ok so what I kind of alluded to in this post the other day
like choices were made with bbc!Javert that's for sure but also he is not unrecognizable
from the beginning, they decided that Javert would have power. He was not just helping in Toulon, he was the guy there. He had no one to answer to, he had no superiors there. He followed the law and the rules of Toulon, cruelly and coldheartedly.
And so they established his character to be like this. Then he became a policeman and got promoted to an inspector and assigned to Montreuil. We were supposed to see him working under Madeleine, but they decided that bbc!Javert would recognize him immediately - there was zero doubt in his mind.
"Good God! it is very easy to be kind; the difficulty lies in being just. Come! if you had been what I thought you, I should not have been kind to you, not I! You would have seen!" (Hapgood)
(the translation I'm reading is using "good" (because the French is using "bon") and not "kind", but I think it doesn't matter much)
So bbc!Javert had no reason to act extremely respectfully and deferentially (in some way, he acted as Javert in the book before Madeleine became the mayor, but bbc!Javert was more forward and open about it. We only got very little from that period in the book; and the most we got was him provoking Madeleine during the cart scene).
And because bbc!Javert always knew, his character needed to be kept consistent and so his characterization would be mainly taken from Fantine's arrest and Valjean's arrest.
Javert doesn't listen to people he deems to be criminals. He doesn't care. Any protestation will make him angry, he will raise his voice. Javert enjoys power and hates when his authority is mocked and threatened.
During Valjean's arrest, Javert is petty, he literally stomps his foot, he even grasps Valjean's coat, cravat and shirt. He is elated, cruel, and uncaring.
“I tell you that there is no Monsieur Madeleine and that there is no Monsieur le Maire. There is a thief, a brigand, a convict named Jean Valjean! And I have him in my grasp! That’s what there is!” (Hapgood)
During the Montreuil era, bbc!Javert is a version of book!Javert that excluded the presence of a superior Javert would respect, i.e. Madeleine, imho. There was only a thief and a criminal present for bbc!Javert, and so he behaved accordingly.
#do i have issues with him in paris? sure especially in episode 5. but that just stems from 'my expectations'#the adaptation is being consistent with him and it works for me#it's still very lolwhut man? tho lol#and sure i could be wrong and biased#but i'm posting on tumblr and not writing a literary analysis lol#i just like this adaptation and want to talk about it 🙃 and have fun with a character#also my impression might be different because i watched the series dubbed#les miserables bbc#les miserables#javert#wish i could be normal and just like the book or the musical the most lol

eeeeeeeeeeee cuteness!
every time gauri maarofies a taana about “aapke bhai” and om agrees, i get 4 days added to my lifespan.
....... and who the fuck is bhaiyya to “strictly” decide the wedding theme?????? neither the bride nor the groom, so how does his opinion even matter?
lol anika has the same point to make. itna sab kuch kar liya hai toh yeh bhi khud hi decide kar le bc.

gauri out here kholofying all of di’s secrets. maine toh pehle hi kaha tha, yeh ghar ka bhedi hi lankaa dhaa degi.
also pool ka mention and paani ka darrrr means we all know what’s gonna happen!
om that’s a really dumb “solution”. one of these things is not like the other. the colour red cannot actually kill your brother. lord.
ohohoho unintentional emo moment in middle of hasi mazaak.
this is the dumbest fucking “challenge” ever to get them both in the damn pool. like... just have her fall in man.
lmao he’s sooooooooooooooo mad at being challenged tho.
not listening to this ainvayi ka chutiyaap because:
UGHHHHHHHHHH WHAT EVEN ARE THESE FACES!?!?!
lmao this is the most accurate pictorial representation of the sibling dynamics here rn.
god, what even are these technicolour kapde. i feel like i’m dropping acid.
lmao she’s sooooooooo bored.
omggggg i love how she noped outta that convo with nikhil to go talk to om instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
be still my aniKara loving heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also #omkaraIsBae
LMAOOOOOOO THE TWO BABY SISTERS’ REACTIONS ARE BEST.
matlab maanna padega is bande ke confidence ko. looking smug wearing... THAT.
you know it’s true love when you’re dressed like that and she looks at you like THIS. #loveisblind
lol ok shivaay, enough with the smizing already. you’re way too short to be ANTM.
lolololol chachi’s reaction.
talk about upstaging the damn bride. how fucking rude, shivaay.
but i guess the bride explicitly asked for it so......
i cannot get over the range of emotions om went through in the last 30 secs:
lmaooooooooooo and finally his kinda proud mama hen look, like “see? see how hot my bhai is? abhi bhi der nahi hui hai bhaabi!”:
ugh ok enough of this slo mo nonsense already.
oh great. naach gaana. i actually like this song though. imma just forward around a lil bit to see if there’s any good rikara bits, though lorddddddd, kunal’s dancing is just *shudder*
TFW THE WEDDING PLANNER (WHO’S BRIBING YOU TO GET MARRIED IN THE FIRST PLACE) AND YOUR TO-BE WIFE ARE EYE-SEXING EACH OTHER AND NO ONE GIVES ONE (1) SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOU.
wow even chachi is shipping shivika now. such is the power of colour coordinated couples.
THIS IS SO RANDOM. WHY’S HE DANCING WITH HER WHILE NIKHIL IS STANDING THERE??????????? AND THE LAMEASS CHALLENGE WAALE ISHAARE BS. AND THE FACT THAT THEY MADE RIKARA AND PRINKU THE BG DANCERS??????????? THIS IS ALL JUST SUCHHHHHHHH BAKCHODI OF THE HIGHEST ORDER AND I CAN’T STOP CRINGE LAUGHING.
same, saasumaa. honestly, #same.
but then he’s paying for the whole wedding. so let him dance with her, i guess. lol.
bro this isn’t appropriate in desi society even if you’re the fucking groom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT EVEN ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!!??!?
LMAOOOOOOO CHACHI THO.
literalllllllllllllllly no fucks given. amaaaaaaaaaazing. the balls on these two. i have no words. honestly.
lmaooooooooo poooora gaana hone ke baad, after finishing his grind up on the bride, shivaay pulls nikhil in as an afterthought. just... what a guyyyyy.
THEY STILL WON’T STOP EYE-FUCKING OMG YOU GUYS I JUST CACKLED OUT SO LOUD THAT I STARTLED THE CAT AWAKE. JFC. THESE TWO ARE JUST SOMETHING ELSE.
someone please get kunal some anti seizure meds for the epileptic fit he’s currently having.
(i’m sorry! he’s just SO BAD. WHY DO THEY MAKE HIM DANCEEEEEEEEE???????????)
I LEGIT HAD TO PAUSE THE VIDEO COZ I’M LAUGHING SO HARD. THIS POOR DUMBASS. I DON’T THINK ALL THE MONEY IS WORTH THIS BEIZZATI.
ohohohoh. time for dream sequence.
i mean i like this song and all, but come on, it’s fucking 10 years old. why not something nice and new? the dhadak title track really fits them rn. ugh.
also the choreography is really some trite bs. honestly, some effort would have been nice.
i’m just here for the aesthetic (uski toh inhone dhaijjiyaan uda di) good looking ppl making gooey eyes at each other.
OMFG WE GET BOTH POOL MAKING OUT *AND* THE RETURN OF TIA TOMORROW?!?!?!?!? GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
