#he should've ended up a mob boss and i'm right. what's all this tight tiny team bullshit. i wanted tf&tf to be equivalent to the godfather

rewatching this ending scene from fast and furious: tokyo drift and. okay i know the MCU has well and killed this kind of ending. but please just remember that this movie is from 2006. and you've been outside LA for two whole movies, okay -- yeah, the second movie was in miami, but not the miami part of miami, you know? and the entirety of this third movie has been so fucking far from anything else we've seen in this series. it's been fun, it's been great... but then we hit the end. and you're wondering how this movie ties into the others. and the random kid who's starring in this movie drives over, and we're hearing the same music we've been hearing all movie, and then very suddenly the music very visibly switches over into reggaetón, and there's spanish in the lyrics. and you know even before the camera pans to the other car who's going to be sitting there.

#sb and l rambles #ESSBIE LIKES FAST AND FURIOUS. I GUESS #more: essbie is entertained by the idea of a franchise based around hispanic masculinity. which this kind of is. but not really #fast and furious #anyway i almost cried when i first saw that scene and THAT IS NOT A JOKE #maybe the subtitle here is just that essbie is starved for representation in media and don omar is in this even when he's the comic relief #dominic toretto is textually cuban but not spiritually cuban except in the ways he really is.
