It’s actually… insulting. Like they are basically slapping us with “this is happening, we don’t have an explanation, just watch the damn movie and get us paid” without even the decency of trying to hide it. That line didn’t have to be in there. It revealed nothing, it provided no character development… it was literally just there to admit that the film really is as bad as you think.
That line is there to make sure you revise your expectations downwards
Join our Jerusalem Delivered readalong club (well, ‘s in Polish, but we can do posts in English, too). ;) It’s SW or MCU of 16th century Europe and it has all the tropes, no deconstruction, no antis in sight, so no worries, ALL CLICHES and TROPES, three foe-yay romances if I count right, two women-warriors, one powerful sorceresses, magic, action, romance, crusades aka war in the background - SW ST and most of our current popculture seem not progressive, but pretty stale compared to it. To not say regressive, because Italy/Europe at the beginning of the 16th century were hardly a centre of the world, more like backwater place, but with ambitions and on the rise. :D power dynamics looked very different than Disney’s…
Whatever one wants from tropey popculture, Tasso has one covered. :D
Aka Fili decided to throw away modern popculture. No more popculture (but stole The Mandalorian. but it’s good, so it’s alright), Disney SW broke me. Coronavirus and the streaming of culture and art it allowed is perfect for it. I’ve just watched a great, slashy ;) ballet adaptation of Anna Karenina, I’m going to watch some theatre and them some opera, read 16h century SW, perhaps watch actual high art SW aka OT, and have fun. No more contemporary popculture, especially in English. Dixit. (perhaps some video games will sneak through). XD ;)
Ha! I’m glad you’ve found a new fandom that you can love :) I seem to have fallen out of fiction altogether and my new ‘fandom’ is gardening/permaculture. So I’m spending all my time in the garden or watching videos about when to prick out my peas or whatever. I have read The Goblin Emperor three times, which I very much enjoyed. But even that I don’t feel fannish about. My mental internal running monologue of stories has totally shut off. It’s very peculiar. Hopefully the drive to write/read fiction will come back at some point, but it can wait a few years while I turn my garden into a food forest ;)
