.

Ziggy is apparently waiting inside the stairs during the song; that must be where the elevator is, that pushes him to the top in time to start his "oops, didn't mean to overhear that" exit attempt. (As far as I know, it's the first time in the various productions that we know Ziggy has heard the song, which does interesting things to the Ziggy/MJ dynamic!)

Le coup de téléphone/Enfant de la pollution/Coup de téléphone 2

When Johnny and Sadia show up at the top of the stairs, Johnny is wearing the fur coat from Travesti (but that wasn't always the case!)

The Etoiles Noires often bother Marie-Jeanne behind her bar. Ziggy doesn't seem too intimidated -- I've seen him snap Etoile Noire!William's mask onto his eyes for example.

The phone that Sadia uses used to be black, now it's silver.

The Etoile Noire who operates the phone (Max Carpentier usually) stashes his weapon in a little pocket hung in the alcove of the Underground Café, where he brings the phone case back before becoming a Threatening Etoile Noire(TM) again for the interview

Of course, France Gall's voice is the one answering the phone ("Pour un scoop c'est un scoop...") we all know that now!

Interview de Johnny Rockfort/Banlieue Nord/Coup de foudre

When Cristal shows up at the Underground Café, she gets harrassed a bit by the Etoiles Noires obviously; a lot of it involves smelling her hair for some reason lol

If you're there on a Saturday afternoon (William and Gabrielle as Johnny and Cristal), you can sometimes spot Etoiles Noires!Côme and Lilya flirting in the background of that scene :p

Johnny does not have his own mic for this scene; he shares Cristal's at the beginning (apparently stemming from an incident during rehearsals in which someone dropped their mic, and they had to make do with one between two people) and then grabs hers to sing Banlieue Nord (she doesn't have one again until Coup de Foudre)

Obviously the live/recorded thing: the recording is live until Johnny and Cristal leave the stage, at which point it switches to pre-recorded footage with live sound from the wings. As far as I know, this is the only pre-recorded footage/live audio moment; other pre-recorded video moments all also have pre-recorded audio.

The footage was recorded in the bowels of the Nice venue they used for rehearsals. There are 4 alternates to cover every permutation of the two characters, with some small variations, for example in the Gabrielle/Côme version I think Gabrielle doesn't fall down at the end the way Lilya does (and according to my notes, Côme's jumpsuit has a big sweat stain down the back lol)

Thomas Jolly makes a cameo as an Etoile Noire in each of the versions I've seen (Côme/Lilya, Côme/Gabrielle and William/Gabrielle) just at the end of the tunnels part. In the Côme/Gabrielle version, Côme pats him on the stomach as they pass him.

Besoin d'amour

Once Cristal has stepped up onto the car and it's rotated, the dancers create a "diversion" a the front of the stage while she gets changed standing on the car hood. She gives Johnny her mic to ditch into the backseat of the car so she can get dressed. Her boiler suit unzips at the ankles so she can step into it while wearing her heels (although it doesn't always work, I've seen it go wrong at least twice lol).

And that's it for Part 1! :p Do let me know if you've got anything else or if I forgot anything or if you have any questions! In case you haven't noticed, I love talking about Starmania lololol

I agree with your last anon that Timmy STANS are the reason I will NEVER support him. His fandom & Z fans get personal with their attacks on Tom which is why I CAN'T support either of them. Her STANS already sent me death threats on twitter because I said that I'm not a fan of Michelle Jones & preferred Mary Jane Watson. It wasn't even shade towards her it was me expressing how I wished Peter was dating Mary Jane in the MCU instead of Michelle. That's why I'm wary of Z fans who say they like Tom

Wow... Okay, first of all, I'm sorry you're getting death threats online. That's just crazy, number one. Stanning someone should NEVER be that serious (imo) 🥴

Second, I'll say the same thing I said to another Anon: You HAVE to separate the Timmy and Zendaya stans from them (the actors) themselves. The actors are NOT their fans.

Just like you can't help who likes you, or who crushes on you, neither can these actors or celebrities! 🤷🏾‍♀️

You'll always have some weirdos in just about EVERY single fandom. That's just a given lol. But the actors themselves do not represent their fans. Unless these celebrities are encouraging their fans to behave this way, they do NOT need to be punished just because SOME in their fandoms are weird.

Tom has had some crazies in his fandom as well.... especially those who have been antis for years, and hate on Zendaya just because she's dating him. 🤷🏾‍♀️ But I'm still a fan of Tom's regardless.

Even Z's stans can be overly zealous at times. Thankfully, I've been able to separate the outlier weirdo fans from the actor that I support. It's not always easy, but it CAN be done.

Now on to this comment here:

Her STANS already sent me death threats on twitter because I said that I'm not a fan of Michelle Jones & preferred Mary Jane Watson. It wasn't even shade towards her it was me expressing how I wished Peter was dating Mary Jane in the MCU instead of Michelle. That's why I'm wary of Z fans who say they like Tom

Now, just out of curiosity Anon, why aren't you a fan of Michelle Jones, and why do you prefer that Peter dates Mary Jane Watson (who we've already seen in 3 films in earlier Spiderman franchises), when THAT MJ is not part of this Marvel Cinematic Universe? 🤔

According to NWH, MJ's FULL name is Michelle Jones Watson.... 👀 So, technically, I think the point they were trying to make is that she IS the "MJ" of this MCU's Spiderman, so get used to it.

Why do we need to see a story recreated all over again with a Mary Jane when we've already seen it all before? 🥴 I actually prefer how DIFFERENT this MJ is to everything we've ever known before. It allows a little more creative license w/the character imo.

I'm just curious about your reasoning that's all. 🤷🏾‍♀️ And did you feel the same way about Andrew's Spiderman who dated Gwen in his films?? Were you STILL preferring them to showcase Andrew's Peter dating Mary Jane Watson.... again? Just curious... 🤔

You know what? I just now realized it might be a tad problematic if I only complain about the studios creating Michelle Jones and trying to sell us that she is actually supposed to be a MJ representation, except different in everything from her character to her fucking name.

So I'm going to complain about how they turned Flash Thompson, a jerk jock with a alcoholic and abusive father who constantly bullied Peter due to his presupposes scrawny appearance and shit, and who later started idolizing spider-man, which ultimately helped him deal with his issues and traumas so he could grow up and become a better person, culminating in him joining the armed forces and losing his legs while trying to save people while in the army, into a random snobby elitist boy genius academic rival honor student half Peter's size for no other reason than "nerds and jocks dynamics are overrated."

That was also bad. Not as equally bad as botching Mary Jane's character since back then the Spider-Man Comics was still in the hands of number two hack Dan Slott, and we really needed marvel to throw us a fucking bone, but still pretty bad.

IM SEEING PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET UPHOLDING THE MCU'S LITTLE GASLIGHTING TRICK!

You're still trying to tell me a character named Mi*chelle J*nes Watson that doesn't have a personality or any kind of agency outside of her boyfriend is the MCU's Mary Jane? And that she is somehow better than Rami's Mary Jane just because she is portrayed by a former Disney star/ model? A character with a different name is still a replacement character! It's still racist because it is still denying a woman of color an iconic part!

I won't stan unless they do MAJOR character rewrites that also involve her indisputably being Mary Jane. Right now I see her more as a comic accurate Gwen Stacey.

Did I like her a little better in this? Yes. Is she still poorly written? YES!

You all can't gaslight me! Either make her Mary Jane or give the part to another woman of color!

Save your breath, it's not up for debate.

i will probably be making a lot of piper fitzpatrick-murdock posts, so here's some examples of how she's different from her original source, mcu peter parker

peter: male -- scientists' daughter -- daughter of adults -- orphaned 1.5 times -- not too violent -- polite and stuttery -- love interest: mj -- would probably screech if he ever met frank castle -- tony stark fan

piper: female -- daredevil's daughter -- daughter of teen parents -- only half-orphaned -- much more violent -- polite but also very snarky -- love interest: decidedly not mj, but we'll get to that later -- good friends with frank castle and tried to bail him out of jail once -- would punch tony stark if given the chance. might do it anyway

[barbara-gordons-glasses]

I’m so tired of saying I don’t like Michelle Jones’s character in the mcu Spider-Man trilogy and then being accused of being racist. 😭 like ma’am I don’t like Michelle because her character development is little to none, and her sudden personality switch from brooding and idgaf attitude to the shy and kind Mary Jane Watson they tried to make her be felt like whiplash.
