you guys think phillip ever organized some wildly intricate apartment mystery for benoit to solve because he recognized how understimulated and depressed the pandemic was making him ? because i think about that a lot and i think a fic writer should maybe think abt it too đ
#glass onion spoilers#knives out#glass onion#bonus points if he either#solves it in .4 seconds but plays along and they end up having an actually great time#or if heâs like âi love you but i dont think this would challenge meâ and then ends up being legitimately difficult#i want a comic of benoit trying whatever bread he was trying to make đ#benoit blanc#phillip (knives out)#phillip blanc

here is a hill I have chosen to die on:
every time you talk about Benoit Blanc solving a case in five minutes, youâre doing a grave and inexcusable insult to the manâs sense of drama and willingness to appreciate a mysteryâs full breadth, and I will demand satisfaction.
#benoit blanc#knives out#glass onion#following are some#glass onion spoilers#yes sure he ruins the murder mystery in Glass Onion#but he points out that he did that on purpose for a specific reason!

Kyra being so devastated by the thought of losing Alex made both sad and happy. Because Alex was her first friend, he was the first person to give a crap about her no matter the trouble she brought.
Everyone else looked at her and saw a troublemaker who did care about anything. Alex looked at her and saw this scared angry girl who he empathized with, he didn't look down on her for not understanding friendship or anything else that came so naturally to him he simply explained things because she didn't know.
#literally thinking about how Kyra lost everything during point blanc#except for alex#he was her first friend and he literally cared about her so much#their relationship is so important to me#alex rider spoilers#alex rider#alex rider tv#also Jack realizing how kyra felt and then immediately hugging her killed me

Never will a day pass where I will not look into the distance for good 5 seconds, remembering that FĂ©lix somehow knew in "Emotion" that Adrien could be snapped back into existence without both of his amok rings being around.
The episode went out of its way to make clear we know that both FĂ©lix himself and Kagami have their objects on them while Gabriel and Nathalie are wearing Adrien's, but somehow Adrien was still perfectly able to live on without them once Gabriel and Nathalie were gone. For FĂ©lix and Kagami the episode seemingly deemed it crucial for them to have theirs but for Adrien the same rule apparently doesn't apply.
This one is not letting me go because it's the second time this has happened now. First time was in "Chat Blanc" which is generally used as an argument to debunk the Senti-Adrien theory. I personally was always willing to give "Chat Blanc" a pass in good faith regarding this because it's such a packed episode - especially for the flashbacks - so who knows what scenes ended up on the cutting room floor that would have maybe shown the whereabouts of Emilie's ring? It was beyond questionable but I was willing to work around that.
But apparently one doesn't need to work around it because "Emotion" created such a specific situation to reinforce the very same circumstances of Adrien being able to live without his amok rings and showing us that Adrien as a Sentihuman is different from FĂ©lix and Kagami in more ways than just him having two amok objects. All the while FĂ©lix is apparently VERY aware of that while executing his plan to free Adrien from his father.
The one time in "Chat Blanc" can be an accident, but the second time in ""Emotion" is too detailed and explicit of an reinforcement to write off as another screw-up.

Gosh for so much of glass onion I can so very easily imagine the fun they were having making this. Like I can imagine them going "okay so we have this slow zoom on the Mona Lisa and have elon Bron talk about the interpretations of her expression- and then we CUT TO ANDI" or "oh so one of the puzzles is a fugue how should we explain it? YO YO MA!" or "y'know what'd be cool as hell? Having a guy walk through the shot and disrupt things while saying 'ignore me,' right? But we have him always holding a bottle of Corona!!" or "what if we play the Nat King Cole song? Wait, no, to really hammer it home, we have the ending shot be of andi in the Mona Lisa pose!" Or "this character who no one believed despite telling the truth and predicting downfall, y'know what her name should be? CASSANDRA"
It was an incredibly fun film to watch. I can't imagine how much more fun it must have been to write.
#you really can feel how much that movie had love put in it#love of storytelling love of acting live of mystery#glass onion is a very very very good story masterfully told#other things that were probably the most fun to include: what if the rothko is upside down? what if the guitar isnt left handed?#among other things ive seen people point out#i just love all of them#its got so many little details that make it so fucking good to rewatch#because they dont really hide things from you. they dont change things. its almost meant to be rewatched so you can pick up the details#and go 'ohhhh look at that!! theres the clue!!!'#i love it#ive watched it three times now and i giggled through my repeat watches like a schoolgirl seeing all the cool things#i want twenty of these#give me a whole series of benoit blanc films#glass onion spoilers

ALSO. donât answer this (/srs), but itâs been two full books now and iâm still confused. what the heck was up with the end of point blanc???? it was SO DRAMATICALLY AMBIGUOUS who walked away from that fight, and at the time, i was like, sure, itâs a cliffhanger to get you to come back. but then there was NO MENTION OF IT EVER AGAIN. i started reading skeleton key, and i kinda thought weâd get some kind of reassurance, from the narrator if nothing else, that that is, in fact, Still Our Guy, and not, you know, a CLONE. but then there was NOTHING? so, like, i guess this really is alex? probably? what happened to the other guy? based on the vibes iâve been picking up in ttb, iâve been assuming weâll circle back around to that at some point, but suddenly those vibes feel A LOT LESS CERTAIN. i donât think i actually want anyone to tell me one way or another (just in case it does come up later), but it just feels really weird.

In the spirit of pointing out things Miles says that indicate how much of a phony he is: During the dinner scene when Miles is explaining the rules of his murder mystery, Blanc asks if the game has already started. Miles responds âWell as Watson says to Holmes-â before being cut off by Blanc.
So I took it to mean that Miles was going to finish the sentence with âthe game is afootâ but he misattributes the quote. Itâs Holmes who says it to Watson and it can be found in the beginning of the story âThe Adventure of the Abbey Grangeâ which you donât even need to know bc yeah, most people know that Sherlock says it. Love it.Â

Today on This Show Has Been Going For So Long And It Has Changed So Much: tumblr just showed me my own post back from 2018 where I tried to theorize about possible outcomes for Gabriel and one of the variants was "Hawkmoth's identity is revealed, but he repents and stops using his Miraculous in harmful ways". And I actually decided this outcome is more likely, because "the show is cheerful and lighthearted". Huh.
We really went from "baby" version to "welcome to the harsh adult world" version, didn't we?
#miraculous ladybug#gabriel agreste#not saying this is bad!#it's just amazing how much things change for long-running shows#i was a firm believer in redemption arc for a while#but after 'chat blanc' this man became a goner for me#pst if you're reading this and you used to think gabe can change too#what was your point of no return for him?#fandom babbling#not sure if i should tag as#ml spoilers#but just in case

Go see the new Dungeons and Dragons movie. Just run. Don't finish reading this post.
That was SO REFRESHING. GOD.
Some minor spoilers ahead, but frankly nothing that would spoil your enjoyment of the plot:
A man and a woman who are friends and co-parents, who don't constantly belittle and snark at each other and who aren't falling in love? Mwah! Fucking finally. A genuine friendship where they BOTH respect each other! FUCKING WHEN IS THE LAST TIME
And the humor doesn't get in the way of the characters! It's funny, but in a funny-for-real way, not in a research-shows-1-joke-per-48-seconds-is-optimal way.
Like: the barbarian woman goes to visit her halfling ex. Oh boy, here we go, right? WRONG. They have a mature, respectful, heartfelt and open conversation about where their relationship went wrong, and wish each other well.
Afterwards, the barbarian walks out to the bard, who gives her a Look. Oh boy, THIS is it. This is where the dumb jokes happen. WRONG AGAIN. The bard sees that his friend is clearly hurting, and just starts singing Their Song until she joins in. Like. An actual friendship moment. No jokes. It's cheesy but in the way that actual people are cheesy.
It doesn't depend on you being some ultranerd for DnD, either: it's not like Marvel's obsession with pointing out that yes, Steve the Intern WAS forced at gunpoint to comb through the entire run of Waffle Ass Man from the 80s in order to find you a Reference. It's just place names and some tropes that all stand on their own while showing that yes, they are adapting DnD and they are earnest about it. (I've played like 3 times, I didn't know shit going in.)
Earnest is actually a great word. The whole movie feels so earnest.
Fucking finally, a fun adventure movie. I could watch like 20 of these. Just give me, in alternating years, one Benoit Blanc mystery and one DnD movie, and I'll be happy.

I just realized something about Glass Onion and the way itâs structured, and like everything else in the movie it was told to us in the start:
(GLASS ONION SPOILERS AHEAD)
⊠itâs a fugue. The movie is a Fugue.
During the puzzle box sequence when the music box puzzle opens, Yo Yo Ma tells Peg that the music theyâre hearing is Bachâs âLittle Fugue in G Minorâ he explains:
âA fugue is a beautiful musical puzzle based on just one tune. And when you layer this tune on top of itself, it starts to change and turn into a beautiful new structure.â
Right in front of our eyes, Rian Johnson just told us how the movie was going to go. It starts out with a simple tune, your classic murder mystery setup much like the Clue movie and half of the mysteries Agatha Christie was famous for writing. We meet the eccentric characters, a murder happens, everyone runs around for a while, and the detective seems ready to tell us whodunitâŠ
And then the movie starts over again. The tune is the same, but layered on top of itself with new context and a different point of view. Every new scene from Helen or Benoitâs perspective changes our perspective on the previous half of the movie, scene by scene. This new layer of the film adds to it and forms a beautiful new structure itself.
Addendum: the opening shots of each act also parallel each other. The first half begins with the start of Bachâs Little Fugue as we are introduced to Claire at her home when her puzzle box is delivered, and then we hear the fugue again but further on in the piece when Helen delivers her box to Benoit Blanc in the second half.
UPDATE: Having seen Rian Johnsonâs audio commentary of the film, he confirmed that it was intentional! VINDICATION!!!
#knives out#glass onion#benoit blanc#johan sebastian bach#little fugue in g minor#daniella monet#daniel craig#Rian Johnson you did it again you clever motherfucker#now make Knives Out 3 a muppet movie with the whole cast being muppets except for Benoit Blanc
