#look movie benny and nina are not BAD per se#but they are not musical benny and nina...#it's benny and nina with the serial numbers filed off#it's everything that made them special and compelling discarded for runtime or character thinning or gifted to other plotlines#what is nina and benny if they're exes instead of coming together after a lifetime of being too scared to cross that line?#what are they without kevin's disapproval and the complicated nuance of prejudice inherent there?#what are they without camilla's presence and eventual guidance and influence and support?#what are they without ever fucking fighting? without the struggle? without the argument at the club? without the og blackout???#what are they without sunrise ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ#here is the answer: just kinda there#cute as hell don't get me wrong#but they don't have a plot in the movie lmao#they are set decoration and a vehicle for a sweet song and some funky visual effects in when you're home#and they are too beautiful and messy and compelling and sweet and complicated and lovely for me to stand for it#in the heights#ith#post#im posting this (tags included) from my drafts from april 2023#i think in my head i wanted to rewatch the movie to make sure i wasnt off base#but u know what october 2024 maggie trusts ur judgement past maggie go off boo mwah#lilly
