oh look at me! i’m tom holland, i’m having two major movies releasing back to back, i’m married to the most beautiful woman in the world and she’s laying on my lap, and my curls look amazing! fuck you
if i had a nickel for every time i had to watch two blonde, curly-haired boys suffer on november 20th, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice
Chuds saying this was Nolan pushing the “anti men agenda” entirely missed the point of this scene. She’s not saying that there shouldn’t be a king. She’s saying it’s made her feel crazy that everyone claims the throne has been empty when she’s the one who has been on it running shit while Odysseus is away. It hasn’t been empty, but the suitors don’t see her as a capable ruler including her own son.She’s saying that she has been the one holding things down while waiting for her king to come back, and she’s willing to continue doing so because she believes he’s still out there.
The throne was never empty. Penelope WANTS Odysseus to come back. She isn’t against there being a king on the throne, she’s against there being anyone other than Odysseus on it.
