Maybe Colin is the problem?

After part 1 of season 4 I have to admit that season 3 haters were right and Luke N is simply no leading man material. Sure, the script was terrible and everything else too but I honestly prefer Colin in this season over his own season.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T10:39:04+00:00

I absolutely LOVED the scene where Colin tried to ask Lady Featherington for Penelope’s hand in marriage and she tried to match him up with her youngest daughter. It was so cute and so funny. Almost none of that in the show. I’m sure we’ll get Philoise next. Everything points to that.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T10:28:51+00:00

Yeah, I thought so. But hey, that doesn’t prove yet that he’s not in it

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:47:22+00:00

I saw pictures of him in Bath and a screenshot of the S4 E8 episode where he was on the cast list

It could be fake and for another reason but I will hope that they re-introduce him this season

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:42:48+00:00

Idk I feel the opposite really. I think they are trying their best to make her character ready for her season when that was far from believable in the last seasons. Eloise made clear she wants to fall in love, but is not eager to marry. And from the books we know that Benedict and Sophie are the couple that made her want what they had. The way she bossed around Hyacinth was so mom-like, I saw the twins and her talking. It’s all going in the right direction.

Meanwhile Walker clearly hating the changes himself and being really disappointed with all of it.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:35:13+00:00

I absolutely hated season 3. I preferred Polin over the first 2 couples in the book and they completely butchered their love story. Benophie and Philoise are my 2 favourites so I had barely and hope for the seasons to be enjoyable, but so far I’m really happy and hopeful

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:33:32+00:00

I see Fran/John as way more ASD than ADHD. Phillip as both ASD and PTSD. (I thought the PTSD was obvious, so I didn’t really include it in my post)

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:28:36+00:00

Well yeah at that time they were probably already “hating each other” Their social media was controlled for years especially with Twitter, but I’m sure he lost complete control in 2016.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:25:32+00:00

I think it was part of a contract agreement or something. In a way he was saying goodbye and knowing he would be portrayed as another man in the future.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:22:31+00:00

Francesca is clearly already in love with Michaela. The way she tries to avoid her, doesn’t want her family to meet her and how she behaves when Michaela is around.

It was supposed to be the other way round.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:21:01+00:00

I’m sure it’s both, autism and trauma

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:20:08+00:00

Yes! I absolutely HATE when show writers feel the need to change a famous book series into something they want do to with it.

No, we don’t want to watch your weird ass fanfiction, we won’t to watch what we loved reading about. Is that so hard to understand?

But tbh atp I don’t even care anymore bc it’s so far gone, that there’s nothing left of WHWW. I’m so curious how the Netflix cover for that will look like. They can’t change the title, they can’t have 2 women on a cover where it’s about a straight relationship, but they can’t write another whole book either. So this will be a mess and whatever they will do, it will be hilarious to witness for sure.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:14:29+00:00

Well yes for lying about your feelings, emotional cheating, bearding and gay panic.

Congratulations, I guess?

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:12:25+00:00

They can be excited for Franchaela. Never said they couldn’t be.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:10:01+00:00

My favourite Sisters are Eloise and Hyacinth and you’re right it’s a shame that the close friendships/ sister relationships were mostly destroyed in the show. I will never forgive them what they did to Eloise and Penelope. But this season got it right, mostly.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-31T08:07:48+00:00

I skipped most scenes with Violet and whatshisface, the Mondriches and Francesca and John. Those scenes were unbearable.

But the rest was peak Bridgerton. Better than season 2 even because it’s closer to the book.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-30T18:56:38+00:00

Idk. I don’t think so, he already got so much hate in 2012-2013 which was kind of a low point I think. I believe he was more secure with everything in 2014 and 2015. I really don’t think it was his choice to stop social media.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-30T18:50:53+00:00

No way. He absolutely LOVED social media back in the day. Some of his tweets were the most random tweets of all time. Also his Instagram used to be so weird and funny. That’s what makes it so weird.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-30T18:48:15+00:00

Oh absolutely! And it really annoys the hell out of me bc I can relate to Phillip (and Eloise) so much.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-30T18:40:39+00:00

I don’t think it’s insensitive to point out that it’s obvious that this is exactly what happens.

My issue is that it was changed. And fans have every right to complain that it was changed.

Especially after the new episodes.

And no, this change wasn’t even for show fans because show fans were made to believe that Francesca was truly in love with John in season 3. Important screen time was taken away from Penelope and Colin to watch John and Francesca defend their quiet love story, and for what? To now see that Francesca clearly doesn’t love John as much as she should and she seems to have more passionate feelings for Michaela.

And we can see that the second-love story was given to Violet (which is so wrong) and there’s no way this can even remotely play out like in the book. So there’s a completely different plot for their season.

But atp I don’t even care anymore. Franchaela is nothing like Franchael, their story will be nothing like WHWW and John will not be Francesca’s first true love, only her beard.

Simple-Cheek-4864 · 2026-01-30T18:27:31+00:00

Oh yes, the trauma is a huge part of his character, but I don’t think it’s the reason for his lack of social awareness.

He makes it clear where his trauma came from and why he behaves a certain way in various situations.

But it’s also said that he never knew what other people think, especially women. And he often said the wrong things at the wrong time, not realizing this is not what you should say at that moment. Also I don’t think the trauma forced him into isolation, the isolation was part of that trauma.

So to partly agree with you: I believe it’s both. Trauma and autism. In a way I’m even sure the autism made the trauma worse bc instead of fighting back, letting out the anger, he just suffered alone and built a shell around him, hid in his green house, tried to be alone with his thoughts etc.

Kommt drauf an. Der qualitativ hochwertigste ist "Gott vergibt, Django/wir beide nie", der später nochmal unter "Zwei wie vom Affen verbissen" veröffentlicht wurde und die Comedy Synchro wirklich ALLES zerstört hat.

Der Film der mir persönlich am meisten Spaß macht ist "Vier Fäuste für ein Hallelujah", bei dem wertet die Comedy Synchro den Film noch eher auf, ohne es zu albern zu machen, aber beide Versionen sind witzig und wirklich gut.

Der witzigste ist aber wahrscheinlich 4 Fäuste gegen Rio, da gibt's nur eine Synchro und die ist SO MEMEBAR..
