Without such an audience, I should like to share with you three the true story of my muddy boots. Here is what truly happened.
A suspicious streak of mud found its way into our home. And there we were, myself, the servants, even my mother, chasing this mysterious mud through the house. Even as servants tried to clean it, more spots appeared, as if from a phantom. As I reached the end of my rope, I finally looked down to discover the phantom was, in fact, me. Chasing the mud with my own boots.
Everyone who's disappointed or mad about changing Francesca's love story of Michael to a woman's version, argues that the show—writers shouldn't have changed the books so drastically. What they don't know is that the show ALWAYS has drastically changed the story and lines in every season compared to the books. And trust me they've changed it for the better. Kate and Anthony in the books got caught sucking the venom out of Kate's chest and forced to marry and then, did they have their enemies to lovers. Now tell me, which version did you like more.
Also, I agree Francesca may have loved John in the books truly and madly, but that's not the case in the show and they've changed the relationship accordingly. She sees him as a companion, not a partner. She feels peace with him, not butterflies. She feels he really understands her, and those are the sole purposes of wanting to marry him. Now when she meets Michaela, her breathing stops, she feels the swooning and butterflies her mother always talked about and wishes for her to feel the way Violet felt with Edmund. And the thing is, by the interaction, Michaela seems an extrovert and far from quietness. And yet Francesca still fell in love with her, because in love, as shown in Bridgerton, you love them not because it benefits you, but because your heart calls for their soul, whatever that may be.
People talk a lot about the "Bridgerton glow-up" and tbh all they had to do for Jonny/Anthony was change his hair and get rid of the awful sideburns. Luke Newton possibly went through second puberty or something and started playing Colin with more swag. Plus Colin and Pen actually made themselves over this season. Started dressing and styling their hair better.
Idk how people think they're gonna glow-up Luke Thompson, who has been leading man ready since season 1, the endlessly charming and gorgeous ball of sunshine that is Claudia Jessie, or actual ethereal angel Hannah Dodd who was almost cast as Daphne in season 1.
