Watched Anyone But You and I just think if ur gonna do Much Ado About Nothing its rude to just adapt the fun bits and ignore all the themes and social commentary and an entire half of the plot. Like I don't think u get to make Claudio a lesbian for diversity points and then wriggle out of thinking about how the fuck you actually make the story MEAN something after youve made that change by just not adapting the claudio/hero plot at all come onnnnnn

#ik its a rom com ik were here for fun times i thought it was overall funny and enjoyable even if the dialogue was physically painful #however #i just #like the second i saw claudio was a woman i was like oh #unless the person who made this is a genius with a new hill to die on that i have not yet thought about but am dying to be informed of #this is gonna be a bad adaptation LMFAOOOO #ANYWAY i think u can do a loosely inspired by version of things and pull just the bea/ben plot if u want or whatever just dont like #pretend ur doing an actual modern adaptation or a modern adaptation with a twist or whatever #bc ur like....not doing an adaptation actually ur just cherry picking the fun parts #i will however now be devoting a 1/4 of my brain processing power #at all times #to figuring out how to insert lesbians into much ado without fucking with the themes so hard theyre unrecognizable
