Legit what they did with Reggie and Vinh should've been the how they did "romance element" in DE, namely DON'T make it about it Max. Have her able to play wingwoman for others, like it'd actually have shaken up the usual "MC has 2 romance interests" to instead being about having the ability to set people up (Star Ocean 2 style). But I fully stand on the idea that it wasn't about keeping the "romance element", it was about. Decknine again wanting to shove out the non-traditional, punk-rock, abrasive, take-no-shit, badass futch lesbian icon to shove in their own preferences. I keep getting more and more "this COULD have worked but they intentionally did it the wrong way" (y'know when not getting royally pissed off at the character assassinations). It really is like they took the comics and completely failed to comprehend why they were good, hence the comics nailing things while DE utterly fails at it. Chloe and Max separate in both: Comics = A shown on-screen scene where its for Max's sake as she's being torn between branches of the multiverse and LiS1-Chloe encourages her to go out and find where she feels she belongs; showing Chloe's survivor's guilt but NOT a single damn notion of blame being put on Max; her hoping that Max will come back to her in the end; having Max go through a whole ass journey that involves dealing with her trauma; having a gay/bi side-kick in Tristian that has his own romance with a different character as he's helping Max; Victora and Chloe being light friends; facing the Storm that is a collection of all the tears/scars in the universe that Max caused with her Rewinds vs. Chloe deciding offscreen to leave Max over a damn letter and saying having it put forward that its cause she's too "free spirited"; Max's trauma that is barely touched on; lacking romance interests being pushed to try to override the iconic LGBT+ pair (and utterly failing) including a male option that can have a romance other than Max but also has the option with Max cause ofc; Safi who is a powered friend that goes villain; Victoria and Chloe depending on how one reads it potentially fucking flirting (in what fucking world); and the Storm is suddenly something that can be caused by anyone with powers. Like even the supporting cast is like mirrors with the band in the comics vs. the Caledon people.

The Crown: 10 Hidden Details About The Main Characters Everyone Missed


The whole point of the Netflix historical drama, The Crown, is to shed light on the hidden details of some of the most public figures of the 20th century: The Royal Family. So much of the series details the backdoor conversations, scandals, and controversies that plagued the denizens of Buckingham Palace, not to mention those in 10 Downing street and beyond.

RELATED: The Crown: 10 Things To Know Before Watching Season 3

That being said, there is a lot left to be uncovered about the actors who brought these main characters to life. While audiences might know a good deal about the real royals, it's their fictional counterparts and performers where the secrets lie.

10 Churchill Was Much Shorter Than John Lithgow

The visage of Sir Winston Churchill is unmistakable. The stare, underbite, hunch, and accessories have become signature aspects of the iconic figure. The task of bringing such a figure to life is daunting, to say the least. Luckily, American actor John Lithgow's performance is a knockout, capturing the former Prime Minister in all his flaws and accolades.

One thing that most audiences might not realize though is the sharp differences between the two men. For one thing, John Lithgow is way taller than Sir Winston Churchill, clocking in at 6'4" while the prime minister was a measly 5'6". Because of this, the recognizable front door of 10 Downing Street had to be increased in size to a ridiculous amount, to keep the portrayal accurate.

9 Churchill Had A Specific Accent

Almost more iconic than his appearance is Churchill's voice. The gravelly yet nasally accent of Winston was one of the first immediately recognized the world over thanks both to the increasingly common use of radio, and Churchill's boisterous personality.

Lithgow had to delve deep to capture the iconic voice. The voice coach on the production assisted all of the actors, not just Lithgow. This was due to the ever-changing British Accent through the decades. Lithgow took it one step further though, stuffing cotton up his nostrils to assist in his vocal characterization.

8 The Age Gap Between Elizabeth And Margaret

Some of the best casting in the series has to go to the duo behind bringing both Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret to life: Claire Foy and Vanessa Kirby. This duo couldn't feel more opposite, with one portraying the practical queen and the other the royal radical.

RELATED: 10 TV Shows That Were Incredibly Expensive To Make

The two give some of the best performances in the series. What many fans might not know though is they share an aspect of the real sisters' relationship. Claire Foy is four years older than Kirby, which is also the same age gap between the real Elizabeth and Margaret.

7 Churchill Was The Only British Character To Be Portrayed By An American

When it comes to the British series, there are scant Americans to be found. If the role can be filled by a Brit, they will almost always fill it.

While there are Americans throughout the series, Michael C. Hall as JFK for example, only one played a British figure from history. John Lithgow, the beloved American actor, brought Winston Churchill to life. While many fantastic Brits had done so in the past, this Yank did one of the best.

6 The Duke Of Windsor Or The Prince Of Wales?

The Duke of Windsor is one of the most divisive figures in the history of the royal family. Not only did he bring it shame after abdicating the throne for a divorced woman, but he also brought a storm of controversy when his Nazi connections were uncovered.

Alex Jennings brought the disgraced prince to life in the Netflix series, embodying the elitism and complications behind the figure. But, it is not the only royal figure that Jennings has played. He also portrays Prince Charles in Peter Morgan's The Queen. Morgan is the lead writer of The Crown, so it's no wonder there is a bit of spillover in the casting department.

5 Vanessa Kirby Almost Didn't Get To Play Margaret

It is hard to imagine anyone else playing Princess Margaret at this point (even though we can't wait to see Helena Bonham Carter take on the role in Season 3). But, Vanessa Kirby almost lost the part due to some bad skincare choices.

During her screen test, Kirby had applied self-tanner to her ankles. Later, during her audition, she had changed into a skirt that showed off more of her leg, along with the tan lines. The choice almost cost her the job according to Peter Morgan, since it was beyond distracting.

4 Are Those Real Cigarettes?

One of the defining features of Margaret's appearance is her constant smoking. Where Elizabeth is strictly refined, embodying a rigid and disciplined personality, Margaret is the exact opposite. Margaret is the image of 20th-century beauty and sophistication.

RELATED: 5 Movies Netflix Saved From Development Hell (& 5 Movies We Hope They Save)

From her outfits to her smoking, she is that aesthetic. Only one issue: Kirby doesn't smoke. To keep the aspect included, Kirby smoked herbal cigarettes. This is a fairly common practice. Since smoking is less common nowadays, many actors have to use false cigarettes for may period pieces.

3 Elizabeth & Phillip Had Particular Ways Of Speaking

If Winston Churchill's voice is recognizable, The Queen's is iconic. Nearly anyone can do a decent impersonation of the Queen, embodying an aristocratic aura in a pretty hokey English accent. But to actually capture her definite speech patterns, the cast needed the help of William Conacher.

Conacher, who also assisted Helen Mirren in Peter Morgan's play The Audience, had a specific challenge for Foy and Matt Smith. Even with simple terms such as was, the pair struggled to capture the definite mannerisms. The large vowels, in particular, were a specific challenge.

2 Too Many Queens

It seems like everyone thinks that Britain only has a handful of actors who appear in every single show and film. Well, The Crown certainly doesn't help against that statement. All of The Crown's royal queens have almost all played queens in previous projects.

Claire Foye herself played Anne Boleyn in the series Wolf Hall, wife to Henry VIII. Victoria Hamilton, who portrays the Queen Mother on The Crown, also played Queen Victora in Victoria and Albert, while Eileen Atkins played Queen Mary of Teck before in Bertie and Elizabeth. This tradition will continue with the inclusion fo Olivia Colman, who won the Oscar for her portrayal as Queen Anne in The Favourite.

1 The King Looked A Little Too Sick

One of the most heartbreaking arcs of the series was the slow death of King George VI. The late king died from a battle with laryngeal cancer, one which debilitated his ability to speak. Jared Harris portrayed the monarch on the series, adding a deft and subtlety to the role.

Harris took method acting to a whole other level though with his portrayal. When playing the sick monarch, Harris was suffering from a terrible cold, adding a bit of reality to his ill performance.

Shop the top 6 sunglasses trends of the summer

In celebration of National Sunglasses Day, on June 27,  Yahoo Lifestyle has sorted out the six hottest shades trends of the summer, all modeled by stylish celebrities.

Sunglasses may have originally been meant for practical purposes, but they’ve obviously become just as much — if not more — of a fashion symbol. Take, for example, the season’s biggest breakout eyewear trend: tiny sunglasses. They are almost completely impractical, but that hasn’t stopped fashionistas such as Kylie Jenner, who sported a pair on the Met Gala red carpet earlier this year.

But it’s not just about tiny sunglasses. Kaia Gerber is helping reinvigorate the retro ovals made famous by Kurt Cobain, while Gigi Hadid is helping jumpstart sporty eyewear, a style bolstered recently by an appearance at runway shows of Rihanna‘s Fenty Puma as well as Louis Vuitton.

Sunnies can be, after all, a reflection of personalities and moods, such as with Victoria Beckham‘s who recently launched line of “It’s a dark, but happy place” collection. “You could say I’m slightly obsessed with sunglasses — I never leave the house without a pair,” Beckham tells Elle. “When I’m wearing sunglasses, I like to joke that I’m in my ‘dark but happy place’. There’s always the hope that wearing sunglasses will encourage the sun to shine, too… living with the British weather, you have to be optimistic you know!’

Above, shop 36 sunglasses that will surely suit your summer mood and style, as inspired by Kylie, Kaia, Gigi, and more.
