I have been thinking about this for a while, as not only am I a fan of Tom Fisher (as well as having a crush on him teehee 🤭), but I’ve also seen Tom Fisher in other films aside from “Holy Flying Circus” (2011) and from what I’ve seen so far he’s absolutely great fr, especially as the Leading Man!! Plus I personally think he’s definitely an underrated actor and deffo think he should be in more things frfr!!

However, since I have ADHD and also never managed a second account before, I don’t know how I’ll handle that kinda thing. HOWEVER however, I am willing to at least try to do a second account, cuz it’s better to at least attempt to do smth rather than not do smth or whatever, ya’know?

Anyway hope you enjoyed reading this lil ramble of mine, and again do let me know your thoughts on this as I really wanna know! Also cuz I’m kinda excited by the prospect of starting a second blog!!

Once upon a time, aeons ago, my father had a one volume paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings. I took it to read.

More recently, but only just, he borrowed several DVDs from me and my (now ex-)husband, including Shanghai Noon and its sequel.

I never got the movies back. The book sits on my shelf to this day.

I got the better deal by far.

Okay so,

I was inspired to spell out some comparisons/similarities me and a few other Jedtavius fandom-goers made years ago back when the fandom was much more dead. At the time I had called it the "Jedtavius Circle" but I feel like there's a better name for it out there somewhere

So, I made a venn diagram to show all the weird similarities these films have with each other, and how I feel they are personally connected in a way that is so unique.

Since the image and the writing may be hard for some to access and not all the details I'd like to add will fit in the image, I will also do my best to explain these comparisons in text:

There are three films/franchises being compared here with their respective mlm ships:

1. Night at the Museum (Jedtavius)

2. Around the World in 80 Days (2004) (Phileas Fogg x Passepartout)

3. Shanghai Series (Shanghai Noon, Shanghai Knights) (Roy O' Bannon x Chon Wang)

What Night at the Museum and Around the World in 80 Days share is that they both have characters played by Steve Coogan that have implied or coded romantic connection or ships with another main character, that other character played by one of the other two actors listed.

What Night at the Museum and the Shanghai Series have in common is the exact same, except instead of Steve Coogan being shared by these films we have Owen Wilson.

And, much the same, for Around the World in 80 Days & Shanghai Noon/Knights we have the same comparison as for the other two (implied romantic connection and/or is commonly shipped with a character played by another one of these actors mentioned) this time with Jackie Chan.

But get this: something all these films share is that they are queer-coded or implied silly little historical comedies from the 2000s, which on top of everything else, links these films to one another in a way that I haven't seen in any other media before.

(Another fun fact mentioned in the diagram: Owen has a cameo in Around the World, technically meaning he was in all three films. This cameo is also believed to be where Owen & Steve first met.)

This is something that is still so cool to me and I never hear it talked about. Please feel free to share your thoughts or questions!
