I just finished watching Glass Onion for the third time so now you get to hear my rant about it but the details are out of order in the timeline because I’m lazy

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

When Miles lifts the gun off of Duke, we can actually see it pre-Blanc explaining it. The scene where the two hug you can see Miles take the gun and slip it into the back of his jeans.

Following the gun thing, we, the viewers actually SEE the gun itself (pre-Blanc’s explanation) when Miles goes back to the mini bar to put it in the ice bucket. Although it’s kind of hard to see it’s very clearly a gun but our eyes manipulate our minds into thinking it’s a drink because it is indeed a minibar.

They show how Miles places the drink in Dukes hand pre Blanc’s explanation but quickly distract us with the groups dynamic and Birdie.

Phillip is skeptical of Helen when she asks for Blanc, we can assume that he and Blanc have had negative run ins with people from jobs. Also Phillip might be judging Helen’s character, who she is, because he doesn’t want to put Blanc into a situation where he’s in true danger. He’s a detective not Batman.

Birdies mask at the beginning of the movie at the boat is just fucking chains across her face in diamond pattern.

Blanc doesn’t have a gag reflex when the dude in the white suit puts Miles “covid vax” down his throat. (Bc he’s 🏳️‍🌈)

Andi, when she first comes up with the idea for Alpha and starts working with Miles, is wearing dark colors. The dark blue pinstripe suit, her completely black ensamble when we see her at the Glass Onion (the bar). But when she’s challenging Miles she’s wearing both Black and white. At the trial she’s wearing a light almost off white suit. Why is this important? Because what color is Helen wearing when she shuts miles down? White. The color white is, in itself, a color that symbolizes Miles downfall.

Connecting back to the white idea, Whiskey is wearing all white (her bathing suit) when she reveals crucial information about Miles giving her the Taurus necklace for her birthday. (Which leads to his downfall when Blanc puts 2+2 together that he killed Andi)

“Im really bad at dumb things” -Blanc. The reason he didn’t catch on to what was going on with Miles earlier was because Miles is stupid. Miles is so dumb that he fucking befuddled Blanc because Miles is so stupid.

Blanc isn’t uncomfortable about his arousal around Birdie when she put her legs up on him while Miles talks about being ‘Disrupters’. He’s uncomfortable because he’s GAY and has a BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND.

There’s a bunch of owls and small trinkets of birds in Birdies room.

The movie, at the very beginning, with Miles mystery invitation box thing hints at where the envelope is hidden. The fibonacci sequence on the box has the center blocked out in black, where we will later see in the film is red which is where Miles is hiding the envelope. For fucks sake the movie even goes out of its way, with Dukes mother, to point out the sequence. (“The first one’s a fibonacci sequence” -Dukes mom).

During the dinner Whiskey is wearing the same golden chain body jewelry that Birdie was wearing earlier at the pool. So this could mean two things: 1. They have the same chain and 2. Whiskey borrowed the chain from Birdie.

Now connecting to my first point about the chain jewelry above. The reason why Miles likes Whiskey, despite her sleeping with him for the sake of Dukes channel, is because Whiskey reminds him of younger Birdie. Birdie even talks to Peg about how dazzled and amazed Miles was when he first met her and how she wishes it was like that again. Then when they’re smashing the glass sculptures, the first thing Whiskey smashes is a sculpture of a bird. Hence smashing Miles perception of her as another person he can use like he used Birdie.

“You have him turn around so he can have deniability” -Aaron Burr in Hamilton (Basically what Blanc was thinking when he walked out of the room)

When Blanc is trying to light his cigar in the “Smokeless garden” the reason the alarms go off is because because just the smoke and small flames from Blanc’s cigar could cause “another Hindenburg”.

The ending scene with Helen and Blanc after Blanc asks her if she’s ready to go home, Helen’s sitting stance mimics the Mona Lisa. Miles said “It all started with her” in reference to his success being inspired by the Mona Lisa. But it all ended with Helen and her stance at the end mimicking the Mona Lisa is meant to represent that. The beginning and end of Miles Bron.

Blanc refers to alchol as offering Helen “some courage”. Ofc as we all know alcohol is commonly referred to as “Liquid Courage”.

We should’ve known Miles was the killer for this simple reason: The glass he handed to Duke. Duke dying holding Miles’s glass is literally like a signed note. Duke died with Miles name literally written on the crime scene.

Is it bad that I literally didn't notice there weren't white kids in Abbott Elementary until it became a plot point? Like I knew it was predominantly Black but I didn't notice it was actually all Black kids (i did not actively think there were white kids or any other race in particular, just didn't think about it)

I’m not gonna lie I find German accents extremely attractive and when I first watched X2 and heard nightcrawler talk I was already hopping on his dick. I’m sorry. It didn’t help when he wagged his tail like a dog

Is there a paige hayward qpr yet....can I make one

[generic-whumperz]

In lieu of proper romance may I present to you- mutual awkward pining from protagonist and love interest who are equally afraid of expressing their feelings but act as if they are in a relationship anyway?

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work and the best I can do, take it or leave it.

When Jorge said that Zeus goes BEAST MODE, he was right.

And I can be the Beauty to Zeus Beast......I'm sorry. I'll go to horny jail now. But his part is so goood.

All I want to do is draw him now, but depression stops hinders me and all I can do is simp for what could be.

i dont mind being fetishised if its other trans ppl doing it tbh .. sounds hot actually

[remersgf]

at my situationships house and all i can think about is matt stone i’m in hell

[flamingtwiggy]

Lore Olympus is about a girl who gets ab*sed by her unknowingly half-brother and flees to the Underworld to escape and proceeds fall in love with her (not) uncle [as someone has generously reminded me that Zeus and Hades are not even brothers in this fic. Why the hell are some LO fans taking LO like actual Greek mythology if the author literally changed the “gods” relationships?]. Did I sum that up about right?

I’ll tell you what could’ve made LO 100% more appreciated: if the r*** plot was never there in the first place. If a god wasn’t yet again vilified for the sake of the plot.

You want to retell an age old myth, yet twist it so the guy who actually did wrong (Hades literally kidnapped Persephone without her consent. Don’t give me: “Oh but he had Zeus’ permission!” or “That’s just one interpretation!” Well we’re talking about this interpretation, kay? Cool. And also, you’re justifying somebody being kidnapped because their father gave permission for them to be kidnapped? Where does consent of the person being kidnapped come in? Make it make sense, please.) becomes her savior from the big bad popular guy! Ugh!

The disappointing thing is some of the characters designs are beautiful. I just wish the plot didn’t disgust me to the point I start ranting about how terrible it is every time it’s mentioned.

Overall, if you want to paint the original aggressor as a ✨sad boi who deserves the world✨, maybe don’t make someone else do the victimizing?

- There is historical context behind Hades abducting his to be bride. But is it not common to apply modern morals to these stories? How many times have you judged the other gods for their acts of wrath or violence?

In today’s world view, I highly doubt anyone would take it lightly if their daughter or son was kidnapped and forced to marry. But it’s okay, because we can just rewrite their “love” story, right?

Serious Poll

[tvgals]

one thing i find strange abt aot is it’s constant references to the holocaust/nazi germany …

like the armbands they wear

or how one of the opening scenes in aot where the eldian people were marching, a close similarity to how nazis marched, or how the eldians saluted, looking very close to one of a nazi salute

but hey, what do i know ??

[barbreypilled]

Katniss and Gale being white is actually distracting lmao I’m sorry

[sanguinifex]

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

ENOUGH.
