Can we talk about The Horse and the Infant for a second?
Odysseus is literally so not wanting to kill Hector's son that he offers up every possible alternative to what Zeus is asking him, even going as far as to suggest that he'll raise him as his own son. I just find that so powerful.
Idk if anyone has talked about it yet but the set design for Nerdy Prudes Must die, most not only the massive walls decorated with writing from the students.
Upon first watch you see your typical phrases like “You’re next” “Lock your door” and “Jäger’s Coming For You” which you assume relates to the relentless bullying throughout the school and how the students fear max.
And then as soon as max dies, the writing on the walls for the audience takes on its dual meaning of warning the characters of their oncoming suffering and/or demise
I just thought it was neat and wanted to point it out cuz the school walls are one of my favourite details
okay maybe this one's a bit of strech and i'm just trying to find something that isn't there or maybe i'm pointing out the obvious but it's still so interesting to think about
each one of the guy's numbers include some sort of alteration to their costume (noel's lingere, mischa's wedding attire, ricky's idon'tknowwhattocallit), the closest we get to that with any of the girls is constance letting her hair down
ocean didn't need to since she was clearly already very sure of herself, jane doe had no idea who she was, a blank slate, and by the time her number came around constance was all for accepting who she was. but the guys? in their lives they all hid behind some sort of cover-up for the way they actually saw themselves/wanted to be because there was always something stopping them (noel's mother + the fact he was the only queer kid in uranium, mischa's home life + his mother's supposed death, and ricky being patronized and babied because of his disability) from being their real, authentic selves.
