Guess what I restarted a rewatch of?

Hey, psssstttt, @aysekira

I love that the reason Huang Rong falls for Guo Jing is not for his battle prowess or looks or whatever but his sheer, unrelenting decency.

She is someone who could easily have gone the villain route under other circumstances but she meets this naive, moral, kind man and her whole life is wrenched off that track and this is a dynamic I adore.

🎶And you’re finally real, here beside me.🎶

“The Kiss” (the score in this scene) started with “Wild Uncharted Waters” an ode dedicated in finding her. Then it ended with “Part Of Your World” thus, telling us that she is now part of his world.  I just realized that their songs are titled: 

“Wild Uncharted Waters” (the sea where she lives) “Part of your World” (the above world where he lives)

I just want them to release all the mocap footage! I could watch these guys play pretend all day. 😍 So cool to see the werewolf actor suited up too!

Lin Manuel Miranda said he knew he wanted to be a composer after watching the Little Mermaid for the first time and now he is writting music for and producing a remake of the little mermaid and working with Alan Menken, the composer of the og movie. Whatever you think about all of this, you have to admit, that's pretty impressive.

The Legend of Condor Heroes 2008 - ep 1

I largely ffed through this ep since this is a rewatch and I am not here for the backstory, except insofar as how our mains interact with it.

This was a great way to go out - we are barely ten minutes in and one of the fathers of our mains just got flambeed. I miss that sort of unthinking brutality in my narrative.

Bwahaha I love this subtitle. These are eventually Guo Jing's teachers but their main purpose for me is to save time by ffing all their scenes. I get the idea I am supposed to find them more interesting/entertaining than I do, but alas...

This is this lady's whole character summed up. No really. I am not fond of her because anyone who makes my daring Huang Rong angst is not a fave. Guo Jing belongs to Huang Rong, why yes I know people can't belong to other people. Guo Jing is an exception, he belongs to Huang Rong. I am vvvv rational.

Hello there, Guo Jing! God, in a drama full of characters I adore, he is 110% my favorite and this is a vvvvv boss entrance.

Anyway, this was fun but what I can't wait until is:

Guo Jing is nature's boyscout - he might not be the brightest bulb out there by far but he is honorable, forthright, and really good at fighting. REALLY good. However, despite being the most amazing martial arts fighter the world has ever seen, Guo Jing is not the sharpest tool in the shed so it's AMAZING when his path crosses with that of Huang Rong. Huang Rong is sharp as a tack, occasionally morally flexible, and pure FUN. Oh, and she can outfight most men. She gives him smarts and he gives her a moral center. They smite enemies together and hug an awful lot and cry over their love. I bask in the OTP!

Did I mention that when he first meets her she is cross-dressing as a boy?

Indeed.

one of these days we're gonna have to have a conversation about the racism in some of the ways people talk about Lin Manuel Miranda but idk if Tumblr is ready for that

My Thoughts On The Little Mermaid Live Action

I personally loved the movie.

The visual affects were stunning. It made it seem like it was actually taking place underwater, which was the point and they achieved that pretty well.

I personally don’t mind Flounder and Sebastian looking realistic because every other fish is also realistic in the movie, so they fit in and don’t look out of place.

I especially loved the music. I’m a huge fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s work in general, and he did not disappoint and amazed me with his work once again. In my opinion the songs were the most entertaining and enjoyable part of the movie and kept it from being boring.

The songs feel like musical theater songs, I’m not surprised by that because Lin-Manuel Miranda worked on them and he has worked for Broadway musicals before. They sounded fantastic.

The Scuttlebutt didn’t feel so out of place. Out of context it feels weird but with the context not so much. Because Scuttles mostly blabbers in the movie.

The rap wasn’t bad in my opinion.

Also, I found Daveed Diggs’ (he voices Sebastian in the live action) rap at the end of the song to hype up Ariel to get ready to be kinda similar to Daveed Diggs role in Hamilton as Lafayette when he was telling Washington to get his right hand man back for the war. If this was intentional, it felt like a nice reference.

I love how different Halle Bailey is to the original Ariel.

The original Ariel’s Part of Your World song seemed a bit melancholic and Ariel seemed resigned to her fate. Halle Bailey’s Ariel’s Part of Your World song was a combination of frustration and determination. This made the two reprises of the song later on in the film even more powerful. With one being hopeful and the other being sorrowful. I commend Halle Bailey on conveying all those different emotions, she’s an excellent singer and actress.

Unlike the animated film, Ariel doesn't actually go up to the surface until after her fight with her father which is a small but smart change that I liked. Instead of being rebellious because she's a teenager this version of Ariel is frustrated at the fact that she's constantly ignored and controlled and I like that Triton's unreasonable behavior effectively becomes the catalyst for her to go to the surface, I like that irony.

The storm in the beginning of the movie felt almost identical to the animated movie. The effects felt realistic and climactic.

I love how Ariel got a song when she first became a human. It made us see her perspective and understand her better.

Compared to to the animated Ariel, this version of Ariel was less Love Struck. Instead she seems to be more intrigued by Eric in the human world which does feel more realistic. It shows her curiosity for the human world a lot more. Which is a change I liked.

I’m glad they didn’t go for the love at first sight thing for the remake and gave Ariel and Eric time to bond. I loved the chemistry between them.

I personally prefer their bonding time in the live action over the dinner they had in the original, and we still got a “dinglehopper” scene.

Also, I found the way Eric learned Ariel’s name to be adorable.

In the animated film it's kind of a love at first sight moment with Ariel falling for Eric after he talks about looking for his dream girl but in the live action it's more like their kindred spirits both feeling pressured to live up to their family's expectations of them and sharing a desire to explore the world. They understood each other and related to one another without the use of words, which I find adorable.

I loved the market Eric and Ariel went to. The production team made a fantastic job, it really seemed like it could be a marketplace in the kingdom. I also love the choreography, the music and the dance for the place, it seemed very fitting and not out of place.

I also love how we got to see Prince Eric’s side of the story, he even had his own song.

In my opinion him being adopted gives him more character depth, him loosing his parents in a shipwreck gives him more reason to be so drawn to the sea.

When Eric recovered he sends people to look for the girl who saved him and I like that he takes a more active role in finding her in the live action, unlike in the animated movie where he’s just wandering around on a beach. Because of the incident his mother forbids him from sailing again which leads to our first new song of the film wild Uncharted Waters. The lyrics are filled with Maritime references which are a bit obvious which is good in my opinion because it makes the viewer understand them easier. It works for the new direction they've taken with Eric's character. It feels like a heartfelt song, I think Jonah Hauer-King made a great delivery of it.

I also liked how Ariel instantly forgot she had to kiss Eric. It made it seem like their love was even more “impossible” because if she couldn’t kiss Eric she’d turn back into a mermaid and be under Ursula’s control. It also made Ursula even more evil.

Ursula and Triton were actually siblings during the early development of the 1989 film but this dynamic was scrapped, I’m glad we got to see it in the live action.

I think Trident and Ursula being related helps with Ariel’s deal with Ursula.

Because Ariel had never met Ursula, she had just heard what her father said about her. She doesn’t fully believe her father because he also told her people are evil and she saw that to be false with her own eyes when she saw Eric. She was already doubting about what her father thought of “evil”.

She had also just gotten into a big fight with him and her trust for him had decreased.

She was also scared of her and thought about leaving but Ursula successfully manipulated her.

I also think the live action Ursula is pretty good. She’s manipulative and evil, she also has a great voice.

Overall, I think the changes were good changes and fit into the story.
