Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 1hI THINK it's just the way they bicker like an old married couple that's the joke, rather than any particular queer commentary, but as the only one whose opinion we trust is gone now, who knows... 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 1hOh, it was absolutely for commercial reasons, I'm just saying the narrative justification isn't unreasonable. 000

Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 3hOh, I'm not saying the narration didn't work, I'm just saying they overused it - we didn't need it describing the departure of Death as we were watching it, for example. 110
Reposted by LocopellsLiz Gwynne @lizgwyn.bsky.social · 14hIt does make me sad that we're all talking about this because a tired and exhilarated new dad made his first ever dad joke (is that a thing in the US too?) and Bluesky didn't get the joke🤷♀️ 231
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 12hThe post on Twitter turned out to be a late night, sleep-deprived joke, that he later deleted - but not before everyone here had had a chance to have a meltdown about it... 030
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 12hThe second series actually removes large chunks of the book... 010

Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 12hPlease God no, producers really need to get that Dahl does not work if you try to turn the weirdness up further than the source material. 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 12hNot necessarily, the second series actually cut quite a lot... 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 12hYeah, and a pretty shit one at that. Percy Jackson has proved that the movie to series model can work... 010
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 12hThere's enough excuses to dunk on JKR without inventing frivolous ones - we did the whole "No, the Worst Witch did not invent the concept of magic schools" thing here about two years ago... 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hA and C eternally getting mistaken for a gay couple is one of the running side jokes in the book, if they were ever actually meant to be, that wouldn't have worked. NG just seemed to have a habit of diversifying his adaptations, to cover his own shortcomings... 220
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hAnd even then they rather overused the narrator, at times where they weren't really needed... 110
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hIt's pretty good, although as said, it does contrive to basically skip the last third of the book. 010
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hAnd rather killed the surprise of seeing Lyra's world interact with ours. (Not helped by Lyra's world being significantly less visually distinct from ours than the film version was) 150
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hYeah, and Caspian is done dirty because of it. Susan and Lucy have most of their contributions cut for a start. I get the impression they wanted the rush through it to get to Voyage.. (It's also one of the main reasons that the film version is arguably the better one, for all its shortcomings) 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hThe Borrowers did the same, they did all four books in two series. (Yes, I know there's actually five books, Avenged didn't come along until later) 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hHow many live action Wind in the Willows are there? I know I've seen one in the 90s, but that's all I know. . 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hWell that's what happens when you keep a series going past its source material... 000
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hYeah, but those would all be 22 to 23 episodes long - that's like 16 to 18 hours. 110
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hThey pass through his backyard, it's not THAT egregious an inclusion - at least for the second part, the third one is a bit more so. 110
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 13hTo be fair, The Hobbit compresses time frames whereas LOTR will describe every single uneventful day of a week of walking - both sets of films kinda tread the middle ground there. . 020

Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 09/10/2026At least the movie side of all the ad-supported stuff realises that as long as they stick it all at the start, while we're still getting snacks, going to the loo, etc, and don't interrupt the movie itself we'll tolerate it... 020
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It was - he deleted it and basically said that three sleepless nights will do that to you. 010
Locopells @locopells.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Apparently: "the thing about everyone sharing a ragebait twitter post over here- when you aren't on twitter- is that you all missed the guy delete the post, explain that it was a poorly thought out joke because he is the father of a literal three day old and he's very tired" 020
