Mike Flanagan Will Make A Series About A Haunted House, Childhood Trauma, Add In Some Long Ass Monologues

Loving that the obi wan Kenobi show is setting up that Obi wan literally outsourced leia’s rescue in a new hope to Luke because it was such a pain in the ass the first time round 😂

I relate to Steven Grant, because I too, am a coping mechanism for a mentally ill forty year old man

This has definitely been pitched before, but petition for a remake of les miserables where everyone is a muppet except Javert

The way I wept every time Rockets friends were onscreen knowing it could only end in tragedy.

Jukebox musicals are the lowest form of art confirmed

How dare the Joker 2 be a jukebox musical. We were rooting for you, buddy.

I think the thing that’s really striking about the got books as opposed to the show is the way Martin never shies away from how physically damaged everyone is left. In the show Tyrion gets a badass scar but in the books he looses half his nose, Briennes teeth are broken and a chunk of her face is literally bitten out. Theon looks like an old man, his body is completely wrecked -

But they’re still not beyond hope. Their stories don’t finish with the horrible things that happen to them, their scars and deformities, they go on, and it’s not pretty and tragic and romantic like a story

And that’s the whole point.

Every single book in the series makes a point about how violence and war is romanticised in literature and history and Martin makes his character a living testament to the reality of war, the ugliness, the trauma, and that depth is just another thing that got glossed over in the show where people stay pretty and everything that made the books special is watered down.

Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.

Some of you are too afraid to admit this but we all know Star Wars works best when it goes full soap opera

Kaos being cancelled rlly sucks and I’m sad we don’t see the continuation of the story but lord in heaven how do you make Orpheus Chris Martin when hozier was right there yearning and trying to bury himself, ascending to a higher plane of existence, viewing all his past lives, realising he is in fact the reincarnation of Orpheus and meanwhile Chris Martin is probably out there making a salad without dressing

Sometimes a family is just you, your emo wizard husband, the child he’s adopted, a dog that may or may not be a spy, a literal fire demon, and the geriatric witch trying to eat said husbands heart

No, but I don’t think you understand, I don’t need therapy I have studio ghibli
