Henry V (1989 film version with Kenneth Branagh): Reactions, Part II
let us continue!
once again, we love us some OLDE MAPS!!!
“plsssss i don’t want my boyfriend to be executeeeeeeed :(“
this guy is taking no shit
tfw your former buddy is about to get executed right in front of you
“how could you let this happen to me??? :(“
“…did i fucking tell you to go rob a CHURCH???”
✨uncomfortable foreshadowing in the flashback✨
honestly, getting hanged for robbing a church is…not out of character for him!
well at least you want them all to treat the villages and villagers fairly but uh…didn’t you literally just talk about sticking babies on pikes a few scenes ago?
in keeping with the tennis stuff: the ball is now in france’s court
well, he’s nothing if not a good catholic boy i guess
chorus is just like “well! that happened!”
stop comparing horses and armor and go to SLEEP y’all have a BATTLE tomorrow
or don’t. knock yourselves out i guess.
once again: royals and nobles have nothing better to do than wander around in disguise! always a treat in media
calling your countryfolk “your bosom” i guess
kissing one’s dirty shoe? okay good for you i guess
yeah y’all shouldn’t be talking so loudly right before the battle you never know who’d be listening
the elizabethan version of “if all your friends jumped off a bridge would you do the same?”
and he likes speaking about himself in the third person
ooh damn this guy’s got a good point (that the king might have some reckoning to do if this war is not just)
no, what he’s saying is that what if they shouldn’t have died in the first place. keep up, henry
OHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT HE JUST CHALLENGED THE KING TO A DUEL
(he doesn’t know he’s the king but STILL! DRAMA!!!!!)
he’s considering…
“okay but surely i’m not responsible for EVERYTHING in my people’s lives??? right??? RIGHT???”
and the question surely on both of our minds: but where is the line, especially in this case???
ooooooooooooooooof.
okay but this brings up a good question: so if his dad murdered the guy before him, it may not be right to punish the son for the sins of the father but uh. is his claim to the ENGLISH throne even legit, let alone the FRENCH throne??? has he legitimized it through his penitence and devotion (in more than one sense)??? much to think about!
BATTLE DAY IS HERE!!!
whack whackity whack whack
FIVE TO ONE?!?!?! oh lord help you all
oh hey here’s the other thing i know: the st. crispin’s day speech!
come on y’all KNOW it’s iconic
“we few, we happy few, we band of brothers…”
i mean come on. it’s just so uplifting and strong and has GREAT vibes.
“dude. we do not need to have this discussion AGAIN.”
can’t help but respect henry right now even if you don’t like him!
here we go…
dude how did you just show up in the middle of the battlefield lmao
“ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck that is a lot of people coming at us at once ohhhhhhhh boy”
also i love how they’re just cutting to all these WILDLY different reactions on all these english leaders’ faces lol
HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah i do remember learning about this. how the longbows were taking ALL the french out and how it was an example of important military tech development during this time or something like that
gotta respect a leader who fights alongside his soldiers
this is gory and graphic as FUCK omg
can’t even tell half these english dudes apart but oof that HURTS (are these people even english???)
sucks to be y’all
oh hey again baby christian bale!!!
WHERE IS THE HIGH PITCHED SCREAMING COMING FROM
oh my god. oh my god. THE FRENCH WENT AFTER THE FUCKING KIDS????????????????
i’m gonna need a sec. hold on. gonna need a sec.
he gets it!!!
oh BUDDY 😭
“I WAS NOT ANGRY SINCE I CAME TO FRANCE, UNTIL THIS INSTANT!!!” MOOD. FUCKING MOOD.
this, imo, is an appropriate reaction
reasonable request though
i mean with all the carnage everywhere it’s entirely understandable to not know what the FUCK is going on
well at least the english won i guess
but, and i could be wrong here, weren’t they retreating anyway? so either way technically they lost the war. this just means their army didn’t get hacked to bits or something i guess. idk. could be wrong.
oh buddy…
did you not look at your map before you came here. it would’ve told you this place was called agincourt
okay but why is this so adorable
MISTRESS QUICKLY DIED????????? nooooooooooooooo rip to the “reverenza” queen
the only french guy in here: wait TEN THOUSAND french people died??????? like, ONE SIXTH of the entire army???? 😳
ONLY TWENTY NINE (29)????????????
(i mean, presumably the boys are not being counted, and goodness knows how many of them, but maybe they are???)
his line reading is just *chef’s kiss*
HENRY IS CARRYING THE BOY STOOOOOOOOOOOP DO YOU WANT TO MAKE ME CRY AGAIN
also this is really beautiful music
like. there’s so much to unpack here. and it’s a beautiful moment, and some GREAT camera work. 10/10 the movie could end right here but apparently there’s another 20 minutes
annnnnnnnnnnnnnd i’m crying again
oof.
so it looks like war devastated our buddy henry, so maybe let’s go for peace instead?
flashback time!
what have we all lost?
also unrelated but what happened to the guy who challenged henry to a duel? i hope he’s having a good day
ah yes, making a woman your demand. *sigh* yeah i know this is how politics and arranged marriages work, and she seems to not hate him, but still.
okay but: gorgeous
this is awkwaaaaaaaaaard
“i already tried to be the enemy and that didn’t work so i guess…france’s friend???”
he’s trying!!! and it’s honestly kinda cute
and it seems like he’s giving her a choice, so good on that
annnnnnnnnnnnnd there it is!
ah, peace.
annnnnnnnd bringing the frame back
henry may have been brilliant, but…history has a way of complicating things.
anyway this was AWESOME, 10/10 definitely recommend

Jasons pit madness is actually him going mama bear mode-
I was brushing my teeth when this DC x DP idea just zapped into my brain and I HAD to let it out-
So I'd imagine that in the GZ time works differently, but in the sense where it passes really really slow compared to how it would normally pass. This is to allow newly formed spirits a time to grieve and heal before saying good bye to their loved ones.
So now imagine a newly formed Jason Todd arriving to the Ghost Zone, still donned with the Robin outfit he died in.
While he floats aimlessly around for a while he eventually encounters another young ghost... like really young, no more then 5 years old.
He watched as this kid, his kid, grow into the powerful ghost he was always meant to be. His favourite moments where when Clockwork allowed them to visit outside the GZ to go stargazing so they could fulfil the kids space obsession.
This ghost is Danny. (You can choose your own way of him getting there but I would imagine the portal being completed way earlier than cannon but still follows how Danny got his powers, although this time he was trapped on the other side of the portal rather than popping back out into this parents basement.)
Years pass in the GZ and Jason has officially taken Danny under his wing. At first it was difficult, he was only 15 goddammit! He shouldn’t be the soul caretaker of this kid, let alone a dead one! But the thought of leaving Danny alone in this green void made his stomach churn, he couldn’t up and leave and abandon a kid he said he would take care off, he would do anything for Danny. He wasn’t like Bruce
They were fine, happy even, he couldn’t imagine a life without this little tyke who became his whole world in the time he was in the Zone, but then it was all gone. His core felt a sudden pull so tight it felt like it was being ripped out of his body, it hurt, oh god did it hurt but it couldn’t compare to the sound of Danny’s cries as he watched Jason crumple to the ground and begin to fade away.
He stalked through Gotham at night and began setting up his plan for revenge, although Red Hood was born he couldn’t help feel like he lost something. The slightest thing would tip him of, making him go into a blind fury, ripping his enemies apart in an almost frantic desperation. He knew he was searching for something, fucking something, but what is it?
He was back in the land of the living, and he was furious, but he didn’t know what for. His memories where fuzzy at best and the only thing he remembers is a sharpness in his chest and green in his vision.
At first he thought it was the desire for revenge, that he was searching for retribution against the man who killed him and the man who didn’t do enough to save him, but it wasn’t until almost a year after he took up the Red Hood mantel did it all click into place and his world suddenly became right again, all it took was one voice and one word.
“DAD!”
