My thoughts after seeing Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama
Rama and Lakshman are the best brothers ever (also Rama literally killed multiple demons with divine weapons as a teenager and thatās honestly more than I accomplished at 15)
Sita has Disney Princess powers
āI will cleave your filthy brain in two!ā is not a line I expected to hear from a PG rated movie
Surpanakha needs therapy (and a nose job)
Why is Maricha kinda- š
Ravana seriously needs to keep it in his pants (I was mentally shaking his shoulders and yelling āwhen will you learn that your actions have consequences!?ā at him the entire time)
Rama furiously declaring heāll hunt Ravana to the ends of the universe and then Lakshman just casually telling him to calm down was way funnier than it had any right to be
The sentient mountain turning out to be a demigod literally felt like an NPC side quest in a fantasy RPG
I love how Jambavan just randomly drops the bombshell on Hanuman that he has divine powers, also his voice is weirdly amusing
Hanuman gets swallowed by a sea serpent, then promptly chops the thing up into sushi
Ravanaās giving off vaguely yandere vibes and Iām all here for it
Hanuman introducing himself to Sita with a beautiful song legit warmed my heart so much, heās so wholesome
Ravana filing his nails while listening to Hanumanās speech only to be like ākill himā was darkly hilarious
āalright, but set fire to his tail first, then let him go homeā Ravana WTH-
Then Hanuman subsequently commits arson and burns down half the city of Lanka (cue the theme from Itās Always Sunny In Philadelphia)
I have only known Vibhishana for a minute and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself /j
Bridge building montage woohooo
Why do all the rakshasas sound either animalistic or flamboyant?
Speaking of which, thereās no way Indrajit is straight, no man who wears indigo eyeshadow, a crop top, no trousers and knee high boots isnāt at least a little bit bent
āOh, what a nuisance! This is bothering me!ā Ah yes, just how Iād describe being in the middle of a battle between literal demons and very floofy monkeys
Ramaās speech about respecting life was genuinely one of the most beautiful things Iāve ever heard
Kumbhakarna is the best boi
Kumbhakarna is the best round sleepy boi in the history of everything
His sons were absolute badasses and their deaths made me sad (not at all helped by his heartbroken expression when he found out)
I love how it literally took being waterboarded to wake up this giant
Vibhishana just casually mentioning to Rama that Kumbhakarna would become immortal after sleeping for SIX WHOLE MONTHS
Literally everything about Kumbhakarna is immensely endearing to me in a way I cannot explain, I just wanna smoosh his cheeks and feed him strawberry mochi, also he so ROUND
Kumbhakarna, donāt eat the Vanaras ffs
Kumbhakarna getting increasingly frustrated by the flying demons buzzing around him like mosquitoes should become a meme/reaction gif, purely because of how he yells āyOu ArE aNnOyInG mE!ā at them
*two strikes of a divine sword later* NUUUUU MY BABYYYYY š
āI wish Iād known him as a friend, Vibhishanaā thatās it, happy AU where everybody lives and theyāre all besties letās gooooo *crying inside*
The way Ravanaās voice quakes when he hears heās now sans a brother š„ŗ
Indrajit is horrible but I love him
HANUMAN JUST AIRLIFTED A FUCKING MOUNTAIN HOLY SMOKES-
Omgggg an aerial battle this is so cool- INDRAJIT NOOOOO
RAVANA WHERE DID YOU GET AN AEROPLANE???
Yikes, Ravana, youāre really laying on the body horror here š³
Awww Rama and Sita are together again yayyyy
Yasssss happy ending we love to see it!
Why are they flying to the moon in a glittering gold helicopter???
Basically, I love this movie and everything about it, especially Kumbhakarna š
(Also for the record I mean absolutely no disrespect by any of this)
