Lemon And Tangerine - Tumblr Posts
What if...
I finally watched Bullet Train despite my immense disliking of Brad Pitt and safe to say I absolutely loved the movie. Lemon and Tangerine absolutely stole the show with their Thomas the Tank Train Engine related bickering. I was also watching John Wick and thought:
What if Bullet Train and the John Wick series was in the same universe? What if John Wick was on the actual bullet train?
Everyone would probably be dead, and MAYBE he would have seen straight through the Prince's manipulations on the train.
I can just imagine how the interactions between the twins and John would go with him being confused as to why Lemon keeps classifying people as trains.
I see him getting along with Ladybug with the man's attempts to be a pacifist, but ultimately fails by killing people on 'accident'. I saw a post and I think it's because he is extremely well trained and experienced that he was sort of giving them a 'do you really want to fight me?' but that is another talk for another time.
I am sure that the Elder and John would get along very well, the Elder would more than likely give John the best advice. That would extend to Yuichi who did everything to protect his son Wataru while being blackmailed while John would do anything for his dog (and preserving Helen's memory)
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
POSSIBLE LEMON AND TANGERINE NAMES/BACKSTORY
OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL HAPPY EID MUBARAK TO MY FELLOW MUSLIMS AND i have just watched bullet train like a few days ago and it ICKS me that i do not have lemon or tangerine's NAMES and their BACKSTORY, so i was thinking i would share my headcanon for how they became brothers and their names and such. first,, their backstory.
OKAY, so i would like to think that they were somewhat FOSTER KIDS, and they had the same foster parents because THAT WOULD BE SO SAD AND CUTE AND I JUST LOVE IT. then they became friends/brothers and grew up to become assassins. the assassins part i don't really have any ideas for, but i would love to hear some thoughts!!! second,, their names.
HOLY HELL, I READ SOMETHING ON REDDIT THAT WHAT IF LEMON WAS OBSESSED WITH THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE BECAUSE TAN WAS NAMED THOMAS AND LEMON JUST LIKED TO ANNOY HIM WITH IT, AND I THINK THAT IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE LIKE HANDS DOWN, TANGERINE IS NOW THOMAS TO ME. for lemon, i would like to think he was a percy(let's be real he does look like a percy). however, if i were to not go off on thomas the tank engine, i would say tangerine looks like a solid james and lemon looks like a peter.
PLEASE TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS I NEED IT
I felt that review on so many levels, the accuracy of it all 😔😔😔😔😔
stuff i liked about bullet train (2022)
a semi-exhaustive list of my thoughts when watching the movie in the theater and proceeding to freak out about it for more than a week straight
spoilers under the cut!
staying alive in multiple languages really scratches the itch in my brain
its so funky i cant stop thinking about it
THE TITLE CARD WAS SO PRETTY
AND THE CHARACTER INTRODUCTION SCREENCAPS WERE BEAUTIFUL IT LOOKED JUST LIKE A GAME
idk why but brad pitt actually looks like a ladybug in the movie
i cant place it but its just there in my mind
Bucket Hat Brad TM
the glasses were so cute
THE CITY WAS SO GOOD DAMN
THE NEON LIGHTS REFLECTING OFF THE RAIN PUDDLES WAS SO– *SCREAMS*
the truck that almost ran over ladybug in the first part was the same truck that lemon hit the prince with
from the moment i saw tangerine i knew everyone would be thirsting over him
i was right
BUT WHY DID HE LOOK LIKE A MONKEY WITH THAT BEARD THAT BOTHERS ME TO THIS DAY
the entire "17 kills" montage was so funky and fun i enjoyed every single second of it

@fatconut said they looked like a couple of youtubers streaming in this gif and i can't get it out of my head this is your fault
i saw on imdb beforehand that logan lerman was there and I MISSED THE FACT THAT LEMON PUT A PERCY STICKER ON HIS FOREHEAD
THAT WAS SO FUNNY
BUT AS A PJO FAN I WAS MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT NOTICING IT AGH
lemon constantly infodumping and ranting about thomas the tank engine was something i related to on a spiritual level
that man is REALLY OBSESSED and i am here for it.
WHY IS THE PRINCE SO PRETTY LIKE I WAS SCREAMING AT HOW GOOD LOOKING SHE WAS
the schoolgirl outfit threw me off but she's committed to the aesthetic and i applaud her for that
the entire white death scene with him doing the revolver thing was so damn cool like oh my god
paired with the slo mo
im screaming
SO
CHANNING TATUM WAS RIGHT
ATJ LOOKED SO SO GOOD IN THIS MOVIE
like the scene where he gets off the train to confront the gang members as proof
and the camera was slowly spinning around
AND THE SLO MO??
i'm aroace but DAMN HE LOOKS SO FINE
it's so bonkers that everyone
and i mean EVERYONE
on the train is so good looking
like the wolf??? his outfit is so well planned
he has such a good sense of fashion
AND THE SCENE WHERE LADYBUG USES THE BRIEFCASE TO DEFLECT HIS ATTACKS

THE CHOREOGRAPHY WAS SO GOOD IN THIS MOVIE IT REALLY BLEW ME AWAY
on another hand, ladybug leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake
and they were all mostly unintentional this is so funny to me
like imagine him going for a nice retreat in like hawaii or somewhere
and someone rats him out and it turns out to be one of the wolf's gang members or something
and then a coconut or pineapple just falls from above them and. clunks the bad guy in the head
it's not even intentional lmao
ladybug just wants to enjoy his life
he's so pissed over carver's stomach thing
let this man rest
tangerine definitely has anger issues
when ladybug kicked him off the train
"that door is closing" THE PUN
he's so committed and so pissed off at bucket hat brad
he literally screamed when he chased the train
AND THAT MAN HAD THE BALLS TO JUMP ON IT
no you don't understand he keeps surprising me every single time
my dad was sitting beside me in the cinema and he audibly exclaimed when tangerine cracked the window in like only 4 punches
that man is STRONG strong
THE FIJI WATER BOTTLE LMAO
WHEN LEMON WAS INTERROGATING THE PRINCE HE KEPT DRINKING THE SPIKED WATER
I WAS INTERNALLY YELLING FOR HIM TO STOP
the ladybug fight with the hornet was so fun
and it was kind of ridiculous how she died
but ladybug literally said "i got infected so you have to be infected too"
"i'm mansplaining again, sorry"
he knows his mistakes
ALSO. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS SUPER CREATIVE HERE
LIKE
OKAY
THEY'RE NOT REVOLUTIONARY BUT ITS RARE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT FUN THESE DAYS
it's so funny to me how the elder uses his cane to pick up the briefcase and hand it to ladybug
either his knees and back are too weak since he's old (but he literally fought the white death with a sword so that's an unlikely reason)
or he's just into the wise old man aesthetic
i don't know
when the white death and his henchmen were waiting for the train at kyoto
the scene was so ominous oh my god
the fog
the music
the slow panning
it's such a strong contrast from the other stations
like the other stations were a bit plain and busy like a normal japanese subway
but the one in kyoto was entirely filled with fog and mist and you can't really see the ground and the land behind the white death
it was crazy
• RYAN REYNOLDS
all the plot points slot together so well
agatha christie would've loved this
the white death's wife was fridged in the most insane way possible
and her husband is super delusional
like dude
your wife died because of ryan reynolds and now you've hired multiple assassins to kill each other on a fast-moving bullet train
hollywood should really hire him to write their movies
this guy has some really good ideas
there's a snake in the toilet
THE FINAL FIGHT WAS SO INSANE
THE ELDER'S SWORD WAS SO SHARP IT LITERALLY CUT THROUGH THE SEATS AUGHDJGH
HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO BLASTING THROUGH THE CINEMA SPEAKERS AT FULL VOLUME REALLY SOLD IT
IT WAS SO GOOD I REALLY WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN
I WAS SUPER HYPED
AND THE PART WHERE THE TRAIN HURTLES OUT OF CONTROL AND EVERYTHING WAS FLYING
YOU CAN TELL THEY SPENT SO MUCH TIME WITH THE CGI BECAUSE IT LOOKED SO GOOD
I WAS SUPER IMPRESSED BY THE FIGHT SCENES DAMN
unfortunately they've caused thousand of dollars yen in property damage
like honestly
who would pay for all this
(the elder, probably)
and then the white death was giving his entire speech
with the prince's gun
and i was like
OHOHOHO GO FASTER
TRY TO SHOOT LADYBUG
I DARE YOU
it was so satisfying when it backfired because he deserves it
BUT A CHUNK OF HIS HEAD LITERALLY GOT BLOWN OFF AND I WAS LIKE WOAH
THE LEMON/TANGERINGE REVENGE SCENE WAS SO SYMBOLIC BUT AT THE SAME TIME SO FUNNY
LIKE IMAGINE RUNNING OVER A GIRL WITH A MACHINE GUN WITH AN ORANGE TRUCK
Conclusion: i love this movie way too much and i don't plan on stopping soon
That one scene from Home Alone two but I switched Harry and Marv for Tangerine and lemon
Tangerine: "Where to next?"
Lemon: Well, your promised me you'd take me to the central park zoo.
