Idk man I'm stuck thinking about Jack in this world and every world. Like he's clearly misguided and he doesn't realize what he has, which is horrifying in and of itself. That travels across worlds and that sucks, that's a defining character trait for him.
But what really gets me about Jack in this world is that he gets what he wants and it's not what he needs at all. There is something so horrifying and biblical about getting what you want and it being the worst thing for you. You did it yourself. You must take the blame. It's all your fault. You're unhappy. You're alone. You did it so you would be loved and everything would be okay. And it's the worst possible thing that could have happened to you.

jack, who climbed into the giants’ realm. jack who paid dearly for the treasures he reaped. lucky and ruthless, he escaped with his life. jack who came back different.
jack whose name we now all know. the boy, the fool, the giant killer. jack with a fortune to rival the gods. jack who had always been different.
some live in the bones, those corpses he left behind, big as mountains. strangers ask of the caves, the yellow-white walls, carrying stories of him, his wit, his cruelty.
the whispers that come will come the same; this is the house that jack built.

ok so I MIGHT (definitely am) be a very large glass of wine on an empty stomach into Jack the Giant Slayer, but Ewan’s first line is “Is there something wrong with your knees, Jack?” (because Jack isn’t kneeling before the princess) but how else was I supposed to take that besides sexual and now I’m thinking very sexy sithy-wan thoughts… 😳
