One reason the books in the Millennium series following the original trilogy don’t work for me is because I don’t feel like David Lagercrantz hates misogynists and fascists enough.
He very well may really hate them but it doesn’t come through in his writing the way it did with Larsson.
Stieg Larsson’s loathing was so explicit and so immense that I knew more than anything he really really despised misogynists and fascists. And the sequels lack that. They get bogged down in techno thriller and lame Marvel references and making Lisbeth a more palatable heroine, which misses the point for me.
Lisbeth is rage manifest: against a misogynistic and fascist society, its systems and institutions. She does the work she wants. She follows a rigid moral code of her own. She dresses how she wants. Goes where she wants. Associates with who she wants. Fucks who she wants. And if people don’t like that she dresses like a goth, hangs out with communists, is bisexual, is an abrasive unfriendly unsmiling woman, and punishes those who deserve it, well that’s too bad. She is rebellion against misogynistic conventions and expectations. She exists despite the fascists in her own government. And she hates them all. She is a storm Larsson set loose on his fictional but very real enemies. She is the embodiment of his hatred, made manifest to destroy and seek retribution in fiction in ways women like her rarely get to in real life.
I don’t get that from the other books. They’re too interested in the cyber aspects and too plot focused. They’re conventional thrillers and that’s where they fail. I didn’t want a conventional thriller with the characters from the Millennium trilogy because they lacks the soul. The beating heart of Millennium. It’s about justice—a righteous and furious justice, a kind of wish fulfilment in which women best their abusers and defy misogyny, and our heroes defeat fascists within their neoliberal governments.
Lagercrantz likely did what was asked of him. He wrote a thriller continuing the stories of these characters. You can’t fault him for that especially with the rising popularity of the series. He met the brief. It’s broader and the rougher edges filed off. In that way they were successful. But in doing so they lacked the character and tone of the originals. You could hear Larsson screaming Fuck You to misogynists and fascists on every page, just as abrasive and blunt as Lisbeth. That’s missing. And it’s a shame.

yes, Muppet x Knives Out crossover, but may I submit for consideration: Knives Out x Girl with the Dragon Tattoo crossover
Daniel Craig stars opposite himself as Benoit Blanc & Mikael Blomkvist, who both show up to solve the same murder. they get off on the wrong foot & keep their cards close to their chests bc they can’t rule each other out as suspects. they keep stepping on each other’s toes as they cross paths & accidentally impede each other’s investigations under midpoint twist, when they finally team up

No thoughts but I wish Stieg Larsson could have lived longer.

Would Mikael Blomkvist from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium series) be an avatar of Lonely?

I edited together some of my favourite moments in ‘The Making of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’!! video credit to @ channeliv5780 on Youtube (they have uploaded the full bts documentary it’s really cool btw)
#tw mentions of rape#this took me WAY TOO LONG to edit togther#but i’m glad that i have some of my fav moments compiled#featuring the infamous ‘perverts’ clip#but everyone cuts Fincher’s laugh out of the end of that clip which i think is a crime so i left it in#sorry for any misspellings in the captions btw!#david fincher#rooney mara#the girl with the dragon tattoo#daniel craig#tgwtdt#behind the scenes#lisbeth salander#mikael blomkvist
