#snowpiercer rewatch

[afaintcloudyhaze]

Oh my god we are actually getting a final season 4 of snowpiercer i thought it would never happen 😭💜

[julesnichols]

Quick question guys, does this look like Melanie's praying?

[brandycranby]

Hi Brandy! 🩷 Who is your least favorite Chris Evans character/least favorite movie of his? 🤔

oooo so i havent watched all of his films so any opinion i have is based on what other ppl have said slash my impression from gifs/fics

least favorite character: me from playing it cool (like a testosterone and morally deficient curtis 🤨) why is his facial hair situation so tragic?? why doesn't he just find a therapist and stop his circle of self destruction?? who and which incel wrote the plot??

honestly, playing it cool might be my least favorite movie too, let me think about it.... yeah, it's just terrible. i think if i actually watched it, id be frothing at the mouth

he is adorable in drag tho, the only good part

[girlpog]

I wish more people saw Snowpiercer so we could poor little meow meowify this woman

SAM OTTO in SNOWPIERCER ( s01e03 )

[hypnowave]

what is ur icon. explain

taron egerton as elton john in Rocketman (2019) because that movie fundamentally altered my brain chemistry when i first watched it. i've been listening to elton john since i was a little kid and i think i watched the movie at least 3 times in theatres lmao

the first time i watched it it had been dubbed in spanish and i was still getting used to the language so i missed some of the most gut-wrenching moments like when elton's mother mocked him and said "you'll never be loved properly" just because he was gay. when i finally watched it in english it was like AUGH

anyways i love this movie. i love the songs i love the outfits i love the cinematography i love taron egerton and jamie bell so so so much

Ruthie rewatches: Season One, Episode One (part one)

Here have a stream of consciousness as I watch. Had so much to say that I'm cutting off halfway through the episode because it's taken me an hour and a half to get this far.

Ohhh the animated intro! I forgot about this. I remember first watching this and being enthralled. Fucking love the art and the transition to live action.

Baby Miles… Oh. This scene fucks me up more every time. His dad and sibling being left outside??? Let me tell you that has killed me now we have K2.

Yeah yeah Layton is already boring sorry. Do love the face he pulls at Grey though. Feel kinda bad for Grey, there's zero redemption for him he's just straight up bad guy.

Can I take a minute to appreciate the intro? I'm in love with the blueprints and I wish there existed a full version (not that that would work given the amount of disbelief we have to suspend).

What is the thing on the engine room door? I keep trying to work it out, it doesn't look like a standard W or anything.

Aw yiss boss lady emerges!

We get a shot of a jumble of paperwork on a messy desk and then the booth itself is neat and spotless. 100% the desk is Melanie's and no one can touch it but Ruth cleans the booth.

Also there's a Dell laptop. Strange mix of tech on this show and we see surprisingly little of it.

Perfectly central and still shot of Melanie in uniform. The crisps lines. The colouring. Yes.

Melanie has sensible nails. Only one possible explanation for that, clearly. Gay.

Our introduction to the train… classroom is cool but confusing. It seems the number of children is quite small and a broad age range but all the work and art seems to be primary level. There must be at least one more classroom. Third class. Tail. Watch the colour seep out of shots.

Something about measuring days since departure. I love it but surely that would be so depressing. Every day it's "everyone you know in the world died x days ago. Praise Wilford"

The balls on Josie. The swagger on Till!!

So we've got Josie the vet being the closest thing we have to a doctor in the Tail but here's an extra who clearly knows how to use a stethoscope. We won't ever see her again.

Strong Boy my lad!! What a character. Not sure who's hairbrained idea it was to give up rations for one (1) super-soldier (mediocre grade). Probably Layton's.

Why isn't Miles as bedraggled as the other kids? He's not only clean but smiley too. Layton proximity powers.

Pike with hair! I have no love for the character but really starting to appreciate Steven Ogg's acting.

13 Arms. How many nightmares did Ruth have that night huh. The sound of shattering frozen flesh rings a little like champagne glasses, doesn't it? How many times did she relive that day setting up for First Class dinners. Forgive me I am 8 minutes in and already daydreaming about her.

Mama Grande… Miss you babe.

"I don't want you on the front line tomorrow" uhh I'm sorry Mr Layton but who do you think you are. Leave Miss Balls of Steel Josie alone she doesn't need your patronising bullshit. Oh wait, kiss/cuddle/domesticity. Eh. Let you off then.

OHHHH TIME FOR THE BEST SCENE IN THE WHOLE SERIES. MAMA GRANDE SING IT. This scene is honestly breathtaking. The song, the prayer, the weapons, the togetherness.

"Wilford's train is a fortress to class" excellent line is excellent.

God the faces shown here. Knowing they're going to be ripped from us. Not all at once but. Most of them.

Melanie at the steps to first class dining… they mirror this shot in s3 and it's such a great call back.

How does she walk in those heels? My feet hurt just looking at them.

Iguana time!

Incredible variety of food at breakfast time considering the delicate balance of the food system.

Gay dad time!

Throwing in Melanie speaking Cantonese to remind us she's SuperSmartGeniusGirl

First shot of my most specialist blorbo!! She looking so fine.

Look how in step Melanie and Ruth are. The mirroring! The eyelash flutter. Gay.

Also obsessed with the difference in cut between their uniforms. I wonder if the rest of hospitality have their uniforms tailored to body shape too.

Lilah, baby, they invented the sauna. They can be nakey and sing songs. It's OK. Bodies are natural.

LJ with the sunglasses. Girl who packs sunglasses to get on a train travelling forever through a perpetual winter wasteland? Iconic. Her fashion is so baby gay here. Bi LJ is basically canon right?

Why does Melanie turn to look at Ruth like she's staring into her soul. Gay.

OH NO. Eye flutters to Lilah now. Super gay.

TRACK TALK. For every ounce that @train-pirate hates it I double down on loving it. I'm keeping it. I'm going to say it to you all the time. Track talk.

Arm touch arm touch! Gay.

Walking brushing against each other! Gayer.

Fixed stare open mouth. Even gayer.

Eye lash flutters. Getting gayer.

"Excuse to wear your fur" + tongue click. GAYEST. WE HAVE REACHED PEAK GAY. THESE BITCHES FUCKING IT'S CONFIRMED.

Back to the Tail. Has anyone checked Pike can actually count? The man's just throwing up fingers he has no idea. Also look buddy. It's the woman you're gonna bang once and die for. Started from the bottom didn't ya.

Alison has confirmed it's a faux fur. So I can have a clear conscience about the way I'm looking at Ruth in it, right? ✨Respectfully✨

Alison my beloved. Pick an accent. I love it.

Tristan! Baby.

Ruth does not have the gay nails. Pillow princess.

I know we get this decontamination scene to see Layton dehumanised but they are not consistent with it at all. The jackboots and brakeman have no infectious disease control protocols so what's the point?

The subtrain seems set up for engineering/maintenance purposes but they talk about it later like whole swathes of people use it. Do you think it was designed like that or did people start using it as a shortcut after departure and Melanie couldn't stop it?

Okay I've gotta give it to DD his acting of a hungry man facing his favourite food is really great. I don't understand grilled cheese and tomato soup though. Shit tier food combination.

Okay so there's been debate about how Osweiller came to be a Brakeman and the consensus is he joined W security before the freeze. But the way Roche phrases it here "most of us were Wilford security. Some were… soccer players?" makes it very much seem he wasn't. Os is smart and resourceful but I so wanna know how he got in.

Ohhhhh Miles calling Josie mom. Crush my heart why don't you.

"yall got some serious problems up in here" Sassboy Layton. And the face he gives Osweiller. Okay DD you're winning again.

"What about his… Um…dick?" spoken like a true lesbian Bess Till.

Footie jokes. Just bantz innit.

"smooth relations". Girl. You're so awkward.

Melanie's eye contact is so strong. Forceful even. Unusually long. Autie vibes for sure, that's learned behaviour and masking and overthinking. Just doesn't look as creepy when you have a face like JC's.

… How does never-left-the-Tail Layton know what the Drawers are? He just rolls with it.

To be continued…

[brandycranby]

yes!! im also going through his filmography slowly, it's fun to see stuff i only caught in passing before i got into him

I'm starting a project of watching CEvans filmography, at least the ones that have the characters that the fandom is drooling over.

If I do it, I'll put one hashtag on all of it so those who don't want it on their dash can easily block it!

WHY is there a man dressed in full cowboy regalia on the middle of this apocalypse hell train

[missaudreystiara]

Rewatching 4x02 on a streaming link after having only seen it on VTMGo… and there’s a whole chunk of the Mel/Ben scene where they’re discussing plans to retrofit Snowpiercer so that it can carry out Millius’s team’s mission that just isn’t in the Belgian version 🙈🙈

It adds so much context? Wild that they’ve cut it for that platform at least!

[ninthprime]

so i decided to take notes while rewatching snowpiercer season 1 and it got away from me

which is to say

too big for tumblr, it had to go on docs. i was going to take worldbuilding/timeline notes for…future purposes and it turned into a liveblog instantly, but i liked some of the things i noticed, so you can all have it. contains: me misremembering when nearly every character first appears, javi being right counter, trying to figure out what jinju’s job is, hospitality does every job on this train, mel and ben started a cult, and a surprising amount of accidental foreshadowing. now if you’ll excuse me i’m going to think about big alice now

[asettledsky]

Been rewatching the Snowpiercer TV series lately. I gotta wonder how things might've been different if Melanie had decided she could trust Ruth and told her about Wilford not being on the train.

Like.... Ruth clearly had enough loyalty to Melanie that she went and told her when 1st class was trying to depose her, instead of just taking them up on it. And like, they were both customer service workers together for years, that forms pretty solid bonds.

If Melanie had maybe broken down and told Ruth after the first tailie rebellion, do you think Ruth would have been on her side? Do you think Melanie would have respected her enough to let her help when Layton got too close to the truth?

Just an interesting thought.

A wild tag appeared

Tagged by: @scottxlogan (Thanks for the tag!)

Last song: Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

Favorite color: I tend to hate this question because I generally love all colors equally, but right now, I'm learning toward a lot of green, esp deeper ones, and blues, also deeper ones. I'm always drawn toward black and yellow together.

Currently watching: Rewatching the Snowpiercer series from the start (just finished season 1) so that I'll have it refreshed in my mind once I have all of the 4th and final season, which I'm specifically interested in because of Clark Gregg being in it.

Last movie: Uhhhh. Horse Girl (2020), which I probably never would've watched even though I generally like Allison Brie. But Aaron Stanford posted this pic of him playing Hades (he was a character in a series that Brie's character was obsessed with) - he was in exactly 2 tiny scenes, sadly, because look how fucking hot he was in it!

Relationship status: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! What relationship?

Current obsession: Marvel stuff, autumn (I hate Texas heat), writing, the beach (I wish I could get back to it), tea, coffee, apparently eating all the damned food I keep mentioning in my fanfics.

Last thing I googled: "young adult novel where the teens' dreams are recorded and they can be punished for what they dream." Needless to say I didn't find what I was looking for.

Tagging: @kleenexwoman, @mistressofmuses, @soliloquent-stark, @whinysteve, @kandisheek, @satirickitty, @chaoticgardenbread, @scottcyclopssummers, @fohatic and anyone else who wants to play!

[pupkinpumpkin]

Bro I was rewatching the Tim Burton Willy Wonka movie (just to get it out here and now, Tim Burton's is my favorite Wonka movie cause I grew up with it, but Gene Wilder is the best Wonka in my eyes followed closely by Christian Borle) and I was thinking of how utterly disappointed I am going to be with the new Wonka movie

Now you may think I'm going to be disappointed because of Timothée Chalamet being Wonka and because it's a cheap cash grab, and you're sort of right about that

Timothée Chalamet is a good actor, but he's not insane enough to play the iconic role as other Tumblr users have put it, and it is most likely a story that has no heart in it, but that's not the main reason I'm upset with it

The original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie is about Charlie, while the 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about Wonka, so I think it is incredibly insulting that they do not continue this joke and make the new Willy Wonka movie all about Charlie

You think I'm joking but I'm not

I mean, the movie probably has no heart whatsoever, so why not at least make it a shitty sequel and let us keep joking about the mix up? The movie could be about Charlie trying to live up to Willy Wonka's image, balancing work and home life, the stresses of OSHA violations, building a gigantic classist train for when the world freezes over and starting to use kids from the poorest and most overpopulated part of the train to keep it running after all the needed tools have been used throughout the years (go see the Snowpiercer theories on YouTube for that last one)

One could argue that Timothée Chalamet could make a much better older Charlie than a Wonka and he looks slightly like that kid in the Tim Burton version.

Kinda.

Im actually not all that good at recognizing facial features, so someone can correct me on that if they look literally nothing alike

But the point is, it's a better option, at least to me, than what they have now and will try and do after they (hopefully) give writers and actors what they deserve if they aren't that big of assholes

Literally all they need to do is strike it and reverse it

I'm not saying I want an older Charlie movie, but I at least want to keep the joke running, and the fact it's gonna get ruined for a movie that has a high possibility of being shit is really annoying to me

Anyway, night

Snowpiercer S4-Finale-Thoughts

So these two are a couple now I guess? Oz and Boki? Never would have seen that coming!

These two and Roche were probably my favorites all season. I like Daveed Diggs but I'm sorry Layton, I didn't really care about his baby or his baby mama. Although Zarah did not deserve to die.

Neither did Ben. That was a sad way to go, especially with Bess realizing too late what he was planning to do. She probably feels guilty about it, I'm sure.

The lack of Melanie this season was fine with me, although I feel like the storyline as a whole this season lagged a little bit. Particularly at the times where it was focused on Melanie, Wilford, and Nima.

The guys in the white suits were cool, but I feel like fleshing out their personalities was probably cast aside since there weren't going to be any new seasons.

Overall, the ending message of this show was rather positive, and I really like that! Better than some endings when I compare it to the endings of some of my other favorite shows like The 100 and The Umbrella Academy (imo,The 100, should have ended with everyone dead. TUA should have ended happily instead of delivering a message of "better if you didn't exist")

I would place Snowpiercer's ending level with the ending of Animal Kingdom, although Animal Kingdom was very much a bitter sweet ending. So they're kind of polar opposites in that matter but how things were wrapped up were done in a timely and neat manner.

I will probably rewatch this show I liked it so much. And I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something to watch---when I first started watching it and stopped using it as background noise, I got hooked real quick!
