It is almost time for my annual rewatch of Let It Snow.
Happy 30th Birthday to Mitchell Hope. You and Ben still deserve better than what you got from both franchise and fandom.
Happy 27th birthday the amazing actor Mitchell Hope. You deserve better than what you got.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
Little forlorn right now
I’ve just realised that if Mitchell Hope is ever in another role that requires him to have a face full of fuzz the result will probably not be as magnificent as the fuzz Ben had when he was debeasted in descendants three. I’ll still obsess over it, because, come on, it’s Mitchell Hope, how could I not, but it most likely won’t be the same
I saw that photo set of Ben
First off. Loving Mitchell’s stance. It’s impeccable. The bal photo on the bedside table was very very cute. Now on to my teensy little gripe. The portraits above the bed. Why? The only explanation I can think of is that it’s a deterrent for him and Mal when she stays over (they’re eighteen by film three, and my own personal headcanons about the night of cotillion aside, they may be royalty. But they’re still eighteen years old. You do the math). What gets me about this is that it’s not just small photos blutacked to the wall. It’s giant freaking official court portraits hung above the bed. “We are watching and we shall know if you sin”. They’re already a bunch asses but this is some next level shit. Once again Disney is trying to cover their tracks with the radar dodging and failing horribly. Loving Mitchell’s stance though.
Instances when I was pleasantly surprised by Mitchell in let it snow
The bleeding nipple running gag. Started out gross. But I was laughing by the end
Broomball. Great piece of physical comedy. Though I did get worried about the bleeding nipple a couple of times
Swearing. From telling a car to move her ass like he knows she can to the three times he said “shit” when he realises he left his jacket in the church after the big argument
The big argument. Oh my dear god. I loved that. It’s probably the biggest confirmation for me Mitchell can pull off hurt but genuinely nice really well.
The keg. I knew it. The moment he and Keon were in the phone next to the keg I fucking knew he’d steal it. And oh my god I love that he did cause it’s the exact dumbass move I’d expect from a teen movie.
The rant at the Reston’s. Hilarious. Dorky. Tiny bit scary. And just perfect. Add in the fact he looks genuinely unhinged in that moment. It was all I wanted from descendants basically
The love confession. The “wanting to kill JP” thing was a tad much. But eh. To be expected. The kid’s a teenager. They say stupid things. When they’re feelings intense emotions and he was coming from an emotional place cause he did ask if they could still hang out with the guy so. Not as bad as it could’ve been.
The kiss. Loved it. Gotta ask though. Is he gonna make a career out of intense lip locking? Cause if so. I am not complaining
The dork dancing. Yeah there wasn’t an Elvis moment but at least it looked like actually rhythmless dancing I’d expect from a party full of teens who are most likely sozzled
The shaving scene. He does look skinnier then in d1. And I quite like like that. Looks like a normal person and less like he’s got professional trainers like Ben probably has. It’s a nice little attention to detail. Though I was ogling a little bit so..
Disney paid him dust but Netflix is delivering. And I thank them for that. I really do. The man ain’t a one note wander. And he should be recognised and acknowledged for it. So in essence. Fuck you Disney. Fuck you.
Now all that’s left is for Zachary Gibson to get more work that I will do my best to see and the duology of the male descendants cast members that got shafted by the franchise getting acknowledgement outside of Disney will be complete
@emeraldlithe @carneirosthings
What I’ll never forgive descendants for
No bal duet
No Devie duet
No Uma solo
Harry’s existence
Audrey being forgiven not dying
Harry not drowning
Ben and Doug/Mitchell and Zachary being basically ignored by ads and interviews when they are the main male lead and secondary romantic lead respectively
Ben only being shirtless once (yes he got soaked through thrice. But. I needed. The torso.
Doug never wearing T-shirt’s (I saw the picture of Zachary shirtless on the horse and it opened my third eye)
All the damned auto tune and needless rapping
And so much more
