I don’t know what it is about the Jane Austen adaptations I’ve seen recently, but they just have so much trouble sticking the landing.
#i mean
#ANY mansfield park adaptation??
#especially 1999 but that one has a whole bunch of other stuff wrong with it too
#and I almost GET IT because in the book the conclusion *is* very quick
#but isn’t the point of an adaptation to expand on what is missing in the book?
#also Emma and p&p
#both of those books have such good rich things happen after the accepted proposals but the major adaptations just totally gloss over that??
#Harriet and Robert meeting again in London! where’s my Emma adaptation that gives me that?!
#Lizzy and Darcy being all cute after she accepts him!!!
#I really feel like
#in a miniseries ideally Darcy’s proposal and knightley’s proposal would both be at the *beginning* of the last episode
#not almost at the end of it
#because let! the other! things! happen!
#let Austen’s storytelling shine!!!
#can’t speak for the book in s&s discourse because I never finished it but like. 1995 and 2008 both had lovely endings
#it’s not too hard in that sense
#but it also is??? apparently? if we’re going by the 1981
#need to watch the 70s one too
#AND D O N ‘ T get me started on mansfield park
#where ?! WHERE?!?! is my adaptation where we actually get to see Edmund slowly falling for Fanny at the end????
#(I do not see 1999 it doesn’t exist)
#like no. because in that one they paint Edmund like he’s been in love with Fanny forever and. no????
#and then 2007 with him just having this random epiphany- what? two weeks after he breaks up with Mary?
#and then he just runs out and kdrama-arm-grabs Fanny in the garden and kisses her??? HATE IT THANKS
#at least when kdramas do it it’s kind of romantic
#this Edmund was just creepy
#and since we’re back on this discussion PLEASE I’VE BEEN ON MY KNEES give us a likeable Edmund!!!!!
#I just used up my tag limit so I’m gonna tag this for my files and shut up and go to bed :) <3
