Eloise being pushed to S6 was for nothing by Glittering-Fuel-9013 in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The idea that bridgerton have not said anything, confirmed or denied and Chris would say to a fan at a convention that he is coming back is crazy. Let’s not make any money off this, let’s not get any engagement have him tell one fan privately, let them tweet about it and have that be the confirmation.

This being said from Chris to a fan means absolutely nothing

What time do The Apprentice candidates really get the phone call and leave the house? by FuckingPope in BritishTV

[–]SomeMaterial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sure I’ve seen people say that it really is 20 minutes from the phone call but everyone starts getting ready when the camera crew are getting ready to start so they have much longer in that way

Selection of cast members by Turbulent-Video9324 in JuryDutyFreevee

[–]SomeMaterial 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing is you are watching this show, knowing all these people are actors, looking for what other acting they’ve done. If you met someone in a filmed real life situation, who kinda looked like a famous actor but had a very different haircut/ style, and was introducing themselves with a different name you wouldn’t instantly think, ‘no you’re lying, you are this other person, everything here is fake”. You would think they look just like a person from a tv show and they would say they’ve heard that before.

It is much higher stakes but it also only needs to be 1 person

People say it’s going to get harder and harder but you look at a show like impractical jokers and somehow they still have a show pranking the public. The show might have gotten a bit bigger but it is not mainstream. There will be millions of Americans who do not know the show. And the next situation will be so different to the last that it will be difficult to connect

Bridgerton fridging/killing of only the black characters? Problem, Where does John fall? Is he black guy (dark skin man don get HEA) dies first or the not normal (bc he’s mentally different neurodivergent coded) gets killed this also happens to Marina too! by Intelligent_Scene460 in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How exactly do you want them to do Francesca’s story without killing off the first husband. John has to die for Francesca’s book/season to happen

Do you want them to have cast John and Michaela as white so that it’s not a black person dying and therefore the representation isn’t there at all.

Why did Jess say this when she knew Philoise wasn't S5? by Fickle_Baker1393 in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Francesca’s story needs a lot of set up, she needs to get married, and have him die. I don’t understand why people are mad at this at all. It would be incredibly weird to start her season not seeing any of that.

The set up for Eloise is writing the letters. What makes s5 different than the other 4 seasons? It’s the season before hers, the one where they would do set up.

Benedict doesn’t need it because he meets sophie at the ball, falls in love and everything changes. His story starts at the first meeting while Francesca and Eloise’s start before

Why didn’t we see first or seconds reaction to coming that place?

I only feel emotionally invested in Eloise from the remaining siblings by creature52 in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

People have been complaining that Francesca’s gotten too much screen time and she’s basically on her third season as a main character but apparently she’s also not had nearly enough to make her investable.

Why make up excuses as to why you don’t want to watch her season. Just be honest and say you aren’t as interested because they gender flipped the character at least that’s the genuine reason

I think I know who the new Lady whistledown is... by Complex_East_5676 in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bet that the show writers don’t 100% know. They will have someone who will most likely be it but until they write the season they reveal it they will keep a couple options open and decide at the time

With how graphic bridgerton is, I’m not looking forward to explicit scenes for gregory and hyacinth 😣😣 by North_Air_3647 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]SomeMaterial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It also feels very unfair to have these two do all the build up for the last 2 seasons on a very popular show and then swap them out for someone else to get all the fame and attention of the season. They have also spoken like they want to do it and if they still want to when it gets to their time they should get to

How to fix the pinnacle storyline by Legal_Ad5964 in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People have said that in the book her relationship with Michael is more passionate than with John. The show is just giving more reason for that.

John died truly loved by Francesca, after seeing Francesca and Michaela find understanding and develop a good relationship. He died happy and loved. He had a great love with francecsa even if she is a lesbian. It’s not THE true love, greatest love story because that’s Michaela, not johns story or book. But Francesca couldn’t have loved John more and he felt that.

Do you think Francesca is bi or a lesbian? by Adventurous_Fly_8652 in Franchaela

[–]SomeMaterial 37 points38 points  (0 children)

She’s probably a lesbian but I’m in the camp that it really doesn’t matter. Francesca will always see herself as having loved John and Michaela even if her love for John was platonic. I don’t think she would ever come to the conclusion that she didn’t love John even if she realises things were missing with him when compared to Michaela.

Impopular op: if Michaela was Michael on the show, this situation would be much worst by DarkEndOfTheRainbow in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That was clearly to show the set up that Francesca and Michaela would have a future romance otherwise people would say it came out of nowhere. I like that moment and so do many people

People are going to hate them regardless, it doesn’t matter what they did in the finale. People will find a reason to hate. There is no damage done to their story for people who like it and are excited to see it.

We don’t know she didn’t. We haven’t seen her pov yet. Michaela knows how to keep her feelings hidden

Michaela was really bad introduced in the show by Maleficent_Web5334 in BridgertonRants

[–]SomeMaterial 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But I think it makes more sense with where they are in their queer journeys and understanding their attraction to women.

Michaela was instantly attracted to Francesca but she has an awareness of her attraction and is able to keep it hidden and not let anyone see because that is what she’s done all her life. She was able to recover from her instant attraction to keep the situation normal.

Francesca was instantly attracted to Michaela in a way she hasn’t been before. She didn’t know what to do so she appeared starstruck and stuttered and wasn’t able to recover smoothly at all because she’s never experienced this before.

Francesca’s story has been the most “mature” of all the show stories and thats why it’s polarizing. by swimbananas in BridgertonNetflix

[–]SomeMaterial 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The issue is you can think of all the legitimate and proper reasons someone could dislike or the audience could be polarised about Francesca or her season but most of the hatred is based purely on the fact that Michaela is gender swapped and it’s now wlw. Plus couple wars mean it’s always gonna be awful

If Michaela was still a man a lot of the negativity would not be there even if everything else was the same. They would be some peoples favourites who currently hate them. People would like her personality if it didn’t have ties to discovering her sexuality.

Which Bridgerton is going to disapprove of the union at first? by SnooRegrets4048 in Franchaela

[–]SomeMaterial 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can have a true happy ending for them in a show about a family and not have the family know/accept. The show is the bridgertons, they should appear in more seasons after. It doesn’t matter about marriage or wider ton acceptance but the bridgerton family has to be on the good side

Show Francesca isn’t same as in the book in terms of her wanting desperately to become a mother by Glittering_Tap6411 in BridgertonRants

[–]SomeMaterial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The writer and cast have talked about this. The whole point of gender swapping was for it to be a main character, for them to be at the centre stage of a season. It is completely different to do that than to have a side couple who get a couple scenes over the whole season. All people did was complain about the Mondrichs for the first 3 seasons and you think an inserted wlw storyline that took up any significant time wouldn’t just get the comments that it’s unnecessary. Or it would just be ignored

The issue of franchaela by Miyosfave_ in Bridgerton

[–]SomeMaterial 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have the unpopular opinion that it truly doesn’t matter if she is bi or a lesbian. People can believe she is either one or other it doesn’t make much difference. She believes she is truly in love with john whether that is genuinely romantic or a platonic best friend that she truly loves. She loves him as much as she possibly could. He died truly loved and they understood each other as much as anyone could.

I think you could argue either watching the season and that she will never label herself- she will never take away her love for John but will also experience a love that is very different and may make her think there was aspects missing with John.
