REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005) dir. George Lucas | RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) dir. George Lucas

Since it's about to be new years eve soon I want to remind everyone that this evening really does not have to be the biggest adventure party experience. Dinner with your parents? Awesome! Board games with a few friends? Nice! Watching a movie alone and going to bed early? Yes! Taking care of your pet? Good! Going to the party that does not seem as great as you expected? Well, there are so many other nights that can be better. We always force ourselves to have a wild and crazy life changing night but in the end it is just one night of so many more, do what you want to do, do what makes you feel comfortable.

Never mind the “Who shot first?” stuff; THIS is the defining moment of the Han Solo character:

Everyone else was just like: “Oh, fuck: It’s Vader!” and standing around in shock and terror when Vader was revealed. Even Chewie.

Most people, I suspect, would have that reaction.

Meanwhile, Han’s first reaction, instinctively, in less than a second, was to grab a gun and try to flat-out end the guy.

He failed, of course. But God Damn if you can’t appreciate the effort.

Also, he grabs his girl’s hand. Not only is he going to end Vader, he’s going to do so while reassuring the woman he loves that this monster who tortured her won’t hurt her again as long as he’s there to do something about it.

The point of this scene:

Han was nothing to Vader. Not really. Han was just a normal, average guy. Vader didn’t think too much of him.

“I have superpowers; you don’t!”

But then: doesn’t Han show more love, affection, guts and courage in this moment than any Jedi warrior ever could?

Thus, Vader is shown up.

Attempting to kill an evil wizard with a regular gun is one of the most Han Solo things ever. I don’t think most people would even bother trying, because you can’t just shoot Darth Vader, right? Of course not. But Han’s gonna goddamn try it anyway.

mysharona1987

Yeah, basically’ Han tried.

Sometimes that’s all you can ever ask of someone.

Just one of many reasons I love this man

With Han, you never have to wonder, “Why didn’t he just shoot them?” Whenever you’d think that, he shoots them.

thefingerfuckingfemalefury

Han Solo is a practical soul and if he’s got the chance to just shoot them he’s gonna take it

#ironically this turned into a thesis on why han probably shot first

Odin: Loki, son, I need to talk to you.

Loki: Yes, Father?

Odin: You are becoming a young man. There are some things in your past that may come to light and your mother and I haven’t told you before in fear it would upset you.

Loki: … Yes?

Odin: At the final battle of Jotunheim, I found an infant. It was small and malnourished - a child Laufey sought not to claim for its power was in magic, not in physical strength.

Loki: …

Odin: I took you from that battle, son, and your mother and I have loved you ever since.

Loki: Sssso… this is why you prefer Thor.

Odin: This is why I spend so much more time with Thor, yes. He is like me in that he has a temper to be tamed and physical strength he allows to take over when that anger boils over. Your mother is talented with magic and is clever with words as you are. Me being more like Thor doesn’t make me love you any less than I love him.

Loki: … Does Thor know?

Odin: He will if you wish him to.

Loki: We aren’t family, then.

Odin: You are my son by love as your mother is my wife by marriage. Blood means little in the way of kin.

Loki: But I can’t become king of Asgard.

Odin: … Which is another reason I spend so much time with your headstrong brother as he’ll eventually have to do public speaking outside of ‘thor swing hammer’ and he doesn’t have the gilded tongue you do.

Loki: Ah. Well. … Okay.

Odin: Okay?

Loki: Okay. … So he isn’t your favorite?

Odin: Your mother is my favorite.

and thus the entire movie line was avoided.

They invented the “Multiverse”…they opened that door. This exists…somewhere, and it makes me happy.

What makes me so mad is that snow queen is such a lovely tale and there was an evil mirror that shattered and froze the queen’s heart. So the first thing the newly evil queen does is PLUNGE THE KINGDOM INTO ETERNAL WINTER.

And the kid Anna is based off of is actually this sweet peasant girl who is rescuing her best friend whom everyone else thought drowned and whom no one cared for because mirror shards got in his eyes and he only saw beauty in snowflakes while everything else was just disgustingly foul to him. Except he didn’t drown because he was whisked away by the snow queen.

Like this girl gives her shoes to the river to find out he didn’t drown. Her hair ribbons to the birds to find out who took him. Works her hands raw to get to him and has to suffer a mental breakdown because she got SO FUCKING CLOSE to saving him and he won’t even look at her because he wants to solve this puzzle the snow queen gave him.

And then her sobbing wakes him up and he cries and washes the shards from his eyes and the fact that she saved him is enough to melt the snow queens heart and she brings spring back to the kingdom.

Let’s not forget Gerda’s journey takes her along a long road that includes meetings with multiple women, many of them old, most of whom are not evil witches but wise women who aid her in her quest. She’s also at one point held captive by a bandit princess who swaps clothes with her and insists on sleeping in the same bed and routinely threatens her with a knife, but she eventually lets Gerda go with a magic talking reindeer she was also holding captive. The bandit princess cries because goddamn Gerda you’re so NICE and PRETTY and BRAVE and you clearly care about this stupid guy I GUESS and I can’t bear it just GO ok just GO and also you better fucking take care of her reindeer or I will CUT YOU.

The story is full of interesting complex women of many ages and magical talking animals and it’s a real shame we didn’t get an adaptation closer to the original ‘cause it’s really cool.

asparklethatisblue

hey good news about the adaption:

There was a Soviet animated movie from 1957, that doesn’t brush over any of the things you just listed.

You get Gerda on her journey, meeting all of those people that both hinder her quest and help her, with older women from different regions of northern europe, as well as several princesses who aid her

also the art style and animation is absolutely gorgeous and I always feel like it’s a shame that older Soviet animation is barely recognized around the world

you can see the entire thing with english subtitles here

@latent-thoughts I’ve seen that Soviet cartoon! I remember it from my childhood, loved it, and it’s often in my mind when I am working on The Frost Queen!
