i love how similar the fall guy and bullet train are because david leitch i'm perceiving you so hard. i'm seeing how you shape your ideal version of masculinity and present the emotional action hero as sexy and capable and not at all undermined by his depth of feeling but made stronger for it. it's beautiful and subversive and quite frankly it's gay as hell. genuinely i find it extremely interesting how he handles this balance so gracefully in a way that makes colt and ladybug funny, real, and desirable to both the men and the women in the audience

#also not meaning to exclude nonbinaries in this post. i just meant it in a way that people often talk about the male vs female gaze #and i think david navigates satisfying both distinct wants in a very interesting way #and ladybug is sillier than colt for sure #and his emotionality is often played for laughs #in a way that had me questioning whether it was a positive framing or not #then the fall guy came out and i was like oh. this is just david's favorite brand of man #i see you david #i think it comes down to brad and ryan a bit also #brad seemed convinced that ladybug was a wuss and probably leaned into that more. i know he improvised a lot #whereas ryan was coming off the heels of barbie where he also played a sincere hot guy #i'm sure that helped him take colt more seriously as a character #but this is just my two cents #bullet train #ladybug #the fall guy #colt seavers #meta
