Thinking once again how in National Treasure: Edge of History, Joe Biden was canonically the president in the beginning of the series, and by the end he was not.

lmao people mad about the National Treasure EoH show being corny, boring, or not meeting full expectations on writing... have you never seen the movies? lol That’s what it’s all about! It’s the same producer, same score composer, same vibes, same roles. And it’s great lol

Look, as someone who heavily hyperfixated on the movies to the point I had a self-insert oc (I was in love with Riley okay :’D), a full fanfic involving said self-insert, could quote every scene of the movies by heart in the shower for funsies, watched the movies like every day when both came out on DVD, countless fanart, a few Abigail x Ben shipping videos on youtube, and had a large poster collection... I absolutely loved this show and can’t wait for season 2. Does it not make sense? Is it corny? Does it have mediocre writing and predictable twists and turns? ABSOLUTELY. And that’s all part of it’s charm lol

It’s like reading cozy fantasy books. It’s just easy escapism. A little adventure and history to push your nerd buttons, but you have the comfort of knowing it’ll all turn out okay in the end and wrap up a little too nicely. It’s not everyone’s taste, but it isn’t exactly bad either.

Where the fuck is the national treasure edge of history playlist. It has some legit good songs.

Also forever happy they 100% made the right call keeping Trevor Rabin’s iconic score and having him on for the show, his music is a huge part of the franchise imo

The thing about National Treasure, is that the villain has always had a cultural tie to the historic aggressors from whom the treasure was hidden.

In the first film, Ian was British and the treasure had been hidden by the Founding Fathers to keep the British out.

In Book of Secrets, Mitch was a white man from the South and it had been the confederacy who were looking for the gold.

But in Edge of History, they appeared to have broken this pattern. Billy is British while the historic bad guys for the Maya, Inca, and Aztecs were the Spanish Conquistadors.

However (series spoilers under the cut)

in episode 9 it was revealed that Agent Hendricks was the mastermind Salazar.

The actor who plays Hendricks is Armando Riesco and he's Puerto Rican.

While I don't know if Riesco has any Indigenous ancestry, I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility to assume that Salazar's lineage could just be Spanish.

Thus, the pattern has been maintained throughout the franchise afterall!

People are mad about the death and violence in NT:EoH and I get it, but as someone who has read the scrapped script for the first movie and the novelization of the second movie, this is what they intended all along and they finally got to make it happen.

The Thing that happened in episode 9? That was supposed to happen in the 1st movie with different characters.

One of the worst part of NT:EoH was discovering that Emily took Patrick's name after 30 some odd years of despising each other and her building a career and a reputation with HER name. Countless academic papers, research, all in HER name, and now she's changed it to freaking GATES? Nuh-uh!

Put some respect on HER name, Dr. Emily Appleton!

Right?

My friend and I were talking about this. And I guess it’s been so long people forgot. But the original movies weren’t exactly cinematic masterpieces. They were fun over the top camp.

And so it the show.

And kudos to the writers for knowing what made the movies lighting in a bottle. And not messing with it. Because man as someone who likes to write that couldn’t have been easy after all this time .

Heck after watching Edge my friend and I went back and rewatched the first NT. And yep still campy over the top writing that doesn’t entirely made sense

But that was the appeal then if people actually remember the movies as they were versus what they apparently thought they were
