Why is every Justified season promo with Raylan/Boyd just purely some sort of weird violent sexual tension?
Like… who the hell pitched THESE??
“Time to promote a new show. How can we attract the macho heteros and the gays in 30 seconds?”
“Quick, we need to give the bisexuals something so toss Ava with THAT HAIR in but still make these two homos meet upstairs in the bedroom in a FLAMING HOUSE and still angrily eye fuck.”
“How about less violence, more ‘narrative foil holds a gay af search party and finds his protagonist’s hat’ fanfic prompt.”
“Boyd gently covers Raylan’s gun with the hat-“
“That might be mistaken as a sexual metaphor.”
“Uh. Make sure they just fucking pull out their guns on each other at the end. FIXED.”
“How about one where they definitely are not meeting up at night to fuck?”
“You think they’re gonna showdown down but SURPRISE besties forever team up!”
“Just two dudes with guns in a barn doing a slow-mo 180 turn because fuck it.”
“Okay, what if these assholes really like to shoot each other at night in like this weird version of ‘Marco Polo’ FOR NO FUCKING REASON. And we will call it ‘Muzzle’ FOR NO FUCKING REASON.”
