i can’t talk shit about the pirates of the caribbean films as if elizabeth swann becoming pirate king didn’t hand my entire ass to me and make me the gay i am today
these 2 looks basically defined my sexuality and i’m not afraid to admit it
things pirates of the caribbean got right:
1. will and elizabeth’s love story
2. elizabeth becoming pirate king
3. avoiding sexualizing elizabeth or the other female pirate characters in the first 3 films by allowing them to wear period-accurate pirate outfits that aren’t tailored to be revealing and impractical for ‘sex appeal’ just because they’re women
4.
hans zimmer’s entire score but especially the iconic ‘he’s a pirate’ main theme
5. Letting the characters show a complete range of emotions including grief and dealing with death
6. Letting the characters naturally grow and evolve based the the consequences of their actions/decisions that doesnt seem forced and/or providing a backstory that indicates the present is the result of the evolution.
7. Will’s face when he asks Elizabeth to marry him and she screams Barbara’s name.
Hey just throwing this out there…..but Rose Lalonde is so much for than some pseudo-intellectual snarky broad, she is the chaotic neutral who does what she fucking wants, literally destroying one of the seven gates, daring to question lovecraftian horrors and resolved herself to a suicide mission TWICE (what else can you say going after jack is)
Rose Lalonde is a hurricane, Rose Lalonde does not simply settle for what she is given, she is action, she is rash decisions and raw emotion and self satisfaction and I will always love her for it.
rose has dirks strategic mind but roxys extremely chaotic energy
So with all the ish that Edward Elric goes through, did anyone else realize that a rock
is the thing that leaves a scar
FOR 21 EPISODES.
That’s a third of the series. For a third of the series- with every fight and battle that the Fullmetal Alchemist is in, it’s a ROCK that marks him for a third of the series.
Actually !! The scar that ed has during the rest of the series isn’t from a rock. He first gets it in his fight with the Slicer brothers in Episode 8:
and then we see him bleeding on his forehead:
Episode 9 we see him with the bandages:
Episode 10 when travelling to Rush Valley and Dublith, the bandages are gone:
AND THEN in episode 13 we see him reopen it in his fight with Greed:
More bandages in Episode 14 and 15:
episode 16 - 20 no bandages:
and then in episode 21 he reopens the scar AGAIN when the rock hits him
episode 22:
again with them bandages: episode 23 - 31
episode 32 he has the scar now:
and then its finally healed in episode 44!!
it healed along with his wound from getting impaled
both brotherhood and arakawa are amazing at adding in details like this its amazing tbh
arakawa actually mentions it in a manga extra that the reason he keeps getting cut there is because the skin is thin from the first blade cut so its really easy for him to reopen it while fighting.
i love how little details like this arent just… forgotten. It makes the world feel more real. like every action has lasting consequences. This and the fact that nina is referenced multiple times make it feel like nothing is swept under the rug
