Happy 24th Anniversary to the movie, ever! ✨

(Closer images under the cut)

I drew Rick, Evy, Jon and Ardeth back in September like this, and they looked pretty bad, so I thought I'd try my hand at them again AND finally draw Imhotep and Anck. Tried to somewhat stay loyal to the actor's likenesses, somewhat get more shapey and cartoony, but nevertheless, had a LOT of fun.

Universal, please, I need another sequel, comics and a new animated show 🥹

The Mummy released today 25 years ago.

my favorite trio dynamic is "romantic couple who would do anything for each other and their Platonic Guy that they would also do anything for"

So I’ve just seen the Mummy (1999) for the first time, somehow, after 25 years of being alive and loving adventure/fantasy/historical fiction films and I.

I LOVED IT.

Sure, it’s goofy and the CGI is a bit horrid, but I still loved it.

I loved the characters, I loved the gorgeous sets, I loved how EARNEST it is. It’s truly such a fun film, and I’m kicking myself for not watching it sooner.

And it’s FUNNY! Beni and Rick had me cackling. Look at Brendan’s face in this scene:

And then he’s on the WRONG SIDE OF THE RI-VER!

Also really loved the relationships between the characters. Jonathan and Evy have such a sweet sibling dynamic. They genuinely love and support each other, and that’s really refreshing.

Just Jonathan in general is delightful, honestly.

Love ya, dude.

Also everyone is so hot??? I even thought Imhotep was handsome, and I’m usually put off by bald men (sorry fellas). Look how cute Evy is!!!

BUT. Ardeth Bay? Holy shit. He is GORGEOUS. Legitimately have never seen a man who’s so beautiful. Big time crush happening over here.

I looked up Oded Fehr and he’s actually still gorgeous, it’s ridiculous.

Dude. Are you kidding me??? LOOK at him.

Anyway, really loved this movie and can’t wait to get sucked into the fandom!

Just watching the Mummy and having moments

Like, was SJM inspired by the Pharoah's mistress when she painted Feyre Under the Mountain (so everyone would know if anyone touched her, aka Tamllin)?

Like, how Evie and Rick make a good team as soon as they're on the same side: she's watching his back, pulling him out of gunfire without asking or needing to be asked, he's watching hers, recognizing what the wet footprints *might* mean and checking on her immediately.

Like, how Evie says "if he turns me into a mummy you're the first one I'm coming after" but what she means is "I love you" and he GETS IT immediately. They've well established that Imotep has been obsessed with reconnecting with his beloved despite being a mummy. Evie is telling Rick, you're beloved to me, and he hears her even though they've spent so little time together.

Like, how Jonathan is constantly avoiding conflict but NEVER backs down when it happens. He is the last to drop his gun when they visit the museum in Cairo for answers.

Like, how they so subtly compare Jonathan and the prison warden. Both pick up the blue gold scarabs. The warden is driven by greed, he is giggling, he keeps saying "one more" until a scarab breaks loose to eat him. But Jonathan is curious. "Hey gents, have a look at this" he says as he grabs one to show Rick and Ardeth. When it inevitably breaks loose to eat him, Rick and Ardeth are able to save him. Jonathan is greedy, yes, but it is not his primary motivation. And that saves his life.

Like, how Brendan Fraser's eyes have not changed at ALL. Now that he's back in public view, I watch this and go, "oh, there you are Brendan! We missed you buddy"

Like how Evie is a damsel, and she is in distress, but she can handle it. Give her an inch to defend herself and she f*cking WILL.

Like how the entire finale is an absolute PERFECT balance of humor and serious action. We are absolutely worried for their lives, but when Rick screams at the mummies we laugh, bc bro what are you doing lol.

Like how what secures their victory isn't violence or brute strength, it's knowledge. *Evie's* knowledge. She helps Jonathan translate a dead language to save Rick, then she translates it again (under EXTREME pressure) to make Imotep mortal.

Just, ugh. The feels. What a masterpiece.
