tartapplesauce:apocalypsecanceled:verysharpteeth:willowfae82:verysharpteeth:dead-end-street:Mako knocks Raleigh down a few pegs while the Wei Triplets in the background are just loving it (Stacker nods in solemn agreement).I appreciate Raleigh’s sort of shocked blink at her knocking him, then his expression of total awe right afterwards. THAT’S NOT HOW YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO ACT WHEN SHE QUESTIONS YOUR MANHOOD. And I approve of that reaction.“Did she just questi-…MY GAWD SHE’S REGAL.”You just know that he’s debating Yancy as kid name, or dog name in that last gif.“We’ll have two kids. They’d better look like her. And I wonder if she’ll let me have a border collie.”ok but triplets like FUCK YEAH THAT’S THE MAKO WE KNOWNo, but look - the guy we expect to be the White Saviour Hero who comes in and does what the natives can’t do for themselves gets (a) marked down on his performance by a Japanese woman (b) with the agreement on her assessment by the senior officer in the room who’s a Black man to the © enjoyment of all the background figures - the natives who are the ones who are supposed to need saving - as represented by the Chinese triplets.And del Toro lets us see all this, not in a ‘hit them over the head with the message’ way, but just as ordinary normal little background details. (And that little bit was deliberately put in, either in the script or in the directing; this kind of background business doesn’t ‘just happen’).This is not James Cameron’s Avatar, thank all the gods. -- source link
