3 things the Space Odssey fandom NEVER TALKS ABOUT. (As if there iS a fandom, I can't even find people)
SPOILERS!
• What the hell happened to the dead hibernating crew? I know they got thrown out too but like- where are their souls? Why didn't starchild help them out 💀💀💀 They're probably so lost & confused--
• IN THE BOOK, Dave eats blue food at the end, and it apparently was like spicy jello that tasted like dried fruit, meat and bread or something. LIKE DAMN I WANT SOME-
(I love how they described the ending<3)
• If being around the monolith makes you evolve... WHY DIDN'T DR. FLOYD EVOLVE. HE LITERALLY FUCKING TOUCHED IT?? 😭😭😭 How come the manapes evolve but not him-

“Do you think this is funny?” Heywood was furious. “What if he had stopped the count? Huh?”

@cringeheywoodfloyd
The ending of 2010 if they had some time between Jupiter exploding and going into hibernation, but they’re much angrier with each other.
"What? You mean 'what then'?"
Chandra turns to face him, holding up the kill switch.
"I don't understand why no one on this mission seems to trust my judgement. You were the scapegoat for the failure of the Discovery mission, surely you'd understand that I was only doing my best for the crew in a very dire situation!"
He suddenly throws the kill switch across the room.
"No one seemed to have any better ideas - I have done nothing to warrant this....this attitude towards my life's work!"
Shakily sitting back into his cot, he puts his head in his hands for a moment.
"What then...well...we wouldn't be here of course. Or we would be floating dead in space at best case."
...
"I don't think it's funny no... I'm genuinely glad I'm here with you right now. I just don't understand why you have to always be so distrusting-"

Dr. Heywood Floyd as he appeared in 2001.
Dr. Floyd as he appeared nine years later, in 2010.
Methinks the good doc has had work done.

SEND ME A FANDOM meme: 2001 A Space Odyssey
The first character I first fell in love with:
Ough this one is hard because how I got into 2001 is not applicable but is also pretty relevant for this question...in this case I'd have to say HAL 9000 since I liked him across both movies on the first watch
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
Chandra! Mostly because I got to know him better as I read more in depth about him for my rp blog @definedoctrrchandra
The character everyone else loves that I don’t:
Stop naur I love all of them!!! 😭 (but if I HAD TO choose a least fave it'd be 2001!Movie!Floyd sorry dude you were really lame compared to your 2010!Movie!Counterpart Floyd)
The character I love that everyone else hates:
I dont really think there's a character that the 2001: aso fandom really hates; but one character that isn't talked about as much that I like is Moon-Watcher!
The character I used to love but don’t any longer:
Again I love all of them!!!😭 But if I had to choose a character who was in my top tens and is no longer it'd probably be Frank. Sorry man xD
The character I would totally smooch:
Okay hear me out but Dave is kinda fine OK
...
0_o
The character I’d want to be like:
Literally Max Brailovsky. He's so sympathetic to Curnow and always messes up idioms like "piece of pie" (instead of piece of cake ofc lol). Also when he freaks about about the rotting meat smell on the Discovery is highkey relatable(tm)
Also here's my favorite exchange between Curnow and Max (from the 2010 movie) ->
Curnow: "Durak". That's me.
Max: You shouldn't feel like that. Same thing happened to me first time I did this.
Curnow: When have you ever done this before?
Max: Never!
The character I’d slap:
the US Government for making HAL lie 🥺
A pairing that I love:
Halman omg it gives me so many feels
A pairing that I despise:
Frank/Dave. I don't DESPISE it but I'm just indifferent tbf

I’m still reading but… still not understanding a tendency to hate Heywood? It’s not everyone but a vocal minority and I don’t really understand it. Watching the films and I’m still on the first book opinion may change but it’s… the villains the government if anything.
You don’t like space dad??? Old man falls asleep on flights and reads the news on his space iPad. Man really really really likes space travel and exploration. Why bully pop pop?
