What bothers you the most about the Medici (the series)?

HMMMM there’s no one big thing i can think of off the top of my head, so i’ll list a few little things that are more just pet peeves than actually anger-inducing lmao

inconsistency/lack of connection between seasons 2 and 3. given that they’re two halves of one story about lorenzo, i’d expected them to feel much more cohesive as a whole than they do. some things that were major parts of s2 (bianca, guglielmo, and their relationship, lorenzo and francesco’s relationship, basically everything pazzi-related) were completely ignored in s3, and some things that were major parts of s3 should have been set up in s2 but instead came out of the blue (giuliano and fioretta’s relationship, giovanni’s birth & him and piero growing up)

going off this, giuliano’s whole characterization and arc, as well as his relationship with simonetta and simonetta’s total lack of personality. i’ve spilled a lot of ink on all these things in the past so i won’t get into it yet again here haha

arranged marriages too heavily romanticized/idealized rather than being treated with the nuance i’d expect from a series based on real historical figures (mostly a problem with lorenzo/clarice in s2, they in s3 and cosimo/contessina in s1 are much more nuanced). don’t get me wrong, i’m all for period dramas that are 5% accurate 95% sexy and i’m not someone who gets fussed by historical inaccuracy in fictional adaptions of real history, but a little complexity is all i ask

lack of nuance in the medici-pazzi conflict in s2. i get that this season is supposed to be the happy naive idealism days before the fall, but goddamn would it have killed them to try harder than “lorenzo has always been good and kind to the pazzi but jacopo hates him for no concrete reason and dedicates his entire life to destroying him”? irl lorenzo did do the pazzi some concrete wrongs, so they should’ve included some of those. also when jacopo’s like “i don’t understand why the medici always throw money at the poor” it makes me insane because one of the specific things we know about historical jacopo is that he was known for being very charitable to the poor! again, i’m fine with foregoing historical accuracy for the sake of the story but not when it means turning a potentially complex character into a 2d villain (granted i think they did sacrifice jacopo’s complexity in favor of making francesco the complex antagonist, the darth vader to jacopo’s palpatine if you will, so i can forgive it a little)

lack of nuance with riario in s3 as well, he was evil just for the sake of it and didn’t have any motives besides unexplained all-consuming hatred of the medici

edit: HOW COULD I FORGET lorenzo got off way too easy at the end of s3 and his deathbed redemption didn’t feel at all earned to me, plus i hate bernardi being used as the scapegoat for lorenzo’s crimes (and i hate bernardi’s existence in general and think his screentime should’ve been given to the medici kids and/or bianca, but i’ve talked A Lot about that before lmao)

ok this looks like a lot haha but almost all of them boil down to “lack of nuance in various things that should’ve been written with more complexity”

Top 5 quotes from any Tolkien’s work?

sorry this took me a bit to get to!

1) “many that live deserve death. and some that die deserve life. can you give it them? then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. for even the very wise cannot are all ends.”

i just think there’s a lot of wisdom and a lot of tolkien’s life experience here. it’s a good sentiment.

2) “then hate overcame fëanor’s fear, and he cursed melkor and bade him be gone, saying ‘get the gone from my gate, thou jail crow of mandos!’ and he shut the doors of his house in the face of the mightiest of all the dwellers in eä”

this one just because it’s possibly the most BDE move in the history of arda. like sure it led to so many bad things but this man is the epitome of ‘i’ll face god and walk backward into hell’. he did that. king tbh

3) “all your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. but when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. but i am of the house of eorl and not a serving-woman. i can ride and wield blade and i do not fear either pain or death”

WHEN THE MEN BAVE DIED IN BATTLE AND HONOUR YOU HAVE LEAVE TO BE BURNED IN THE HOUSE FOR THE MEN NEED IT NO MORE ??? holy shit mister jirt sir 

4) “adaneth, i tell thee, aikanár, the sharp-flame loved thee. for thy sake now he will never take the hand of any bride of his own kindred, but live alone to the end, remembering the morning in the hills of dorthonion.”

andreth/aegnor.... is just That Ship. the romance of it all. 

5) “but you will be healed. you were meant to be solid and whole, and you will be”

... need I say more

Francesco’s flashbacks were the only things I wished for ...

S A M E i’m still maintaining hope, i’m confident that at the very least they’ll reuse some footage from s2 if only to be like “hey remember when francesco killed giuliano last season? that sure sucked” and that will soothe me if i at least get to see him one more time. but i would kill for new footage, whether it’s ghost francesco or flashbacks to things that weren’t shown in the previous season (like contessina and marco bello in the s2 flashbacks)
