#the warlock chops up the girl and throws her pieces everywhere like confetti

[strawberryoc]

I just finished watching the Netflix adaptation of A Tale Dark and Grimm. I was super excited to watch this since the series was my childhood, and I wasn't dissapointed! A small part of me wished it stuck to some of it's more darker themes (such as in episode 5, where in the book the Warlock was more physically violent and leagues more creepy) but the messages still came across the same way they were meant to come across. Besides, in a book you can get away with showing children depictions of flaying and torture and all that fun stuff, whereas in a show for children you, uh... can't, exactly.

Pretty good, I'd reccomend people who watched it to read the original book, and its sequels.

#A Tale Dark and Grimm #some spoilers in the tags #honestly i was a bit morbidly dissapointed we werent shown the scene where #yanno #the warlock chops up the girl and throws her pieces everywhere like confetti #and he throws the finger in gretel's lap by accident #where she finds the ring and presents the finger AND the ring on it to the audience at the party the next day #but then again she already canonically chopped her finger off earlier so i guess they were walking on thin ice for that tv y7 rating lol #at least the rest of it stays pretty canon compliant #i just hope no one simps for the warlock bc im 90% sure (and have been sure ever since i was a child) that he was an allegory for groomers? #right? im not the only one who thought that right? #simp for who you simp for or whatever ig #just hope this makes the series more popular bc it deserves recognition badly
