    i wish that season three could’ve been for benedict so that in the side plots we could’ve seen way more development with penelope and colin instead of whatever tf that was… like wdym one second “i would never dream of courting her” to the next “i would die for her” MAKE UP YOUR MIND SIDEBURNS

    I think my biggest problem this season was that they prioritized the drama over the romance in a romance show. I mean we all love for the drama, but if the mid-season cliffhanger had been Colin finding out about Whistledown then we could have dealt with his whiney boy era before the sexy times and maybe we could have actually enjoyed them instead of cringing through them thinking about what was coming up when he found out. He also could have gotten over himself faster. It just felt like a wasted season because they were only really happily married for like 5 minutes at the end.

    I am so over the story of 'woman who does not fit modern beauty standards only gets over her body insecurities because of male validation'. In actual life, I have see no correlation between 'fitting conventional beauty standards' and 'not being insecure'. Confidence is a gift we gift ourselves, it is not sustainable if it's only created through external validation.

    I think Lady Danbury’s anger makes more sense when you consider it with the context we gained in Queen Charlotte.
    Agatha was groomed, from a very young age, to be her geriatric husband’s perfect wife. She had to love his favorite color, eat his favorite foods, be the type of woman he desired. Her individuality was stripped away to suit him. Then she was repeatedly raped over the course of their marriage and forced to bear his children. In QC, we see that Agatha LOATHED her husband. She would scrub her skin after being raped and feared getting pregnant again. That level of intense and pervasive trauma doesn’t go away easily. He might have been 10 but Agatha’s marriage benefitted his family, especially when her husband became part of the Ton/titled. Also, trauma doesn’t have an expiration date. This was their first time seeing each other since he ratted her out, it makes sense that her hurt would bubble back to the surface.

    So Penelope being a spinster makes more sense in the books timeline. Because Netflix decided to do the storyline out of order, it kind of messes up a lot of things. In the book timeline, Penelope is 28 during this period. So whenever people think she's a spinster or she talks about how she's a spinster, it makes a lot more sense in the books. Netflix pushing up her timeline, yet keeping all the elements and comments of her being a spinster made it really confusing and laughable.
    It also makes more sense that it is difficult for her to part ways with her "Lady Whistledown" persona since she's been writing her for 10 years. It became a huge part of her identity.

    Making this season about Colin and Penelope was such a massive mistake. Because the tension in regard to them, their love story and everything with Whistledown is over now. Everything expected with that storyline of everything I just mentioned was absolutely wasted. Colin’s undying love for Pen came out of absolutely nowhere. Pen’s character development is non existent. The whole reveal to everyone about Whistledown felt like it didn’t even matter. And everything about this season is so painfully rushed and all over the place.
    I know none of us watch Bridgerton for the good writing but Jesus Christ, at least the first two seasons didn’t feel like this one.

      The entire build up was S1/S2. The only thing that is different from this season to prior is that it did have build up. All the allusions to past season show Colin had strong feelings for Penelope but he never realized she can be more than a friend. Colin is the one who seeks her out at the dances, Colin is the one who asks her to dance, Colin is the one who writes her letters and is happy she responds. It wasn't rushed at all...i'd argue waiting til Ep 4 for them to come together was still too slow in some ways.

      @@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 What poor build up are you referring to if I may ask? Colin gave Cressida the cut direct episode 1 to dance with Penelope after she ruined the dress Pen just told him she loved, he made an active attempt to talk to Pen during the Marina calling hour (after her mom said talk to her other daughters), he actively talked to her even while courting Marina and Pen trying to stop him from being trapped, the whole Jack scandal with him saving her, he calls her Pen only...like there is a LOT there that indicates they have a strong friendship. If you're referring to more raunchyness, its pretty clear Colin does not like sex for sex sake without intimacy but he was far more romantic than any other lead with his actions and dialogue.

    Your Colin opinions are so true and so brave. And no shade to the actor, because it wouldn't be as bad for him if the writers didn't try to force him to be the debonair "rake" trope (again, we already got that with every other male lead anyway), they should have just let him be the dweeb we know him to be. That could have been cute and different.
    Also, I think Penelope changed her look because she was wearing the clothes her mom told her to, not what she wanted to wear. Anyway, love the vid!

    ahh appreciate your well-balanced takes!! your vibes remind me a bit of Kennie JD and her bad movies in a beat series, your makeup is deadly!!
    i feel as though the story for this season is the first draft for me. [this opinion comes from reading and writing too many fanfics so pls take a grain of salt] what's a common but unspoken hurdle in writing is that you can't just apply all of your ideas into one story with an even shorter run time, because like you said!! there are EIGHT children we have to experience. so i noticed the ideas each bridgerton was given but it's the execution is where it's awkward.
    And so when a season rolls around i like to view it as an 'all-you-can=eat buffet' where i choose which story line to follow and skip the rest because of the 'meh execution' we’ve come to expect.
    i dont know if youre aware of this movie, but Emma [2020] was what i expected from Pen and Colin because of the similiar traits they both have. Emma and Mr Knightley are the classic friends to lovers trope [jane austen you will ALWAYS be famous] and!!! not only it established their dynamic by showing the casual intimacy [that pen and colin did NAWT have] but we the audience were able to empathise and root for them to be together. I found myself confused at best with this season because I’m not confident of their casual intimacy. like yeah they’re friends…… but where’s the sauce??

    I genuinely felt bad for Cressida despite her being a total B*tch. I feel she acts that way considering she was never shown love in her household the same way Bridgertons were. And the fact that she had no genuine friends. Even Eloise just befriended her to make Pen jealous. Everyone kinda just uses her. She did what she had to do to run away and get out, doing horrendous things along the way. Her speech about how not everyone is lucky enough to be born into a family that loves them really made me sympathize with her alot.

    ugh from the minute he appeared on camera Colin was just not doing it for me!! I found him so much more attractive in s2, they really didn’t need to yassify him and cosplay him as a pirate to try and make him more appealing. He looked so wholesome, sweet and sensitive before, and while I get that he was apparently just doing the whole rake thing for show, it wasn’t made clear why he felt the need to change himself so much. Especially after travelling and going away so often in previous seasons, and claiming to ‘find himself’ each time he returned.
    ugh idk. His bouffant hair and high collared cloaks were highkey giving me creepy vampire vibes. There was also something going on with his eyes that put me off…they just never seemed tender or to express enough. He showed more tenderness of expression when he had a storyline with Marina, not sure why he struggled with that with Pen. But perhaps that’s on the actors own abilities.
    For me, Penelope really carried their interactions, and their entire relationship if i’m honest. She had more chemistry with that naturalist Lord D, and I’m not ashamed to say I was even rooting for them! He was the first man to actually see and appreciate Pen without having to be taught or enlightened to her. Colin was just…there. They made him a shell of a character this season and it’s such a shame considering the potential Colin had. Not one flashback scene of his and Pen’s early friendship, or of his travels abroad, or the letters he and Pen exchanged…If anything this season was more about the unravelling of the Whistledown secret than about the love story between Polin. And that’s where they messed up, by making Polin’s long awaited love story a subplot to the main plot of Whistledown’s unveiling.
    *sigh* Season 3 was badly written, ill-thought out, and just truly unsatisfying. I will say though, they had a mountain to climb trying follow Kanthony. Season 2 completely set the bar for Brigerton, it was the shows high water mark without question. Sadly, Kanthony’s scenes in Season 3 were the only thing motivating me to keep going.

    I kinda blame the shift in power behind the scenes because after two great seasons. Then this sudden shift to someone who wants to change absolutely everything. It gave a little whiplash. (Idc if you call me a hater. It’s how I feel.) It was too ambitious for what was going on. Each season focused on one character being the A plot and lady Whistledown being the B plot. Then they DID have the time crunch with only the 8 episodes. So maybe they should’ve just focused on like one big A plot and small B plot for the season. Then at the VERY end. Focus more on the B plot and the start of the C plot with Cressida. Cut out everything else that doesn’t have to do with the Bridgerton family.

    Honestly. This season was boring to me & drew too much attention away from the main couple. And I hate Colin’s reason to love Penelope. I’m not convinced he loves her for herself, but more so how she makes him feel & validates his ego. I’m more invested in Francesca’s story. It’s upsetting that a main character with a bigger body has the worst season too. I’m not a season 1 truther, and obviously season 2 will most likely never be topped because it was dripping with chemistry & everyone being developed in a stronger sense, but this season just fell flatter than flat for me. And that made me sad. I wanted more for Pen.

    I love Penelope so much. She is my favourite character and I was so let down by season 3. I was so looking forward to it. Colin needed more. He needed to be more interesting and sweet. I’m a nerd (gonna own it) and I adore fandom Colin from fanfics and so on. The fandom writes him ten times better! They make him funny, sweet and interesting! Like I so badly wish Colin was written like that in canon…and I wish Penelope had rejected the proposal and we got the fandom version of Colin grovelling to his brothers about Penelope not wanting him anymore!
    Also I wanted Colin to know about Penelope being Mrs Whistledown before he proposed and to be frank, when he asked her if she was going to marry him or not, I thought she was going to just say ‘I’m lady whistledown’
    ALSO the comment about Penelope entrapping him! And Penelope didn’t react! Like gal! Please!!

  • @toluwanimirufai6617
    @toluwanimirufai6617 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +27

    Pen's excuses for writing about Colin were a bit gross. She was lashing out at him because she was angry, hurt and jealous, but as you said, that is the sort of conversation that should be kept between the two of them. The conversation they did have about it was great, but also soured by her initial response. She wants him the way she wants him, and didn't like that he changed, yet she's never once bothered to ask him why. Him believing that she lacks respect for him is completely understandable. I know she's a gossip, and a fundamental lack of consideration for other people's feelings and privacy is a given, but he was her friend for a long time. He always protected her, and saw her when nobody else did. What happened in 2x08 sucks, but one incident shouldn't negate all those years. Besides, Pen's intentional, pre-meditated, public attack on him was much worse than Colin's one-off, spur-of-the-moment comment to a limited number of people. All their conversations in S3 have been primarily focussed on her, largely because she let him believe he needed to earn back her friendship, when she'd already gotten her petty revenge. Her crush on him may have been one-sided in the first two seasons, but their friendship never was, until this season. Whether it's because the writers listened to all that toxic, entitled nonsense people kept saying about wanting to see Colin grovel, which is really gross, or for some other reason, that does not make for a healthy dynamic. I mean, she wanted him so badly for so long, but now that she has his love, she cares more about her ego? She'd really choose trashy gossip over the life she could have with him? Really?! Also, you were spot on about Eloise and Colin loyally keeping Pen's secrets, no matter how hurt and angry they were about them. Which is kind of ironic, since Penelope herself has little respect for anyone else's secrets.

    I'm okay with Penelope's makeover in this case because this isn't a case of "nerdy girl needs to look like this and is made to by the patriarchy." They establish from season one that she doesn't like the way her mother dresses her and that she was uncomfortable in her old look. Even Portia says she thought Penelope's glow up was for her amusement.

    I am genuienly worried about like...a lot of these analysis overlooking the crucial point with Polin is that S1/S2 is the part of the build up. Attempting to understand them within the sole vortex of S3 does a disservice to their build up. Like Colin being annoying, is completely valid, because he is trying to not be his real self (and his comment in S2 is twofold in that yes he trying to fit in but also to him, he never did think he would court her and he fully apologized on HIS accord and came up with a plan on HIS own to make it up to her). I have seen fair critique of this season but within the overarching theme of Authenticity being what Polin is, understanding them from S1-S3 is important to understand why their arguably one of the better couples for pure romance (and if you don't like friends-to-lovers find, but to they did it incredibly well here).

    Sigh. It had so much potential, but to me it failed the standards of the romance genre.
    Colin wasn't believable as a rake (and PS. we were told Anthony & Simon were rakes, but never had to SEE it) so why make him one?
    In previous seasons he was cutie 3rd brother who took courting seriously, and looked down on the rake lifestyles.
    It would have been a nice switch-up to see the man be a virgin too, make them equals and it would make it more meaningful as the "first time" both of them have been seen as their whole, true selves.
    I thought they would build on the erotic journalling and they would tease each other with love letters while they were engaged, nope, no emotional connection needed apparently! 😂 Premarital sex is also fine apparently, for **Colin Bridgerton**, established as a man who cares so much about honour!
    It's before marriage in the book too, but it feels different, as it's after the secrets are out and amidst all the conflict, it's part of an affirmation that he loves and supports her no matter what.
    We didn't get that cathartic happy ever after feeling at the end, not for me anyway. It was suffering for all of Part 2 😢
    A good romance does need conflict and angst, but usually like 30% building a connection, 30% actually falling in love or a honeymoon phase, 30% big conflict that threatens to ruin everything, 10% happy ending. The balance was off, character development was really inconsistent, and it just didn't work! And I'm sad about it 😭

  • @tessbarr7835
    @tessbarr7835 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually hate the way this season LOOKS. After the disaster that was season three, I wanted to go back and watch the previous seasons to see just what exactly rubbed me the wrong way (besides the bad writing and even worse pacing), and I found it. It’s the way the whole thing looks, lighting, makeup and costuming mainly. In s1 and 2, the lighting was so gorgeous and it fit the context of the characters and scene. S1 is very blue tinted, the night tends to be more of a cool shade to fit Daphne’s colour palette, and s2 is very pink tinted, as the sharmas generally wear warmer shades. It just gave an air of true personality to everything. In s3, the lighting is….normal? Dull? I think it might be something to do with the type of camera they used (probably digital). Idk it just took away some of that bridgerton spark for me. And then there’s the issue of Colin and Penelope’s makeup. Oh boy. When Penelope walked into the ball with a literal bold glamour filter on, I was like..what? I get it’s not supposed to be historically accurate, but it threw me off so bad. I wasn’t thinking about pen’s big moment, I was thinking about why the hell she was suddenly wearing eyelash extensions. I know she’s supposed to look more mature, but Kate in s2 achieved that just fine with minimal makeup. And Colin looks like he just had Botox, which is not something I want in my period piece romance show. And those costumes…. I’m sorry but yikes. For a show that is marketed as a regency/fantasy romance show, there was BARELY any regency in those costumes. The fabrics were far too modern and I know that bridgerton is no stranger to modern fabrics but literally every character was suddenly wearing three different ones at once and it gave me the ickkkkk. Like it’s not regency anymore besides a very loose interpretation of the empire waistline, and it, again, took away from the general experience, the LAST thing a showrunner wants a viewer to think. In s1 and 2, bridgerton’s costuming was the perfect mix of period accurate and modern. Modern enough to stand out, period accurate enough for it to still be a period drama. S3’s costuming was simply a mess.
