hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause

btw how big is the tardis. bc it keeps materializing inside of houses so I'm wondering if their ceilings are high as fuck or if the tardis just isn't that big

[liebelesbe]

3 meters??? High ass ceilings then I suppose

[liebelesbe]

Would the Tardis fit into your house?

yes, in multiple or most spots

no, nowhere inside

maybe in a few spots or in just one spot?

more nuance somehow

arthur petrelli is hilarious to me bc he's so fucking evil and his god complex (or "better than god" complex) is insane but, given the scope of his abilities in mental manipulation, it's sorta bizarre that he didn't take it further, particularly with nathan. like ok you've been reading your son's mind his whole life in order to better control him and 'correct' his 'flaws' (which sparks A LOT of questions wrt nathan's relationship with peter but. i won't get into that rn), you know that his nature is at odds with your expectations and he's just barely keeping it together, sooo why not use the other aspects of that power to mold him into the man you'd like him to be? we know that arthur has no qualms about using powers to force ppl to behave/feel a certain way, and nathan's whole vibe when he's in politician mode is already so uncanny i can't really imagine that scrambling his mind a bit would be anything but an improvement for arthur's purposes. which leads me to the EXTREMELY BANAL conclusion that arthur prefers manipulating ppl the old-fashioned way as much as possible bc it satisfies his ego

and of course it speaks to the extent to which narcissistic men project themselves onto their sons. arthur treating nathan (the son he acknowledges at all) as an extension of himself, refusing to accept that what he demands of nathan could only be achieved by stepford wives-ing him into a new person. any perceived failure or weakness of nathan's interpreted by arthur as a poor reflection of himself, especially given other characters' remarks about nathan reminding them of a younger arthur. and arthur being so fucking affronted by Baby's First Act of Defiance that he decides to kill nathan over it, which, again, is so funny bc he never even tries to solve that dilemma with telepathy ? same method he could've used to convince his son to stop pursuing a single legal case he'd rather use to convince his wife that murdering their son is a great idea. even from arthur's fucked up loveless pov, he's irrationally scrapping a nearly 40-year investment that 1) literally cannot be replaced 2) still has plenty of potential to be profitable, which makes the attempt(s) read even moreso as a petty temper tantrum stemming from his belief that he deserves unquestioned domain over everything and everyone.

anyways there's so much to be said about the self-defeating nature of evil and how the object of power is power and whatever but this shit is so banal it makes my eyes glaze overrrrrr arthur petrelli !! you dime-a-dozen disney ass villain you trite motherfucker you crusty dusty republican FLOP

Ooh okaaaaay I have a few thoughts about this although I definitely broadly agree with your take - first one is merely practical; we see with Rene and Sandra particularly (but also with Arthur and Angela) that these mind wiping/manipulation powers cause actual physical damage to the brain, and if they're used too many times then they can cause scarring (as per Linderman telling Angela "I can heal the scars") and even result in mortal damage (Sandra gets very close to this in S1). So while (obviously) Arthur doesn't have a problem with either using his powers when he needs to or killing his son, he doesn't want to just accidentally end up killing Nathan when he can still use him. I also think he tends to hold back on using his powers unless he feels he has to, yes because he prefers to do it the old-fashioned way, but I think particularly with his family, as the patriarch he expects them to fall into line with his plans and do what he says/what he wants them to. I think he ends up using his powers on Angela so much precisely because she is so strong-willed, and I think that's why the Angela we see during the canon timeline is so much stronger and more manipulative than the weaker-willed, meeker Angela we tend to see in flashbacks (even her family notices the difference; see Peter saying to Angela "I know you've been feeling free to speak your mind since dad died, but it wouldn't hurt to edit yourself once in a while" which is kinda ouch given the actual context, which Peter obviously doesn't know about). Meanwhile, Nathan has been manipulated from birth to be exactly who his father wants him to be ("I made you"/injecting him with a potential power since he was already a disappointment and born without one), and even though Nathan can never Actually Be who his father wants him to be/be his father, he's primed to pretend he is. (I actually don't think Arthur wants Nathan to be another him anyway, even if he finds Nathan's emotions distasteful - he wants a puppet that he can control). And then with the incest thoughts (and all the other secret little thoughts and feelings Nathan has that his father disapproves of); these are just more fodder for Arthur to use to manipulate him; to make Nathan feel like he's in the panopticon and his father can read his every thought, even though that's ridiculous and impossible (...) and it just makes Nathan control himself and try and be who his father wants even more in a desperate and futile attempt to please Arthur and gain his approval.

I do think it's crazy he didn't just use telepathy to stop Nathan pursuing the Linderman case though...but maybe it's difficult because that's not something he can completely isolate Nathan away from, since it's a case the DA has asked him to bring (and both Peter and Arthur ask him to pass it to another ADA); whereas with Angela, who's she gonna tell that Arthur is trying to kill Nathan? That's a family matter, and even though Linderman opts to heal her in the end so she remembers, there really isn't anyone who knows about the situation (i.e. someone in the company) who she can trust and who has the power to fight back against Arthur.

i kind of hate it when they cast the same 10 superstars who are in literally everything in a movie. celebrity-sickness

not every movie needs to be an ensemble cast of timothee chalamet, zendaya, tom holland, robert pattinson, and anya taylor-joy
