Jupiter Ascending is a glorious mess and my questions are many
- Okay I had to duck out for a minute so I missed the transition between "I'm going to sell my eggs" and "Channing Tatum rescued me from Presumably Bad Guys" but wasn't there....something about that blonde lady whose house Jupiter was cleaning? Weren't they looking for her?
- The bee motifs: they never actually went anywhere??? Why can bees sense royalty? I assume they were the symbol of the House Abraxas or something since all their magic space goo containers are hexagons but the Harvesting thing doesn't really follow through on the metaphor. Also it's a little weird that Sean Bean's name is Stinger, and he lives in a house full of bees, unless he....really misses the Space Army.....?
- Channing Tatum tore a guy's throat out with his teeth, and can...smell genetic markers for the Abraxas family? Or just royalty in general? Discuss???
- If I was a giant winged lizard I wouldn't fuck around dropping people from great heights or strangling them I would probably just snap their necks, this would have saved everyone a great deal of trouble
- Why does Eddie Redmayne need Jupiter to abdicate? If the protectorate of Earth devolves to her family, which he already has whole and entire in his torture chairs, he can kill them all and the whole shebang should just revert back to him? Since he had it originally? IT'S NOT LIKE THE SPACE COPS ARE GOING TO STOP HIM.
- Apparently Gugu Mbatha-Raw is playing a DEER hybrid and not a BAT hybrid, which is bullshit.
- When Channing Tatum interrupted the wedding and told Jupiter that Brother Who Is Not Eddie Redmayne was going to kill her and inherit her stuff once they were married, did anyone else want her to slap her hand down on the UV wedding ring tattoo pad, wait for it to finish, and then shoot him right there? He was already at gunpoint! You already had 3/4 of a UV wedding ring tattoo! You could have inherited all his worlds and saved them from the harvest!
- SPEAKING OF SAVING THINGS FROM THE HARVEST, there approximately 100000 things Jupiter could be doing other than still cleaning toilets. Bringing lifesaving technologies to Earth! Learning how to defend Earth and PRESUMABLY ALL OF EDDIE REDMAYNE'S TERRITORY from space poachers and the rest of the Abraxases! Attempting to reform the Space Police, who are apparently A-OK with genocide, but only CERTAIN types of kidnapping??? Making out with your Alien Dice boyfriend is certainly a priority but I'm just saying.
THESE ARE MY QUESTIONS. DISCUSS???
