"Emily Brontë doesn't care, why do you??" well first off she's dead, so she literally can't care, which is why it's my sacred duty as a wuthering heights fan to be a huge bitch about this horrible adaptation on her behalf

i saw the casting announcement for wuthering heights (2026) before reading the book, and assumed that heathcliff's miscasting was because the character was subtly not white, or it was mentioned here and there without much relevance to the plot beyond subtext, etc. (which still wouldn't have made it ok btw). but now i'm reading it and every single scene with him in it reads like:

'then appeared heathcliff, who was not white. he not-white-ly entered the room, where everyone else was white, unlike him. "aah! a not white!" they all shouted. he cried. "i wish i were white," he said. "don't worry, maybe your non-white parents were rich in non-white countries," said nelly. he was then called ten slurs, because he was not white, and left.'

like emily bronte literally beats us over the head with it every five seconds. what do you MEAN they cast jacob fucking elordi

He wrote about person of color being abused by white people, and later in life abusing white people himself. Oh, and there were a love story too? Which also pissed people back then XD

The new hot take on other parts of the internet about Wuthering Heights is that if you wanted Heathcliff to be cast as a man of color, you're racist, because Heathcliff is a terrible abuser, and why would you want a man of color put in that role and I am going to tear my SKIN OFF.

Heathcliff comes back as a vengeful adult because he was subject to YEARS of racist abuse!! The book is a commentary on English classism and racism!!!! This is why most adaptations of this source material don't WORK. But in this film they don't even cast a white man and then like, pretend he's not white by the way he'd addressed (such as in the Ralph Fiennes and Tom Hardy versions). Heathcliff isn't just getting revenge on the specific people who harmed him. He's getting revenge on like, society. People like Hindley and Edgar are avatars for every slur he's had thrown at him.

People being like "Heathcliff is toxic, why EVER would you make him a man of color" utterly ignore the context of how Heathcliff ends up the way he does. Like, obviously not every abused person turns out like Heathcliff, but that's the story Emily Bronte is telling here to make her point. The way this movie is set up, it's two people of color preventing two white people from getting together, which is sure. A choice.

I love the little bit of shadiness that Glinda has towards Dorothy. There’s a lot going on, and she doesn’t really have time to deal with this. She could have told her to take the Emerald City train! But she didn’t. That’s a little shady, Glinda! So I leaned all the way into Glinda sort of having an eye roll for Dorothy whenever she has to deal with her. — Ariana Grande via Empire Magazine

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.
