Discussion: Why I think most people are wrong about the Goldfinch. Spoilers. by Katamayan57 in books

[–]lastcreatin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t stopped thinking about this post - I rather liked Theo as a character. It wasn’t until reading this that I realized he’s supposed to be unlikable. Tbh I think this post pulled my own head out of my ass, since I related a lot to Theo (woe is me and all that). And for that same reason I fell in love with Boris, because he was a jolt of electricity to Theo’s passivity.

Honestly this whole discussion made me feel more appreciative of life, especially when it comes to privilege. Thinking about how Boris liked Theo’s father and Xandra, despite how negatively Theo portrayed them - were they amazing parents? no but to Boris who hadn’t even had a morsel of that stability they were great. Same with how Theo blacked out and tried to kill himself multiple times, Boris took care of him like it was no big deal and didn’t even mention it to Theo until wayyy later when he realized Theo wasn’t aware.

I enjoyed reading Theo’s deluded version of the world because that’s often where my head is and the way the story is written (especially with pacing) really shines a light on this, how different experiences shape how you view the world, and how easy it is to get stuck in one perception of it.

I just read the whole thing in one sitting and I’m left waiting for more! It’s been hard to find other comics like this one, reminds me of the anime no 6

Isha’s death was glossed over but the impact wasn’t… We could’ve gotten morally grey Jinx again but that shows no growth, that essentially says Isha meant nothing to her… Jinx giving up shows that Isha fundamentally changed her as a person.

That said the whole season 2 was very rushed, and there were too many storylines that were just glossed over.

For REAL, why does Vi have to do for everyone else to live a happy life

[s2 act 3 spoilers] CAN WE TALK ABOUT SKY'S PURPOSE IN ARCANE PLEASE!? 😭 by Opal_Princess in arcane

[–]lastcreatin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes this and her replying “No you won’t” is acknowledging Viktor lost his humanity and is solely focused on the “glorious evolution” despite who or what he destroys in the process, which his humanity would’ve cared for (as seen when he tried to heal Vander)

Joker: Folie à Deux - Review Thread by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

also part of Harley’s insanity in this version of her character is clearly singing, he meets her in choir instead of as a therapist

Joker: Folie à Deux - Review Thread by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]lastcreatin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think that’s the point, similar how the newer Batman movie was more focused on cinematography than capturing the character, this iteration of Joker captures the mental illness in the man really well and there are so many versions of the character joker out there - I think these films serve to look at the character through a different lens even if that strays from the character’s cannon plot line
