The Bridgerton Cast VS REAL Bridgerton Characters 

Totally agree with you. The show runner Jess Brownell said she changed it because she wanted to see herself reflected on screen. 🙄🙄

@@happydaze7976 the book author shouldn't have agreed for this, honestly. There couldn't be a happy end to such a story in the Regency era, and even in modern times the part of the love triangle that starts right after the bride meets the groom's sibling is complicated enough to most probably not end well. And all Bridgertons have happy ends, so it means they will have to alter the story more and more until they fake the happy end. While the only way out Francesca would have in real life in our times,. for example, would be to delay or cancel the marriage and immediately to go to therapy, and then find someone else to make a couple with, bc it's 100% unethical to marry either the groom you've just emotionally cheated on or their sibling.

I agree 100 percent, I have no problem changing things, I'm all for Queer Joy, HOWEVER they literally like you said took MICHAEL away, not just that when they finally do get together, what children are they having now ? Cuz I don't see that happening...back then adoptions to same sex couples weren't a thing. So yep they messed a LOT up!

Everything in S3 was bad and there was no good story. The season needs to be condemned and redone. Colin and Penelope may look like they’re book counter parts with coloring differences. But their characterization was horrendous. The previous showrunner didn’t adapt the story. Exactly like the books, but he definitely kept the integrity of the characters matched the vibe of the story. Anthony was very much like “ I’ll get you my pretty and your little dog too.” And the previous showrunner kept that that energy. Simon and Daphne are Fire 🔥 and water 💧 Both in their temperament and personality. He also kept that vibe. FIRE 🔥 & WATER💧 You were RED♥️➕And you liked me because I was Blue🩵= You touched me and suddenly. I was a LILAC 💜sky. After Daphne got married, her new color became lilac. I don’t know who Colin and Penelope are in this parody fanfiction that (Jess) wrote. She destroyed everything special about them. And took away everything unique. She actively gave Penelope‘s traumatized victim story to Cressida the very person who in the books caused so much of her trauma and victimization. She took from Penelope and gave to Cressida for what reason ? Cressida is to Penelope what Burbrook was to Daphne an antagonist. Her only place in the story should’ve been her antagonizing the main characters that’s it. We didn’t need all this extra. She gave Cressida more character development than Colin and he is the Bridgerton. The story is supposed to be about. She poured money into building her a whole ass set so we could see where she lives. Instead of doing Polin flashbacks. And for what reason ? Victimizing Cressida only makes our main characters look like assholes, while taken away screen time for no reason because the story went nowhere. She took her exit out of the story like everybody else who was only there to antagonize the main character, And contribute to the main character story like Burbrook, Edwina, etc. If they wanted a complex nuance character, you had WHISTLEDOWN 🪶🤬 She closed and grossly simplified, Whistledown. To nothing. Whistledown 🪶 is not a goddamn HOBBY. She’s freedom she’s autonomy. She’s Penelope‘s livelihood. Whistledown was created out of hopelessness, created to have choices. It’s survival. The contradiction on top of the contradiction. (Jess) did to Whistletown 📜 . Whistledown is a character in of itself and should’ve been treated as such. Season 3 spent A LOT of time telling us that Lady Whistledown was a mistake and it was actively harmful and it ruined lives. And yeah, if you just watch Season 3, that sounds pretty damning and like it would be best for everyone that Lady Whistledown gets buried (or leashed by Queen Charlotte, which is what actually happens and I cannot TELL you how mad I was about that). The interesting tension with Whistledown was when Pen 🦢was directly challenging the Queen. 👸🏽 She was coming for the person who set the social norms and managed social attitudes in her level of society. That's FASCINATING, and Pen challenging the literal power that was directly and indirectly responsible for everyone being shitty to her and her family for two straight seasons is ENTIRELY valid and interesting. 🤔 And in 2022 interview (Chris) previous show runner. Said that Penelope‘s relationship with Queen Charlotte is interesting. 🧐 because Penelope sees her as the embodiment. Of everything wrong with society. Penelope in her work as Whistledown we see that she doesn’t really think very highly of the Queen👸🏽, and probably extension the Royal 🤴🏻 family. She sees them as oppressors. It does seem to indicate that Penelope sees the Queen🦚as the antagonist. A woman who pins women against each other for the amusement of Men. A woman fully indoctrinated into holding women prisoner. To the male established social structure. Not to mention the 2 times Penelope was presented in front of the Queen👸🏽the distain by the Queen👸🏽is quite evident. The queens open distain gives everybody else permission to treat Penelope like she’s lesser than. Like she’s just some fat ugly invalid. That isn’t even worth consideration. Hence, why she never has anything nice to say about her. But then Season 3 happened. Season 3 yelled with its whole chest that Penelope was bad and wrong and should be ashamed for saying mean things about people, and tweaked Queen Charlotte's brain so that that's what she cared about too, instead of caring that her authority was being publicly challenged. Like...I was here for seasons 1 and 2. Pen was deeply human in her motivations and deeply complex in what she did and did not publish. And season 3 flattened all of that to go *"BE ASHAMED BECAUSE YOU SAID MEAN THINGS."* Grossly simplifying, Penelope’s character is a huge injustice to her. I believe her writing is needed for her society to evolve. There Stagnant. A lot of artists were never appreciated in their time.🕰️ but if it wasn’t for them, the world would still be in the dark ages, and the great depression with still loom over us all. She’s not some maniacal monster 😈twiddling her thumb in a corner. Plotting how to take people down. It’s a commentary on the society that they are living in and the hypocrisy of the society they live in and showing that nobody is perfect💝. And it’s ridiculous all the expectations everybody’s expected to live up to and she’s proven more than once you can’t actually be ruined if you’re RICH💰 and BEAUTIFUL 💐 📜Whistledown🪶 is designed to sell 💰itself. It is guaranteed income. It plays on a psyche of the TON. The Mirror 🪞 symbol has many significance to Penelope. Her growing into her confidence, but most importantly, her work as Whistleddown, 🪶which is a direct Mirror 🪞 Reflection of society. I am always furious when nuance gets flattened, and this is a particularly egregious example of that. It tells us to think something that directly contradicts what the first two seasons showed us (which is shitty writing on two levels). What are the crimes is she actually committing telling over privileged narcissistic rich people that they’re not perfect. 🤩Because they’re fragile egos can’t take a little bit of criticism. Honestly they seriously need to get over themselves because you can’t be lovely ☺️ and flawless all the time. It’s toxic and it’s unrealistic and Penelope is just holding A mirror 🪞 to that. What are her other crimes not liking somebody’s dress 👗 that they’re only ever going to wear once ☝️ and never wear again OK 👌. Yeah she’s straight up evil 👿 Penelope is merely recapping, the Grammys the Oscars & the Emmys. All the events that happened ! what took place who was wearing what ! Who’s was best dressed, whose dress she didn’t like & most of those roast are usually directed to herself. “Overripe, citrus fruit “ 🍋 she called her self These out of touch aristocrats and members of the hierarchy are constantly overreacting and throwing hysteria over absolutely nothing. They are inheritors of generational wealth who’s only purpose is to secure it through arrange marriages and keep repeating the cycle, nothing lady Whistleddown🪶writes is gonna change that, what’s going to happen to them they ’re literally the ruling class so what they have a little scandal it will pass. In the wise words from our favorite drug 💊 dealer with a heart ♥️ of gold 🥇 -Fezco from (euphoria)- "Sometimes, people need to get their feelings hurt." and should check their privilege I can think of no other reason (Jess) would do this other than she hates Penelope and she hates Colin and she has no idea why they should be together. Because she didn’t just slap 👋 us in the face, she spat at us and kicked us. In a ditch. 🕳️ There’s clear favoritism I can see that Francesca is her favorite. And that’s fine a writer ✍🏻 can have their favorite but you don’t assassinate the other characters. She is projecting herself into Francesca. She took away Francesca sly wit. Her arctic fox like energy. Which I don’t think is that bad of a crime as far as characterization go, it’s not her season she can still grow into her personality. she kept her introverted shyness. And her like for isolation. But she’s definitely projecting herself into Francesca. She wants Francesca to have all of her quirks. And identify how she identify sexually. Before I saw the S3, I thought the only unforgivable offense was them making Colin a disgusting 🤮 Rake. But i was wrong 😑 the whole thing needs to be condemned.

@@Delfinalove82 My wild guess is that Queen Charlotte will allow same sex marriages, being touched with Francesca's and Michaela's future story. Sounds like a sugary fairy tale, but it feels so fake to me, plus the original book story simply gets dumped into the trash bin this way. The show goes to far from the books then. They will surely lose many fans that way.

But this is supposed to be a fantasy in a way, and i love seeing people of all races in the same levels in society. Why don't you just take the series as is and appreciate the fact that it IS diverse despite it not being a 100% accurate to the regency era. If it was, there will be a lack of diverse characters anyway.

@@Ughotay The problem is that the books aren't diverse either and were not supposed to portray this fantasy

Aw so happy you enjoyed ❤️

Not everyone was white in regency England. Die mad about it. 😂😂😂😂

@@katherinejordan8018 Well look at My Lady Jane they turned king Edward of England in a black so excuse me for not agreeing with your nonsense argument. Is quit clear they are obsessed to make every royalty black when in truth they were white. This all whitewash is disrespectful

@@katherinejordan8018 In the entire England no. But in the ton yes. Which is of no importance because it is not a documentary but a fiction and the cast is beautifull, diversity included.

Um, the books are works of fiction, not historical textbooks, so there isn’t any “changing of history” occurring if the show runners want to change the appearance/ethnicity of a character. They simply want to have a diverse cast in a FANTASY tv show, which they can do if they want to, because again, both the show and books are works of FICTION. Creative liberties can be taken in any fictional book/movie/tv show, so if you’re looking for historical accuracy, fictional works of art probably aren’t for you.

There were 20,000 POC living in the UK in Regency times.

England banned slavery in 1807. So no, the ton wasnt full of slaves. Put your efforts to help the current slavery problem in Africa rather than worrying so much about history and a stupid tv show.

There were 20,000 POC living in the UK during Regency times.

Right, i think i forgot that for some ppl poc=slaves 😂
