the 3k word mario movie review

here are my first thoughts on the mario movie. i'm probably gonna end up watching it again but i think ive had enough time to think about it to get my thoughts straight on what i think! even with how long this is, i'm sure i forgot stuff, but i hit on everything major i think.

tl;dr: 7/10. preddy good.

alright so under the cut is gonna be me being wayyyy too much about super mario brothers, so be ready for that. (but if you're following me then that's probably what you want LOL.) half mario review, half personal essay. very little chris pratt talk. i make fun of a lot of stuff but only because i love Mario so much. if you're mad at me for my Hot Mario Takes, just remember that i care about this more than anything and i'm going to die alone probably.

this is REALLY long and i'm sorry. spoilers, obviously.

my background/perspective: i'm closer to 30 than 20, and i've been a fan of mario since i could look at a tv screen. my introduction was the first Mario Kart game. Mario was my first ever online fandom, going on mario fansites like Lemmy's Land and Neglected Mario Characters was how i learned how to use the internet. a lot of my sense of humor and artistic style comes from the mario franchise, especially Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (if you can believe it lol.) i wrote a mario high school au fic when i was 8 years old. i'm cringe and i'm proud.

i also went to school for animation. i fucking love cartoons. so, needless to say, i was hyped for this movie, even not being the biggest fan of Illumination as a studio. i had measured expectations, but i really went in wanting to like the movie. (which i did, but not in so few words.) i was just as prepared to not like it, and i didn't want to get too excited for something that might not live up to my expectations. yeah yeah, it's just The Mario Movie. well, i love movies and i love mario.

i avoided watching a lot of trailers past the first couple, but i was aware of the content of them. mostly through tumblr gifs, lol. so i went in medium-cold.

as expected by now, the movie looked amazing. Illumination has always had great character animation, but imo this is the best looking movie they've ever made. the environments, especially the ones with mushrooms, were gorgeous. The movie started with that Bowser scene from one of the trailers where he destroys the ice castle. it was cool seeing the full version of the scene, and when Bowser said, "...or DIE!" i was like "oooh. he's a little scary 😈"

before i get any deeper into it i just want to say: this was a movie for babies. obviously, it's the Super Mario Brothers movie. i think everyone is going to go in knowing that. the showing i was at was full of kids, a lot of them in costume or carrying Yoshi plushies. They would cheer at stuff and laugh at the silly slapstick humor, and i honestly think that enhanced the experience. a kid yelled "RAINBOW ROAD, BABY!" and it was amazing! that's Mario, fun for the whole family.

second thing: kid's movie ≠ bad movie. everyone should know this by now, in this post-puss-in-boots world. i would not compare the mario movie to puss in boots, by the way, it's just fresh in my mind and also based off existing kid's media. the only thing they truly have in common is the medium. their target audience is different, even if the vast majority wouldn't notice. like, i wouldn't bring a toddler to puss in boots, but i would to the mario movie. Bowser is not actually going to murder anybody. mario is also not gonna kill him at the end. nobody is gonna DIE in the mario movie.

all this to say. i was dazzled by the imagery in the opening scene for the usual reasons i like Illumination - the set pieces were huge and detailed, the lighting is amazing and atmospheric, the synergy between the character animation and the voice acting is solid. i especially liked the part when Kamek enchanted the pieces of rubble to make stairs for Bowser to walk up, it showed what their relationship is like and what a toady (ha-ha) Kamek is. (not the characterization i would go for with Kamek but *big heavy dramatic sigh* WHATEVER)

so, that scene ends. we cut to Mario and Luigi's commercial, which i LOVED. i thought it was so fun, and i love the analog quality to it and how DIY it was. and the best part for me - i love that we're in Brooklyn, NY!! when that first trailer dropped and i realized the movie was gonna be an isekai, i was so so happy. it's my favorite version of mario bros canon, and one of the few things in actual canon that i think gives Mario depth. it's compelling to me, the idea of a regular blue collar dude who's maybe in his 30s (mario is not 24 and i will die on this hill) who gets spirited away to a magical land where he doesn't belong, but he helps save the day because he wants to (and maybe he falls in love along the way??) uh put a pin in that thought i guess.

so, the dialogue starts, and it hits me - okay, this move is gonna be kinda stupid.

maybe that's harsh? let me try to explain what i mean. it was immediately apparent that this was going to be a funny, silly movie that wasn't gonna be too serious. the comedy is broad. when they walk by Foreman Spike and he's like "YOU'RE A LOOSAH, MARIO! YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A LOOSAH" or whatever, i was like, okay. we're not getting a Deep Mario Character Study. not that that's what i expected, of course, i'm just a weirdo who has dedicated his life to Deep Mario Character Studies. That's a me problem. but i still half expected mario to go "oh yeah, Foreman Spike from Wrecking Crew for NES (1985)? You won't be laughing when I become Nintendo + Illumination: The Super Mario Bros. Movie!" so i don't LOVE that vibe

okay, i'm like 2% of the way into the movie and this is already spiraling out of amuck. my point is that i'm not going to knock this movie for the things it isn't. it has that sorta glossy rounded-edges writing that movies from this studio have. in a way, it the writing is like a mario game. illumination + nintendo is kind of a match made in heaven.

for the rest of this manifesto, i'm going to divide my thoughts into three sections: stuff i liked, stuff i didn't like, and stuff i had complicated feelings about.

stuff i liked

Firstly, MARIO'S FAMILY! maybe the highlight of the whole movie for me. i knew we'd get Brooklyn, but seeing the whole Mario fam was a shock. not a lot of fanworks give them a big family like that, so it was nice to see! everyone looked great, and it was so cool to see mario and luigi in that context.

and Mario's bedroom?? was SO cute. im gonna have to pause and zoom and see what's in there because i dont remember the details but like i said, the environments are SO solid, and that doesn't stop for the Real World scenes. Brooklyn is just as gorgeous and detailed as the Mushroom Kingdom. the movie was never boring to look at.

seriously, the look of this movie is INSANE. That initial little Mushroom Grove location knocked my socks off, it reminded me of The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach, which is the highest compliment I can give to this movie. the visuals were absolutely off the hook.

the character design was also really nice, which i was a little worried about going in. there's this tendency with some artists to make Peach an ethereal boobie goddess and Mario a little baby goblin sprite, so i liked that they looked like they could smooch if they wanted to. (they didn't.) i knew it would be a fine line to walk between staying true to the in-game renders of the characters and keeping things visually interesting/fresh and new, and I think they walked that line well. everybody looked like they were drawn from the same hand. the visual style of the film was the most cohesive part of it.

the action scenes were really fun to watch, and i loved that scene in Brooklyn when Mario is parkouring around the city with Luigi stumbling behind him. they did a good job making Brooklyn really lively and exciting in its movements. everything was super bouncy!

the Mario Kart sequence was REALLY fun and I'm mostly putting this here for how much my dad loved it. it had everything you could want from Mario Kart on the big screen, and the little speedrunning maneuver Mario does was great.

Bowser. maybe the best performance in the movie, which is par for the course for Jack Black showing up in movies. i think everyone agrees on this so i won't go on too much, but for the most part i liked his characterization. i love a goofy bowser, and i like that his actions had consequences in the end, too. i always loved the games where Bowser is on your side. in my opinion, he's at his best when he's a petulant manlizardbaby, not the Supreme Lord of Darkness.

bowser in a jar at the end was really funny. Make That Guy Tiny! i also love the implication that without Bowser telling them what to do, the Koopa army just kinda chills out. i like that vibe.

stuff i didn't like

The trailers gave too much away. I feel bad because this isn't a knock on the movie on its own, but like, EVERYTHING luigi did the whole movie was in the trailers. like, for how short the movie was, it's insane how much they showed. speaking of which...

god bless Illumination and their tight 90 minute runtimes. (this was 92, actually! yay!) the movie overall felt very fast, which in the action/platforming scenes was great! but most of the time, it just forces the plot to happen to the characters while they're tossed around like ragdolls. at one point i remember saying to my dad, "why is mario like this? he's just down for whatever." (put a pin in that. meanwhile...)

here's that pin from earlier! this is a big one for me - i thought every piece of dialogue between Mario and Peach was disappointing. their first meeting was weird as hell, and it gets worse. it's a symptom of the larger problem of things being really rushed - there's almost no time for characters to interact with each other. a lot is resting on existing relationship dynamics. Mario and Luigi as brothers, Peach and Bowser as old enemies, Peach and her toads' bond, ect. The most developed relationship between two characters who meet during the events of the movie is Mario and Donkey Kong, which... sorry DK stans, but it just isn't my jam.

with Luigi being the one kidnapped, i thought maybe we'd have some sort of relationship form between Mario and Peach in the meantime, and i guess it did? kinda? like i said a million words ago, nothing ever really gets too deep. they have conversations looking out onto vast beautiful landscapes, and in romantic fire flower fields, but... i don't know, they just seem like work friends. they don't really talk about anything serious, and even when they do, it just feels like the scene ends right when it's gonna get good. and the one moment where mario is "flirting" with her gets ruined by Donkey Kong. so, that's cool.

Luigi didn't do shit! not even a hot gay sex scene with Bowser he just gets captured, almost dies in lava, and then Mario rescues him. as a Mario stan (and comparing this to the live action movie for a sec) i did appreciate the focus on Mario, but it's such a shame that Luigi didn't really get to do much besides sit in a box. :(

To me, the overall structure of the movie was pretty weak. There were so many cool parts, but it just never really coagulated into anything cohesive narratively to me. a huge part of that was that the stakes weren't really there. and it's not that big, dramatic things didn't HAPPEN, the characters just didn't give the weight and gravitas to them one might expect.

the licensed music fucking sucked, but thats par the course for this studio so it didnt surprise me. it made me angry the same way Suicide Squad did, because i'm not against licensed music as a concept. (see: breaking bad/bettercallsaul, shrek, ect.) it's just like, don't go with the FIRST song you think of, y'know? or, like, why BOTHER with something like Mario, which has SO much established score you could do instead.

Mario Not Liking Mushrooms is on the tier of Cruella de Ville's mom being killed by dalmatians or whatever. it made my dad laugh, though.

this is not a knock on finding the movie funny - i was laughing throughout most of it - but it has this self-aware thing about it that a lot of movies have nowadays that i just do not find charming. the whole "oh, these bricks are just FLOATING here? well THAT just happened" or "you mean i have to EAT mushrooms?? but i HATE mushrooms! this is the OPPOSITE of what i want!" it's just so... bland. it doesn't have its own identity. it's studio-funny and really, really safe. (it's Nintendo + illumination: The Super Mario Bros. Movie.)

this last point might be controversial, but i hated the scene with Mario and Luigi as babies. i thought it was dumb and bad. by far, was my least favorite scene. it just felt so... i don't know. it was just a bit much. i'll expand more on why in the 'complicated feelings' section, but i just want to shine a spotlight on that scene as the low point of the movie for me. but my grandma liked it, so i'm probably just a hater.

(VERY close second was the one where Bowser is practicing what to say to Peach, then it cuts to Kamek in a wig. booooo! *throws tomatoes*)

stuff i had complicated feelings about

pratt did fine. it's really easy to forget about the man and just see the character, which is a huge compliment. celebrity voice actors are an industry problem (one that Illumination contributes to a LOT tbf) and i think the fact that pratt kinda 'disappeared into the role' was a plus. it still kinda feels like a silly casting choice overall, though. i remember watching the Nintendo direct live where they announced it, and i was gasping for air from laughing so hard, i had to pause it. but anyway, this is just my own taste, and probably nostalgia from the Super Show, but i prefer a more curmudgeonly, Brooklyn-accented Mario. so for me, pratt did fine.

bowser. i loved jack black's performance and he struck the tone for bowser that i was looking for, but as a big fan of Tenacious D, some parts were less "bowser as a character" and more "Tenacious D song from Bowser's POV." Of everything i've talked about so far this feels the most like nitpicking because Jack Black's performance really was a highlight of the movie, but hey, we've made it this far!! you're locked in this Confessional Box with me and you're getting everything!!

one thing i can point to in regards to this - and i can't believe i'm about to say this because it's so ridiculous sounding - but they gave Bowser a little bit of a "yandere" vibe, right?? *sniper dot appears on my forehead* but they could've leaned further into it, and it was kinda overshadowed by the Jack Black of it all.

here's that second pin! it's for Mario's Daddy Issues! it's not a bad idea per se, like, yeah, you can do that sort of arc with Mario, why not? (he's got a couple daddy issues in my own fanon to be fair!) but the way it was integrated into the plot just felt SO cookie cutter, like literally ANY character could have had Mario's arc in this movie. it didn't feel related thematically to what was actually happening in the movie, and the reason that bothers me is because Mario is just so BLASE about everything happening to him! Like, sure, he's bumbling around all confused like a cheep-cheep out of water, but since there's just no room to breathe, we can't have anything more than narrative shorthand for arcs you've seen before. but the potential for depth is there!! it is!!!

i think what i mean is that there's not really levels to how characters react to things, almost like they're not allowed to have too extreme emotions. it feels like they had constraints, and they couldn't establish too much about the characters. Nintendo is a tightly controlled brand, right?

so, because of that, it's REALLY strange to me that they not only gave Peach a backstory, but to my knowledge, a backstory that doesn't come from any of the games or past adaptations. in a way, her story is the reverse opposite of Daisy from the live action Mario movie. if this movie had been twenty minutes longer, i would've loved to see this resolved in a more satisfying way! it really feels like there was no emotional resolution to her story, which surprises me because there were obvious parallels to Mario's angst about his own family/desire to Save Brooklyn in Peach's struggle to protect the toads. like i said earlier when i was talking about Mario and Peach's conversations, it felt like it stopped right before it was about to get good.

it just doesn't seem like the characters in this movie feel things deeply. most characters end in the same place they started. that isn't a bad thing, by the way, which is why it's in the "complicated feelings" section. lots of movies do that - Back to the Future does that, my favorite movie of all time.

it's all very, very down-the-middle. it's for everyone, it's for no one. it's Nintendo + Illumination: The Super Mario Bros. Movie., and everything that entails.

i think the reason the Baby Mario scene bothers me is because it reminds me too much of the fact that this movie is a product. all movies are, don't get me wrong, but there are so many parts of this movie that felt especially product-y. it was just kinda blatant about it in the stereotypical way that b-tier animated kid's movies are. it was packed with references, which in a way was cool to see. i'm sure that when i watch it again i'll catch all sorts of things i didn't catch before. but this movie kinda just feels like a PILE of stuff all mashed together without much thought put into how the actual world is supposed to work, or what the lives of the people who live there are like, or how they feel that their kingdom is being destroyed.

let me just be totally real for a second. *unzips clown costume a little*

art means a lot to me, obviously. and if i'm being totally real and baring my soul or whatever, nothing has impacted my artistic life and process more than Super Mario Bros. There's nothing I can do about it. the sky is blue, water is wet, and i love mario.

i saw this move sitting in a row with my family, in seats we'd all reserved in advance. i was sitting between my parents, who taught me how to play Mario. i had a smile on my face the whole time, even during the Baby Mario scene. every time something cool or flashy happened, a tiny voice from somewhere in the theater would GASP, or yell "LET'S-A GO" or "IT'S PEACH!!!"

among my group was my youngest cousin, who's eight years old, and i realized that she's the same age i was when i created my account on Lemmy's Land and made a Koopaling OC. (that used to be the Thing to do in mario fandom.) that realization almost gave me a fuckin stroke. the passage of time, am i right?

but anyway, if this movie had come out when i was a kid, it would've blown my mind and changed my life. i felt a weird ennui after the movie ended, and everyone was asking me what i thought. people at work the next day were asking me about it, because i'm the Mario Guy even in real life. and i didn't have an answer. i didn't know what i thought.

what i said to them was, "i'm weird, i'm not a good example of a normal opinion on this movie. 7/10." and then i went home and i wrote the 3000 words you see above you.

this is longer than most of my Mario fics, let's-a wrap this up.

hopefully i've given a little bit of a sense of what i thought of the movie. It's everything, it's nothing. you are in its target demographic whether you like it or not. it's the movie some of you have been waiting for your whole lives. it had expectations that it never had a chance of living up to. it has jack black. it's a pile of mush. (no pun nintended.)

I can't beLEIVE I never sent in an ask when you made this blog to begin with but heyho I'm here now!

Similiar to a previous request, preddy pls could I get some headcanons of male!reader being best friends with Donnie but having a phat crush on Boy in Blue? 👀

Your work is amazing pal, and I hope you're doing just as well! 💙

My friend, it's a pleasure to have you in my inbox! And I really, really love this prompt, I had so much fun doing the first one so here you go! Hope you're doing great!! <3

Friend with Raph and crushing on Donnie

______________________________________________________

You can’t hide it from Donnie. He’s extremely observant so he just knows

He’s a bit suprised you don’t mention it at first, and then he figures you probably didn’t even notice yourself.

One day, during movie night, after you spent the entirety of the movie just quietly talking with Leo all cuddled up against him, you get up to get more snacks, and Donnie joins you in the kitchen.

He just keeps giving you side glances and knowing smirks and you can’t take it anymore.

“Okay, fine. What is it?”

“What’s what?”

“C’mon, you’ve been looking at me weird for like, two weeks now. What. Is. It.”

“You tell me. What’s going on between you and Leo?”

You freeze. You just started to realize you like him and you were hoping it wasn’t too obvious.

But with the way Donnie is looking at you right now, being all smug and everything, you realize you weren’t as subtle as you thought.

From now on, every single time you and Leo are in the same room, Donnie pulls the ‘smug cat surrounded by knives’ face

You know the one

But other than that, he doesn’t interfere

It’s not his place, and he knows that you’ll tell him when you’re ready

He doesn’t want to ruin your chances or make it weird

When you want to vent or need advice, he’s here to listen and puts aside his bigger projects so you have more of his attention

He gives way better advice than Raph too, so kudos to him

If the others ask about you and Leo, he’s not gonna hold his tongue and he’s also not gonna be sorry about it

But he does make sure no one tells him about it

And April make them promise that no one tells you Leo's crushing on you

You notice tho because every time you're a little too close to him he short circuits

Donnie changes Leo's name into his phone to "HHA", which stands for "Honorable Homosexual Anxiety" (it was too long so he had to shorten it)

He changes yours to "Gay Panik". He doesn't even wanna give you anything too fancy

When you two finally confess he's really happy for you but doesn't really make a big show about it

Jokingly ask Leo that he doesn't steal his best friend away from him

He knows you'd never shove him aside or anything, he just wants to mess with you a little

All in all he's pretty chill about the whole thing

It gives him hope to eventually find someone at some point (not that he's in a rush, mind you)

#tmnt #tmnt x reader #leonardo x reader #donatello x reader #tmnt donatello #tmnt leonardo #bayverse tmnt #this took so long lmao #sorry bro #but its finally here at least!!

I guess its over now, but it couldn’t have been that bad right?! After all, I’m still here, and you all helped me through it!!

alright this is gonna be messy and im not gonna autocorrect/proofread it but heres the essay on why i loved 2020.... While 2020 was, pretty objectively, one of the worst years for modern humanity. The obvious virus and all its, various strands of natural disasters, impending war threat, gender reveal parties, you get the gist. But i would love to just... look back and see how it treated me. See how it ran :). January/Febuary/March - the months are bunched up cause the least amount of stuff happened in them, but thats not to say that the stuff wasnt... good!!!! After all I met my first online friend (that im still friends with of course) @smilez4milez..! I cannot believe you withstood me for so long tbh........... youve been here the whole time!!!! thats obviously an achievemnt!!! Our circumstances for our meeting do not matter... trust me. April - Got my gender transed and i then id’d as demigirl!! and also had a birthday, i turned a whole year..... i believe this was also the time i... started using discord??? yeah, that sounds right :0) May/June - OOOH WEE DISK HOARD AAAAAAAAA. Ahem, Miles got me into Chuck E. Cheese and the Rock-Afire Explosion, i hold those special interests dear and close to my heart. Around the time i also made friends with @teamgay0tix (<3). Miles decided that he was gonna make an animatronic discord server. Titled the Robot Zone, Miles employed Sarah, Me, and another friendo named Teddy as the moderators. Not long after i met... so so many cool and epic people... uh off the top of my head @worthape, @bahrlee, @boredwiththislifetime, @retrowormz, @knave-woods, @verae. Not all of those were met in May/June but yknow gotta save time >:) and im sure im missing someone gdvhbuydhbdyh. WE UH RP’D AS CEC/RAE CHARACTERS!!!!! THAT WAS FUN :)!!!!!!! I DONT HAVE MUCH ELSE TO SAY AS MAY AND JUNE WERE SIMILAR MOTNHS IN TERMS OF FUN. SYHBDREYS. Oh and my laptop broke! So I was on my iPad for about 3 months!! Also my gender got transed AGAIN!!! I then-ID’d as genderfluid :o). July - HI CASPER @arcadecarpetz!!! THIS WAS THE MONTH WE FIRST MET!!! WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THAT INTERACTION </3. So I got into the beatles late June/early July!! looks at my url lookat how that turned out huh... Other things that happened during this month include... meeting @lovecore-ashe!!!!! I joined a certain discord server for a certain emoji blog we both happened to follow and... July was great i dunno why im being all stingy with the details etvfertyghdb August - Oh boy!! I discovered some cool epic things about myself (Emp knows.)!! got much better in the art department too!! I believe I also made friemnds with @hmmdotjpg here! They’re cool! Otherwise not much actually happened. Oh and @verae I FUCKING LOVE YOU/p September - HA! Here is when I got my shiny new laptop :), and with it i also got into Clone High!! Started to also get into Yellow Submarine, a movie which, I enjoy :). And a certain yellow submarine insta post got me and @arcadecarpetz to meet again!!! Now we’re on much better terms!! heh-. This month I left the Robot Zone, no matter how much it hurt, I simply didn’t want to be there anymore. I had got way too into animatronics and I was... very... very... burnt out. The final days of this month were good, I rewatched Yellow Submarine after a 10-Year Hiatus. It was good! :) October - SPOOK!!! HA!!! -COUGH- So you know how The Beatles like broke up in 1970... yeah i got into one of the bands made after them.... Wings good. I made a few more drawings for arcadecasper that im especially proud of, uh... OH YEAH AND I MADE A KETCHUP PRIDE FLAG FOR EMPRESS!!!!!!!! It is also now my most popular post! Cool!/gen .Two of my friends approached me and said they got into the beatles because of me that was pretty swagchamp. November - All of my memories from this month are MUSH. i literally dont remember what happened <3... oh wait yeah we got hte evil man out of office... that was preddy epic... OH RIGHT DESTIEL- December - My favorite season!! The end of the year was pretty swell. It was like everything good that happened to me was settling, getting cozier, just... being better. Like gently stirring the salt in a soup bowl... okay thats a weird analogy- I got into lemon demon too! And uh very glad i did. cause now i can say that cabinet man wishes you a karkalicious 2009 and i can actually understand it./j And all the lessons from all my friends I (probably indirectly) learnt this year... Like @smilez4milez!! You taught me to always be proud and glad!!! @teamgay0tix you taught me that affection always overpowers hatred. @boredwiththislifetime, no matter what your friend is doing, as long as its not hurting anyone, support them!!! @bahrlee, become a vampire/j. @hmmdotjpg, changing for yourself is more important than becoming someone you arent in front of other people. @worthape i dunno... i... bugs???? Im just glad you were here too :). @retrowormz you kinda just made me funnier!!! @knave-woods bro i literally idolize you tsygvfbsyh. @lovecore-ashe, drink ketchup and dont give a shit about what everyone else thinks/hj!! @verae, !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DUNNO WHAT TO SAY YOURE LITERALLY JUST MY BEST FRIEND GSYHVFTEYWSH and of course, last but most certainly not least, Casper @arcadecarpetz WHERE DO I START ON HOW EPIC AND SWAG AND POGGERS YOU ARE AND HOW GREAT YOU HELPED MAKE THESE LAST FEW MONTHS...

all the musical asks with ummm quentin uwu (kittyandco)

OOHOHOHOHOO YOU SPOIL ME!!!!! >:]

a million miles away: if you could travel anywhere with your f/o, where would you go?

well!!! i think pippa would LOVE to show him her home dimension :’) i think quentin would be passively interested in a “sure kid, whatever you want” kinda way (partially because he is A Bitch, partially because even having a little purple bf isnt quite enough to really sell him on the plausibility of multiverse stuff), but as a man of science he would surely be Blown Away once he gets there and sees it for himself!!!! preddy aleon aes new york.............. yeas.........

mountain duet: how awkward were you and your f/o in the early stages of your relationship?

oh this is FUN. i think theyre awkward at different times for different reasons!!!! pippa is kind of permanently a little Off due to 1) hhhhhhh hot guy, and 2) not quiiiiite grasping this dimension’s customs and cues as well as she’d like to, and neither of those are things that would really go away!!!! sort of a permanently squigglemouth situation

quentin, on the other hand, brings this VERY goofy awkwardness in the form of his whole grift. imagine pretending to be from another dimension because theres NO WAY you can disprove that, only for a whole ass real ass alternate universe spiderman show up in the middle of your whole scheme. immediately his thing becomes a zillion times harder so he’s like. fumbling and rambling in a way that he desperately (and might i add successfully) tries to pass off as Well Gosh, Miss P’rk’r, I’m Just So Nervous Around You Because.... I Like You! so hehhehheh thats fun >:)

suddenly seymour: how does your f/o help you cope with your past? how do you help them?

i KNOW i was drafting a fic about this very question in july 2019 but i cannot remember shit from it. oh well whatever. pippa is all too eager to comfort quentin about his fake past with his fridged family angst, for one thing. she misses her family too! and she knows that isnt quite the same, but, maybe he’d like to open up to her about it all anyway (it’s moments like these where quentin feels Actual Guilt for what he’s doing as far as she’s concerned, but like, extremely briefly. he shakes it off)

cringe moments where im like “okay. now. how would mister beck be Earnestly Kind to me?” and i have to REALLY wrack my brain to come up with anything FHDJFSHDKFDS OKAY WAIT. i think that he would be like. REALLY good at distracting pippa when she’s down??? ooooggghhh it would be really nice if he like set up an illusion specifically for her and they set up times to immerse her in it so she can Forget The Sads!!!!! wahhhh okay men can be nice ONCE

an ordinary couple: what does an ideal future with your f/o look like? do you have a house? pets? kids?

HMMM honestly i havent put much thought into a sustainable long-term dynamic with quentin!!!! and like i use my spidersona for SO many partners im not sure if any one in particular would be interested in settling down??? BUT i think way down the line if pippa is dimension hopping and happens to bump into a certain fishbowl old flame, he would certainly drop whatever he was doing to catch up!!! kind of a permanent I’d Be Down If You Asked Zone situation

what do you mean he Literally dies in the movie??? i cant read. that was still the simulation actually :)

only you: in your eyes, what makes your f/o special?

first of all jake gyllenhaal could do a movie where he just frowns at the camera for 90 minutes straight and i would still watch that shit topless every time. BUT I MEAN!!!! i just think mcu mysterio is such a perfect storm of My Taste!!!! mediocre predictable twist villain (hi, robert)? check. half-baked plan targeting a wealthy elite? check. a sprinkling of sexy misogyny for the boys? CHECK!!!!!!!!!! he does it all. plus i mean.... you make me sit through enough thanos screen time and literally every other man on earth becomes a 10

follow your heart: what have you and your f/o taught each other?

haha. *totally DOESNT fantasize about quentin taking a mentor role and helping pippa get better control of her spider powers* *is absolutely not thinking about pippa, post-mysterio evil reveal, slipping easily into something of a henchman role to coach quentin on lying abt alternate dimensions based on the truths of her real-world experience*

#THANK YOU!!!!!! i love begging for asks and then taking says to answer them but this warmed my heart fr #fo: 🔮barf🔮#si: 👽portal expert👽#txt

Sean Teale - Gay Times Magazine

It’s a tale as old as time: bigoted religious bed and breakfast owners refuse to give a gay couple a double room and have to pay through the nose as a result. Well, it’s a tale as old as 2013 anyway, when it actually happened, inspiring new horror-cum-com.

It’s the case that made headlines: In 2013 gay couple Martyn Hall and Steven Preddy sued Christian bed and breakfast owners Peter and Hazelmary Bull for refusing to let them share a double room and, in what amounted to a triumph for gay rights, the owners were forced to pay damages for unlawful discrimination.

Martyn and Steven’s story tickled the fancy of filmmaker Joe Ahearne, whose new film B&B is a pitch-black horror comedy imagining the return of a fictional couple (in this case militant-minded Marc and his more demure partner Fred) to the Christian-run bed and breakfast that refused them a double bed the previous year.

The writer-director describes it as the leads from Withnail and I checking into the Bates Motel, with the former film’s Paul McGann playing a homophobic B&B owner whose gay son is terrified his secret will be revealed while, thanks to the presence of a foreboding and mysterious Russian guest, the couple fear they’re going to be hunted down.

Signing on as nervy Fred, Sean Teale was impressed by the Shallow Grave/Blood Simpleinspired tone. “It’s a cracking good story with two interesting characters we don’t often see in a thriller,” says the star of Skins and the new X-Men spin-off The Gifted. “I love how it balances scares with comedy and a thoughtprovoking story.”

Lively and outgoing in real life, the 25-yearold actor enjoyed playing the polar opposite, the sort of gay I to Tom Bateman’s Withnail.

“Of the two of them Fred’s the more reserved one,” he says. “Fred wouldn’t bother going back to a B&B that he’d been kicked out of previously. He knows exactly who he is and isn’t ashamed of it, but Marc is the more provocative of the two.”

It’s a very funny, at times really scary thriller but there are serious themes. “I hope audiences have a fun time watching it and that they come away thinking they’d never, ever go to a B&B that bans gay couples,” Sean says drolly, then adds: “But it highlights the prejudice

that still goes on and it’s unfathomable to me, with all the progress that’s been made, how anyone would ever discriminate against others because of their sexuality, their gender, their race or the fact their skin is even slightly lighter or darker.”

Fred is described by Marc as a drama queen, which the actor can definitely relate to. “Just ask my girlfriend or anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you that I absolutely can be a drama queen,” laughs the man who is of Venezuelan, Spanish and Welsh origins. “I think it comes with being an actor, plus my heritage means I’m very passionate. But I’m not squeamish and I love scary movies so I wouldn’t be hiding behind the sofa watching one.”

Best known as Nick Levan on Skins and Prince Condé on Reign, London-born Sean is really in the big league now thanks to a starring role on X-Men spin-off The Gifted. In the Fox TV show, which is set in an alternative universe to the film franchise, he plays Marcos Diaz aka Eclipse – a rebel mutant who turned to drug-smuggling after his parents rejected him.

The actor gets why the X-Men universe has such a strong LGBT+ fanbase. “The X-Men have always been used as a metaphor for social struggles. Instead of just being heroes that everybody admires, they’re victims of other people’s hatred and fear and suspicion purely because they’re different. I feel like that unfortunately resonates with the LGBT+ community because they’re often made to feel that way too when they shouldn’t be due to ignorant, archaic mentalities based on the fear of something unknown.”

Then there’s the outsider theme, with

Sean pondering: “These characters aren’t superheroes donning expensive metal suits or flying crazy vehicles to save the world from an unimaginable evil. They’re mutants not superheroes. They’re human beings who, by no fault of their own, happen to have the X-Gene and are being persecuted solely for being different.

“Our show is sort of a street view look at the X-Men universe and what it feels like to be an outsider on the run in a very dark, strugglefilled world.

“I’m sure at some point all of us have been made to feel like an outsider especially when growing up – I know I certainly did. It made me question a lot of things about myself and it’s quite poisonous, but I’m very fortunate to have the friends and family I have.”

It’s a dream role for Sean who, when asked what he’s most enjoying about the show, says: “Having superpowers doesn’t suck! They actually provide a whole different challenge to filming since so much is put in in post, so I’m relishing that. But with this show it’s not just the action sequences – I’m enjoying exploring the struggles these people are going through personally, and the hispanic side of myself too.”

Talk turns back to B&B and we wonder how Sean would react if, further down the line when and if he has a family, one of his children turned out to be gay? “I’d just want them to tell me. I hope I create a household where my children can be whoever they want to be because it makes no sense to me that anyone should be anyone other than who they are.”

As for if he’s ever had any horrendous bed and breakfast experiences himself, he thinks for a moment then concludes: “I must have had, though I’ve probably blocked them out of my mind. But I do remember one time when I was young staying at one with a bunch of friends and there were these strange tapping noises on the window. I grabbed a poker to fend off whoever or whatever might be making the noise and burned my hand.” He laughs. “You see, I can be a drama queen!”

“It’s unfathomable to me how anyone would ever discriminate against others because of their sexuality, their gender, their race or the fact their skin is even slightly lighter or darker.”
