#fast 10

Our partnership is off to a fantastic start.

Moments in “Fast X” that I felt was bizarre even for this franchise (THIS IS ALL SPOILERS):

1) Pete Davidson randomly shows up just to be Pete Davidson.

2) Jason Momoa’s performance felt like they just told him to act like Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter. Or just a Jojo villain in general.

3) Letty and Cipher get sent to Antarctica, where Gisele just shows up at the end in a submarine despite clearly dying in the 6th one. That’s LITERALLY how the movie ended.

4) They got Alan Ritchson (the guy from Reacher) to play a buff CIA agent who hates barbecues and families. Also, maybe this is just me, but I felt like he was also Jason Momoa’s love interest? I just got the vibes.

5) The weird shot of the camera following Vin Diesel’s muscles which led into the car’s engines.

6) There was a 15-minute sequence where they chased a nuclear bomb that was rolling around the streets of Rome.

7) John Cena using three tequila bottles to power his mini plane.

8) Tyrese taped millions of dollars on his shirt and was just carrying that around the whole movie.

9) Rita Moreno was randomly there as Vin Diesel’s grandma.

10, EDIT) I forgot one other moment. Because F9 retconned Tokyo Drift, there was a sequence where the Agents of SHIELD (I know they’re the “Agency”, but it was basically Marvel’s SHIELD) are reviewing footage of their previous missions. One mission featured clips from Tokyo Drift.

DANTE REYES + fashion

I know the black is very slimming and very scary, but the pastels, you know, they're in-season. I feel like it tones down the masculinity a little bit, which we all need these days.

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

The more I think about “Fast X” and Jason Momoa’s performance, the more I’m questioning the intent behind Dante Reyes’ character. While Jason was definitely the highlight of the movie, I’m a little torn in how he was presented. It’s not that the character was clearly meant to be queer-coded, it’s more that this is a queer-coded character in a “Fast and Furious” movie.

I wouldn’t really be having these thoughts if Jason’s character was the villain in something like “Thor: Love and Thunder”. But the F&F movies have always been rooted in this culture of masculinity. We can joke about “family” all we want, but we also need to acknowledge that maybe the reason why family keeps getting mentioned is because of the series’ insistence on pushing more “traditional” values.

Family units, men protecting their clans/families, strong men leading the way, emphasis on brotherhood, men sorting their issues out in fair fights (ex: Dom wasting his shotgun shell in favor of a fair duel with Deckard Shaw), emphasis on fatherhood, and so on. Just to be clear, this isn’t a criticism of those values, I’m just saying that this is what the franchise was built on.

So, again, there’s nothing wrong with Jason Momoa’s villain being this flamboyant, queer-coded person…on paper. In any other movie, he’d be fine. But in this particular franchise, it makes you question the intentions of the team behind the movie, especially since Dante Reyes was written to be the “anti-Dom” and the “antichrist of [Dom’s] Christ” (that’s exactly how the director described the character). So, the opposite of the franchise’s messiah-like protagonist is this crazy mass murderer who, for some reason, was queer-coded.

Did this character absolutely need to be portrayed in this way? Because it does feel that Dante Reyes was only portrayed in this way to contrast Dominic Toretto’s masculine, family man image, which feels a little wrong since that’s creating a connection with how Dante is as a person and his villainous actions.

At risk of exposing myself as a Stupid Car Movie enjoyer, I gotta say that Dante Reyes would make a damn good Desolation avatar. "Never accept death when suffering is owed" and all that, his love of breaking people by targeting their loved ones, and trying to set off an explosive that's literally a flaming metal ball in the middle of a crowded city is all Desolation as fuck to me. Honestly as completely horrible as he is Jason Momoa's preformance was the best part of that movie

[omnivorousshipper]

The fact that Tyrese Gibson had a hookah on set of Fast X, but it was never once shown in the movie is a fucking crime

Let my boi Roman be extravagant as fuck

Also I just need him being yelled at by the rest of the crew for using it

Mia & Lil B giving Jakob hugs & telling him they love him.... my heart 🥺🥹😭😍💞💗💖

Jakob deserves so much love & happiness after everything he went through, I can't believe he finally gets it only to "die". Mia just got him back, she & B don't deserve to lose him. I swear to god they better bring him back in the next film

[epickiya722]

Literally the only people not explicitly stated is Eric and Brian and Mia's mids

Like I'm glad you don't want him to kill the kids (who honestly wants that, I know I damn well don't).

But jeez! That was almost everyone!! Yeah, I did not see Little Nobody on that list. Which is kinda ironic given he was one of the people Dante did try to kill. Failed, but he did try.

Also, Owen and Deckard weren't listed!

Fast & Furious 10: Jason Momoa's Fab as Villain Dante ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Living in an area of Los Angeles that has had drivers doing donuts after midnight and had some dangerous street takeovers, I’m not a big fan of the “Fast & Furious” franchise. Only one film, a spin-off, has really made me smile, but I was delightfully surprised with “Fast X.” If you’re asking: Who is Dante? I’ll give you the answer. Jason Momoa’s Dante is the deliriously demented devil on the…
