Tashi having the most potential out of all of them with the drive and knowledge to be great but having to stop because of forces outside of her control. Patrick having so much potential in his younger years but was never able to coral his raw talent into greatness making him a washed up athlete. Art having the potential to be better but his confidence and lack of drive stops him from truly reaching his peak. And it’s crazy because art’s the only one fine with not being a tennis great, but he knows that kills Tashi which kills him.

#challengers being about wasted potential and looking back at your life is fucking me up #tashi duncan #patrick zweig #art donaldson #challengers

Love that Art spots his gum into Tashi and Patrick’s hands. It’s like he’s their bitch but their his bitch too

#and that’s what being a bottom’s all about #art Donaldson the ultimate bratty sub #challengers

[cr-nack]

Art spitting his gum into Tashi’s hand and then them showing Art spitting his gum into Patrick’s hand when they were younger was fantastic

#I squealed when I peeped #challengers

Patrick gripping Art’s while watching Tashi play tennis made me audibly gasp in the theater

Once you find out Patrick comes from money the beginning of Challengers is a comedy because why are doing that sir

#you ate that lady’s for nothing if you don’t take your ass home sir #sleeping in the car for what #challengers #patrick zweig

Ok I was just talking shit but the parallel of tashipatrick and daisybilly being the toxic passionate couple that understand each other deeply but would ultimately burn each other and tashiart and billycamilla being the grounded safe pair that the main will always choose but there’s always a question what if is doing things for me

Just saw a post comparing djats and the challengers love triangle. While both have their similarities, djats wishes it was challengers

#fuck grammar #but at the end of the day djats didn’t connect that 3rd triangle so it will always be inferior #djats #challengers #daisy jones and the six

#if they had built that connection between daisy and Camilla then shit would’ve been poppin #but at the end of the day no love triangle with 2 women going after the same time will never hit the same #especially if there’s no homoerotic undertones #and especially if that man is as trash as Billy Dunne #I’m sorry I don’t make the rules #challengers #djats

reasons why the love triangle in challengers serves cunt:

it’s a real triangle

the hate and love and lust volley between the three of them the whole time at dizzying speeds.

sexual tension is so insanely off the charts you can feel it in your mouth

zendaya

each of them is deeply jealous of the other two, in ways personal or professional or both. tashi had her career cut short before its prime. while patrick and art are still known as tennis players she will never be. art’s whole life is an exercise in repression and he knows he’ll never have that chaotic, prodigal spark that tashi and patrick share. patrick’s ex best friend and ex girlfriend got married and rich together while he’s sleeping in his car. they’re all longing for what the others have.

ZENDAYA

tennis as sex my beloved

in an early sceenplay, when art and tashi hook up for the first time, he can’t get hard until she coaches him while jerking him off. in the movie, patrick tells the story of how he taught art how to masturbate for the first time. haters will say you can’t have cinematic parallels between scenes that were never technically filmed but they haven’t watched the version of this movie in my head

did i mention zendaya is there?!?!

#yes to all of this #except for Patrick sleeping in his car bc he doesn’t have to do that #he has rich parents he just wants a struggle story #*steve rogers voice* you chose to do that #still love him tho #challengers
