Hi!
Just so you know, with you being such a big part of my DWP experience back in the day, I’d love to hear what you thought of The Devil Wears Prada 2, especially with its very mixed reviews from fans.
I hope you’re well and I look forward to possibly hearing by what you think ☺️
You have no idea what it did for me to have you say I was part of your DWP experience. Generally so touched! I loved being part of that fandom - particularly in the Livejournal days. We were all truly living then weren’t we? Take me back pre-Lezziemanville to the Kitnkabootle days!
For the most part, I loved the movie.
I found the character jumps a little jarring at first. I didn’t want Miranda to talk so much. Or to be at her summer home all giddy. I know it probably sounds weird because while I saw what they were doing — showing us the characters on the other side of lived experiences — I wanted to see the same ones from before: Terrifying Miranda, floundering Andy.
The movie needed about 90% less boyfriend dialogue and I didn’t like Emily’s arc…
But overall I did love to see my girls again! The end felt like they landed the plane. Miranda and Andy were never going to be canonically a safe team. The power dynamics weren’t ever even. But I like it that way. I never wanted them to get married, and take the kids to the beach for the weekend. I wanted that weird, off-footed predator/prey thing they’ve always had going. Don’t get too comfortable, someone’s going to get hurt. They gave us that continued dynamic canonically.
What’s probably the most weird thing to admit, is that I hadn’t been craving the sequel at all.
Over the years, I’ve read DWP 2 in so many iterations: @chilly-flame , @ubiquitousmixie , @telanu, the authors of one shots, of AUs, of works four times longer than the original film script. The gift all these people shared with each other gave us the continuing story.
DWP2 just feels like icing on the cake.
Thanks sweetie pie, it was fun to think about ♥️
