Bridgerton Critical - Blog Posts

Oh Eloise you are willing to change the world ? But you couldn't help a girl out of a wedding with an old man ?

This writing is inconsistent and bad

“Pen I'm so grateful for what you have done for me”

And what exactly did Penelope do for Eloise ?!? Talk shit about her before even thinking about telling it to her ?!? Wtf is this writing

My thoughts on Michaela

Ok first : disclaimer, I have read the book, ok angry Michael fan ? I have read the book, I read all of them.

You can guess where my thought is going : it definitely could work.

There's just something about Francesca being startled by Michaela but quickly stuffing those feelings down. She's a married woman and she DOES love John, in some way.

And then when she need Michaela the most, she vanished. (And maybe married to have a baby with some lord for the succession ?... To think about)

Then she comes back and Francesca starts to feel things but no she can't. It's John's cousin for heaven's sake she's betraying John again, she tried to have a child with him !!!She wants children, you need a man for children.

And it's wrong she's a woman, a lady. She always followed societal rules she does NOT like women. She is different enough, she doesn't need something else.

Then there's Michaela. She always liked Francesca, from the moment she saw her.

But it's impossible, she's John's wife, her almost brother's wife.

Francesca is a good woman she likes following the rules, she wants children, she's a perfect lady. No way she is like Michaela, attracted to girls.

And getting with her isn't just betraying John, it's betraying Francesca. She's already cast away from society, she wants children and she deserves it. John would want her happy and no way is Michaela going to make this impossible.

I've also seen people being worried because John was supposed to be Francesca's first love. But he can still be, sure she has a spark for Michaela but nothing more. John and her have a connection something deep, that's going to leave a real hole in her life.

And if anything worries about sex scene you can have consensual sex even if one isn't into it (an example that strikes me is in “The day of a fallen night” which is the most interesting, on a writing level, sex scene I've read)

Eloise was literally like that in part one

And you're going to tell me that in the laps of one or two episodes she doesn't eveb bother to listen to Cressida telling her that a 70y old man wants to marry her ? That the friendship was “falling appart" ?!?

I can't bring myself to watch the last two episodes

I just finished the episode “Tick Tock” of Bridgerton and what the actual FUCK. It wasn't THAT bad but Eloise ?!?

I'm sorry but “I wish I could do something" girl ?!? You're telling me you can't help ? Can't talk about it to your family? Mind you nothing would be my priority but helping a girl get out of a marriage with a seventy years old man.

Eloise should have been the villain in season 3

Listen, I'm the biggest Eloise apologist ever but I can't keep on defending her. She should have been the villain and it could have solved SO MUCH of the issues with the stories.

Eloise has been rejected by society the reality hits her hard after Penelope, rightfully, called her on her bullshit with the “not everyone can be a pretty Bridgertons” speech. And when she was at her lowest she learned that her friend is the one that betrayed her.

She was trying to make amends and to listen to her friends... And where did that get her ?

She's tired of society, she's tired of trying to fit in she just doesn't care. She's mean, she's unapologetic, she laughs when a suitor asks her to dance with him. She's gone. Because what's the point anyways ? She has already lost everything.

There's a lack of drama ? Eloise will GIVE that drama right into the household. Plus I mean a Bridgeton villain? With their capacity to get away with everything ? And it frustrates her because she's just proving Penelope right but she can't stop, she's on a rampage.

And here comes Cressida, always the mean girl, who sees in Eloise the reflection of what she is inside and she makes the first step towards her. What's more beautiful than her and Eloise both evolving out of this cycle, maturing hands in hands.

Eloise learns that people CAN change and as Penelope doesn't write about any of her wrong doing, she starts to see the light.

But she doesn't need to become directly bff with Penelope again, it's not realistic. People change and mature (which is an undertones of this season I'm kinda seeing ?). Things will never be the same again.

Also their friendship wasn't benefiting for none of them. Penelope and Eloise need to make their own space their own friends and grow.

The good news about this is that I'm getting TONS of idea for my rewrite lol

I didn't even watch a full episode and WTF ?!? ELOISE ?!? YOUR NEW BFF IS TELLING YOU THAT SHE'S GOING TO GET ENGAGED TO A GRANDPA ?!? Why aren't you doing anything ?!?

Like that is character assassination

Man I cannot wait to be done with exams because I have t h o u g h t s to share about Bridgerton.

Starting with talking about wtf I have seen and saw spoiler of with Benedict (I have already rewrote the scene with the Mondrich). Following by Eloise because what the fuckkkk did they do with her ?!? And then Polin (didn't like them in the book, don't like them in the show) and obviously Michaela.

I haven't got to watch part 2 of Bridgerton but oh boy what I'm seeing.

Please free my girl Eloise from the Bridgerton writer RIGHT NOW.

A rewriting of the scene between the Mondrich and Benedict (and the introduction of someone 👀)

-as Benedict stop talking someone scoff-

Mystery guy

Oh please what nonsense.

-Benedict turns around, surprised-

Mystery guy

-as he walk to join the conversation-

Please Lord Bridgerton do tell me. Do tell me do you see Lord and Landy Afwrich?

Mystery guy

Benedict looks perplexed

Mystery guy

If my memory is good it has been two years they haven't been seen. They were incredibly impolite always with eachother, really never talked with anyone... Now I wonder, pray tell me mister Bridgerton you know the Chatilley right ?

Benedict

I'm not sure I can place them ?

-smiles as he knows he's winning-

- Benedict seems to come to a realisation. The mystery guy smiles emphatically to M and Ms Mondrich-

I think the last time they've shown themselves you were just starting Eton mister.

(to the Mondrich)

But you should ask lady Cowper miss and mister Mondrich, she knows a great deal about them and their red nose. But oh well you won't see them.

Mystery guy

M and Ms Mondrich I think you know better than everyone how... fragile the great experiment is. How old people kinda stay... attached to their values.

-the Mondrich looks at eachother then at the mystery guy-

- Benedict looks highly offended-

I can imagine that people were hard with you and they will continue to be harder and harder.I beg of you to think about your children, especially Lord Kent... Do not listen to a man with such a name that his family get the privilege to erase every scandal that seems to happens every week in their household.

Benedict

Now excuse me bu-

- he gets cut off as a Lady arrives-

The mysterious Lady

-ensues everyone bowing to each other and the Lady being named Lady Roseton-

Ah M Beauchateau!

Beauchateau

- between his teeth-

Talking about family name that can avoid scandal...

The mysterious Lady

There you are I've been looking for you everywhere.

Lady Roseton

M and Ms Mondrich I've been looking for you two everywhere ! I heard you do not have a french tutor for your children ? I highly recommend this young gentleman.

Benedict (still offended)

And he's accompanying you to a ball ?

-The Mondrich looks at him as he looks and sounds quite mad, he smiles-

And what a suspicious french name for someone with such a good English accent.

Lady Roseton

Oh I feel so alone with my husband and all my children dead or away... And I know, It's probably a secret identity but he's a good french teacher so who cares.

-She chuckles and And M Beauchateau chuckles too-

M Beauchateau

C'mon Madame we must make hast it's getting late for you.

-They both leaves with Lady Roseton's hand on his arm, he looks back at Benedict and smirks-

And there it is!!! What did y'all think of it ?

I feel like not enough people dislike Bridgerton's love interest because they're sex offenders. Like there's no essays to do about whether you like the ship or not, or even if the ship had a great chemistry. The characters are sexes offenders, or think like one, and most barely feels bad about it.

Rewritting of Bridgertons

First of I want to say that it is in no way me bashing Julia Quinn. She has wrote a popular book series that she managed to put on the screen and for that she deserves alot of respect.

BUT

The books are a hot messes for many, many, many reasons, the three last one are ok but still quite questionable.

(I am obviously in no way claiming to be a better writter or that what I'll do will be good but I decided to rewrite and change what I didn't like and what I think could do better. )

Important information about this rewrite :

As I had hard time with honestly any of the love interest, ESPECIALLY, the boys one (with the exception of my boy Gregory, you were boring but cute) and that I felt like the women character had honestly a waste of potential I will change all of them a LOT. I will also rant about why I didn't like them in the first place.

As the books are so messy I also consider the series as canon and I have a lot of confusion about the way the society and great experiments was done ?! Like honestly WASTED potential.

This will NOT be historically accurate my dear friends purely fictional as I'll state multiple time.

My friend's thought on Pollin

Mines are more... complicated than that
