I say, jolly good show, chaps. And did I panic? I think not.

#the comic relief who is genuinely comic  #and who makes the ‘incompetent bufoon’ trope actually work as an endearing quality as originally intended  #well played movie - well played  #john hannah  #WHAT A FOX

#but! BUT!!!#THE GREAT THING ABOUT JONATHAN#IS HE’S NOT INCOMPETENT#he can read ancient Egyptian albeit not as well as his baby sister#he clearly has an interest in archaeology if only for treasure-related reasons#he had to go through intensive schooling to get the sort of permit required#to even have digs of his own#WHICH HE CLEARLY DOES#on a dig down in Thebes#he says and Evie believes him#Jonathan reads from the Book of the Living and he’s an excellent shot with a rifle and is clearly a boxer#Jonathan is SO COMPETENT and SO IMPORTANT#while simultaneously being plucky comic relief without JUST being plucky comic relief#u get me?

Johnathan is one of my favourite characters because despite being the comic relief, he is so fucking clever. hell, in the sequel, he puts his life on the line to distract anck su namun while his nephew uses the book of the dead to bring back evie. Also, he even helps his nephew with the book because the nephew is stuck on the stork symbol that he was stuck on in the first movie and despite it probably being there for a continuity nod, it still shows that he does have a pretty great memory and is a decent learner.

Also he can pick the head off a pygmy mummy from 200 meters away.
