Felicia's Melange: Star Trek Movie: SPOILERZZZZ

thisfeliciaday:

You are officially spoiled if you read below, NO COMPLAINTS!

Up front I will say I enjoyed this latest Star Trek movie a lot. It was super noisy, but enjoyable, beautifully executed, and I particularly like some of the secondary characters, Spock was excellent, etc etc. I just want to share an…

I’m absolutely down for defending the first-class status of genre fiction that boldly goes where no or few stories have gone before. But if you think that working science fiction and fantasy relieves you of your obligations to coherent plotting and character behavior, or if it’s an engine to deliver free naked ladies, then you can stay in your mom’s basement, and off my bandwagon.

If you follow me on twitter, you know I watch Game of Thrones. Admittedly, my roommate and I watch it pretty casually: we call it Game of Boobs and every time there’s a scene with boobs we take a tea break. (We like to have a lot of tea breaks. And boy, we get a lot of tea breaks.)

I’ve read the books (BECAUSE I HAVE READ ALL BOOKS) though my roomie hasn’t. So I went in hoping Brienne would be amazing, and hoping as I still hope that she and Jaime would GET MARRIED and be TOGETHER 5EVA.

My engagement with Game of Thrones has really been stepped up this season, because I remembered how much I liked this, and the actors are killing it.

It was always going to be my kryptonite, because I love sass and also BRAVE LADIES!!! (I don’t know why, as I’m a total coward myself.)

I also love me some TROPE SUBVERSION. I have never met a trope I didn’t want to subvert. 

So seeing the brave warrior clasp the swooning damsel, and having the brave warrior be a lady and the swooning damsel a dude, is something I very much enjoy. Hence my reblogging of these pictures.

And of course, it’s more complicated than that: the swooning damsel is a guy we’re introduced to as a VERY BAD MAN (which is true), and someone who has a lot of manly power—son of a powerful dude, awesome at fighting—and who becomes a stronger character for having many traditional markers of strength taken away from him. 

So, the two things I love. 1) Trope subversions and 2) Complications.

Yeah, Sarah kept talking about this amazing lady that was coming and I was looking forward to her, but I had no idea she was going to break my heart with love every moment that she was on screen. This scene just about killed me.
