It’s another art form: again, if you don’t get that, you’re missing another point.

I just… I don’t understand what people don’t seem to understand. It’s not meant to be a totally exact representation of the novel. WHO SAID IT WAS?! WHO said it should be?! Let art and interpretations of it BE.

Which can sort of, thinly and weakly, be broken down to: hurt people hurt people. And other hurt people perpetuate it or strain against it and live or fail.

It’s brutal. It’s explicit, & the last thing it’s is romantic & if you can’t see that I worry about your definition of ‘romance’.

If you disagree - why? Why do you feel so viscerally that any interpretation that is not vile, violently explicit and toxic as hell is incorrect?! It is not a romance at all. If you think it was, in any respect, you need to go see a therapist because that is 100% missing the point of that novel.

That novel is super fucked up. Film adaptations give and take and edit. That’s what the medium is for. To reinterpret which is what it does anyway. I think what better director to direct a movie version of a novel like WH than Fennell?! I think she’s perfect and I honestly think Brönte would agree.

And please tell me what movie made a decent version of this novel? None of not one was true. This is NOT a romance. It was never meant to be a romance. If you think it is, you’re not paying attention.

And yet Miranda nearly turned down an apartment because a neighbour had a yappy dog. Good lord.

None of it made sense. I honest to Christ on two nailed sticks wished I hadn’t been so curious but I was a huge gay teen fan from the start and - ugh. This was… it was a tragedy watch for sure.

Finally watched the last episodes.

New theory:
All of #AndJustLikeThat was written by AI.

I am 90% convinced. The storylines make way more sense with their nonsense this way.

You **know** he was shown how to do it because I will say this: it ALWAYS looks consistent.

And that is not a compliment to that breathing excuse of walking human skin.

It’s just a fact.
That is all.

The implication of language used versus the sexes discussed. Jesus Christ.

This is why we tell each other to just not bother with reviews.

Yeah it’s almost as if the writers in their vast privilege don’t remember how normal people live. 🤔

My theory, as a writer, is they’re all high as shit and writing these storylines week to week because nothing else makes sense.

Don’t get me started on the Samantha texts. Jesus H. Christ. That’s petty as fuck. Let the character go. Just make up a plane crash or something. KC would be popping if she cared. What a petty lack of respect.
