Vedo che il ragazzo è già nel tuo cuore LOL
@ per chi ha apprezzato Quenn’s Gambit, vi posto questo commento preso pari pari da reddit. È la cosa più intelligente che ho letto a riguardo.
“ The show was great at dodging lazy stock characters and plot cliches. Secretly evil headmistress? Nope, just kinda highly strung, but nice enough. Misunderstood creep janitor who becomes an adoptive father figure? Nope, just a positive influence of teaches her a game and takes an interest. Ok, but the orphanage was a traumatic place? Nope, it was alright, not great but pretty decent. Something sus up with the smooth talking orderly in the pharmacy? Nope, just a bit of a character. Major consequences for stealing pills and overdosing? Nope, she got immediate medical attention and a few weeks of detention. Toxic nerdbros try to bully her out of the sport but she defeats them with girlpower? Nope, some players are better sports than others, but on the whole they just love the game. She becomes a inspirational crusader for downtrodden women in the 60s? Nope, people look up to her, but she's still an awkward chess player. Wrecks her life on booze and pills burning out dramatically? Nope, periodically struggles with substance abuse, sometimes reining it in, sometimes relapsing. Gets stuck in a spiral of toxic sex and/or abusive relationships? Nope, sometimes underwhelming, sometimes nice. Evil communist russians cheating or plotting? Nope, just enthusiastic chess players. Abusive adoptive father? Nope, just a bit of jerk and a loser. Negligent drunk adoptive mother? Nope, supportive but struggling with her own issues. Secret to becoming chess champion realised in the eleventh hour by an emotional new perspective on a childhood trauma? Nope, she wins by losing a few times, reviewing those losses, studying her opponents game, practicing and reading, and a circle of supportive chess friends.
I could go on. Almost every plot point and character specifically swerves away from narrative shorthand “
