Regarding Wolves

Regarding Wolves

I once heard a suggestion that Eugene should go hand-to-hand with Cassandra in a serious battle where he manages to hold his own for a surprising amount of time, and I still really want to see that.  

But on the other hand, what’s the point of having an actual Werewolf on the team if you don’t use her?  So, in the final battle, Catalina needs to transform one last time and duel it out with Zhan Tiri.   

Edit after the last episode:  And they didn’t do it?!  Seriously, we got maybe ten total seconds of werewolf time in this episode.  Catalina has this epic alternate form that can take twenty times the damage of her human self and even comes complete with razor sharp claws and teeth, and she still chooses to run into battle against an INTERDIMENSIONAL DEMON as a vulnerable human child.  I’m probably way overthinking this, but come on, Disney!  You’re wasting opportunities here!  

Episodes 1 & 2: Easy. Lighthearted. No one dies.

Episodes 3 & 4: PAIN! TORTURE! CONSTANT DEATH!

Holy shoot, I LOVE the other lion!  

This lion, who has no other canonical name beyond “the other lion” is my all-time favorite obscure character EVER and he only appears in two scenes in the entire book series.  Even though I understand that it would have interrupted the flow of the movie, I’m a little disappointed he didn’t make more of an appearance in the movie. 

Look at this precious dork.  Look at this excited bean who is so darn hyped to included with Aslan in the words “Us Lions” he straight up forgets to be even remotely useful.  

Can I just squeal for a minute about one the most utterly delightful and criminally underrated characters in this entire series?

The other lion. Just. THe Other Lion. I love this guy so much.

“…Those who are good with their noses must come in the front with us lions to smell out where the battle is. Look lively and sort yourselves,” [said Aslan].

And with a great deal of bustle and cheering they did. The most pleased of the lot was the other lion who kept running about everywhere pretending to be very busy but really in order to say to everyone he met, ‘Did you hear what he said? Us Lions. That means him and me. Us Lions. That’s what I like about Aslan. No side, no stand-off-ishness. Us Lions. That meant him and me.’ At least he went on saying this till Aslan had loaded him up with three dwarfs, one dryad, two rabbits, and a hedgehog. That steadied him a bit.”

Just. What a mood, honestly. Both in terms of the utter lack of helpfulness and the sheer enthusiasm about Aslan.

Leap Day

Happy leap day and happy birthday to my favorite Viking, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third! 

***SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN MARVEL***

Okay, I’m sure that someone has already posted about this, but I wanted to ask it for myself.  

So, does anyone else do this thing where you see a character you really like and you automatically assume they’re going to die?  

Like, when it was revealed in Captain Marvel that the Skrulls weren’t the villains, and that General Talos had a family he’d been waiting to see again, my brother and I began to nudge each other in the theater like “Oh man, he’s gonna die.”  “Yeah, he’s too likable.  They’re going to kill him off.”  (And later on when he was shot we both lost it and screamed “OH, I KNEW IT!!!”)  Obviously, it was a huge relief when he didn’t die after all, but it was a heart attack for the both of us.  

Can anyone else out there relate? 

I love how Thor and Thanos are united in their facepalming.
