Please talk about the mummy returns
pristinepastel said: Hey, i know you like the first mummy, but what about the mummy returns?
I HAVE RETURNEDā¦after like a day.Ā
but what the people want, the people get!
RIGHT SO THE MUMMY RETURNS!
aka the only sequel that is 1000% just as good as the first one. like holy shit.Ā
ten years later and we meet our heroes again. rick and evie are happily married, going on adventures, and evieās dream of becoming a respected scholar has come true and theyāve made a tiny human!Ā
the only unrealistic part being that they only had one kid, i mean they are still all over each other ten years later and youāre telling me they only hadĀ ONE kid.
but boy oā boy is that one kid awesome!Ā
alex oāconnell. this kid is literally:
50% evie super-klutz-genius.Ā
50% rick screams-at-things-that-are-illogical-to-scream-at.Ā
50% uncle jonathanās sheer dumb luck and wit.Ā
10% iām really bad at math.Ā
you get the point. HEāS GREAT. also the actor passed on harry potter because, JUST LIKE ME, the mummy 1999 was his favorite movie and he just HAD to be in the sequel. alex is just such a smart-ass little shit. that much like his mother, accidentally brings about the apocalypse by opening something he shouldnāt have:
ARDETH BAYĀ TIME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. he has a much bigger role in this one. GOD BLESS.Ā (because he was supposed to die in the first one, but test audiences loved him as much as we do, so they kept his fine ass around) he still looks prettier than everyone and is still so done with white people once again.Ā
*after almost being killed on he bus* āthis was my first bus ride.ā*after realizing theyāre gonna make him fly again*Ā āwhy canāt you people ever keep your feet on the ground?ā
heās just such an awesome A+ friend goals, because while he probably needs to go be with other medjai to prepare for battle against anubisā army (yikes), he stays with the fam to rescue alex. it wasnāt even much of a thought for him really, rick and evie just batted their eyelashes and he was like:Ā *sighs*Ā āthese white people are always messing my shit up, but they areĀ my white people.ā
jonathan: still beautifully the same as ever. witty, clever, and would do anything for his family.Ā
ābe quiet alex! if thereās going to be any hysterics, theyāll come from me!ā
āif you see anyone come running out screaming, itās just me.ā
when he boasts about being a good shot and ardeth is internally likeĀ āiām gonna die.ā THEN HE SAVES ARDETH. hell yeah.
rick: heās still screaming at things. BUT IN DAD MODE. heās the ultimate dad.
āyou, lighten up. you, big trouble. you, get in the car.ā*sweetly* āhoney, what are you doing, these guys donāt use doors.āāknowing my brother-in-law, he probably deserves whatever youāre about to do to him, but this is my house and i have certain rules about snakes and dismemberment.ā
evie: still a super-klutz nerd, but with C O N F I D E N C E. little baby librarian is now a honey badger of ASK ME IF I GIVE A FUCK! and also a re-incarnated princess
āno harm ever came from opening a chest.ā
rick: āi swear that kid gets more and more like you every day.āevelyn: āyou mean more attractive, sweet and devilishly charming?ā
we meet izzy, another one of rickās ex boyfriends, who is a much more reliable mode of transportation than previously mentioned murder buses.Ā
imhotep: still emo. still wants to make out with his gf.
anck su namun/meela: hella good villain. she bomb af and 100% wants to take over the world. amazing. she actually has like a really cool role this time too!!! like so much screen time.Ā
the rockā¦i mean the scorpion king, heās another emo villain with goofy cgi rendering and like 4 million terrible made-for-TV spin off movies that you are lying if you havenāt watched at least one of them and felt that utter disappointment. but who cares the rock is pretty. and this was his first acting role and the reason we have him where he is today.Ā
thank you mummy returns for giving the world actor rock johnson #blessed
normal action movie sequel romance: same guy. different girl. repeat of first movieās romance. hehehehhehehehhEHEHEHEHHEHH.Ā
rick and evieās love has only grown stronger. they still bicker like old ladies at bingo night. the still look at each other like they hung the moon. theyāre still disgusting jonathan because they CANNOT KEEP THEIR HANDS TO THEMSELVES. one kid my ass. they still support each other and protect each other like crazy. they love each other so much and itās so healthy and pure and there is some good in this world mr. frodo.
the bottom line here is. whatās the point of watching the mummy 1999 if you arenāt going to watch the mummy returns immediately after?
