Benedict Cumberbatch and Fandoms (3)

Hi guys,

So this is the last blog about Benedict Cumberbatch. Just to illustrate the creativeness that is the internet, each time I use his name I’m going to use a different variation of his name created by his amazing fandom: the Cumberbitches. This time I’m going to talk about his current career and the massive impact that having your own fandom can have on an actor like Bopplestack Humblelack. In the last blog I wrote about Vandlebum Candleback I ended just before 2014 started. In 2014 Crumplehatch Anglelatch played one of his most memorable roles so far. This was for the film The Imitation Game, in which Benedryl Cabbagepatch portrayed the historical figure of Alan Turing. This film is about how a small group of mathematical geniuses manage to crack the Enigma code. The Enigma machine was used by the Germans in the second world war to encode all of their messages. This way only the person with the ‘key’ to the encryption would understand the message. The biggest problem was, however that this ‘key’ was never similar to the previous ‘key’ used. This film is one that, in my opinion, everybody should watch. The way that Bumblebee Pumkinpatch portrays this man/hero is just absolutely brilliant. Because of this film Bendadick Slumberhatch got nominated for the Academy Award for best actor, but also the award for best actor at the Moet British Independent Film Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, London Critics Circle Awards (not only the nomination for best actor, but also that of best British actor), Satellite Awards, AACTA International Awards and Irish Film and Television Awards, The National Film Award for best actor AND best ensemble at the Palm Spring International Film Festival…….. yes, let that sink in. All these nominations for one film. In fact for this film alone he got nominated for 25 awards, in various categories and for various award shows. Of these 25 nominations he won twice, came 2nd once and came 6th once. After this Benneyboop Cumberbop did a voice over for Penguins of Madagaskar, played in Black Mass and Zoolander 2. Last year he played Doctor Steven Vincent Strange in the film Doctor Strange, a Marvel Universe film. For this film he got nominated again, for a Critics Choice Award for best actor in an action movie. This year he’s already got 4 new films lined up. The Jungle Book: origins, where he plays Shere Khan, The War Magician, where he plays Jasper Maskelyne, The Current War, in which he plays Thomas Edison and Rogue Male, for this last movie the role has yet to be named, but it’s confirmed that it will be a lead role. This last movie is planned to either be released at the end of 2017 or the start of 2018. In February 2015 Frumious Bandersnatch married his lovely wife Sophie Hunter. Barely five months later he welcomed a little human into the world, which they named Christopher. Sadly, there have been press rumoring that both of these were just a PR stunt, which obviously is absolutely ridiculous, if you ask me. I feel like I don’t have a lot of right to say this, since I am writing about his life, but I think the press should really back off when it comes to artists’ personal lives and families. According to Hellomagazine his co-star in Doctor Strange, Tilda Swinton stated that ’’My fondest memory of him is as a new husband besotted by his girl, and a new father enchanted by his boy.’’ But as we all know it must be very hard for a star like Bandycat Cookiebatch to undergo the aftermath of a marriage. While there are so many of his Cumberbitches that completely respect the idea of him having his own private life, whether that is his love life or anything else, there are some nutters in every fandom that get angry as soon as they see their ‘internet boyfriend’ marry someone in real life. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Breadmachine Crackerjack quotes Sherlock when saying ‘’Being in disguise in full site is the best way.’’ When talking about ways to stay anonymous when he goes about his own private life. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about; fandoms. They are massive groups of people that all like the same thing. Whether that is a series, books or a film, it doesn’t matter. They like to write fanfiction (believe me you can find a lot of that on this website(for you own mental safety please don’t look it up)), these are stories about the actors or characters that the fans would like to read or write and put them in scenario’s that never happened, but they would either like those to happen or express an interest in the way that person or character would react in that situation. Often they use something called ‘shipping’ which is pairing up two people who aren’t necessarily a couple in real life, but they want to see them be a couple. Whether that is, in Bendable Cummerbund’s case, John Watson and Sherlock Holmes (called Johnlock), or in Misha Collin and Jensen Ackles’ (Supernatural)case, Dean Winchester and Castiel (called Destiel). These fanfictions can really go all kinds of ways, some of which you really don’t want to know. For a more detailed explanation of fandoms I would like to direct you to a YouTube video of a YouTuber I support, Danisnotonfire, who has his own fandom with his friend Phil, called the Phandom Phil and Dan -> Phan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqYkERuoMN8 Basically what I’m trying to say is that fandoms can really affect a career path of a certain person or the storyline of a certain series, which is great, but sometimes they need to back off and let the artists do their jobs. And by saying that I don’t just mean the actors, but also the official writers of these amazing stories. And I think it’s great that my generation has started to spend more time appreciating all kinds of art forms, like the Harry Potter books or the Doctor Who series. I think it has a positive impact on the creativity of a lot of people, but it also really encourages creative writing. Unfortunately this is the end of Brendadirk Cramplescrunch month. I really enjoyed writing this series and I am definitely going to continue this series. I have decided which person I will write about in February and I will drop a hint soon, so be on a look out for that. I hope you really enjoy this series too and I hope you will continue to follow my blog. Maybe even read the stuff that I write for university instead of my own personal obsessions. Again a big thank you to the people that follow and support my blog, you motivate me to actually sit down and write. See you next Tuesday. :)
