the plum scene was designed to show us that this arm, this weapon, this part of bucky’s body he never asked for, never wanted, was sensitive enough to check fruit for ripeness, showing us in the process how much bucky felt in that arm. which means he felt a hell of a lot of pain.
I want you to take a long look at the trees, the blue sky, and the river, all of which I personally loathe, which is why a juicy stretch in a French prison doesn’t bother me at all.
Patty Jenkins has confirmed that Wonder Woman 2 will be another period piece, this time set in the 1980s. Although most of the DCEU has been set in a chronological order, Wonder Woman has been the rare exception. Though Wonder Woman first appeared in the film franchise during Batman V Superman, the majority of her debut movie was set during World War I, the earliest that any superhero movie story has been set.
There was heavy speculation that Wonder Woman 2 would follow suit, given the ending of Diana’s debut. Wonder Woman has a rather bittersweet ending with Diana mourning the death of Steve Trevor but still resolving to help humanity and be a part of the world. This was at odds with Diana’s story in both BvS and Justice League, where she was re-entering the world after a long absence. It appears that among many other things, Wonder Woman 2 will answer the lingering mystery of Diana’s disappearance.
You’re referring to this post, which carries my darling heart Sus’ (aka @harrietvane) tags. And since those are her tags, I’ll leave it to her to explain fully, if she so wishes.
Heyyyyy so if you’re into this: that Rochester reference in my tag-rant about Crimson Peak and GdT was me being flippant about gothic tropes and fandom, not any actual real discourse (disclaimer: Rochester discourse I’m pretty sure is An Actual Thing, but fun fact, I deeply, deeply don’t care). In the context of Crimson Peak I was just noticing that this site is very very into Guillermo del Toro right now, and the way that happens is everyone gets all in a lather about how great and organically grass-fed non-problematic a creator is, then a few months later someone finds A Receipt about a Wrong Opinion They Have, and it’s on like donkey kong. Passive aggressive tea-sipping gifs are flying, and it all gets super boring in about 8 seconds. My flippant prediction was that if the love of GdT around here is based on the concept of The Monstrous being ‘actually just a super sweetheart, they’re just misunderstood!’, then this shit is about to go downhill fast, because that 100% is not what he seems to be into, by his own admission. The man is into the full monster spectrum, from what tumblr would call Good People (hey Frankenstein’s creature! or a finger-biting river god! Hellboy!), to Bad People (Mako’s flashback kaiju, fascist wind-up clockwork assassins, or serial murderers Lucille and Thomas Sharpe). The key for me is he’s not ever trying to make the Bad People column fit into the Good People column – he’s just genuinely just …into all of them. It’s not even ‘they’re all the Good column!’ – he’s not keeping labelled columns about which ones he’s allowed to like, it all just seems like Monster Mash to this guy. This site however loves to work itself into a froth about Gothic-lit style monsters that are put in the Bad People column (the big ones being MCU Loki, the Beast from BatB (any version tbh), literally anyone in Wuthering Heights, or Edward Fairfax Rochester, or Han and Leia’s nightmare progeny, etc), and the struggle over which column they belong to, Officially™, and ‘what exactly IS the correct bad childhood to homicide ratio anyway?’ And like, I’m exhausted even just turning my mind in the direction of that discussion at all tbh.
TL;DR: Lucille Sharpe and Thomas Sharpe totally murderised multiple vulnerable people, and had zero excuse for killing a woman in a wheelchair, but GdT doesn’t try and give them one – he knows they’re awful, and just loves Lucille’s jealous, neurotic, serial-poisoning self as-is, and Thomas’ self-interest and weakness and outright blatant lying self as-is. Like, he’s aware they’re gross, and he loves them. Not a mutually exclusive thing. If he gives some interview in future about a Gothic-style Horrible Person in popular media and is like ‘yeaaaah i love that gross trainwreck!’ and i see posts about how GdT is cancelled? I’ll make myself a rose-infused gin and tonic and kick back in my chair, wondering where my fucks went.
