that whole scene where howl is telling Sophie that she’s beautiful in the meadow is fucking hilarious when you compare that against book!howl and the consistent comments about what a horrid and nosy woman she is
AND the book scene where she’s like “what the fuck you could TELL that I was cursed?? Why didn’t you do anything about it?” and he’s like “idk I thought you just liked being an old lady, that’s your business”
i dont even mean this in an exaggerated “haha this sucks lol” way i mean that avengers endgame is just a three hour compilation of “hey remember this guy? remember when this happened? do you get this reference? do you get this callback?” + a big ugly muddy CGI battle that exists for the sole purpose of eliciting cheers out of an audience. you strip all that away or even just reduce it and it’s nothing
