00:45 Mary is so iconic that she called Anne Boleyn a "bitch." This is so Mary for many reasons. Anne destroyed her family and called her a "bastard" and if I were Mary I would say the same for some reason because I feel sorry for her mom dying separated from her and not being a more loved princess.
She was often painted in portraits as a brunette with dark eyes, but we have sources that her hair was red and her eyes were light or dark blue. I don't know why they painted her like that, it's quite unclear.
0:32 If you're just wondering why this word is found over the portrait of Anne Boleyn, that's what Mary called her because she was angry with Anne for destroying her family. Additionally, Anne Boleyn called Mary a bastard. But, just to defend Mary, Anne started it because she felt that, according to Henry, Mary was no longer counted as a daughter or as an heir, but the daughter of Catherine of Aragon, after the annulment of the marriage only the widow of Arthur and the princess of Castile, Mary would practically be a child born out of wedlock, but that's not true because Mary was still blue-blooded and his daughter, only he didn't recognize her anymore.
Watchmen in front of the Tower: Is this a musical? Your Majesty, why on earth is everyone singing? Mary I: EDWARD CALLED ME A VILLAIN! Edward: I told you what you're becoming, chill! Tower Guardians: But, Queen... Edward is dead. Aren't you a little de-lu-le-lu? Mary: What does that mean? Second Tower Guard: If you tell, you'll be burned... Mary: What are you whispering? Never mind, what does de-lu-le-lu mean? Tower Keepers: An exceptional singer? Mary: Wonderful! Are you sure it's not something else? Them:(sweating)N-no...? Mary: (leaves) Second Tower Guard: Did you fall from Mars? The other day I heard her talking to a picture of her late mother... and crying. First Guard: Did you comfort her? Second guard: No, she's mad like a lynx... I tried to calm her down, she hissed at me and she had... she had... First Guard: What? Second guard:...CANDLE! First guard: When did you see her cry? Second guard: It was late at night...the room was darkened and I heard sobs and saw the queen and the illuminated portrait of Catherine of Aragon. First Guard: Oh, maybe it was just dark and she needed a candle? Second guard: You don't know her. Dude, how long have you been working here? First Guard: For two weeks now. Second Guard: Makes sense! First Guard: What's the point? Second guard: You don't know what she's capable of when she has fire at hand... and I'm a Protestant. First guard: I'm Catholic. Second Guard: Lucky...you're saved from death. First Guard: What kind of death? Second Guard: You're certainly not English either, are you? First: Half English, half French. Second Guard: She burns Protestants, it's her favorite pastime. First Guard: Ahahaaha...like her dad's pastime was swapping wives. Mary: WHO MENTIONED MY FATHER?! Second Guard: You're in danger...you're dead...you're done. Mary: Are you Protestant, child? First guard: No. I'm Catholic. Mary: Good, then you didn't get hurt. If I killed you, it would be a sin.
I like the last one the most because it's the most accurate and makes the hair look beautiful. Did I ever mention that I wanted to be a ginger like Elizabeth, Mary, Henry and Catherine of Aragon? I love them all (except Henry, I hope you're burning in hell, Henry) and ginger is a wonderful hair color, but it's rare, that's why it's wonderful. Yes, I'm literally going to dye my hair that color once.
He was 15 when he died from a disease. I think he died of depression, anger, betrayal and hate. He probably could have beat the disease but he probably had no will to live.
In the scene when Mary burns the portrait, Henry VIII's wives are like: Catherine of Aragon: Burn it. Well done, baby! Congratulations. It's mom's daughter! Woohoo! Anne Boleyn: Burn him, when he took my head off, it's great that he gets some punishment too. Jane Seymour: Cath of Aragon... your daughter is crazy. Mary! Don't be violent! It's your dad! Mary: He's a fool who ruined my life. Jane Seymour: But it's still violent. Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself. You don't want someone to burn you! Mary: The words he said to me: Leave me, you monster, go, you are not my daughter, those words hurt more than the fire that licks your body. Jane Seymour: OK, now I'm a little sorry. Anne of Cleves: Genau, Mädchen! Verbrenne das Porträt dieses Narren! Juhu! So brauchen Sie es, Heinrich VIII. Everyone except Anne of Cleves: What did she say?! K. Howard: That, honey, heart, love! I love you! Burn him, don't spare him at all! I hope this is how he is in hell. Catherine Parr: Oh, poor portrait! Everyone except her: ARE YOU CRAZY?! Catherine Parr: You know the song: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. I survived. I practically lost nothing, so I have no reason to be angry and be happy when they burn it.
I feel like Mary is more Hamilton-like (Scottish, principled, stubborn, impulsive, gets killed) while Elizabeth is more like Burr (pragmatic, changes with the wind, self-controlled, a survivor). Cool concept, though.
WE ARE BEING FED FOR GEN 2 FOLKS! This is my first time hearing this song in full and dang it is fire! I look forward to see how this all unfolds in Gen 2! But WHERE IS MERCURY? Edit: Oh wait Mercury is in Adrian’s lap. But, WHY DOES ISSAC HAVE THE COR BROTHERS IN PRISON? It’s because of Rune isn’t it? Rune told him to.
I feel like it's been forever since I've watched one of your videos (and it probably has been)! Your animatics are just as excellent as I remember! 💚💙💚💙
These poor Tudors. Left with daddy issues and responsibilities that shouldn’t be pushed on him, no mother all of his life, and no one to really trust. Left with daddy issues, pressure, severe depression, etc to be called “Bloody”. Her father did more. Left with daddy issues, no mother at the age of 2 and 8 months (almost 3), used, pressured. I want to give them all hugs. They deserve better, but they had eachother. (When they weren’t shitheads to eachother-)
