Queen Charlotte Opinion-

I was actually happy that Queen Charlotte used makeup on the actor that plays lord Danbury to make him unattractive. I know they got criticism for it, but I think of it like a safety measure. He plays an unlikeable character, and the Bridgerton audience is VICIOUS and shallow about the physical appearance of characters they don’t like, which is often the actual appearance of the actor. And maybe it’s mostly in the petty ship war side of the fandom, but there’s this “well im only calling the character ugly” attitude but like…that character shares a face with the person who plays them. By using prosthetics/makeup, they create a level of separation between the character and the actor, because the actor is a good looking guy.

He’s also not the only dark skinned Black man in the series- Will Mondrich has been hot since season one (RIP shirtless boxing scenes) and Marcus Anderson has been brought on as a hot love interest for Violet. It’s just this one man, and it’s only for a character they knew would attract hate.

✨CONGRATS BRIDGERTON SEASON 3!!!✨

This is the final count for the show, so it’s officially at #6 on the Netflix most popular chart at 106 million views! It should be a while before S3 is knocked off the list. Hope this means more Bridgerton in the future with an announcement for renewing for seasons 5 & 6.

Polin’s season was so loved! Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan should be proud of the work they did to lead Bridgerton and reintroduce the show to new audiences and fans. They can walk into the beginning of filming for the next season with their heads held high!

I hope Benophie fans get a book accurate season. All I heard from them for years was that their negativity came from the show runner not being faithful to the books and changing things. Well I hope they get exactly the true adaptation they want.

And frankly Benedict hasn’t had any conflict with anyone else for 3 seasons. Just floating through. It would be nice to actually get to see him presented as having negative traits for once, add some dimension to his character. If they stole so much from Colin already, remember that Colin was the favorite fun loving brother in other books, but his own book revealed he has bad moods and isn’t always positive and charming all the time. Benedict can have that too.

TW: Mentions of blackmail, harassment and threats of rape.

They've already officially started S4 pre-promo and S4 being promoted by the showrunner as a more faithful adaptation of it's book than the other three seasons should be deeply worrying.

We are talking about a book which includes the male lead blackmailing, harassing and threatening to r*pe the female lead if she changes her mind about having sex with him? Twice?

A book that was actually one of the worst reviewed and Benedict one of the most hated for years until the show came out, where in my opinion the ship gained fans mostly because Luke T is attractive.

They literally had to throw Book Benedict out of a window and erase him entirely from the show. He was retconned entirely. They admitted to taking Book Colin and sticking Benedict's name onto him, only allowing him to keep his love of art.

Like, that's not the Benedict the book fans know - so how are they going to keep it faithful when Benedict is not Benedict? When it would be so out of character for him to not only blackmail but harass and threaten a woman with r*pe?

I can't see the show getting me to even remotely like Benophie if they keep any of this for the show.

Something I didn’t think I’d like this much is how the Bridgerton glowup in season 3 is shown as an active choice by both leading characters. When they show off Anthony’s new look in s2 it’s something passive, like the producers are telling the audience “remember that guy from s1? Well now we’re showing you how hot he can really get!!!”. Colin and Penelope though? They both individually made the choice to try and change themselves physically and mentally to commit to getting hoes. Which power to them I guess!!! I mean, it failed (and they still just ended up being hot losers who would actually jump from the nearest tall building if they had to entertain the idea of being with anyone else except for each other) but hey they tried!!! bless their hearts ❤️❤️❤️
