i cannot believe there’s an alternate version of the flag smasher fight in episode 4 that had Lemar actually being a total badass and John showing his comics accurate chaotic energy and we didn’t get that????
AND then they also denied me John having a fucking silly yet amazing magical girl transformation moment????
EXCUSE ME MARVEL
LET MY CHAOTIC PROBLEM CHILD LIVE HIS BEST FERAL MAGICAL GIRL LIFE OKAY
they better rectify this in the Thunderbolts movie!!

okay i’m not done yet i forgot how much the scene where elend goes to the koloss camp absolutely SLAPS
- elend going ‘how insane are you feeling at the moment?’ to ham. boy loses the crown and immediately does the most reckless thing he can think of. the equivalent of impulsively shaving your head after a bad breakup
- the sheer fucking confidence he exudes from approaching the koloss to demanding to be let in to jastes’ tent. a full 180 from his behaviour at the start of the book
- throwing the drink jastes gives him on the ground????? king shit
- ‘it’s easy to believe in something when you win all the time’ brandon really went off with this part huh
- just fucking. taking out two of jastes’ guards and then stabbing jastes in the shoulder. this man is insane.
- being so intensely focused on threatening jastes he doesn’t even acknowledge the other guards when they arrive
- the way he just goes ‘i’m leaving now’ and puts his knife to jastes’ throat so that the guards have no choice but to let him go. the AUDACITY, i am living for it
- the way jastes and his guards are all so clearly terrified of the koloss and elend makes them watch as he just walks up to a group and gets them to escort him back. iconic
- poor kid is so high from the adrenalin rush of confonting jastes that he gets it in his head that it’s a good idea to attack a koloss and then he just. does it
- he’s a fucking idiot, i love him
- somehow wins the fight with the koloss through sheer fucking tenacity
- HE ATE MY HORSE
- elend venture, once king of luthadel, scholar, philosopher, reads at balls for fun, and the best he can come up with is ‘he ate my horse’. fucking iconic
- have i mentioned i love him

okay, no shade, but youre missing out on SO much good characters moments if your girlbossify the bg3 women too much. i get it, they're big, strong, badass, but they are, like all bg3 companions, incredibly cringe in their own ways that i think we could stand to appreciate more.
lae'zel throws the worlds biggest meltdown anytime you do anything not directly related to the githyanki creche, only to almost get her shit immediately rocked. lae'zel on modern day stan twitter would be a shitshow and you cant convince me otherwise. and thats before we even mention her fighting you in act two and then immediately crying about it. babygirl its okay, we were only playing. AND TRYING TO KISS HER IN PUBLIC?? she acts big and bad in act 1, fighting rough with you the entire time, but as soon as you ask her for a little kiss? immediate embarrassment. she could absolutely wreck my shit, but shes still a meow meow.
shadowheart is just fantasy catholic. she gets mad if you pick up a statue of selûne bc shes just that catholic. dyes her hair white in a desperate emo crisis of faith moment. recites smut in public. makes jokes that land incredibly flat. is acting way cooler and more chill than she actually is to hide the fact that shes scared. SHE CHOSE THE NAME SHADOWHEART. need i say more?
karlach may be cringe but she is free, i will give her this. she gets the zoomies. she almost blows up a firework shop with her in it because shes so excited. she has a teddy bear called clive. she hasnt read a book since secondary school. she does a little dancy dance if you leave her alone for too long. her inner monologue is just about how horny she is for most people. bisexual failgirl. i love her.
and then the biggest cringefail of them all, minthara. the fact that she absolutely cannot see that every companion at camp actually does grow to really like, love, and respect her bc shes expecting treachery (bc thats what SHE would have done) is as sad as it is just a liiiiittle bit funny. darling. my wife. people like and care about you. not to mention the fact that shes been poisoning you the entire time shes been travelling with you???? cant communicate for the life of her. regularly threatens to kill you but then gets mad if you die. emotionally stunted loserbabe. we will have a july wedding........
what im SAYING isnt that the girls ARENT badass and compotent and cool, what im SAYING is that the lads shouldnt have a monopoly on complexity and depth. you get me?
