it's been more than a month yet thinking about how Neil said season 2 is a bridge to what was supposed to be in the book sequel still keeps me awake at night 'cause the math isn't mathing for me

you see, i can’t see how it was supposed to work, taking into consideration Aziraphale's book personality. i mean, Aziraphale's final s2 decision, in my humble opinion, wouldn’t at all work for his book!version (and radio!version, obviously. I'm still not really sure if it works for me even in terms of his show!version), since book!Aziraphale, how do i put it? yeah, i doubt he’d give a single fuck about the idea of reforming heaven and making it better and stuff. like under no circumstances whatsoever

because — though I might be wrong — I always thought the point of Aziraphale's character is that he doesn’t believe in heaven being right. it's evident from this part of the book when he interferes in a TV program while on a search for a body. he calls heaven propagandistic here and says it doesn't matter who wins, hell or heaven, because humanity loses either way

and it's not, in fact, the first time Aziraphale shows disapproval of heaven and its methods. he has already said himself that hell and heaven are practically the same before here, while discussing their head offices with Crowley

so he knows for a fact that heaven is just as thirsty for blood and cruel as hell. they are not the side of the light. he knows it from the start, and the fact that heaven wants war just as much as hell does is not an insight for him. it just reassures him of what he's known before. and he's quite strong in his beliefs, too

and i just keep trying to figure out how we were supposed to get to book!Aziraphale not only going back there but also taking up an archangel position — and if we ever were, really

i honestly can’t find an answer to this in my head, so i thought i might share it here. i can’t be the only one thinking about this on repeat, and maybe someone else has found an answer or a loophole they’ll want to share so i can find peace again

One of the things I love about Glass Onion is the way that the camera and music work together to tell nonverbal jokes.

Like when Benoit basically has to hold Miles' hand to get him to the conclusion that someone reset the puzzle box Benoit lies about receiving:

Benoit asks if it's possible that someone reset the box, and Miles then declares that someone must have reset the box like it is this huge reveal - and the camera zooms out while the music subtly swells as though he really has figured out something smart, when actually he literally restated what Benoit just said.

I may be ostracizing myself for this opinion. Feel free to disagree but....

I don't think there is a problem with Claire being used as a plot device. I don't think it's really a big deal that the writers wrote this character to have a specific purpose to the main protagonist of the show, and used that character to expose the fatal flaws of said protagonist.

It's easy to see why people have a tendency to view characters as actual people, especially really well-written characters like the main ensemble cast of The Bear. We empathize with them on a deeper level. We empathize with their pain, their heartache, their joy, their dreams, their fears, their love, their past, present, and future. It's a pretty big reason why the show is as popular as it is.

However, at the end of the day, the characters are just that. Characters - who are used to tell a compelling story. So when the showrunners design a character who has a specific purpose to the narrative, it's kinda weird to see people get up in arms over that decision because that character was never meant to be as fleshed out as the main cast.

How is a character like Claire being done a disservice and being diminished if her role was never meant to contain as much nuance as the main cast? I could see the argument working for someone like Sydney or Tina or Sugar. Those characters need to be as thoroughly fleshed out as they are because their roles in the story require that nuance due to the positions they hold in the restaurant (and by extension, their positions in Carmy's life), the main driver of the story.

So when I see posts that say, "I wish Claire was written better" I can't help but think that the point of Claire was missed. Imo the audience is supposed to feel like she doesn't belong in this world of chaos, in Carmy's world. Not because it's any fault of hers, but because that's just how her character was fashioned to be perceived.

a lot of people seem to use Entry #61 as 'proof' for the crux of the "Brian didn't care about Tim, he was Taking Advantage of Tim's conditions and Forcing him to work as part of totheark" thing, but honestly when you think about it there's no possible way Brian could have possibly orchestrated that series of events, like you almost have to interpret that as a baffling group of coincidences

I am really afraid of the captain jack sparrow effect, ykwim, when something surprisingly strikes a chord with a lot of people, gets really popular, and then when the creators try to make more of it they're too aware of the fact that the audience will lap it up, so they screw it up and it's never as good as it was the first time around when no one knew how it would turn out

I went into bg3 fully ready to have a good time and have done so despite many ways in which the game is not good and have not worried too much over various dramas about patch changes but my chill streak has finally ended and I am wailing gnashing my teeth etc. about patch 7 (the supposedly final one with story/content changes) not adding companion reactivity for any of the durge content in act 2
