Todays been awful so fuck it, IT fandom unpopular opinions! (And they're actually unpopular for once!).

-As much as I hate to say this, I think getting mad at people for not liking Mike Hanlon is shifting the blame from who's really at fault for this and that's Andi Muschietti. Yeah it sucks that Mike is always forgotten by this fandom but this fandom is dominated of fans of the movie and the movie and book are totally different. If some 13 year old has only seen the IT movies I don't blame them for not caring about Mike because he got dicked over by Andi's racial bias. And don't say "well they should watch the mini series or book to appreciate him then" as if being in a fandom is supposed to require homework. A lot of people only like IT 2017 and that's fine, and they're not less of a fan for that. It's okay to not like certain members of the losers, as long as your reasons are valid.

-I wish fanfiction would potray Sonia and Eddie's relationship (and honestly Sonia/Myra) with more depth. I am NOT saying Sonia isn't abusive, she absolutely is, but i have seen A LOT of ridiculous portrayals of Sonia and it bugs me. Even good fic writers often pigeon hole her relationship with Eddie to just being him secretly hating every thing about her with no complicated feelings at all. As someone who grew up in an abusive household, majority of abusive relationships aren't like that. That's why abusive relationships are so sinister in the first place, they're hard to get out of because you convince yourself you love your abuser. Most kids, especially heavily manipulated ones like Eddie, would struggle with feeling pure hatred for their mother. And that's interesting! I wanna see that portrayed in Eddie's character, especially since he struggles with his own identity and feelings about himself quite a lot already. If you cannot handle a portrayal of an abusive relationship being more than just two dimensional awfullness 24/7, i don't think you should be reading something as heavy as IT.

-Similarly, the way people talk about Sonia, Myra, and to a lesser extent Belch is really gross. IT actually condemns fatphobia in the narrative by having Henry attack ben, and i see people complain all the time about how ben lost wait as an adult but suddenly when it's Myra, Sonia and Belch you can fat shame to your hearts content. I have seen so many posts from people, either roleplay accounts or otherwise, calling these three fat bitches or hogs or even fanfics that deliberatly use Sonia's weight as short hand for her being terrible instesd of letting her actions speak for herself. Fat shaming isn't suddenly cool when it happens to someone you hate. Molly Ranson is a real person and that is her real body, there are probably people in this fandom who even LOOK like Sonia out there. This also applies to insulting the appearance of any other actor btw.

-I think Ben Hanscom in the it 2017 continuity is honestly kind of a creep. He kisses Bev while she's unconcious depsite not actually knowing if it'll pull her out of the deadlights (he didn't even have a reason to think it would work at all), he holds onto her yearbook signature in his wallet for 27 years even tho he literally forgot everything, spends most of IT chapter 2 coping and seething that Bev isn't attracted to him, and never says anything to defend her from Richie spreading slutty rumors about her. The only time he defends her from slut accusations is when its henry and shes there to see him do it. If Henry did any of this you guys would be all over him, but because it's Ben and they play sappy music over it it's suddenly cute and whimsical.

-I also think Richie gets away with a lot of shit that if it was done by any of the antagonists the fandom would rip 'em to shreds. People give me shit all the time for sympathizing with Henry Bowers becaude he's racist and mysoginistic but Richie says many mysoginistic and racist things across adaptations and nobody cares. Of course he spreads rumors about Bevs promiscuity, but in the book he does quite a few racist impressions and bits like when he says "You know the worst part about getting AIDS? Trying to explain to your mother that you got it from a Haitian girl.". Hell, at least Henry is 12, practically groomed into it, and so mushy brained from the pills he can't think straight, what's richies excuse? I don't even care that Richie is gay, does being in the closet justify anything? Did being attracted to Henry absolve Patrick of the fact he killed a baby? No? The same goes for Richie. Ofc you can still like him, but i don't like it when richie fans act like he's all pure and ignore his worse moments just to grand stand.

-It 2017 is actually just as ewwy towards minors as the book. Just because you removed a gang bang scene doesn't mean you aren't still weird with minors. Mr. Muschietti still thought it was appropriate to make a scene where young Bev is forced to flirt with a pedo pharmacist, another where she gets kissed unconscious, and one where her friends oggle her in a bra. Yeah it's cool you got rid of the sewer stuff but WHY ADD ALL OF THAT IN.

-The whole "omg what if the ritual was going to work but richie had to sacrifice eddie as his token instead and thats why it didnt work" is kinda dumb. it implies that the native americans who created the god damn artifact couldn't do the ritual right but these random white guys could all along. The movie straight up says the ritual has never worked and Mike saying he believed it would work because of their connection is treated like it's wrong. Maybe Eddie was Richies token but I don't think that's why they defeated IT and I also don't think it would have worked to begin with.

He's a lot like my girl with Maurice (if he was more fucked up) being his bully, mind powers also makes me happy

Also I was listening to the Carrie Musical soundtrack and this song makes me think of Joanne

Oohhh that's actually so cool, Joanne is a cervitaur (deer centaur) in my au. But a Carrie White type monster for him sounds dope I'm all for it

Prayer for the French Republic

PRAYER FOR THE FRENCH REPUBLIC by Joshua Harmon directed by David Cromer: Joshua Harmon doesn’t just write plays; he makes theater. That may not be apparent at first in this Broadway transfer at the Friedman (Broadway’s most comfortable and accessible theater). The play opens with a long monolog expertly delivered by Anthony Edwards, who, according to one patron, now dabbles in acting. It’s followed by a lengthy dialog scene in which his sister (Betsy Aidem), a prominent Jewish psychiatrist living in Paris, meets a distant American cousin (Molly Ranson) doing a year-long study abroad. The language is witty, with humor based strongly in character. Then it takes off visually when Aidem’s more devout son (Aria Shahghasemi) comes in bloodied after being attacked by antisemites. That sets up the play’s central question: where can Jews feel safe. Harmon contrasts this with scenes involving Aidem’s great grandparents, who stayed in Paris during the war, and the return of their son and grandson (Aidem and Edwards’ father) from Poland, where other family members died in the camps. It’s hard to believe such a serious topic could generate so much humor, but Harmon has a keen sense of character, so he knows how to mine the family members’ foibles and inconsistencies. But he also knows when it’s time to get serious, and there are some shocking, electric family fights. He and Kromer have also created some striking stage images, many built around the modern family’s observance of Shabbat, Hanukkah and Passover. There are a lot of monologues, but this isn’t death by monologue. They’re all earned and beautifully performed. The great grandmother’s (Nancy Robinette) celebration of the fact that she survived the war brings the house down. The entire ensemble is terrific, though it was a revelation to see Richard  Masur on stage in a a role I’d never have imagined him playing.

[tenaciouspostfun]

 "Prayer for the French Republic" is a moving- thought provoking play by Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews). The plays premise is how safe a Jewish family is in modern day France. Harmon through his characters gives us a history lesson about how Jews have been slaughtered throughout time and what the reason is behind man's inhumanity toward men. Directed by Davis Cromer, this three hour plays moves quickly and never lets you out of the action on stage; we stay transfixed and focused in this heartfelt play.

 Cromer has a great cast to work with... Betsy Aiden is a powerhouse theatrical actor; Francis Benhamou too is a fiery actress who is rapid fire when quoting history. Molly Ranson who is a third cousin to the Benhamou's is visiting from America. A woke Gen Z who see's Israel as an aggressor draws the ire from Elodie (Benhamou). Debate and humor is at the forefront of this behemoth play, however, this play has less meaning to it than it did when it played a year ago off Broadway. Politically written plays run the risk of being dis-proven over time and "Prayer" is one of those. The October 7th attacks by Hamas has changed the realm of this play and so has the off handed remarks by former president Trump.

 What the playwright has done well, however, is bringing forth the history of French Jews and Jews around the world. We hear about how the French emancipated the Jews, the Crusades and how Jews are being attacked on the streets of France. It is when Marcelle and Charles Benhamou's son, Daniel (Aria Shahghasemi) gets beat up for the second time that Charles ponders moving to Israel.

 On a turntable stage (Takeshi Kata), we are taken from 2017 and back to World War II. We meet the Solomon's, grandparents of Marcelle who have been spared by the Nazi's during the war. The mood, the nuance of the plot is deftly supported by excellent lighting by Amith Chandrashaker (MTC always seems to have superb lighting regardless of what show you see at the Friedman Theatre). Through the windows we see the Solomon's desperation of staying indoors during the last two years of the war. Even still, the father, Adolphe (Daniel Oreskes) is hopeful that his children will return from the war unscathed, and that his piano store will flourish as it did before the war.

 The three acts are broken up efficiently and acts two and three pick up steam as the play goes on. The acting is well done much to Cromer's credit. Doubling down in the action he almost tips the scales needlessly; maybe he had to because the times have changed since last produced only one year ago.
