if that canal+ marie antoinette series does get a good international reception and proves that english speaking audiences actually will watch smth about the history of countries that aren’t america and england, i should be immediately given an hbo contract to allow me to make my louis philippe series

#personal #at least that would be about something that hasn't been done to fucking death #plus it wouldn't have to be about his kingship if that's too boring for the americans #just go from the revolution all the way to his coronation #there's still a lot of drama #all them dead family members and the like #(this is also a subtweet at ridley scott for blaming millenials (?????) for the last duel flopping) #(nah dude it flopped because a) the rape revenge trope is kinda fading out of fashion at this point in time) #(and b) because english speaking moviegoers who are the ones who DOMINATE the movie and tv market) #(really don't like history about anything that isn't the english speaking world) #(it's why in the course of ten years we've had like FOUR mary queen of scots movies/shows/whatever) #(but i can't have a single mention at all of jeanne i of navarre) #(so if a show about a french queen does okay i really need it to open doors for more interesting stuff about french history)
