THOUGHTS ON CUTGATE

umm what is going on 😭✌️

so from what i've seen cutgate is a theory that revolves around a doc posted on twitter. main point is that netflix had significant portions of volume 2 cut.

it would explain a lot of the inconsistencies we had in terms of plot.(max and el's reunion being so muted, max and will's reunion being so emotional, mike having 0 screen time or character growth)

it would explain the promo inconsistencies. (noah saying him & finn spent the most time together, shawn saying noah and finn would carry a lot of emotional weight in v2, maya mentioning scenes in a basement)

it would also explain the release inconsistencies. v2 wasn't finished editing and runtimes weren't released until december. v1 was finished and runtimes were released a month in advance.

First of all I want to say don't go blindly into believing this!! I know there is a lot of evidence pointing towards it. and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that things WERE cut from volume 2. that happens in all movies & tv. HOWEVER i don't think the amount that was cut was this extensive. that's just insane.

on a personal note, part of me wants to believe it. maybe the writing wasn't as bad as we thought and the plot holes were because the story was censored. there has to be hope for this show, right? so many cast and crew members would've had to be straight up lying. there was an odd amount said about volume 2 that was completely false. a big cut could make sense. but then I don't want to subject myself to this hope to be disappointed anyway, like we already have been. i hate being delusional. it all feels like copium

Finally-- what is the point? Even if it's true, what will happen? The cut scenes won't be released, volume 2 is already out 😭. there's literally 4 days to the finale. they can't just change the story. or push back the date, considering v3 is being released in theaters. they can't fit these scenes into the finale.

me when i see shawn levy claus coming down my chimney with a suspiciously byler shaped sack

[joc8la]

biggest byler proof is the snowball avalanche scene, because like genuinely WHAT is the point of it? to make the heartbreak for will worse when mike rejects him?? 😭😭 umm yeah no.

[joc8la]

the way we are literally living through the bylerenaissance

[joc8la]

i dont think i'll ever get over the field scene like im still giggling and kicking my feet at EVERY edit with it. the color palatte is really pleasing and comforting. it is so beautifully shot and they are just sooo babygirl and flirty and cutesy

[joc8la]

who up holding they pipe in the dih bathroom 🥀

[joc8la]

wait why do you guys think mike walked away from will after the shove like genuinely why did he do that

brokeback mountain & byler

the first thing that stood out to me was their clothes. Jack and Mike in blue, Will and Ennis in a light yellow/brown. Jack and Mike are both in the dark, with Ennis and Will in the light. both scenes take place in a cabin...the images mirror each other nearly perfectly.

I didn't really think their characters matched...but after reading a bit about their color coding, i was completely convinced. brokeback info is sourced from here.

"Blue often represents loyalty and trust..."

"as well as melancholy, pointing to Jack’s reliability between the two and his forthcoming depression around their growingly infrequent encounters post-marriage."

"it’s no surprise that Jack introduces himself in the moment..."

"...does all the unabashed initial staring, eventually initiates the romance, and becomes the strung-along party."

"Ennis, on the other hand, just wants to keep his head down and make the proverbial boss happy."

"His rugged get-up is the opposite of Jack’s in color – innocent, modest, natural."

"...keeping his thoughts to himself..."

"...having the occasional violent outburst or compulsive side-of-the-road vomit forged by the fire of regret."

this is SO CRAZY! I made the connection of the cabin scenes, but I did not expect there to be this many parallels between the characters! if you have anything else to add or think im crazy...comment/reblog 😭 if you've never seen brokeback mountain, highly recommend. i reached the image limit in this post, (teehee) but i will make another one with a couple other parallels. if you made it this far, thanks for reading 😇
