I feel like Anthony's affection towards Sienna was misguided. She was the type of person he knew he could never marry so that fact allowed him to be happy with her to a certain degree. He knew his relationship with Sienna would never be on par with the love his parents shared. He had passion with Sienna but she was also his way of avoiding marriage aka possibly finding true love.
Also they didn’t change Anthony’s story line for the second season. At the end of season one he clearly says he wants to find a wife but doesn’t wanna find love.
I think something that appealed to him in Sienna is that he could sense Sienna would always guard her heart and put herself and her survival first. So that released him of some of the burden of having to take care of her and not cause grief etc.
I feel for Anthony, the natural state is being with a family and taking care of them. Like his father and the Bridgerton clan. With Sienna it was just her, no talk about family etc. Whereas with Kate, their role in their respective families is similar.
His motives in the first season are actually the same. He never loved Sienna, she was just was a means of avoiding responsibility that he had been avoiding as part of his father's legacy. So literally avoiding his trauma by using her and maintaining her as a mistress-- he was so desperate to do that he was convinced his feelings were deeper than they were. If he had loved her he also would likely be a little more self aware of his feelings for Kate, but he has absolutely no clue.
I think when Violet said it’s Edmund’s choice she meant if he’d been there it wouldn’t even be a question whether or not to listen to what she chooses.
The TV show's Sienna Rosso is loosely based on the novels Maria Russo. Maria plays a very small part in the overall story as she is simply one of many mistresses Anthony had during his time as a rake. I'm not sure why the writers made Anthony have deeper feelings for Sienna during Season 1, but that was the part that was added in. Season 2's portrayal of Anthony not wanting a love match because he does not want to cause his potential beloved any grief upon his death is canon to the novel. The TV show left out the detail that Anthony was also convinced that he would die young as he could not imagine outliving his father, which adds further to his decision not to fall in love. I personally think it is a much better motivation than simply having lost Sienna in Season 1, and I assume the writers agreed because not only was Anthony losing Sienna is not referenced at all in Season 2, but also because one of the main goals of this episode seemed to be to validate his reasoning by showing how traumatic everything was for him.
S2 is stand alone every season is. This Anthony is a recreation he is not the Anthony of s1. Producers start from scratch at the beginning of every season cause the main protagonists change every time...don't take the last season too seriously when you are watching a new one. It's like "mildly" continued
Siena is very briefly referenced in season 2 by the showing of a pamphlet advertising her as an operatic soprano . It's the piece of paper that Anthony throws in the fire.
The want of marriage without love for the very reason of not wanting to deal with the possibility of such grief was a center piece of Anthony's story in the book. Another layer, that they left out in the show, is that he is convinced he will die young like his father as he has no right to outlive such a great man as his father (its one of many reasons he was so associated with his father's pocket watch in the first season). As such he was even more concerned of leaving behind a widow.
it's not really kate's fault that anthony has an attraction to her - she's made it fairly clear she isn't interested in persuing any kind of relationships, and believes anthony wants to persue edwina, and has no reason to believe it's because of her. especially as she's done nothing but show her distaste for anthony since they met, until this episode. there might be feelings developing on kate's part but it's not like either have done anything that would instigate an attraction purposefully.
@@onleashed4390 Like...I'm tired of acting like Kate is a cheater and a mistress because Anthony started falling in love with her when all she ever showed to him for FOUR episodes was hate!
@@cutienerdgirl also she never once made the first move towards Anthony except in the chapel once the wedding got called of. Before that it's always him trying to get close to her.
2:22 I know the point of that was to show that Anthony didn't even have time to grieve his father because he had to take over instantly, but a bit of me is also thinking 'I think it's too late - the other children might not have understood what they saw but they've still seen enough'.
"Absolutely agree! Anthony is such a complex character, and his journey in Season 2 really shows his growth and vulnerability. We need to protect him at all costs! 💖👌 #TeamAnthony"
I don't think he loved Siena, he knew he could never be with her so whatever he felt or did with her or promised. Deep down the knew it would be nothing anyway. It was another way of acting out his fear of love and real commitment
"What did people do in those days if you had allergies?" Nothing. Medicine was very limited in those days. I don't even know if they knew what allergies were. So the sad answer is, nothing.
It explains why Anthony was so terrified for Kate even more. They couldn't tell who was allergic or not, so it was at the toss of a hat if you would live or die after being stung.
Best part: Colin hits Kate’s ball into the woods, not Anthony. Competitive as the family is, do you think they would have considered doing that to Edwina for a second? No chance. From the start, they’re treating Kate like she’s one of them.
Anthony never loved sienna. He had more of a sexual relationship with her. It was escapism. He knew he will have good sex life with Sienna but never love. But with Kate, it is different. Also, he didn't want to marry for love. This is not just for the season but was also in the book. Kate & Anthony's chemistry is mind-boggling
The thing is, this is true book Anthony, the made up part that doesn't fit this was the romance with the opera singer, it doesn't exist in the book.. I assume they added in S1 to bring more drama to the show and to suit the whole antagonist narrative that they wanted for him, and this is why it bothered me so much S1, not only they ruined the character but the choices aren't consistent to the backstory and what we are seeing now
@@sarajones5462 I know, I read the book a few times lol It's my favorite... I wouldn't mind the changes if they were for the better, but this whole failed romance with her was pointless and clashes with what they did in S2, wich is stick closer to what he is in the books, that is my main issue; for instance, by the end of S1 it seemed like the reason he didn't want a love match was because of his break up with Siena, but now they are telling a whole different story that contradicts that impression, so why do it at all? I don't know, to me it was a dumb decision... also in any case, if they wanted conflict they could have made her the antagonist of Kanthony this season instead of Edwina
A lot of people hate on their mother for not stepping up as “lady of the house” and for apparently putting pressure on her sons because Anthony, Benedict and Colin were still very young…..but I think people forget that back then, women had no rights and society had it that the men were in charge of the households which also included any brothers.
I don't think they weren't coherent with his characters motives. What Anthony had with Sienna was some sort of escapism. Most of their scenes together, the way that I saw it, were sexual and did not cut too deep. They clearly had a place in each other's hearts, but they were replaceable, once the life they wished for themselves rose to the occasion, which is why I don't think their relationship can be considered as love, nor what he was looking for in a marriage. His most prominent characteristic is that he wants to be a successful vicount and make his parents proud of his abilities to maintain the family's name and rank. He always knew he couldn't be with Sienne which is why so early on he cuts it off, knowing it was temporary. Later on, because he did share a connection with her, he had unrealistic thoughts of having her as some sort of mistress (not unrealistic as for the era they lived in, but because of Sienna's wishes for herself). When she tells him she cannot keep coming back to him and to his paper promises he doesn't even try to deny it. He knows she's right. Now, what he has with Kate is different. He is challenged, not only sexually attracted. He did set his mind up that he is going to marry, as described at the beginning of the season, because is the right thing to do for the vicount, which is why he feels even more obligated to his rank then ever-making his bundle of complex feelings towards Kate, who is some sort of a noble unlike Sienna, more real, while not being able to escape from them or to them... So, in a way, he is the perfect picture of fear of performance and trying to maintain a facade and taking care of everyone as he sees right, while seeking every cheat moment to get out of his responsibilities and find out what makes him actually happy, because he doesn't make most of his decisions from that place.
Well, no EpiPens around back then. If you're allergic and you got an anaphylactic shock, you died. Even today and with an EpiPen it's not that simple and it's so very fast. In the books Anthony is struggling with his own mortality. His father and his uncle died young. He realy is thinking, that he wont live a long life, so he does not want to cause pain to someone left behind. He saw how his mother suffered and how it effected him and the older siblings. Society dictates his path, so he'll marry out of duty (not love), have an heir to pass on his title - no regrets and everything on order for his early demise... Blah, blah, blah,... Well, life had other plans. His heart is way past having no feelings, his head and thinking is slow and wrong though. The opera singer was just a fling, his mistress in the books and she would never have been accepted into polite society. It was very normalised back then for men of the ton to have a secret mistress, women on the other hand had to be pure and of good breeding (stock).
anthony never loved sienna..in books also they have a character like her he only treated her as his mistress i dont think so ever loved someone before kate well in a romantic sort of way
Really? Then what WERE his feelings towards her, & why the longing looks & deep breathing when he saw her at the opera, the gentleman's club & the ball where she was singing? Just lust?
yes it was lust. likebhave you seen the sex scenes? he was throwing that girl around the room like it was nothing 💀 he knew he would never be able marry her anyway because of the society they live in so it was easier for him to be with her.
@@katlikethatprodz Going by Siena's heartbreaking monologue to him at the end of their relationship, it seemed more than just lust on her part...& to be honest, Anthony crying & pleading with her in that scene didn't give me the impression that he was lamenting the loss of merely banging her....
I will never understand why people still want Edwina to be in a marriage of convenience where Anthony ditches her in the country while he travels to London. Their chaperoned talk was him being away and her reading a book to him...truve wuuve?
Hey completely off topic but.. is there a possibility you can put up all your reactions to every season of big mouth I can only see season 4 and 5 and I would really like to seasons 1&2
She said “I knew he would only end up hurting you” because Anthony literally admitted in front of her he doesn’t want a love match when talking to his friends. It’s not like she knows Anthony is in love with her at this point.
Ahhh this is getting intense! 😳 I’m glad he’s stalling with the proposal bcos if it does go ahead Kate will always be around and they might get even closer and this can hurt her sister 😩also I’m glad ur not on anyones side and see the situation in diff perspectives 💗
I love your reactions!!! You should try watching Our Flag Means Death on HBO max with Tails Watiti. I just finished it yesterday and it was soooo good!! My favorite way to describe it is Queer Pirates😂❤
Can you please react to 👉the lady of heaven trailer? The movie was shown in AMC Theaters in the US and it had a very long and successful run there. The next move is for it to be shown in Fiji, which is located in the South Pacific Ocean on April 21st and in Canada on April 29th and in Ireland and Northern Ireland on the same day as Canada’s and in Australia at a later date. After the theater deals are finished it will have a worldwide release via movie streaming platforms ❤️❤️

He knew his relationship with Sienna would never be on par with the love his parents shared. He had passion with Sienna but she was also his way of avoiding marriage aka possibly finding true love.
Some folks also seem to forget she didn't like his family much or care for them, so she would've gotten more resentful about his obligations to them
Also they didn’t change Anthony’s story line for the second season. At the end of season one he clearly says he wants to find a wife but doesn’t wanna find love.

It was lust not love

One of the interviews Jonathan saidAnthony always knew he would never be able to merry Siena deep down. And it was kind of self dooming act.

same
And she was still just a mistress in the show too..
