Imagine being 14 years old suddenly grieving the lost of an uncle, one of the two people who raised you, and discovering he was a spy and murdered by a billionaire tech company your government blackmailed you to infiltrate with only eleven days of spy training but NO weapons training because they will sacrifice a child’s life for the Greater Good, going through vivid near-death experiences, sleep in the same bed their uncle slept on before dying, watch several people die grotesquely but god forbid they let a kid use a gun.

Then all you earn is a lackluster backhanded compliment and a doctor’s note to excuse all your absences. Be told to get back to school and wait for a possible next mission while acutely aware MI6 holds your house, entire inheritance, your nanny’s visa, and your choice of ever saying no.

Do you also feel like you're seeing a celebrity that have been falling out of the public eye when you're bumping into a book that you've read when you're were 12 in the wild ?

Like, omg Alex Rider Stormbreaker, what are you doing in this thrift shop ? *Debbie Ryan hair tucking*

Seriously, why do film makers/producer/whoever in charge agree that making a book series into a movie is a good idea? You skip a lot of character development, abandon lots of details and end up angry your audience

Hey do any of y'all ever think about how Blunt's "You can't go home. You can't go back to school." at the start of Skeleton Key is a direct juxtaposition to Yassen's "Go home. Go back to school." at the end of Stormbreaker

i cannot stop thinking about ian rider. more specifically, how alex had so many unprocessed feelings about him after his death. imagine being an orphan, getting adopted by your uncle as a baby, having him raise you for 14 years then discovering he lied to you your entire life. that he [unintentionally or not] trained you to be something you never wanted to be under the guise of bonding with you. never being able to ask him what his actual intentions were because he's dead. never getting closure for it. im going to throw up.

#i remember reading stormbreaker for the first time and i could not stop crying the entire book #i have big emotions dont blame me #but seeing alex follow in ian's footsteps quite literally seeing and living through what lead to his death #it fucked me up #i dont remember if it was outright stated in the books but alex wondering the entire time if ian even loved him? #it wasn't framed directly but thats how i interpreted it #i cant even coherently put into words all my thoughts about this #ontop of everything else this is one of the core things that makes me so emotional over this silly little book series like holy shit #alex my son i just want to give you a hug #alex rider #alex rider books #ian rider #please don't get me started about my thoughts of whether or not ian did in fact love him #my head might explode #these books fucked up my brain chemistry permanently

We are not judging how bad the movie is, we are judging which adapted the book the worst. There are good movies that are bad adaptions.

Propaganda below the cut (spoilers may apply)

Mortal Engines:

GIVE HESTER A DEFORMING SCAR YOU COWARDS. But in all seriousness, there was a lot wrong with the adaptation. The book was very cinematic to begin with, with lots of grandeur and intrigue as Tom starts to unpack all the brainwashing he's grown up with. Then the movie turned Hester into a generic girl boss, wiped out all of Tom's character growth to make him a useless sidekick, and took out a lot of the cool world building and political intrigue. Oh, and heaven forbid Hester, who had her face run into with a sword, be in anyway disfigured. Even though Hester being "ugly" was what made me love her so much as an insecure teen girl.

Joyless. Unwilling to actually give the female lead a decent facial scar which is just embarrasing. Shoved in a chosen one narrative where there didn't need to be. Changed the entire ending from tragic to saves the day style shit. Worst of all it's a really niche property and seeing it suck ass is all that most people are ever gonna see of it but the books are So Good. CGI does slap tho

The cool, severely scarred female character is replaced by a girl with a teensy little cut on her face. The robot ethics are removed and the humor is stupid

Stormbreaker:

GOD it sucks the og book series deals with the whole fact that if a 14 y/o schoolboy became a spy he’d have TRAUMA and MISERY and HATE IT AND THE GOVERNMENT TOO but then the movie is like. la de da this is so fun tee hee i love being a spy :))) i hate it. i hate it with the power of 1000 suns why are you trying to make this shit GLAMOROUS. especially i hate the us release poster what IS that

Gonna be honest I watched this years ago so I don't remember exactly what was different but it was different enough that I didn't like it and I LOVED the book series

The absolute slap stickery of a mess that movie made of the supposedly cool spy boy and his descent into darkness due to adults who only use him for their own means , ptsd symptoms rising be damned

Alex Rider, 2.08 secondes after meeting his first target at his spy job : Much like the portuguese man'o war that you admire, u fucking dumb and I hate you.

[opossumezzy]

I'm re-reading Stormbreaker so I thought I'd share some quotes to remind us all that Alex is a literal foetus. A baby. Fresh from the womb. Tiny.
