#I know the script is terrible

[godmademeinmspaint]

Going to say this now even though I barely post here::::: Adaptations are never meant to be a 1:1 recreation of the original source material. The goal is never to recreate the exact same experience in a different format, the whole point of remaking something in a different format is to make something new.

I don’t understand why people are out here acting like the new Netflix ATLA walked onscreen, shot the original with a 44 and declared itself the new ATLA. I’m not saying you can’t criticise anything about it or any other adaptation, I just think a lot of people need to remember that an adaptation that gives you the same experience and explores the exact same themes and doesn’t elaborate on or look at things in different angles would be utterly pointless.

Honestly think what’s devastating about Ken snapping at Tom for the ‘you sound a little unhinged’ line was that I never would’ve expected that reaction cause that wasn’t even the worst thing Tom’s said to shiv, even just that day. You kinda forget it’s all happening behind closed doors cause we, the audience, see it all, so for Ken to lose his shit at him over it is just like … a reality check ig

The repeated motif of “You were so close.” In regards to Peter and Harry really gets me, man. Sighs SIGHS something about the loss, of no longer having a relationship with a person who was SO important to you. Something about the what ifs. If Peter had been less scared, if Harry had been more patient. If Norman hadn’t sent him away in the first place. If things had gone just a little differently would they still be in each other’s lives? They were so close. SIGHS

THEY WERE SO CLOSE...

i feel legitimately angry about the pjo tv show. rick makes a huge show of how book accurate it’s going to be and then gives us that? he exploited the trust his fans had in him and our love for this series and we got something that only vaguely resembles the story we know. sure, it was never going to be a verbatim retelling, but you’re telling me the series we got is “book accurate”? i just don’t understand what happened between the huge campaign that happened to get disney to develop a good adaptation of the story to now.

from the writers room...that sounds very promising.....

!! Nice!

[blessyouhawkeye]

they're making a movie about the night of the very first snl episode, directed by the guy who did juno and starring rachel sennott, gabriel labelle, lamorne morris, cory michael smith, and dylan o'brien. this will either be the greatest or worst movie ever made and it will depend entirely on the screenplay.

Matthew MacFayden’s Darcy is a fascinating thing to unpack because I don’t believe it succeeds as a performance of Darcy or even as a performance in general (it kind of can't) but there are layers to it and it's not simple.

This rewatch has made me realise that it's not just Morse who put Thursday on a pedestal. On one hand the audience is a little more aware of his flaws than Morse is, sure, but I at the very least was right with him that Thursday 'has ever been the best and wisest of men' when in fact his violence is there in black-and-white from the start.

This is far from the only example but I just rewatched Colours and I keep thinking of what it means for a child -- a child who was raised in a loving home, mind -- to be afraid to tell his dad that kids were roughing him up at school because he was frightened of what his father would do to them. Like, damn.

Anyway did you hear that the new Harry Potter game has a trans woman in it? I know, shocker.

Her name's Sirona Ryan.

In between her name probably being specifically chosen for people to call her 'Sir Ryan', I look at it and think, 'Oh. Sirona. Like sirens. Like the creatures in Greek mythology that lured people to their deaths with falsities. Implying danger. Implying lies. Implying that this character isn't a real woman. Couple that with the last name. 'Ryan'. Which is an actual last name, granted. But seems so weird as a name to give to a trans woman. Since the name is also a first name. And is typically associated with men. And Rowling is a TERF. Implying invalidation towards her as a trans woman. Huh. Interesting.'

By the way, from a cursory Google search, 'Sirona' comes from Celtic mythology as a name that one of the goddesses use, but come on. Are we really going to believe that she did the research on that? That it was intentional? Sheesh.
