S1 Villanelle survived a stab wound walking and bleeding all over Paris… S4 Villanelle gets knocked out by a single arrow to the back and then ultimately dies by underwater gunshots
Who cares about physics when everything else is a mess, right? - the writers, probably.
LN only cared about the religious
imagery of the bloody angel wings underwater. Her own shitty agenda and creative ‘vision’ is the only reason Villanelle and Eve were in the water and all know they would have run inside the boat to avoid the gun shots instead of jumping into the freezing cold water. The fact that Villanelle was unarmed is the biggest joke of all.
Lol for real? I guess bloody symbolism on snow was already taken
Writers should stop it with that shit. It was great that one time on Game of Thrones but now its just cringe.
Yeah but what made this worse is that it ended up being another BYG trope and from a show like KE which was so unique and promising, it felt like a betrayal
Religious imagery shtick was stupid enough after a point and very forced but what's really baffling is Laura Neal and Sally Gentle(to me she's the most guilty party here and the way she came across in interviews was always a red flag) really were so up their own asses and so concerned with not doing romance as if romance was cheap(and worse when gay ofc) ,they really 100% thought they were being clever and cleverly subversive doing a last season like this, keeping Villaneve apart, avoiding any romantic development til the last 20 minutes, focusing on other plot points and characters that were never supposed to be what drives the story and ending it by virtually sentencing Villanelle to death as if KE was an educational documentary about discouraging kids to choose the paid assassin path in life. Even with all the double standards in judging male vs female characters and het romance compared to gay romance, it's mind boggling that neither Laura nor Sally realized that this is all horrible story telling, horrible ending and no one would even love to hate it, they'd just straight up hate it.
KE was in itself a subversive story about two women who've been conditioned by their circumstances, society and so on into certain roles, thus both ending up living lives they were told they should be happy with and that that's all they can expect to have anyway, meeting and through this complex attraction and pull, finding the clarity, the push, the itch to break out of their lives in pursuit of all that they really are, want and can be, regardless of what everyone else expects of them. It was also about 2 people who don't really fit social norms in certain ways, finding true understanding, acceptance and belonging together, despite the world telling them they can't have that. And on a superficial level is about women daring to be a little mean to achieve their objectives, to put themselves first and succeeding at it not getting punished by the showrunner God for it. S4 actually went against the spirit of this show. How LN and Sally didn't see this is beyond me, they're not actually dumb as rocks. The arrogance and sense of superiority, of downright wanting to be cruel towards fans must have been on fantastic levels
