Unicornteacup24 - ✌🏾Hey Y'all, It's TheUnicorn 🦄 💜🫧🍂

So, I watched "The Man In The Iron Mask". And I liked it. I was invested as soon as I saw Leo! So, here are some of my thoughts and things I like/dislike about it.

- Philippe was so sweet! Freaking loved him Those parts where he stares at the moon were just.... 😭. Him and Athos practicing etiquette was nice. I wish the montage was longer and really showed their father-son bond.

-I was rooting for Raoul even when I realized he wasn't going to make it! I felt bad for Christine. I wish she found out about Philippe. Like, when I watched the trailer, I assumed the switcheroo would happen and Philippe would also end up liking Christine.

-Bruh, Louis was awful (Good job Leo!). When he told Christine she was going to hell, I was like 'damn, Louis savage.' Matter of fact, his whole thing with Christine was messed up. I was here for the switcheroo plot!

-I liked Queen Anne well enough. She didn't get a lot of screen time but, I thought her interaction with Philippe was so nice b/c you know she knows who he is. Someone mentioned her and D'artagnan having an affair, and rethinking helped me see it. Like, I liked their love story just fine. It adds an extra layer of drama.

-I loved when a heartbroken and pissed Athos shows up at the castle, ready and willing to cut b*tches down.

-I thought D'artagnan was interesting. His whole thing with Queen Anne was sweet with implied drama. I mostly liked how his morals are conflicted b/c he's aware that Louis isn't such a great king, but he swore allegiance to the crown.

-I loved the masquerade ball scene.

-The backhand from Louis to Philippe was entertaining and immaculate! (Stop hitting yourself Leo😆)

-The All For One, One For All gunfire charge was ✨perfection ✨.

-Louis getting throat punched was hilarious.

-The opening narration was great. And, I want to learn it

-I kinda wish they did more flashbacks. Like when Philippe talks about being arrested or when the King dies and mentions Philippe, I wish there was a flashback or soundbites to show memories/nightmares/frantic thoughts.

Watched Nimona a few weeks(months as of present) ago b/c Netflix put it free on YouTube and it's so fun!

The voice acting is solid. Had me about to cry twice 😭. I couldn't pinpoint everyone's voices until the end when the credits came up; but, then it clicked. Like 'why does he sound so familiar? Who is that? Oh! That's who that is! No way!' The actors and actresses did a wonderful job ☺️

The animation is so pretty and expressive. You could freeze-frame so many scenes and just stare at it. The backgrounds remind me of watercolor and the characters kinda remind me of paper.

The first escape scene reminds me of the Emperor's New Groove which is a win

(opens split screen so I can look up how to spell characters' names correctly)

I like most of the characters honestly. A lot of their motivations make sense to me in some way.

Nimona is a fun character. I like their carefree approach to stuff which is a nice contrast to Ballister and everyone else they have to face off against. It made the serious scenes more sad and it emphasizes the backstory when you realize exactly what was true about the things they told Ballister on the train. (Them talking about just letting people kill them had me tearing up 😭)

I really like Ballister. He's an underdog. And I was not ready for how this movie was going to kick off! Man JUST got his recognition from the Queen and everyone else who's been doubting him, then it gets destroyed a second later 😱 LIKE 🤬! OKAY THEN! Him and Ambrosius are cute though. On that note...

Ambrosius. I like him well enough. I like how his personal feelings for Ballister come into conflict with his job.

Sidenote: I like how it's done here. You'll see a lot of characters have this conflict but they either just met the other person; or the feelings just got reciprocated. But, since Ballister and Ambrosius are written to be already well established (they have favorite spots and know how each other likes their food) it's more impactful.

I honestly love his fake out scene. It's funny but also nice to see what he honestly thinks about everything happening between him and Ballister and the system they're a part of. Which shows how him and Ballister think alike and why they work as a couple.

But I also kinda wish two things happened in this movie:

Nimona and Ambrosius both mentioned how “cutting off limbs, isn't a love language,” and Ballister acknowledges that's how they're trained to react, but it would've been a nice 3 for 3 mention if Ballister said that when Ambrosius follows him out of the diner/bar. Just throwing it back in his face would've been so good and dramatic!

Ngl I wanted Ambrosius to lose an arm. I feel like it would've been dramatic but also kinda symbolic b/c they both lost an arm b/c of the system they were brainwashed by. Also matching disabled boyfriends!

Todd...🤬 you! No, but I thought Todd died during the final battle. Then he lived. 🤬...no, but honestly Todd was a jock douchebag but he was funny. Plus, I can give him credit for stepping toe to toe with Ambrosius b/c he believes that Ballister is a weak point for him ( which is a fair point).

The Director was terrible. Manipulative and unwilling to see reason. She was frustrating in the best way. Using the prophecy and everyone's fear of the unknown and mob mentality is solid evil. And I was happy for her downfall.

...I mean if I must

heye every one.

...true *sips juice while sitting sideways in a chair*

"you cant make everything gay" bitch??? watch me

Ooh, maybe call it The Partaking? Make it sound epic!

If someone has a different sleeping schedule for whatever reason and they are up at night instead of the day, would their meals still go breakfast and then lunch and then dinner?
