Noa and Mae making lovey dovey eyes at each other the whole movie
Part 1
Colin gets upset with Penelope and then continuously turns his back on her, leaving her all alone, abandoning her multiple times. If this is someone's way of handling conflict, that's just not love... She has this view of his back WAY too many times, like she should NOT be having this view of her husband....no one should!
Why would they do this to Colin's character? Colin handles problems head on in the book, he wants to talk it out with Pen immediately and then make out with her. like? that's the essence of Polin. This Colin is so spineless, limp, runs away like a coward!
The most stunning person to ever exist.
Star Wars is so lucky to have Jodie Turner-Smith!! I already know she's going to be my fave character.
In the book, it's Penelope that decides that she's done with being Lady Whistledown, even before Colin situation. She realized she wanted to stop gossiping on the lives of others and wanted to live her OWN life.
Making show!Penelope make LW a feminist thing that she wants to retain unanonymously makes no sense. It doesn't make sense to run a gossip column by name because people will then avoid you? And knew you were snitching??
Furthermore, retiring from LW allowed Penelope to advance to a legitimate career as a novelist and an editor. Which is the true feminist end story for her.
I would have been fine with Colin being angry Penelope until literally the last 25 seconds of the show as long as he was standing by her side, touching her, holding her hand, talking with her, arguing with her. In the show, he wasn't JUST giving her the silent treatment, he was treating her like he HATED her and wanted nothing more than to be away from her. Why would they do this to polin?????
I would have been okay if he just silently seethed next to her, even curtly saying "i don't want to talk about it!", but always by her side, even if he was mad and not saying anything. Just frowning next to her, grumpy + sunshine style
You don't understand how opposite this is to the essence of book!Polin - book polin always argue but then immediately make out and go have sex, like they're always in each other's orbit, even when they are upset with each other. They talk things out, argue head on, deal with issues quickly. I always found that to be such an important and beautiful part of Polin!
