Can’t sleep thinking about how irrationally angry Andy Serkis’s Jungle Book made me
#‘It was something different! it was darker and more faithful to the books!’ No it wasn’t!!#it was an edgy grim dark take on the Disney movie by someone that hadn’t read the books since they were 12!!!#literally half of the plot points are things directly lifed from the Disney canon and had no basis in the books at all#you knew that Baloo in the books was a stern old grumpy teacher. great cool. but you didn’t realise that for the Disney movies him#and Bagheera switch personalities. So you kept Bagheera with his stern and grumpy personality from the Disney movie resulting in#two of the exact same character#Shere Khan is entirely unintimidating and gets ragdolled around by every other character just to show how cool they are#he tries to slink off into the jungle after getting brutalised by 10 elephants but Mowgli catches him and stabs him in the literal back…#Kaa shows up. says some words. then shows up the end with a knowing grin like she did anything meaningful#Mowgli attaches an elephant’s tusk like it’s a god dam jigsaw puzzle#his new albino wolf brother who is there to show ‘it’s okay to be different’ gets his horrible cgi head mounted on a wall#it’s just…#I WANTED a faithful adaption of the books Andy! and as much as you say you did you did not give me that!!!!
