seeing everyone going from smiling after seeing kanthony's kiss to frowning from seeing eliose w cressida is so real 😭
I am questioning if Eloise and Cressida genuinely feel a kinship with each other. If it is a genuine connection, it will make me less angry.
Did she know Cressida is Penelope’s bully. I think she did in the books, but in the show we don’t see Eloise in scenes where Cressida is being mean to Penelope. Or did we? May need to rewatch for closer inspection.
If she did know Cressida was Penelope’s bulky, that is awful no matter how angry you are with her.
I get finding new friends while you are taking space to cool off and seeing if you want to continue being friends with this person, but your friend’s bully? Ugh!
I read somewhere that they wanted to show why Cressida became a bully...I just hope they don't try to excuse her shitty behaviour. I will also be gutted if they turn me against Eloise and make her a mean girl too. Not looking promising but there must be a redemption story for her and Colin. There has to be!
@@gabrielleduplessis7388Also, Eloise knew she was horrible because she told Cressida she'd rather die than leave Pen to be her friend. My new theory is maybe she was trying to protect Penelope in some way from Cressida. Maybe wishful thinking!
@@gabrielleduplessis7388 Cressida bullied Penelope in front of Eloise & others. The "insipid wallflower" comment came from Cressida & Eloise repeated it to Pen in their fight. She thinks poorly of Cressida's character. Even with Eloise knowing Pen's secret, it's difficult to see why she would align herself with Cressida. I get cutting Pen off but, befriending Cressida of all people makes no sense.
@@zoc.6922 I completely forgot about the “insipid wallflower” comment.
Appreciate this information because I can go back ti being mad at Eloise now.
Colin uses the word friends like Anthony uses the word gentleman. I wasn't buying it last season and I am not buying it now. 😅
😂😂 you are right
So true 😂🤣😂
Babes, at this point I'm just waiting for the person that will do the fmv of "Friends" by Ed Sheeran featuring these two!
This is how I feel with Penelope's use of the word suitor like how Kate used "I'm returning to India" in the last season.
I love this so much 😂
One of my favorite moments in the trailer is Albion Finch's huge smile when Penelope enters in her green dress. Everyone else is shocked, but Albion is all "There goes my SIL looking fabulous!"
It was so sweet! I’m so glad Philippa married Albion instead of Lord Berbrooke.
Absolutely here for the Featherington husbands. Dankworth looks like he could have such golden retriever energy.
That was so cute!
Yes! I love that cheese nerd! ❤
This is already a classic fan fave moment, I can tell! Adorbs!
I think the hair and makeup crew and costume designers deserve so much credit for making the main characters really stand out. Like everyone looks good but the main leads look extra good.
I wasn’t really as worried about Colin and Penelope’s chemistry because Luke and Nicola already have so much chemistry in the press junkets I’ve seen (they were practically sitting on top of each other during the live trailer reaction). They really went to the Shonda Rhime’s School of Chemistry 😂😂😂
YES. I co-sign everything you say about Eloise and her archetype. Like you said, I think Eloise irritates me not because she's the overtly feminist character to the modern viewer, but because she's the version of feminist who doesn't simply reject traditional female aspirations, but disdains women who DO want that. That really irritates me. And I hope she learns that. Jo March learns that: that Amy and Meg's aspirations, values, and how they go about obtaining them are no less worthwhile because they're different from her, and that their desire for things that society deems "good" or appropriate for women, doesn't diminish or negate the unfairness that hers are harder to pursue or obtain. Her bitterness over the restrictions of her position have blinded her to the privileges of that position, as well as made her incapable (thus far) of showing empathy to other people.
THIS! I had exactly this on my mind while watching S2 especially and you beautifully put it into words. Like I didn't maybe hate her character but she irritated me beyond oblivion because she thinks she is so smart and above all those "womanly duties" yet she is acting like a total BRAT. She really needs to realize how immature she still is and it needs to be in a hard way.
@@annafirnen4815 Completely. I really hope the writers have this set up as a learning curve for her, and not just a staple of her character because otherwise, I cannot STAND her.
In the show I completely agree about Eloise’s character. In the book she not has harsh and I definitely like her more in the books but the actress is doing a great job. I’m hoping her character has the great development this season and she kind of grows up.
@@jacquelinegross i mean "her season" is approaching...we know that she is going to get married eventually...so at some point the growing up will have to begin...i really hope it is this season. because her behaviour is really getting tiresome
I love Eloise, she will learn as much as she has to, but I completely understand her frustration with the confines her society places on women. Yes many of the women around her seem content within these confines. This means she’s in the minority, which is why she must continuously be honest in making her views known.
I completely agree with you about Eloise being that archetype like she is litterly the definition of check your privilege and I sincerely hope she grows out of it or starts to grow out of this season because I AM TIRED.
Oh I completely agree- I found her character to be quirky and fun in the first season but by S2, I could see that she is too much a "not like the other girls" girl who is supremely out of touch with her privilege. Her race privilege, her class privilege, her pretty privilege, her "I am a fucking Bridgerton" privilege. She sees none of the huge advantages she has in life, but expects others around to make similar decisions as her with none of the privilege.
I think Eloise was not the best friend to Pen. She just got used to having her unyielding support, but I never saw Eloise ever trying to understand Penelope, or help her with her problems or bolster her confidence at all. She just does not get that when she chooses, as a wealthy, conventionally attractive woman of house Bridgerton to not marry, it is one thing to be a spinster. But for Penelope, who does not have rank or wealth, and is forced into being a spinster because she is "not attractive" and so nobody chose her to be their partner, is quite another.
Eloise needs a giant dose of self-awareness. Like you're not such a young character anymore. Grow up.
Theo called her out in S2 and didn't Penelope also call her out in S1 (or S2 too) where she told her "so what if I do [want to get married]?" and "not everyone can be a pretty bridgerton!"
So this tells me that the writers on THREE occasions know Eloise has a lot of privileges holding her horse up high so let's REALLY get her to see that!
@@IAmOmniscientThe thing is Eloise does end up spinster.. that is what is to come until her season
What has Eloise done that is anywhere near what Penelope has been doing for the past 2 seasons?
@@phoenixflames9042 Eloise's attitude is grating to watch. She has a supportive, high-ranking family & continuously judges women around her for wanting stability. When women not getting married is essentially a death sentence. Penelope for all her faults, as an unmarried woman, she is vulnerable. Her family is terrible to her. It's hard to imagine Anthony kicking Eloise to the curb if she doesn't marry. They have enough money and the Bridgerton's are very loving. Also, judging Daphne for wanting a family was immature. She's out of touch. Now with Eloise becoming friends with Cressida, her behavior has become laughable. It's hard to see how she'd keep the moral high ground.
10:54 And Shonda (allegedly, I saw a comment on the Bridgerton live event thing say something like that) saying that Colin is not going to realise his feelings for Pen because of Lord Debling’s presence but because this whole dating coach thing is allowing them to hang out so much and he sees her in a new light, and she sees him in a new light is the cherry on top. This premise reminds me so much of the DUFF and I liked the DUFF so I’ll like this too.
I kinda got this impression from the trailer. I like this for both Colin and Pen. I love the idea of someone finding Pen attractive and just coming out with it. It's about time she got that attention. And for Colin his feelings are coming to the surface long before Lord Debling even enters the picture. If it's what he needs to give the final push, so be it. It's not the conventional love triangle with extreme jealousy by the looks of things. The obvious/main triangle is Pen, Colin and Eloise...and I'm here for it!
@@amihpriya9472 i think Lord Debling is in the picture just too "torture" Colin a bit
@@ninnak-ve5ko and, if we go by rumours, he'll be the link to Cressida and her story so all in all I'm feeling positive about this
i am thinking that this season violet and kate get closer as a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law duo, and violet ends up sort of slowly handing over all the responsibilities to kate.
I bet Francesca is just really nervous and needs her mother. It’s not personal to Kate. Frannie is a sensitive soul 😊
I think Kate also has enough "respect" for Violet to let her guide the older kids into society before Violet lets her take over. Being a viscountess isn't just about the debutantes after all
The norm was for debutantes to be presented by their mothers regardless of tittles, being presented by a different woman was the exception (like if your mother was sick or dead). Violet didn't present Daphne, Eloise or Francesca because she was the vicountess, she presented them because she is their mother.
I think Eloise and Penelope will end up having the conversation where Penelope talks about how she turned to Lady Whistledown because she didn’t have a supportive family like Eloise does and that will be what makes Eloise check her privilege in terms of a supportive structure. We already saw Theo check Eloise on her class privilege at the end of season 2, I’m hoping the conversation between her and Pen will be the final nail in the coffin for her to realise how privileged she is.
It’s needed cause some people are saying Eloíse seaosn 5 and Im like she is absolutely not ready for it. At all. It has to be Benedict unless Eloíse grows so damn much
I remember that, too, as Theo check was her 1st check-yo-privilege ✅️ Hope Pen appealing to her sensibilities and deep love for what they had will do the trick - not apology but an ask for understanding
@@wittleMermaid13Penelope has to apologise to Eloise, after all she lied to her continuously and that can’t be any type of true friendship.
@@LB-ih7hn Yeah, their friendship wasn’t really a true one but I wouldn’t necessarily say that Pen should be the only one apologising. Maybe Eloise should also apologise for not giving her friend a safe enough space to fully be herself around her (Eloise herself said that she never really listened to Penelope, and that can be a pretty isolating experience to have someone who is supposedly your friend not listen to a word you say). But an apology from either of them is not necessary, they just both need to communicate their feelings and what they want out of the friendship moving forward. But I can see Pen being the bigger person and apologising to Eloise first because she does feel incredibly guilty for what she did to Eloise (she even went to find Eloise at the end of season 2 to apologise and the trailer and still images hints at her doing the same at episode one of season 3)
Youean season 4. I'm thinking Eloise is season 5 too because they can't keep putting off poor Benedict XD@@maciedixon3983
In the Kanthony dance scene if you look closely you will notice as other couples are maintaining distance between them while dancing, Anthony and Kate are dancing nose to nose each other like they have forgotten all the decorum of society now they are married 😭😭
the full on freaking out when kanthony showed up THATS MY GIRL
I believe that they're featuring Cressida more because it's possible that Benedict's Sophie could be coming from Cressida's family. So we could be introduced to Sophie's character with her being in the background in 1 or 2 scenes, maybe having a line or two. Then at the last episode, Sophie will don that silver dress and meet Benedict. That will set up Benedict's S4 very well.
Omg! That’s such a good point 😳🙌🏽
I read that Kate can't present people to the queen because she wasn't presented herself. Any female guardian/relative can present provided that they have also presented first.
This trailer had me GAGGED from start to finish and call me bias but I will be soaking up EVERY SINGLE Kathony moment 😂
Oh be biased lmao us kanthony fans deserve to be unashamedly sat for the marital bliss that awaits us 🤭 🔥
Oh girl, with you on the flame symbolism.
I like how it ignites and rises when he realizes his feelings and desires.
If this trailer is only for episodes 1-4, we are getting spoiled this season. Cannot wait for part 2. Good god!
I like the Featheringtons because they are a realistic portrayl of what happened to alot of female dominant familys in this time period. Edmund and Violet's love match was the exception and not the rule, so of course the Bridgerton family is happy, and all the siblings love each other, they had love and happiness moddled for them, wheras presumably Portia's husband married her for her dowary, and when she subsequently had no sons, became neglectful and disdainful. Yes Portia doesn't emotionally support her children the way Violet does, but she is struggling in a patriarchal society, and against the financial burdens her husband left on her, attempting to marry her daughters off, which she has been taught by society is her ONLY job as a mother of daughters. And, as we saw last season in her final scene with Jack, she is willing to defend her children against all threats to their family unit, even when it comes at the cost of her own possible happiness/love - things which unlike Violet Bridgerton she has clearly not had an abbundence of.
Also as we've seen in Queen Charlotte Violet's parents weren't in love, but she did have an affectionate and involved parent in Lord Ledger, whereas we know nothing about Portia's family, and can assume she came from a period typical unhappy home, and was raised by nannies.
Sorry this comment is so long, I love your reactions, and generally thinks you're spot on with all of your opinions/theories, I just have an obbsession with ruthlessly pragmatic women in history/historical dramas and that's what I think Portia is.
I agree. I don't love Portia's methods, but I understand why she believes they are necessary. I think what she did to Marina was horrible - lying about her child's father being dead. However, her Season 2 actions didn't bother me as much. She was in a horrible spot and was in desperate need of money. She's trying to take care of her girls the best way she knows how given her social station.
@@jcgardeniaHonestly, I can defend Portia's handling of the Marina situation from her lived experiences. She's handed this self centered and out of touch girl to marry off, fully aware that her situation is going to impact her own daughters. It's cold hearted when watching from the outside, but in truth she was trying to handle the problem for everyone.
I love how you phrased this comment. Not only are The Featherington's the only accurate portrayal of a female dominated household of The Regency Period, they are the viewer's ONLY example in this show of what an accurate "family" structure would have resembled---regardless of whether or not there were male or female offspring. The Bridgetons are revered in this instance (of the show's world), not ONLY because of their position in The Ton, but because they are GENUINELY HAPPY people who have transcended the despicable nature of the others around them and have managed to thrive on top of it all. It is because of this that everyone who would be considered part of their "peerage" has a love/hate relationship with The Bridgetons----they are not "inside" society in this show, they tower above IT....
This is 100% true , Portia is a real life representation of a toxic mother who loves her children .
In addition to your points is also the fact that they are new money to the ton society which adds further pressure to her.
The whole Eloise/Cressida friendship reeks of revenge and manipulation to me.
I have a soft spot for Eloise because i see my teenage self im her self-righteous attitude, and i truly believe, like me, it comes from insecurity about not knowing your place in the world. Sometimes people stand so strong on their principals because there is security in it and when you have them you never have to question anything and come to change and accept you may have priveledges and that your world view may not be the most correct one. In my head cannon I see her seeing how her actions affect those least fortunate than her and coming to change
Yes this is the take. Hopefully Eloise herself also understands this
I think your analyzis is on point. Her insecurities has been shown.
But her attitude is still rude and annoying and I am looking forward to see her check all of her privileges, grow up and adjust her worldview and attitude.
Eloise has the best lines in the how but she annoyed me so much in s2
shonda is really testing my patience by having two parts
Honestly, I doubt Shonda made that decision. More likely Netflix executives
@@kiraalldredge48 hmm yes makes sense
blame netflix not shonda
A lot of shows newest seasons are having two parts due to filming being partly started before the writers strike. I think it’s a way to explain the changes in the character’s physical appearance in part two
totally agree with you on the new friendship between Eloise and Cressida, but there was a theory that Sophie comes from Cressida's family and if that is true I think the writers are going to use this season to introduce us to Cressida's situation so that we can enter next season more prepared for Benedict's story. That would be really cool
I think Eloise's immaturity is her biggest flaw, but I suspect that she'll eventually grow as a person.
Hopefully 🤞🤞🤞
She thinks she knows everything, but don't all teenagers
@@serenitysubs933 No. Not all of them. Or at least not all teenagers are THAT self-centered, irresponsible and arrogant.
But she IS a teenager, with lots of room to grow, mature and become a great person (once she is over that phase of her life).
I'd like to see Eloise doing her best "Nancy Drew" trying to catch Pen and Colin in compromising situations.
I think part 1 will end on Colin finding out that Pen is Lady Whistledown
Omg. It can't that won't be good for my mental state! But it would build up the suspense
I think you might be onto something. And then the first episode of part 2 could start with the rest of the carriage scene.
yup and maybe it stops when they enter the carriage for ykyk
I don’t think I’ll be doing much functioning between may 16th and June 13th. 🙃
100% where my head is at, the scene where he calls her in the end at night I think he is there to confront her about this
Even in the books Eloise attitude to Penelope really annoyed me.
Yes Penelope mother always thought she was going to grow old with her, but Eloise literally thought the same.
She chose not to participate in the marriage mart, but she had all the advantages. She was content being a spinster with Penelope - because no one woukd court her.
And when Penelope does find a partner , her world falls apart. Shouldn't she be happy to now live like a sister with a friend? She can still have a dream of being unmarried but why was Penelope marriage status so important?
She put all her expectations on Penelope. Who, she didnt even know was in love with her brother or Lady Whistledown.
Last season, at Penelope own house - one siblings ransacks her room whilst another publicly humiliates her. The sense of entitlement.
I felt the Eloise betrayal worst than Colin's last comments in S2. That is how much I loved that friendship. I just can't belive my eyes! She can't be friends with Cressida! No way!
Exactly! The thing is that while Eloise has every right to be mad at the way Penelope decided to protect Eloise and her family… Penelope actually didn’t do it with ill intent and she chose one of the secrets that would hurt Eloise the least. Eloise becoming friends with Pen’s bully just seems petty and intentional.. Which sucks!
I felt that Penelope's betrayal was worse than Eloise making a new friend with someone who was kind to her after being stabbed in the back by a spiteful jealous shrew who claimed to be her friend.
@@wg3464 Spiteful ? Penelope was crying after writing about Eloise and then broke Her Quill. She hated what She had to do, in order to save Her Best Friend from the Queen's wrath. There was Not an inch of spite on her face. Logically, what spite would one have on a person who got threatened by the Queen ?
And "someone who was kind" LOL that's literally basic human decency. Eloise, had she behaved otherwise with Penelope, would be in neck deep trouble with Violet. If anything, Eloise is definitely Not the friend She claimed to be. She has to grow up a lot to become that. Most of their Conversations are on what Eloise wants to see in this World. Penelope atleast admits and works on Her flaws. The audacity and entitlement to ransack Pen's Room in Her own Home ? Pen atleast showed a Mirror to the Ton's behaviour, while Eloise is all talk and no action.
@@shilpavijay7490 Penelope in general is spiteful, she was spiteful to Eloise in season 1 with her 'pretty Bridgerton' line she spat out, she was spiteful about a number of young women in the Ton, she was in general spiteful and jealous. of the Bridgertons.
Penelope did not have to write about Eloise, she could have been a friend to Eloise and told her the truth and they could have worked out a solution together, so yes that is spiteful.
As a character Eloise is much kinder than Penelope is or was. But I see you share Penelope's jealousy of Eloise. Oh, and Penelope has NEVER worked on her flaws, if she did she would have talked to Eloise instead of betraying her, she would not have immediately gone back to her spiteful little gossip column at the end of season 2 after claiming she gave it up.
Penelope is an awful character, and she is not worthy of Eloise's friendship, and she really isn't worthy of being a Bridgerton, but every family has a person in it that can't be trusted and she will be the one for the Bridgerton family.
@@wg3464 Penelope in general is anything but Spiteful and Jealous. With Her impulsive nature, Eloise wouldn't have worked out a solution had Penelope told her. As a character, Eloise isn't half as kind as Penelope was. Most of the conversations between them are totally one-sided. Had Eloise been half the friend She claimed to be, She would have realised that Pen was Lady Whistledown long back.
Coming to the unnecessary, incorrect and mannerless personal comment - no, if anything at all, I don't share jealousy with Pen, because both of us don't have it. However me as a person have much in common, both with Eloise and Penelope. The comment proves you as an awful person, much similar to a bully like the cowper girl. Grow Up, little one.
No betrayal exists when what Pen did was save Eloise, and as for Whistledown, yeah, Eloise admired that work before She knew that Pen was the one who wrote it. So there exists no judgment for Pen going back to Her work - atleast, She as a living member of the Ton dared to hold a mirror to the Society.
Penelope in general is a pretty good character - imperfect, yes, but definitely working on Her flaws, contrary to what your childish whiny tantrums claim. Whistledown is certainly not one of Her flaws, and if you feel so, then you've certainly been caught in the head-lights in a similar manner. She isn't worthy of Eloise's Friendship - yes, She deserves much, much better. She is absolutely worthy of being a Bridgerton - She is, infact, already much more, and She'll be the one who can be more trusted.
Keep Crying like this, Kid. Your unreasonable Hate towards that character is nothing but Personal. Get Therapy.
I am unwell after the Vanity Fair article saying that Cressida is also going after Lord Debling.
THEORY:
I also really wanted Kate to present Francesca BUT i read somewhere that whenever a Lady married/changed her name (especially if she married into a title) would have to be presented at court along with the debutantes. So I reckon this could happen with Kanthony like anthony presenting Kate to the queen - which might also explain why he's dressed differently the other bros and has that lil medal on (medal for being a viscount idk lmao)
The reason why Kate is not presenting Francesca is because a debutant is usually presented by their mother regardless if the mother no longer has their title. Also -it is required a previously presented woman presents a debutant. Kate was never presented in court.
@@GameOfComics ahhh ok - thanks! still so curious about anthony's medal though haha
Hope the Queen doesn't go like : "Aaah, finally, the Correct Sharma Sister."
Hello! It is I, unironic lover of house Featherington!
Specifically, Portia. Phillipa and Finch are adorable, but Portia was actually my favourite character last season, because I love the layers and nuances to her (not in the books, of course).
Portia has lived her life at the mercy of men who are not as smart as her. She has to do whatever her idiot husband says, and when he ruins their lives, she has to fix it. And she does, everytime, because she will do anything for her daughters. Watching her criminal masterminding and then tossing the new Lord F. Out the door last season was so entertaining to me. If Portia was rich like the Bridgertons, she could take over the world.
She’s smart and loyal and beautiful and ruthless and shameless and has terrible taste and I love that all these things exist in one character. She is often unlikable and seems like a bad mother compared to Violet, but Portia has a fraction of Violet’s resources. She has no wealth and no sons to ensure her safety. She must save her daughters in a world where women aren’t supposed to do anything.
I think the Featheringtons are a brilliant illustration of the privilege the Bridgertons have (that Eloise doesn’t see). It’s easy to be honourable and sanguine and likeable when you’re rich, beautiful and universally admired.
That being said, I do think the Featherington’s role should decrease significantly after Penelope is married, though I will miss them (and their insane costuming) immensely.
Completely agree with you on Eloise lol gives me PTSD flashbacks to some white feminist girls in high school 😭 And about the people on the dance floor I think Benedict might be the guy or Sophie might be the woman either way fingers crossed they introduce her this season 🤞🏾
Yes, I got a great screenshot and zoomed in. It is a girl with dark curly hair and a man with only shorts or short trousers on! 🔥
@@KK-oe4xw yo what kind of device do you have cuz damn 😭😭😭 the curls tho 😭😭😭
@@kwdegefa7016 It was just lucky screenshot using my phone and then I zoomed. It was a version of the trailer in portrait mode so it was closer any way. The other dancing scene is the one with Kanthony dancing at the ball too.
Wish I could post it here!
@@KK-oe4xw that makes so much sense 😯 thanks 😊
I like Eloise on paper but she keeps doing stuff that pisses me off too. She also claims to be Pen’s best friend but she has no idea who Penelope is. And I don’t mean about Lady Whistledown. Eloise is very self absorbed and I think that keeps her from seeing beyond her own “problems”. She could be a great character but she needs to grow up, she has a lot of learning to do. She could have a great arc if they write it well. I hope they do.
I agree. The one thing that really stood out to me about Pen's and Eloise's friendship is that Eloise is always the one talking (Pen does talk, but much less than El) and it pissed me off so much in the last episode of s2 when Eloise admitted to finally truly listening to what Pen was saying during balls (or maybe in all of their conversations?). Eloise claims to be Pen's best friend and is so offended when she discovers the LW secret, and yet she doesn't pay much attention to Pen, and everything has to revolve around her and how much she hates how women currently live. Additionally, El doesn't seem to realise that all that she despises about being a woman - like wearing beautiful gowns, being able to fall in love, marry and have a family - is all Pen dreams about with the knowledge of it probably never becoming true because of her family and her being an ignored wallflower.
I think a lot of people are not understanding the rules of debuting in English society.
A girl could only be presented by a woman who herself had been presented and Kate was not presented in society. Also, usually mothers who have been presented in society are the ones to present their daughters regardless if they are no longer titled. I love Kate, but in this situation she would not be the one to present Francesca to the Queen. Historically, it would be Violet.
That was the most more-than-friends handshake i have ever seen. I am SO excited for Polin. Drooling over Colin this whole trailer (and since season 1).
And completely agree with everything you said about Eloise and have been nothing but frustrated with her from the very beginning.
Not sure if anyone commented about who was dancing on that giant dance floor at one point in the trailer. I saw on an instagram reel that they are just performers, however what was important in that scene was the floor which depicted a picture of Eros (Cupid) and Pysche. In Greek mythology, Eros is assigned to find Psyche a husband but in the process Eros accidentally shots himself and falls in love with her. There’s more similarities such as Pysche having two sisters and Venus (Queen Charlotte is associated with Venus) is jealous of Pysche… Queen Charlotte is jealous of Lady Whistledown. In art, Pysche is depicted by butterfly wings… one of the first dresses Penelope wears in season one has a butterfly on the front. So pretty sure nothing in Bridgerton is random or a coincidence.
Eros-Psyche-Venus Parallel is an awesome find ! And Your Last Sentence is spot on. If we look at Season 1 Colin, then a lot of the time, He dressed very similar to little Gregory, save for Colin's Yellow Bow Tie (Gregory donned the Bridgerton Blue one). It signified that Colin was still Not grown up, although he was elder to Daphne. Anthony and Benedict dressed differently, similar to each other, though. Colin's bedroom had yellow coloured sheets and wallpapers, and the mallets that both Him and Eloise pick in the Pall-Mall Game in Season 2 are Yellow. Sooooo many details that would be hard to pass off as coincidence. Love how Shonda sees through such minute details to form the grand big picture.
I am even more excited for this season, this was such a good observation, I love Greek mythology and polin is my fav couple so super excited for this
I personally think that make Penelope and Eloise beefing this season is an excelent idea. In ss1 and ss2, when Polin interact, most of the time Eloise just always there or interrupt their conversation. In ss3 without Eloise around, I think Pen and Colin will know each other better and that how their love build up.
When I saw the trailer, I was already thinking about your reaction video!!! Kicking, screaming, gagging with youuuu
8:36 Girl, same 😬
The way everyone act like Pen did this unimaginable cruelty and not simply made the best decision she could in a complex situation? Conviniently forgetting, that both El and Pen are living in a difficult time for women, where you had to behave a certain way to hopefullt achieve stability and happiness? And while both are nobility, they have wildly different families, where El is treated with love and respect and Pen is dismissed and bullied. But El STILL behaves like she's the most unimaginably tragic woman and ONLY her problems matter and only SHE'S smart enough to see how ridiculous it all is. And keeps making stupid mistakes like messing with the Queen and hanging out with a boy unchaperoned? And when the consequences of her actions finally catch up to her, with the Queen's ultimatum and gossip about Theo getting out it's suddenly all Pen's fault. While she's been successfully conducting her business unnoticed for 2 years? The Queen could've literally hang her for her little gossip sheet if she felt like it (I don't think Bridgerton would go that dark, but still), why would she expose herself? The sheet is not just her pride and income (rare for a woman at the time), but the only way to control any part of her life.
Tbh I hope Cressida gets some love this season, bcs she's actually been out the same time as Pen and when she's not actively bullying she's cute 😭So it would be cool if she grew and apologized for her behaviour and then Eloise can learn that being a bitch doesn't bode well when everyone around learns from their mistakes 😂
Right ??? People are Mad. Penelope deserves Better. She certainly has flaws, but atleast She is trying to work on them.
I agree 100% about Eloise and you stated it more eloquenty than I could. One thing that bothered me about Eloise is that she couldn't understand Daphney and she thought Penelope was jsut like her and was surprised to learn Penelope enjoyed society. I was happy to see Violet presenting Francesca as in the previous seasons where she was announced as the dowager viscountess, which she still is, plus Violet is the mother. There are many other ways where Kate can be the viscountess. Now if Kate is "with child" that would limit what she would be allowed to do in public.
Honestly it would be refreshing and quite cathartic to see Colin take Pen’s side over the Whistledown drama, even choosing Pen over his own sister. I think it would be a wake up call for Eloise that Pen is also someone to be seen and not to be so self-centred and for once she’s in Pen’s situation of being the outcast.
Colin would probably be worried for Penelope and even angry at Her, for posing a direct challenge to the Queen. Nevertheless, even I believe that He would stand by Her unlike Eloise.
I literally screamed when I saw the notification!
I'm eager to watch how Kanthony handles everything that comes with this season as lord and lady Bridgerton, Benedict's inevitable downfall , Colin's brilliant suggestion to assist Pen in finding a husband, Eloise herself, and whatever it is that seems to be bothering Francesca. Although it genuinely made me sick to the stomach seeing Eloise hanging out with Cressida, i'm kinda seated for what they're planning to do with Eloise's character not gonna lie I wouldn't be shocked if they decided to switch things up once more and declare that season 4 would be Eloise's season because, at the moment, things don't appear to be going well for Eloise with Theo gone, and Penelope getting married before her.
I love seeing the Featherings. They are messy and in a constant struggle, and I love seeing what Portia will pull to make sure her daughters are married. Also especially in season one, I loved seeing the aspect of just how much the women in this time had to depend on a man and what happens when the men screw everything up.
Me too I feel like I'm alone in liking the featherington side plots lol. They will probably be replaced by Cressida family in the next seasons though. People are saying Sophie most likely might be a maid in Cressida house and that's one reason she will have a bigger role to play. Plus I love Polly Walker she is a brilliant actress and I love how she plays Portia. Definitely a grey character but a strong woman for her time. Penelope definitely gets the LW side from her lol.
You don't know how much relief I had when you said you found Eloise annoying. Me and my best friend thought we were the only ones! We were constanly going like, "Why does everyone like her so much?" And her behavior this season doesn't seem like it's going to improve. But I can only hope that Penelope realizes how one-sided that friendship was and flourishes this season. She deserves it.
i liked her in season 1. but she became super annoying in season 2. like she doesn't grow at all as a character. she just has one note.
@@ninnak-ve5ko My friend says that note is flat and thankfully Penelope's is sharp. I just feel like Eloise lives in her own world and doesn't realize the disadvantages other women have in that society. She's a Bridgerton so she has different opportunities.
This season looks like it's going to be the best yet I am so freaking pumped!!!!
Thank you so much for saying everything that I have always said about Eloise!!!! Every time I watch a UA-camr review Bridgerton, they always say that Eloise is their favorite character, and I'm always left wondering if I'm the crazy one because I have never liked that girl. I see someone who is just as much as a bully as Cressida is, but Eloise is more passive-aggressive than Cressida, so it actually doesn't surprise me that they would become friends.
You have a point. I've always disliked Eloise, but never considered her a bully though. But she really kind of is a passive aggressive bully sometimes.
Remember when Daphne was praised as diamond? Or when Benedict (her favourite brother!) opened up to her a bit, how she threw a fit about how he's not allowed to have problems.
Not to mention with Pen, who rightfully called her out on her bs; did Eloise even consider if Pen _wanted_ to stay a spinster with her? Or even if she wanted to, if she would've been able to and been ok?
She is a broke girl from a family people don't much respect. Who'd pay for Pen's living expenses? Eloise? And would she be ok living stuck with her mom and maybe also Prudence who are both awful to her?
It's not even just her privilege, Eloise just doesn't seem to have consideration for others? She's not evil or anything, just self-centered.
She's not even a feminist, she doesn't seem to really care about women in general, just about _her_ being a woman by chance. She's arrogant too, and she undermines, if not insults, women who want marriage/love/stability and/or want to make the best of the cardd they were given, as well as their talents and skills.
Sorry for the rant btw! I just always wanted to find people who share this opinion.
I remember when I was first introduced to Bridgerton, a friend said about Eloise that "she's all of us"... yeah no thanks 🫠
Can't wait to see more of her character arc though! Or maybe not, considering the Cressida scene...
I really want this season to do well because the hate on the TL towards Polin has crossed over into personal attacks on Nic and Luke. It’s been disgusting.
THANK YOU! IF ELOISE HAS NO HATERS? SHES judgemental, arrogant & such a bad friend to Pen!
In defense of Eloise, Pen’s betrayal devastated her and it was a betrayal. Not a cruel betrayal but a betrayal nonetheless. Eloise might not be self aware and is annoyingly self righteous and is being an asshole but make no mistake, that girl is heartbroken.
I agree with you BUT I really can't stand Eloise's selfishness, if you take a look at their interactions they are always talking about what Eloise wants and how Eloise looks at the world, she has never asked Pen if she WANTS to get married for example, she just assumed that she doesn't, and the one time in season one Pen told her off because of it, Eloise was all butt hurt and left and never asked about again. I agree that she has a right to be mad a Penelope for what she did but to be so self absorbed that you can't even question WHY your friend would keep something like that from you and then go a make friends with her bully? Throw the whole girl away
Eloise going to piss me off this season I fear cuz what do you mean CRESSIDA YOU HYPOCRITE
I know!!! Of all people to become friends with!!
LITERALLY THIS !!! i remember in season 2 (?) when cressida tells eloise she might have an opening in her little friend group and eloise cuts her off by saying she's rather die lol. I've heard people saying how they think eloise might start to get into the whole debutant thing and genuinely become friends with cressida, but i really think eloise is doing it out of spite. it just sucks because cressida made penelope's life a living hell. I'm not saying pen isn't in the wrong at all but idk man i am just not looking forward to seeing eloise unless they made up lmao 😭
Everyone should leave Eloise alone, if her only friend didn’t continuously lie to her, shs wouldn’t be playing up as Cressida’s friend.
@@LB-ih7hn Not a good enough reason, it is Not even a good excuse. Normal People don't go and befriend a Bully just because they had a falling out with another Friend. Glad that Eloise is getting called out, She deserves it.
So glad I found people who don’t like Eloise like me because I can’t stand her. I was excited for a “feminist” character, thought it would be funny to see her navigate this world; and realized quickly (especially when it comes to the women around her that she basically mistreats imo) she’s a mockery. She’s what people think of when they don’t know what feminism actually stands for. Just terrible writing frankly. We don’t care if you want to marry and have a family, please do if that’s what you really want. We just don’t want that to be the ONLY choice. I’ve seen in other comment sections where people try to bash Penelope for betraying her. NO. Penelope tried to warn her from doing stupid stuff. Penelope tried to save her from the Queen and gave it up being Lady W for her in trying to save her. Eloise was too busy being all about Eloise and Lady W and failed to see her (supposed) best friend was desperate to get married, and her family was flirting, HARD, with financial ruin. Eloise just assumed Penelope was like her, showing she didn’t actually care about Penelope. Eloise was jealous Penelope actually did something, especially because it involved writing. Eloise thinks she’s the smartest person in the room and she’s not. She can’t fathom her friend of all people, was basically a famous writer; not her. She’s an annoying and thinks she knows all and is better than others - especially other women- because she reads vs doing anything remotely feminine with all the free time being grossly wealthy affords her. She reminds me of a “pick me.”
I relate soooo much to your thoughts on Eloise, especially cause her book counterpart is so much better in my opinion. She has the quirky, more assertive personality, but isn't totally insufferable about it.
Season three should be both Polin and Kanthony fans favorite season. Blissfully, adorably married Kanthony, Colin and Pen secrectly pining for each other (omg the tension in just the trailer), great side plots to every character+++ and lots of steamy scenes! Nicola teased that this season wins the award for being the most saucy. Yass! I love it! Everyone’s winning! 🥰🤩
One thing that I really hope we get in season 3 is scenes between Penelope and other members of the Bridgerton family (more than just Colin and Eloise) Specifically, I really hope (unsure if we’d get this) for an actual genuine conversation between Penelope and Anthony.
The whole Eloise being friends with Cressida is driving me nuts too, I’m just annoyed with her character in general because in the books she was supportive of Penelope being Whistledown, but like you said in another video Book Whistledown is tamer compared to Show Whistledown who has the power to ruin lives. I personally hope that we see Eloise going into turmoil and reevaluating everything she wants in life and what she truly values. Also it was mentioned in a Netflix livestream by Cressida’s actor that her hairstyle hides her insecurity, so maybe them becoming friends was there for a reason and they really do actually bond over something? Maybe it’s not just Eloise being spiteful? At least I hope not, I don’t want to dislike her even more. Maybe she’s biding her time for something. I think Eloise and Penelope will reconcile slowly but surely, at least I hope so, but I think Eloise has some growing up to do before that happens.
“Does the man not own a shirt?”
I laughed so hard tea came out my nose.
Thank you for this delightful reaction, it was such fun!
Your reactions always feel like looking at myself in a mirror! I'm genuinely so excited for this season!!!
Okay, we're doing bullet points this time lol (I'm so sorry in advance for how long this comment is omg)
---I don't how we're gonna survive this season bc Luke said there's so much in the first two episodes and it's overwhelming to watch and if this trailer is any indication, I might not make it
---That outfit Kate's wearing when they're making out is my favorite so far that we've seen her in, she looks gorgeous.
---So Cressida I think was the most popular theory about the unlikely friend Eloise was gonna have and I've always thought it the most plausible, but I had a couple of my own theories that I'm grieving rn
---Totally with you on the Eloise rant, I'm actually kinda hoping we have a moment where Colin is like, you need to get over yourself, sure Pen made some shitty decisions, but this isn't fair to her
---I'm so ready for Prudank, it's not even funny
---Colin Bridgerton hasn't looked at Penelope Featherington in a platonic way this entire trailer and I don't expect him to throughout season 3. Not one single time. This man doesn't know the meaning of the word platonic.
-THE HAND CUT SCENE. Okay, I need Pen to be more worried about the carpet than Colin
---Okay, so I've been listening to a Polin podcast and I think there's been something said about Debling being a vegetarian and a big nerd about wildlife conservation or animals or something? And something they said in one of their recent podcast episodes reminded me of when Violet was asking Colin if he knew anybody interested in the tidying of dogs and my brain was like, does Debling know about the tidying of dogs and obviously I don't think he's actually interested in it, but it would've been so funny to me if Colin sabotaged Debling by setting Violet on him for Eloise
---I need Colin to get another gossip boner this season like the "What a barb" scene in S1
---I think Francesca might be going in the direction of being as close to a wallflower as a Bridgerton can get. There's a picture of her standing next to Pen at the ball where Pen's wearing the like emerald green dress and Adjoa's said this season's for the wallflowers, so I wonder if her and Pen might bond a little bit over being frustrated with the marriage mart or something? It'd be so sweet, esp since Pen doesn't have Eloise to turn to
Okay, I'm done now. This is like one of the few outlets I have for my excitement for this show, so thanks for making this content! I'd probably combust without it lol
Some reactions here:
- Yes to married Kanthony making goo-goo eyes (and a lot more than that) at each other. Love to see an established couple who are not only attracted to each other but also like each other.
- Also yes to Colin boarding the Struggle Express when he starts to realize his feelings for Penelope. (He'd better grovel.)
- Eloise going full mean girl and palling around with Cressida isn't that surprising when you realize that she is, yes, a modern white feminist from a privileged background in Regency drag. One hopes that this is part of a larger arc where she learns to check her privilege at the door.
- Penelope's transformation is ~chef's kiss~ here. I love that for her. I will add that I was nerding out over That Green Dress. From what I can tell by looking at the full-length shots, the dress is made with sequined tulle and has a contrast lining in (I think) a light copper--which effect would not have been unheard of in that era! Very striking and the soft full lines heighten Penelope's (and Nicola Coughlan's) natural radiance. I think it's great.
LOL Eloise is No Feminist. Penelope is. A Feminist doesn't go around hand-in-hand with a Bully like the Cowper Girl.
Had honestly liked Her in Season 1. Season 2 End transformed Eloise into a Modern Day Mean Girl.
@@shilpavijay7490 Touché. I could have worded that better. Eloise is portrayed as someone who appropriates the language and imagery of feminism for her own purposes but can't see past her own advantages. And yes, Eloise joining forces with the likes of Cressida Cowper is...not a great look for someone who claims to espouse feminist ideas.
@@AngryTheatreMaker Right. She needs to grow up and be aware of Her own privileges. Season 2 Climax was honestly, disappointing, when it came to Eloise. Glad that I am Not the only one calling her out.
Also, love how you described Pen's Show-Stealer Emerald-Copper Dress. I can't stop swooning over Her updated wardrobe and Style !
@@shilpavijay7490 Eloise is self-absorbed, no two ways about it. That self-absorption is a big part of what makes her a bad friend. Since she's never had to confront her own privilege, it makes sense that her theme song is more or less "I, Me, Mine". One hopes she gets a wake-up call in time, but we shall see.
Right? Penelope is embracing her own power here, and I think that's beautiful. (The Green Dress is also inspiring me to check out more dresses IRL that play with this kind of contrast.)
@@AngryTheatreMaker I felt that had it actually been Penelope whom the Queen had cornered, and Not Eloise, the Queen would Not have given a chance to Her. Eloise got that chance, just because She's a Bridgerton. She's blissfully unaware of it. Also, Eloise really admired Lady Whistledown - but when She discovered that it was the pen name of her dearest wallflower friend, it wasn't worry or even anger that she showed, it was straight up like : "How dare you do this without me ?" She did not even give her Childhood Friend a moment to explain her side ! After all, the Columns were one of the major reasons of the Leads finding each other, Colin narrowly escaping Marina, Madame Delacroix getting a customer boom.
As much as I hate to see Penelope sans any support system, I feel that it is high time for her to shine on her own ! Although I love the Emerald-Copper Dress, I kinda have a softer spot for the Dress that She dons in that still of Her sitting by the Window, palm on her chin and deep in thought. That one was ... how to say ... an everyday colour, soft and subtle, yet it looked absolutely stunning. I have Never seen that Colour look as gorgeous as this, before. It is Penelope making it beautiful, rather than the Dress itself being of extra-ordinary make.
As for the particular Emerald-Copper Dress, being a Citizen of the Nation which Kate originally is from, I have certain plans for it if the tailors here give a green signal.
Though I wanted to smack Colin's Head, he isn't exactly like Crueloise. There have been instances of men saying such things to throw off advances on women who mean something to them. Only that, such statements from a high-class boy has larger implications, and Colin wasn't exactly thinking it thoroughly. That is certainly no excuse, yet he isn't really a malicious person, and between Colin and Eloise, Colin is the one who is more deserving of a chance at redemption - with or without the presence of Lord Debling.
Someone finally put my dislike for Eloise into words. And I know it’s going to double now that she’s friends with Cressida.
Fr. I found some of her lines funny, but hated her as a character.
@@sita9071she just needs to mature
I totally agree! She’s not as smart as she thinks she is. She’s mean, impulsive, “not like other girls” and creates a lot of problems.
@@maciedixon3983 That is true, but that doesn't mean I can't dislike the character.
@@sita9071 agreed I am not saying you can’t cause I agree with you and don’t like her right now either. I’m just giving myself room to like her again when she does.
Theory time:
I think that a part of Colin’s storyline from the book, in where he is jealous about pen’s writing will be part of Eloise’s character instead of his. I think that eloise is going to realize she was jealous of pen and her writing, which might come to light when cressida tries to claim she is lady whisledown. I think when it’s time for the brigertons to learn pens identity, many will be rightly upset with pen for what she did to eloise, and I think/hope eloise will speak up for pen and accept part of the fault in the situation.
“Under what foreign sun did you get so… *sturdy*?” = Benedict being the entire fandom & lampshading the BLMGU Colin has undergone for this season 😂😂❤
GIRL I was ON THAT LIVE SHOWING of the trailer and the amount of times I've rewatched it in the past ~48 hours is, frankly, worrying 😶🌫
But the way I had the exact same experience watching it for the first time and watching alongside your reaction is very funny 😂
I agree with what you said about Eloise. A few comments though, the Marina situation, I feel is excusable, Marina was trying to trap any man into marriage with her so that she can pass off her pregnancy as legitimate. She didnt need Colin for that she could have married anyone, any guy but she decided on Colin even after Penelope asked her not to. She also manipulated Colin into an engagement, she tried to compromise herself with him in a room alone and then planned the elopement with him as well. And when Phillip turned up to ask her to marry him shw said she couldnt cause she doesnt love him? But she was ok doing that to Colin when it could save her from her situation. Also bearing in mind Penelope did talk to her and portia and Colin to try and stop it before ahe decided to use LW. As for Eloise she is not an idiot. She must know what can happen if she is caught with a man unchaperoned. Look what happened to Daphne and then Cressida spread rumours about her. So when Penelope told her to stay away from Theo and that the servants were gossiping she was trying to help her. She didnt write this in LW, which is huge gossip which was already spreading. Was it bad what she did? Yes but did it ultimately save her and thw family from the Queen? Yes it did. Her intentions were good and she hurt Eloise in the process but ultimately it was to save her. For Eloise to now go with Cressida is just unbelievable betrayal. She used Cressidas line about insipid wallflower and now shes even gone to be best buds with her. Sorry but after this any blame I did place on Penelope is now absolved. And from the article that has come out about eloise and cressida where it says cressida will be trying to take Penelope's suitors from her I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for Eloise and she will have to do something huge to atone for this.
PERIOD
Her denying Phillip was to show she learned her lesson. They all made mistakes Pen didn't care if she trapped any other guy just not hers 🤷🏾♀️
@@iamrachelrach Yes, but if a person who was your only friend during a bad time asked you to not pick the guy she liked to marry (especially when you aren’t in love with him), would you then say “Nope, sorry, he likes me not you and by the way you’re fantasizing if you think he’ll ever care for you”? It was a confidence that Pen betrayed, yes, but Marina didn’t show much care for Pen’s feelings either.
Quite frankly, Marina and Eloise are really just alike, only with different priorities and goals.
@@iamrachelrach if Penelope had not written what she did in LW about Marina, Colin would have eloped with her, Marina would have had her child and Colin would have been the laughingstock of the ton. Everyone would know he was not the father (remember servants were also gossiping about Marina as well, it's how Portia found out she was pregnant because her bedsheets had no blood and obviously the maids had told Portia this) and the bridgertons would have also been ruined by association. Colin would have been trapped in a loveless marriage raising a child that was not his own. In that time period this was a huge deal, heirs and your succession was important to the ton, and he couldn't have gotten a divorce without causing a huge scandal. So I can appreciate Marina was in a tight position but Colin wasn't some random nobody, he was Penelope's friend and she is loyal to the bridgerton family. She ruined her own family to save Colin from this marriage. How anyone can see that as selfish is beyond me.
I’m glad someone else feels like the promo clips were stilted I definitely was feeling that
As well as being the end of the Featherington’s on the show I’m thinking this also wraps up the Queen’s era and the season focusing around the London season as the next few books really don’t take place during that setting. Which really justifies the order of book change in my book.
This reaction is the one most like mine! I love it. Have watched a unhealthy amount of videos since and yours is the best! ❤
Eloise friendship should have been with Lady Crane. That would have made more sense where she would have gone to truly hurt Penn, plus it would have been a link to Sir Philip Crane. Also, can we talk about Collins’s side burns!
You have such an infectious energy and enthusiasm, I’m looking forward to your reactions almost as much as the season itself 💕
i am one of those rare people who really love the Featheringtons. as in, i love their storylines (esp. in season 2), theirs are the bits i ALWAYS pay attention to, etc. 🤷 i'm not saying they are great people (the way they treat Penelope defo sucks) but they are interesting and fun characters that i like and genuinely care about. like, defo some of my favourite parts of the show.
A possible plot line I’m excited for is Violet and her “garden” 😂 maybe setting up for a Violet and Edmond prequel 👀
I’ve been waiting for this, your my favourite reactor your enthusiasm match my energy for this show ❤😭
I am glad Penelope is getting other male attention this season. Lord Vegetarian(Debling )seems like a nice guy.
The pinning and yearning from these 4 episode trailer alone is killing me.
The change of power dynamic is so interesting this szn. Even though she has loved Colin for 12+ years now that she has put him off the pedestal of perfect man and being her blunt and true self, you can see the vulnerability of both of them.
I was really happy to see when he was hyping her at the ball ( You are Penelope Featherington don't you forget that).
Totally agree with you on Eloise point like gurl what you mean when did he care about Penelope. If you paid attention to your best friend you would have known they exchange letters and she has biggest crush on your brother.
I am SO excited. Penelope is such a complex character, and I am happy she looks to be the main center of Season 3.
EEEEEEKKKK!!! season 3 is gonna be amazing!!!! I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the books!!! I’m currently on Benedict’s book and he’s my favorite in the show.
I LIKE THE FEATHERINGTONS ! I have really grown to like them, in particular portia . She is a very interesting and realistic interpretation of a toxic mother who loves her children. Everything she does is for her family and while she is ego driven, it is to ensure the position of her family in the ton. She fights passionately whether it is right or wrong , but she does it for her family. This becomes evidently clear at the end of season 2 when Jack wants to run away with America with her and she wants to leave with him but she doesn’t for her girls.
I have been waiting to see your reaction to the trailer and have to say you did not disappoint, you had all the feels and now I'm hyped.
Someone mentioned that maybe Violet being with Francesca in the debut scene is symbolic that Violet is "re-entering" this season by getting a love interest...and I kind of love it. I mean I love ALL of it 😂💕
Two months ago I wasn’t interested in this show at all. Now I’ve been watching this trailer every half hour. I’m obsessed and don’t know why. Can’t wait for the season to begin.
i’ve seen some comments saying that the reason they’re making eloise even more of character to root against is so she can be at the bottom and then her story can be szn 4. which i hope isn’t the case because benedict deserves his season and it makes sense to end szn 3 with the ballroom and introduce sophie
I’m also very excited about the Mondrich’s and their storyline. They’ve been interesting in the past seasons but it seems like they’re getting more screen time this time around and I can’t wait.
Nicola Coughlan said that every season has a different energy, season one was Passion, Season two Longing, Season three it’s Romance, she said it’s very romantic, and she said season 3 has loads from the book in it, it’s in this interview ua-cam.com/video/hy_-yw71l94/v-deo.htmlsi=XkzyL5jJWWZ1BHyY , time stamp is 3:20 when she starts taking about season 3 😊
if you love gothic romances I recommend the TV show Interview with the vampire so so much. It is very dark and there's definitely a lot of trigger warnings but it has a second season coming out at the same time as bridgerton and it's literally phenomenal from the amazing acting performances to the incredibly engaging plot (I need jacob anderson to finally get his emmy so I'm spreading the word among my fellow period drama lovers)
I agree 100% about Eloise. I think she's insecure and her behavior is partly fueled by fear, but she still comes across as an asshole.
Your inital reaction was EVERYTHING ❤😂🎉
it is super frustrating seeing Eloise be the archetype of the spoiled feminist rich girl who only supports feminism if it is in line with her own passions (i.e. her looking down on women who aspire to be mothers and wives) but it also makes a lot of sense for her to be that way. She is so young and literally exists in a bubble of her own privilege within the ton itself so of course shes gonna be naive and immature, she has never been checked in her life. She has a right to be hurt and her immaturity is gonna show in her lashing out to hurt those who hurt her (not condoning it obvs). I love flawed characters even when they piss me off lol. That being said she better get the humbling of her life, and befriending your ex bffs bully out of spite is worthy of the bitch slap to end all bitch slaps.
“the fact that so many people love her almost makes me dislike her more” this is EXACTLY what happens to me with 90% of popular characters in media…will byers, pope heyward, rachel elizabeth dare, etc. if they’re the character that gets away with murder in the fandom’s eyes (especially juxtaposed with a character who gets an unreasonable amount of hate for “wronging” them when the popular character has also wronged the less popular character) then i will INSTANTLY dislike them and become the defender of the less popular character. it’s why my ride or die characters are kiara carrera, annabeth chase, mike wheeler, colin bridgerton, and penelope featherington (pen’s an interesting one bc i will defend her with my life from the eloise stans but best believe i’ll be calling her out when the colin antis roll around). it’s so interesting to hear someone else put a similar feeling into words!
Why is Violet so suprised at her son asking if you can love can follow frienship? You can enjoy spending time with a person and have feelings for them, what's so unbelievable?
(or if they were less cowards, they'd dissect Violet's supposed perfect love story that has made her an inadequate mother: she didn't warn Daphne at all about the basic concept of marriage and reproduction, leaving her vulnerable, and she let Anthony shoulder immense responsibility in the absense of his father. That would be a daring approach)
Oh man, I would LOVE a if they delved into that with Violet, but I agree, I don’t think the show would be daring enough to do that
Analyzing the past through the lens of the present is, unfortunately, a habit of modern minds.
Violet is not an inadequate mother, there is no such thing. There is no perfect mother, but she certanly works hard for it and own when she makes mistakes. Her love story was so perfect that if anything made her too trusting. Of course she didn't "warn" Daphne "properly", which mother of the 1800 would? (in the book even Kate's stepmom didn't wanted to talk about it either, Kate says it was ok, she already knew by herself and didn't need an explanation). Mothers don't do it today, they let kids learn from school or internet. But when Violet got married, she had such a good husband, he guide her every step of the way, he told her everything she needed to know, he made her fell safe. Daphne had told her she and the duke were "madly in love", so in love they couldn't wait the traditional 1 month engagement, what she understood was that the duke was so in love with Daphne, he would tell her everything and respect all the way the same way her husband did to her. Daphne never told her otherwise untill their confrontation scene when Violet realised she made a mistake.
Also for Anthony, yes, wasn't fair that he took everything on his shoulders but, again, it's the 1800, the man of the house is the older brother after the father passed, things like taking care of the money, the house or the land would be thrown at him with or without Violet cause those are legal things, she would have no control over due to costume and law. Other things like the emotional support and keeping the family together were the ones she should be responsible for, but she wasn't unfortunatly, not because of negligence, but because the man she loved, her soulmate had just died in front of her, when she was freaking pregnant, she wanted to die too. And when she realised how hard it was on Anthony that she led her grief take over her, she went back and talked him through it, to help him cope.
She is not perfect, but she is such a good mother, yes. She cares, she does her best to understand and make up for her mistakes, she listens. Only people who don't know how priviledged they are for having such good mom would want to paint her in some sort of bad light. I'm sure if Penelope could choose between a mother that treats her like shit, like her own does, and Violet who puts such effort in making her kids happy, she would pic Violet in a heartbeat.
@@Ana_Paula.Frasson Lots of Inadequate Mothers exist. They're called Narcissists. However, as you said, Violet is a loving Mother.
Nobody:
Full of lit: “I just love hand stuff, love it”
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AHHHH
Absolutely loved your reactions!!!
Lolest! You gasped so much in your first reaction I was afraid you would run out of air🤣🤣🥰
I was waiting for your reaction and it didn’t disappoint. I have to say that your reviews have become part of my Bridgerton experience haha. I’m so tired of the Eloise trope - I have decided to call it like that - of I’m above of it all, not like the others but I very much using my privilege for myself like everyone else. I just hope her season something changes because if not, it’s going to be excruciating 😣. Penélope and Colin look absolutely stunning. Part of me always wishes for Penelope going for other guy, but hey we know this Bridgerton… Francesca looks gorgeous, that is the season I’m particularly looking forward.
LOVED your review! You and I seeing eye to eye on most points.
I agreed with and enjoyed you comments regarding Eloise. Spot on, when i saw her with Cressida, i rolled my eyes so hard. Did she forget that she said she "would rather die" before ever be friends with her. Im mean if shes going to say something like that she needs to own it and stand on it.
Your reaction is me, I am you, we are the same. I am so FRICKING READY FOR THIS!
Ok here's my Eloise theory! I think we're gonna see her have a character arch before her season, so I haven't given up hope yet for Eloise I think she can be redeemed!
Omg i LOVE your energyyy
As much as Eloise knew Pen she had no idea the precariousness of her situation. Spinster Eloise would be an adored Aunty in a beloved family. Pen was looking multiple times at destitution at worst and disdained 3rd wheel at best FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! She was not perfect at all but she is living in a hard reality Eloise is inside a delusion. She can be self righteous because to this point her decisions have always been cut and dry right and wrong but that’s not real life.
Omggg I ran to the video….. very much agree on Eloise she need an overhaul this season to redeem her
I think Violet will begin to feel love for another man, at her own surprise, and this will bother Francesca. That’s why she’s looking at her parents’ painting: she cannot understand why her mother is taking interest in another man.
Also: wtf Eloise and Cressida?!?!
And chef kiss to everything about Colin and Pen. Pen is simply gorgeous, everytime! Specially in that emerald dress! Stunning! You go girl! Make Colin drools!!!
