Revengers Tragedy. 2002

If you enjoy this movie, I recommend you also try Revengers Tragedy (2002), starring Christopher Eccleston, Eddie Izzard, and Derek Jacobi. It is based on a 17th century play, and set in post-apocalyptic Liverpool. Very similar vibes.

I will bite my thumb at them, which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it.

Maybe the most devastating element of the prequels

Love the darth plagueis reveal because it’s 100% giving the energy of your roommate has a date over and you’re peeking out of your room to see if it’s safe to use the kitchen yet

Especially him fighting with it

and only when his firstborn is killed, Aegon will realize how little time he spent with his children. but instead of spending time with the living, he will give himself completely to the war, because he wants revenge for dead one. and when will he part with his children during the escape for their own safety, he may think that he has a whole life ahead of him to make up for lost time with them, to fix what he can never do with Jaehaerys, but he couldn't know for sure that he would never see his children again.

Man I love Cox's CE so much

It's kinda crazy when you think about how Ming Yi is basically the less ghastly version of He Xuan. And he was there by Shi Qingxuan's side for centuries, and yet Shi Wudu never found out. He never recognized him.

Imagine being in He Xuan's shoes - like this guy pretty much ruined his life and is indirectly responsible for the deaths of everybody who was dear to him. Shi Wudu rarely descends. But on the eve of Hanlu, he went down to check if he really died or not. He Xuan remembered his face. It probably haunted him during his times at Mt Tonglu, but when he finally meets this person, there is nothing on his face, no shock or horror.

He forgot him, forgot the face of the boy whose life he ruined.

He never bothered to remember. As if he never had a life.

It kind of reminds me of this scene from a manga called Yona of the Dawn. The protagonist is a princess who's on the run. She had lived a sheltered life and was trying her best to adjust to her new life. One day, she had to hunt a fawn for food, and one of her friends asked her if she would be okay with watching it, and she replied that she isn't. It's still hard for her. But she said that in the palace, thousands of animals were slaughtered every day to feed the royal family, and she never paid attention to it. But now, if she averts her eyes, it would be like refusing to acknowledge that the poor creature had a life.

Shi Wudu ruined his life for the sake of his brother, but let alone remorse, he even forgot what he looked like. He was there by his brother's side for centuries, and yet it never struck him, not until the moment his survival was on the line. If he was guilty, would it have changed anything? Would it bring He Xuan's family and the life he lost back? No, but at least it would ensure that his life meant something, anything.

And even after he recognizes him, his first reaction still is not guilt, not remorse. But a question, "You're alive?", perhaps an indirect way of saying, 'did I make a mistake that day?' Or 'did I fail to clear such an important evidence of my crime?'

The person whose life and afterlife is a consequence of his crime, the first thing he says to him is that.

"Noble people really are forgetful'', and He Xuan really meant it. He experienced it himself. For centuries.

This is partly a joke but not really. I like the idea of framing that reminds the audience that this is a pulpy thriller, but that doesn't mean it's any less interesting. Also I like the idea of Vindici wearing black leather gloves and everyone dressing in brightly colored clothes and winged eyeliner.

Mood board: The Revengers Tragedy staged and costumed like a giallo

is anyone gonna match my freak (i think John Gaius should smoke a bowl with the traitor Baru Cormerant)

I think the reason that Jonmartin works so well as a romantic subplot is because in his heart of hearts Jon is an Austenian main male love interest that falls for the poor poet and probably spends too much time thinking about the intimacy of hand holding and Martin is aware that he's in a horror but DESPERATELY trying to change his genre to romcom as much as he can. They're perfect for each other.

Beefleaf are great because they have the potential to be every kind of Shakespeare play at the same time.
