THIS BLOG IS DEAD BITCHES

This is getting kind of ridiculous.

My slow, depressed booty finally finished S7. Final thoughts on the season? My Plance have bloomed. 

The Kallura game is strong. 

Hunk deserved this season. 

Allurance is such a red herring. 

Please let those be the alternate universe alteans, that’s all I wanted since season 3. Them as the final Big Bads. Maybe allying with Haggar or something. 

It’s a whole 10/10 from me guys, this movie made it into my top favorite movies of all time and i freaking loved it and everyone needs to go see it right this now. It was funny, it was new, the love and comedy were there in abundance and none of it seemed awkward or forced which is something romantic comedies often struggle with. I went into this thinking it was going to be like an Asian twist on Monster in Law, but I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. 

Highlights: 

Awkwafina stole every scene in the movie. Even the ones she wasn’t in. Such an amazing actress and so funny, no one else could have played this role like her

“You have a cocktail dress in your trunk?” 

“I’m not an animal.” 

Henry Golding and Constance Wu have suuuuch amazing chemistry. They truly made an absolutely adorable couple 

I loved the friendship between Nick (Henry Golding) and Colin (Chris Pang). It was nice to see that in a crazy world driven by money and status, that these two guys found true friendship in one another and I think that’s a good message to show audiences

Gemma Chan was amazing in her role as Astrid. 

She was my favorite character next to Goh Peik because she had all the class and beauty as the rest of her rich counterparts but still managed to retain her humanity which I liked a lot

Just the general way she holds herself (amazing acting on Gemma’s part), you would think she’d treat everyone as if they were below her but shes literally characterized as sweetness personified 

I need a whole sequel about her and Charlie 

I loved the close up shots they did during scene changes, i.e the beginning of the dumpling scene and the mahjong house 

Also that mahjong scene??? Me and everyone in the theater was shook.

The overall plot of the movie was really interesting and I can’t wait to go out and buy the book as soon as I can cause if the movie was that good than I can imagine how good the book must be

And real talk, I’m so happy the writer found a director and a production company that would keep the integrity of the book intact. I heard that some directors wanted to recast Rachel into a white role and that would have changed the whole dynamic of the movie 

Just imagining a white woman in that role annoys me 

Watching this movie was just an all around enjoyable experience. It made me want to know more and read the book and find a nice asian man to settle down with. My moms family is from Japan and they immigrated back in the 50′s (I think??) and I definitely want to talk to my uncles and my grandpa about the issues this movie touched on.

Also I love Harry Shum Jr and wish there was more of him in this movie??? Like he was one of the first names to be listed in the end credits but he had like 7 seconds of screen time which is kinda confusing?? Did I miss something?

composed characters losing their composure

kind characters snapping

characters hugging each other after one or both of them have been through hell

character cradling their significant other’s face while they kiss

character says something hurtful. later on in the movie they are in a similar situation and say something kind instead.

self sacrifice

griefstricken women (who under normal circumstances wouldn’t hurt a fly) lashing out and striking the person responsible for the loss of their loved one

ugly crying

characters struggling to talk because they’re about to cry

characters reuniting with someone whom they thought were dead

FOREHEAD KISSES

I need to establish some things first before we get to Plance.

Throughout the series, we have been given the split screen headshot of Paladin and Lion, eyes glowing bright, as a sign of sync and a strong bond.

As of the end of season 7, the only current Paladins who have not accomplished this are Lance and Pidge.

Both, Keith and Hunk, were able to see through the lions eyes this season after sharing a series of heartwarming moments, almost like they helped each other to complete their arcs and to find that missing piece of the puzzle.

I don’t know about you guys, but I never thought we would actually explore Hunk and Keith’s relationship like this. So, maybe just maybe, something similar could happen between Lance and Pidge. It’s not a far fetched idea!

I don’t even mean it in romantic way. It just makes sense if Lance helps the only person who still shuts herself in when she’s feeling down. We know Pidge is independent, but like Shiro said “sometimes we all need a hand”.

And Pidge helps the only person she hasn’t been completely honest with (She even complimented Allura this season, the only person left is literally Lance. We got a little ‘Nice!’ when Lance’s plan succeeded in the simulation, but that’s it.)

And we all know how much Pidge’s words actually affect Lance (even if she doesn’t mean any harm). 

I always thought that the reason we continued without seeing what weapon Lance and Pidge’s bayard could form in Voltron was because they were going to unlock a new weapon together and that’s exactly what happened, so maybe this is a similar case.

This season confirmed that both, Pidge and Lance, would fight fiercely to protect each other. We’ve seen that many times with Pidge protecting Lance, but this season we saw Lance doing it and even after that, we still feel that there’s more room for development.
