"We'll just have to make better mistakes tomorrow,"

-The Darkest Minds: Liam Stewart (pg. 108)

my opinion on adapted movies, (namely tdm)?

first of all, let me just say that i do enjoy the movie and respect everyone involved as well as alex, herself - and i do understand that in adaptations and book-based movies, a lot of things do have to be changed and be portrayed a little differently - and y’know, i’m okay with it, it’s cool, you do you.

but i still feel like there were too many unnecessary changes in the tdm movie (i know its been talked about a lot and that there has been some light shed on the matter, but lmfao im giving you my personal opinion - that nobody really asked for - but seriously, if you don’t wanna hear it, i really think you should just scroll past?)

in no way am i trying to bring down anybody or spark a fire, this is just purely my opinion because i kinda have a lot to say and im just at the point where im using my account as an outlet for all my pent up feelings and opinions, oof.

first of all, heh, they changed chubs’ colour - and while that’s not really considered much of a big deal anymore, i just think he shouldn’t have had his ‘label’ changed - books chubs was hella smart and had a really great personality that i could really relate to, and one of the things i really liked about him was the fact that he did possess some form of enhanced intelligence, but still wasn’t labelled as a green, instead being identified as a blue; 

like something about that warms up my heart, knowing that he was a genius but didn’t have to be labelled as one to be it? i don’t really know how to describe it, but i hope you get what i mean.

next, the reds???? like bro, what? the movie really depicted them as monsters, which they literally are not? they’re just kids who had their mind broken by /assholes/ of leaders and people who abused their powers, and i wasn’t okay in the slightest with how they were portrayed - and it’s just so so far from the few reds we were able to meet (and sorta know) throughout the series, (mason, my babes cole and lucas).

to wrap things up really quickly, let me just rant about how the movie literally robbed us of ruby’s character growth; movie-ruby was getting into everyone’s minds like it was a casual thing, and was acting like her abilities weren’t something she struggled with for like half the series???

again, don’t get me wrong, pop off girl -

but fox discarded and disregarded most of the things that made me love the series in the first place; i feel like so many kids these days struggle with the way they perceive themselves and just need that kind of boost from something they like (e.g: books, movies, magazines etc..). By taking away one of the key lessons from the series in the movie, a lot of the character arcs and growth/progressions lack basis and just don’t make a lot of sense? 

and i don’t see how they can recover my trust in them by doing something like that?

i know that a lot of us, myself included, grew up thinking that we were monsters and don’t exactly agree with a lot of decisions those in power make, and the tdm series really taught me that it was okay to have certain aspects of myself that i don’t necessarily like or agree with - and that the most important thing that i could ever do is coming into terms with myself, what made me me and who i am, as well as standing up for what i believe in, and doing what seems like the wrong thing for all the right reasons - 

and the movie robbed us of that.

ps: im also not okay with how liam doesn’t call ruby “darlin’” a single time throughout the whole movie, but i guess im okay living with it?

lies, im not - but for sake of ending things here, let’s just say i am.

but i really am not.

also hi there, thank you for reading this far, i really appreciate it, please tell me how you feel about it all because i kinda need friends to rant to about it all <//3 i love you, and if you needed this today; take care. you’re amazing and so incredibly loved. you mean the world to somebody else and your existence matters.

Why there isn't any Cole fanfiction or one shot anywhere? Like come on, he is Cole Stewart. Everybody is in love with him.

Or i guess we just don't see any girl worthy for him.

But i still wanna see something about him. To see him happy. :'(':

Unpopular Opinion

I didn't like The Darkest Minds movie...

I know, I know. I'm the worst, but honestly, it was nothing like the book! They left out characters and events that may not make or break the first film but will destroy the others if they get made! So many things they left out seem small in the first book but are huge in the others... I just... ugh! I was so excited for this movie but it's just not good, the writing anyway. I do really love the actors! Except the one for Clancy, I could do with a new Clancy.

what is it with the stewart bros and Tuesdays?

[cosmicpolaris]

The Darkest minds movie is out soon and I am really excited. I love the book and I am sure the movie will be awesome as well. This is list of the things I expect from the movie

1. Ruby and Liam being super cute together.

Ruby and Liam are my favorite couple in the books, because they are so pure. The deeply care about each other and Liam helped getting Ruby out of her shell.

2. Family moments with the whole group.

The Black(now Blue) Betty crew are like a family. Their dynamic was great and hell of a fun to read. I hope the transition from book to movie keeps that.

3. Badass use of powers

I saw in the trailer that the eyes of the kids are glowing when they use their powers. I loved that, because it looks so badass. I read that the movie will show use how the powers work and I am waiting for it.

4. I want to see that there was a reason for making Chubs green.

This is the only thing that really bugged me. Chubs is green in the movie, but in the books he is blue. That may remove his connection to Jack, which was his motivation to reach East River as he wanted to deliver Jack's letter. What buggs me is that now he is not smart , because he is naturally smart. He is smart because of his powers. This kinda turns him into a stereotype. A smart guy with glasses. Now he can't even protect himself properly. I hope that the movie will show us the reason for this change.

I think this is all I really want to see happening in the movie for now

I am. so excited for this movie.... is it 3rd August already!!!! 😂😂😂

[darkestpsi]

yeah!!! he’s outside in haven’s forest with lee and ruby, watching his baby brother, zu and jude plan a massive prank on vida, chubs and jack with a huge smile on his face - all while listening to ruby telling him about some stupid moment that she keeps laughing over where liam basically tripped over his own feet and landed onto the  laminate flooring, in front of her, spewing out some nonsense like “darlin’, have i ever told you how damn hard i fell for you?”

Look, the way I see it... Cole Stewart being alive and well and happy? Inevitable
