The Lancastrian casting did NOT have to go this hard in the Hollow Crown... Like excuse me who said they could make ALL the Henrys hotties?




Like y'all I was already pro-Lancaster I didn't need this kinda propaganda to seduce- I mean induce me

I know I've been hard on Richard III lately but that's only cause he's so loathsome in Shakespeare. I'm fully aware that Shakespeare was about as fair to Richard in his plays as Robert Graves was to Livia in I, Claudius

Richard's monologues in Henry VI pt 2 are terrifying not just for how merciless he is but also for the fact he uses similar arguments to what a modern incel would. Truly chilling.
