I miss my bf (he's a fictional character)
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST PHOTO HE LOOKS PISSED
now that s4 has been announced as the last season of tua i think true poetic cinema would be if there was an alone now dance scene again in the series finale but instead of dancing in separate rooms with varying degrees of mutual resentment the whole family and everyone it’s expanded to include are dancing together and there's so much love and laughter you can feel it through the screen
4*TOWNIE RISE UP⭐️
It’s very likely the pair could have killed both Maureen and Sidney on that same night but they didn’t. Yes it’s possible Sidney only lived because they needed a witness and alibi but i find the thought they kept her alive just to torment her so much more interesting and plausible. Think about it: these two fucked up losers don’t shut up about movies for the entire movie ( or at least billy doesn’t ). Hell billy brings up movies in comparison to life the first time he’s on screen at the beginning of the movie with the whole “our dating seems like a pg13 movie” spiel. Fuck he even brings the movie thing back up when Sidney’s talking about the trauma her mothers murder put her through. Like this man is obsessed. Then this nerd has Stu fake kill him just so he can put on this whole dramatic scene that he probably rehearsed in his mirror. He’s so dramatic like that man was committed, rolling down the stairs and everything. Then AGAIN, literally just after he shot someone he QUOTES PYSCHO AND MENTIONS CARRIE. These two are losers who made their own scary movie with their killings to fulfill whatever power fantasy they had and it literally drives me insane.
I think one of the most interesting things about Arcane was that, for an action tv show, it surprisingly managed to go without glorifying that violence.
There's a tendency of action media to lean into the fight scenes, to let us glorify in the violence. Look what they can do, look what they can be. And Arcane had those moments, of course, but it never let us dwell on them. Even in the first episode, every single time a blow was struck it told us that was inherently a tragedy. The first fight takes place and we cheer for our heroes until we take a look from Jinx's eyes and see she's horrified by the violence. That's why all the blood and bruises and broken teeth in the show mean so much, because the camera stops and makes us look.
The only fight that managed to stay calm and smooth all the way through was the Firelight's first attack on the blimp, before Jinx came out with guns blazing. And they were, notably, not there to fight. They came in fast, immobilized the hostiles without trying to harm them, and focused on the Shimmer. That wasn't a fight, it was a prevention. And it was the only one that managed not to carry that taint of tragedy.
The Jinx and Ekko fight was a battle between two champions with amazing abilities and an upbeat soundtrack. We were hyped for it, we adored it. And then it shows us the two of them as children, different shots juxtaposing the man and woman each of them became with the round-faced child that they used to be. When Ekko has Jinx on the ground at his mercy, face bleeding and eyes panicked, we can't glory in it. Because he stops to realize that this used to be his friend, and so do we. There was no triumph in that fight. He won, he faltered, and she blew them both up.
Jayce and Vi's fight was what we'd always been waiting for: the final use of Hextech in a battle. And it broke his heart. He killed a child there. When Vi announced she was keeping the gauntlets any lesser show would have had them fight, just to have the demonstration. Look at them, they're powerful, look at what they can do against each other. Instead Arcane had him walk away.
Even in the final moments of the episode, we never got the Vi vs. Jinx fight. Because that was her sister and there was no violence there, only grief. It was about love and family and being able to heal something that was broken and finding out that no, she couldn't fix it. Violence wasn't what either of them wanted and of course it's not what we got.
For an action series to demonstrate over and over that once it comes to blows, no one wins...it's shocking to me how they managed to do that. But time and time again we saw characters come to blows and our hearts broke every time.
I get crazy every time I think of Dimitri and Clive LIKE....what did their relationship mean to each other
I know Clive probably saw Dimitri as someone he could manipulate and maybe there wasn't anything deeper than that, BUT WHAT ABOUT DIMITRI?.....
Did he see Clive as a friend? Just a colleague?.......I am going crazy did he even feel the slightest bit betrayed by Clive????
The whole situation got sweeped under the rug what is this imagine being Dimitri and you go "yeah lessgoo let's work with this dude" and then it turns out he was using you for some schemes and then even says "and I thought scientists were supposed to be observant "
I'd be so sad, but no Dimitri was just standing there like "Cant have shit in fake Future London."
What is this I am going CRAZY please tell me I'm not the only one feeling this way over Dimitri and Clive like oh my god I am going BONKERS....
