Supervillains announcing their plans is actually a union thing so they can’t be sued for damages someone else may commit at the same time
“No, Your Honor. I clearly stated that I would be using my freeze ray to weaken and shatter the federal bank vault door. As my “weapon”, as you call it, was only designed to create cold, I cannot be held accountable for this woman’s burn injuries, clearly caused by another supervillain’s lava gun.“
“You are certain that it was another’s device that caused this woman’s injuries?”
anyways the version of much ado about nothing starring catherine tate and david tennant as beatrice and benedick is a Classic. david tennant’s benedick is FULL chaotic dumbass, and catherine tate’s beatrice is past being full of rage and is completely done with everyone from the very beginning. plus, they just work off each other so well.
not to mention the costumes and props. benedick in drag? BENEDICK IN JORTS AND A SUPERMAN SHIRT? beatrice wearing a suit? beatrice swaggering around with a beer in her hand, while benedick sips on pink, fruity cocktails? benedick writing his love song to beatrice on one of those stupid little electric keyboards? unparalleled artistry.
nothing makes me happier than this moment
oh absolutely ICONIC. and the fact that he gives his whole monologue after whilst covered in paint. “love me? [beat, looks down at his paint covered self] why?” truly how shakespeare intended it
I also love this. what a way to kick things off.
[Image Descriptions: Three images of David Tennant as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. Two gifs of him wearing cut-off jean shorts and a superman shirt, smearing paint all over his chest and face. One still image of him sitting in a golf cart covered in union jacks with his feet up on the steering wheel, sort of hanging off the thing. He’s wearing a military uniform. This is Benedick’s entrance in the play. End description.]
I know there’s that post going around about Crowley hugging Aziraphale after they switch back to their bodies, but also consider: Aziraphale doesn’t even consider that he wouldn’t have a trial. After all, Crowley had one and it’s hell.
So one day he asks Crowley, “Oh by the way, what was my trial like? If, as you say, they won’t leave us alone forever, I’ll have to speak to Gabriel again and I should know what was said. Yours was awful of course, I don’t know what I expected, they’re demons after all…”
And Crowley, with the same tone of voice in which he reminded Aziraphale that his bookshop had burnt down, says, “Angel… You didn’t have a trial.”
