@hood-ex Do you happen to have that post handy where you talked about the differences in Watters' approach to having Dick try and tackle social issues in Bludhaven vs Taylor's more shallow "look I had him create a foundation, it fixed things, I don't intend to explore why or how but trust me, it fixed stuff" approach? I noticed it when I was online briefly a couple weeks ago and I was like "that sounds right but I don't know enough to support it" at the time, but I've caught up and now I feel like I know enough. I would like to support it.

you know what, I think I've worked out why I'm cool with some folks hating a character I like, or liking a character I hate, or liking hating a ship I like/hate etc and I think it's HOW they approach it

Is their beef with the character/ship? or have they made it about the people who like/hate the character/ship?

like "I hate Bungles, he's such a CREEP" as apposed to "everyone who likes Bungles is a ding dong and clearly has terrible taste in partners b/c they like BUNGLES like come ON who likes BUNGLES?? MORONS??"

It's the turning it into a moral thing, the "ooh I'm better b/c I hate Bungles" thing I think that ticks me off. Going after real life ppl b/c you hate (or like!) a fictional character so much "Anyone who hates Bungles should DIE" like oof, no thanks. Turning into a purity/clout/moralistic war where you attack features and traits of folks is I think where I draw the line.

Otherwise, I think I've grown into being able to be fine with ppl hating my favs/liking my hates, even if I might not connect on every point. Now THAT'S something we can agree to disagree on XD (and not like "I don't agree you're trans" or other shit things ppl try to use that phrase for lol)

tbh i think one of the big reasons im so gung-ho about c!bee beint a romantic relatioship is because so many ppl were weirdly homophobic about the whole thing like having them be platonic fine whatever but the fact that a majority of the fandom were treating them like being romantic is like some horrifying unthinkable thing is like. ok would you be saying this if they were straight though. are you just treating this like some horrible boundary breaking shit (DESPITE IT BEING CANON) because theyre gay. Answer quickly

since you're the most qualified person i know regarding dumas, i wanted to know your take on the bbc's The Musketeers (2014). i had a weird obsession with it a few years ago. how well (or not) does it hold up in every aspect (except for the main title track which is above any and all reproach)?

hmmm after long reflection this is difficult to answer because even tho i do in fact like the show, the only specific things i have to say ab it are negative, and i feel that doesnt fully reflect my opinion. i think the best way to summarize it is the show doesnt do anything as good as the books, so when i try to analyze it im just thinking "couldve been better" but i do admire their honesty in saying its "inspired by the characters" instead "based on the books" or whatevey. anway ill try to hit some more specific points:

they did my boy rochefort soooooo dirty!!! why did they slander him like that hes a very cool chill guy in the books and him and d'art have such a cute lil friendship in vaa, whyyy did they make him such a horrible little creeper #notmyroachie also what is adaptations repeated fixation on eyepatches? he literally doesnt have one

i dont feel as strongly ab the grimaud slander bc that change is funny as heck. he bears zero resemblence to book!grimaud but if book!grimaud decided to hunt athos for sport i would support him. tho i do think if they wanted to make him a villain they shouldve made it /him/ as a villain, not just some guy w the same name. or even commit to the bit and do an evil lackey squad. also its a tv show they had time to include more of the side charcters from the book [such as the lackeys] but didnt?? like this applies to others but im a lackey stan so i think of them first. its interesting how a lot of modern adaptations tend to minimize or erase servant characters when in some classic lit [particularly these] they are major side characters

ryan gage as louis 13 slayed immensely. he did not have to bring that much to his performance but he did and it was amazing

costume design was mid at best, and made all the worse by louis and the occasional side character wearing stuff thats actually in the vicinity of 1630s so that i see them and think "why not everyone?" i will say that they tended to have internal consistancy with each other so there is that going for it, but i absolutley HATED how the mouskos literally never changed clothes. like they got new fits in s3 but then they never changed out of those? a single cloth doublet im begging d'art got MARRIED in that crusty leather fit even tho his gf is literally a seamstress its horrible

calzone brought up that pretty much every woman in the show gets victimized at some point, which, yeah and it kinda makes the feminist monets feel a lil performative. also they fell into some of my milady adapting pet peeves: massive stat debuffs, made her sad ab athos, over-reliance on pop culture femme fatale tropes rather than her actual canon, etc. that one ep where perdita weeks showed up as a grifter/assassin and i just sat there and thought "that shouldve been milady. also people who think s3 was bad bc theyre butthurt ab milathos are wrong and stupid. s3 was bad bc of spiderman 3 syndrome [too many villains making it unfocused]

very uneven amounts of screentime for the mouskos? i swear half of the episodes were aramis-centric and maybe 2 overall were d'art-centric? make that make sense. actually fr what WAS the shows obsession w aramis, esp when they got rid of his more complicated and interesting book traits. hes barely even catholic in this, much less slutty and evil. all les inseperables were a lil ooc but i expect that in adaptations to an extent [tho i do feel they lost some of the charm of how wildly different they are from eachother in the books] the casting itself was pretty good though and i feel cabrera couldve done a good aramis if they had given him better writing to work with [also: hilarious how aramis spends most of the show in a committed monogamous situationship while /athos/ of all people has the three weed smoking girlfriends]

absolutely comical how much a bbc production went out of its way to avoid any of the england related plots from the novels. what, worried about even the slightest potential of portraying england less than favourably? tbh aside from dumas' funny narratorial comments england gets a pretty fair shake in the books, so excluding buckingham etc. in favour of making up plots ab spain is just silly.

absolutely loved that one time they went to the morgue to investigate a case they shouldve done that more it was funny. i think the show was at its best when it was having silly goofy moods [athos' "funeral"? peak]

uhh i think thats it for specifics, if there was something you had in mind you can ask and i probably do have a thought ab it that i just like forgot lol. anyway solid 6/10 ive seen it multiple times and am open to watching it again, like you said bangin theme song

[transfemzedaph]

i want to be petty. share ur controvertial opinions with me pretty please. lets all be haters together

[beifong-brainrot]

You know as much as i can see the appeal of zutara in later scenes (crystal caves, southern raiders, hell, even tye last agni kai) the "I'll save you from the pirates" sequence and subsequent scenes was and still is one of the most terrifying scenes to me in the entire show.

THIS LIVES RENT FREE IN MY NIGHTMARES

‘gay retelling of a classic!’ ‘feminist sapphic twist on this greek myth!’ why don’t you write a better book than that. i think we deserve better books than that

[roseworth]

zdarsky is capable of writing a good batman story. i’ve enjoyed the last couple issues. but he chose to start with failsafe and zur so it tainted his entire run for me

[smulo-var]

A DALŠÍ VĚC co mi vadí na Tajemství staré bambitky 2 na kterou se nikdo neptal!

Magie

V celé jedničce není ani troška magie

Naopak si zakládá na tom aby to bylo takové upřímné a reálné, lidi a jejich životy. Jasně, je to pořád pohádka (což člověk pozná hlavně z toho že to dopadne dobře) ale magie tam vůbec není. Žádné kletby, magické předměty, mytologické bytosti, nic.

A pak přijde dvojka

A najednou se tam objeví celá boční linka která je magie vyloženě plná

Nejenom že máme prokletou královnu (kdo ji proklel? Motá se tam někde čaroděj?? Co se děje??) ale ona má navíc kouzelný předmět. Najednou. Jdeme z 0 magie rovnou na 100. Přitom mi nikdo nemůže tvrdit že se to nedalo vyřešit jakkoliv jinak.

Na co?? Proč? Protože scenárista potřeboval výmluvu že se odkutálela až k sousedům? Protože to je jediný vliv na děj co ta kletba vůbec má. A proč je tam ten hrnek?? Existuje vyloženě jenom aby existoval, je tam jenom pro tu boční zápletku (která tam být vůbec nemusela??) a není vůbec obhájený. Kdyby aspoň řekli že ho má po rodičích, nic. Z toho jak na něj Hermína na začátku ukazuje by si člověk myslel že jim nakonec všem zachrání krk, ale on je tam asi jenom aby si mohli filmaři hrát s efektama.

[sonknuxadow]

ok they made everyone a hater in this game actually its not just knuckles

[aihoshiino]

it's always so bizarre to me to see people calling asgykk 'mengo's alt' even jokingly and i know it's purely because of the aquruby content and bc people want to convince themselves mengo is foaming at the mouth about hawt incest seggs at all times but. it's bizarre to me specifically because asgykk's art looks nothing like mengo's LMAO. if anything, it looks way more on-model for the anime's art and therefore, kappe's. but kappe isn't the one everyone says is jerkin it to hawt incest sexx0rs so

[edwardseymour]

Ik this is a stanne hater zone but i need to bitch and i think this is a safe space? certain elizabeth fans who act like she was morally progressive make me so uncomfortable like i get she's your special little blorbo! but they start sounding like hamilton fans idk this might be a me being black thing but i can't stand it

well, i’m white — so i’m not the best person to speak on this, but you’re absolutely right, anon! i really do think this fandom has an issue with acknowledging it’s own racism. i know a few poc (and black specifically) members of fandom who have voiced similar discomfort — and likewise i’ve heard similar from irish people. there was a bit of drama a few years back in fandom over whether or not elizabeth i should be held accountable for slaving voyages and early colonialism… (she should.)
