every female character in recent history (not animated) tries to be Marguerite Krux (multidimentional, allowed to be a real person with real feelings and reactions and, most importantly, flawed, imperfect, and allowed to make mistakes and learn) so hard and yet they miss the target by half the distance between here and the sun, when everyone in studios should just understand that perfect doesn't mean better, quite the contrary

#i a m rewatching sir arthur conan doyle's the lost world and I am always amazed at how constantly selfish she is and how she's in #it for herself and literally sold into marriage the girl who saved them right into the first episode. and kind of unflinchingly sells her #companions almost every other episode to save her hide #she's greedy and will do anything to amass jewels gems and other such things. taunts the people living with her daily. lies every other wor #and thinks first and foremost about herself #but then. then you see her playing the people she was cozying up to to save her friends. plays as summerlee's dead wife while he was out #of it and was almost certain to die of poisoning. puts herself at risk again and again to help her friends becomes more empathetic as the #episodes progress. help literal strangers even though there's nothing in it for her #just. this is amazing. I haven't seen anything like this since the early 2010s and I miss it so badly #also marguerite krux definitely first woman crush ever now that I can look back at my childhood with the right lenses #I mean have you seen her??????#not double but triple agent. black widow of vienna. heiress. gemmologist literal reincarnation of a goddess???#poilyglot version of supersayan. certified badass. super mysterious past. orphan just to add that tad of angst and by god #rachel blakely is hot #the lost world #marguerite krux
