Les Misérables West End Concert: First look at pictures of Alfie Boe, Michael Ball and Carrie Hope Fletcher

[ramblesofraven]

So a few months ago I asked this girl out. She said she couldn't because she was bisexual and I of course said that this doesn't matter to me. Then she clarified that she means that she is attracted to girls only from July to December and if I wanted to we could meet up in July. I thought she was messing with me but she did call me two weeks ago and we have been dating ever since. And I checked her social media and yeah she only dates girls for half an year. I am baffled. Have you heard of this?

In-Depth Analysis of All You Wanna Do

Katherine’s very confident and peppy at the beginning of All You Wanna Do, but her energy and cheekiness notably go downhill. When she starts on about Manox (I hope that’s spelled right, also legit he was 10 years older than her?? and she was 13??) she literally was taught from that young age that she was desirable and that’s real screwed up. Katherine is just searching for the right connection at first, she sees it as something trustworthy and something to try and build a relationship on. And may I say that Aimie Atkinson’s comedic timing is on point?

When she gets to Dereham, she kind of realizes that men are willing to do a lot to get in bed with her, but she’s still desperate for a true connection and spark. She just keeps hoping that each guy will be the one, but she’s naive because she doesn’t see that they don’t actually want her, they only want her body.

She starts to work in the court, and then Henry VIII (the turd) happens. At first, Katherine’s just using his interest to fuel her career, which honestly, is valid, but then he takes a special shine to her. He starts giving her preferential treatment and endearments, and by this time, she’s realized that almost all the guys she’s dealt with are the same in this aspect. At this point in the song, she starts losing her enthusiasm. It becomes something that’s been drilled into her for years, that she’s wanted and an object of lust.

After Katherine marries Henry, she seeks comfort in her first mentioned “friend,” Thomas, and is elated that they’re only friends. The illusion is shattered when he says the key phrase, they have “a connection,” and her world falls to pieces. Here’s where we can get a glimpse of Aimie’s talented vocals in action, because during the rest of the song, every note is on pitch, but she just breaks down in the last chorus. It’s terribly sad and angry, but it’s just breathtaking. Katherine’s reached that breaking point where she realizes that this cycle will never change for her, and that is where the song (and sadly her life) ends.

STOP 👏🏻 SEXUALISING 👏🏻 KATHERINE HOWARD 👏🏻

(I’m gonna upset some theatre nerds, but I need to bitch for a good minute as I keep hearing the same parts from Six everywhere)

She was a minor all her life, being beheaded at the age of 18 or 19.

She was repeatedly molested at the age of 13 by her music teacher, who was likely in his 30s, pursued by a man ten years her senior at 15, and married Henry VIII (who was 49 at the time) when she was 16 or 17.

Reminder once again: SHE WAS A MINOR!

So once more:

STOP 👏🏻 SEXUALISING 👏🏻 KATHERINE HOWARD 👏🏻

Important details about the Marvel-Sony deal that nobody seems to be mentioning:

Sony does not make ANY money from the movies with Spider-Man in them that are not branded Spider-Man movies, they got no money from Civil War, Infinity War or Endgame, likewise, Marvel didn’t get much from Homecoming and Far From Home

Sony pays for 100% of the Spider-Man movies, they pay to make the movies, while Marvel takes a creative lead and makes most/all of the choices on what happens in the movies

So, when people say ‘Marvel made those movies and Sony just slapped their name on them’ that is not true, Marvel did not pay a penny to make those movies, Sony’s the one that paid the bills to make those movies, it’s just that people from Marvel were involved in making the movie, so Marvel, as a company, got to slap their name on the movie

The deal was only ever for five movies (so, Civil War, Homecoming, Infinity War, Endgame and Far From Home), so the deal was up, and then Marvel came in with idiotic demands and that’s what caused the new deal to dissolve

We also don’t know 100% if this means no Spider-Man in the MCU, the only thing we know is that, as of right now, Marvel/Kevin Feige will not be taking a creative lead in Spider-Man movies, that does not mean Spider-Man is banned from the MCU, maybe it does, but we have no idea

Also, they’re probably still negotiating, so Sony might end up taking a deal, especially since idiots everywhere are berating them for not letting Disney be greedy (which is what Disney wants)

Also, lots of people are saying that Marvel helped Sony make their highest-grossing movie ever, which, while true, only surpassed Sony’s last highest-grossing movie by $2 million (and, since both those movies went above $1 billion, that means it’s only roughly 0.2% higher), so them then asking for 50% of future Spider-Man movies is asking quite a lot, since that would mean roughly a half billion dollar loss on Sony’s part per movie, and they’re supposed to be okay with that because Marvel helped them make $2 million more on this one movie than they’ve made before? None of the Spider-Man movies that Sony has ever made pulled in less than half of what Far From Home made

So, basically, what happened is this: Marvel, coming off the heels of making the number one highest-grossing movie in cinematic history (which Sony got no money from even though their characters were in the movie), and also having 5 of the top 6 highest-grossing movies of 2019 (the 1 they don’t have being Spider-Man: Far From Home), came to Sony and said ‘fuck you buddy we want 50% of the profits from your movies because we don’t have enough money,’ Sony said ‘how about we stick to our original deal?’ and then Marvel decided they wouldn’t help Sony make Spider-Man movies anymore, probably because they figure that it’ll lead to them being able to squeeze more money out of Sony. How the fuck is Sony the bad guy here in anybody’s eyes?

DISNEY IS BEING GREEDY STOP ENABLING THEM.
