Lazarus’ look is so anime-villain to me I wanna see him running an electric-themed gym in an episode of Pokémon

Please let the record show that I meant to vote "To Bee" for Lazarus but accidentally hit the "Not to Bee" button by mistake.

I feel there is a diverging timeline where the Marvel cinematic universe failed to take off, and instead the dominating cinematic universe was an auteur driven adaptation of the Arthurian Saga. If Eiko Ishioka was still alive, I bet we could've gotten a fascinating King Arthur adaptation directed by Tarsem Singh.

I have paragraphs worth of thoughts on the costumes in Dune, one of which is that Lady Jessica's golden gown is by far the best bit of costuming in both Villeneuve films. This is reaffirmed by your fantastic analysis of it ("rippling fabric reminiscent of the rippling sand that will shape her destiny on Arrakis" is such a great line!) but I also believe the overall costuming in those films to be completely uninspired. The stillsuits in particular are atrocious.

Oh man. Lot of good stuff here. Salivating at this idea "King Arthur adaptation directed by Tarsem Singh" especially if it was another collaboration w/ Lee Pace.

Would love to read your thoughts on the Dune wardrobe. I like the stillsuits! I do wonder if they should feel a little more ... obtrusive ....

I love yellow so just appreciate the yellow love. I fully didn't register how great the cardigan is in Talk to Me (I loved it but also have no desire to see it again).

And I have been obsessed with the yellow cape from the Green Knight since I first saw it. But I love a cape
