Ok. So.
Books vs movies.
In the movies she sent the Slytherins to their own common room in the dungeon. And only the Slytherins.
In the books it was somewhat more complex. The plan was to send all the students to safety. But someone, i think it was Ernie Macmillan, spoke up and asked “what if we want to fight” at which point she amended her orders.
She sent off all the students who were underage and anyone else who didn’t want to fight. Which ended up being all the Slytherins, most of the Ravenclaws, and a few of the Hufflepuffs. (Btw…….Hufflepuff as the lazy druggies kind of falls apart because of this scene. More of them stayed to fight than any house but Gryffindor)
And some of the underage.wizards snuck back in and fought anyway. Including Colin Creevey and his little brother Dennis.
In the movie she singled out 1 house and sent them to their common room to wait out the battle.
In the book she didn't single out anyone. And Aberforth came in displeased with her because so many Slytherins went through his portal and he felt they should have been held for questioning or as hostages.
And Slughorn came marching back up the path from Hogsmeade with a large number of folks that we are told by the author are Slytherins but in the book are unnamed.
It creates a different viewpoint of Slytherin house and McGonagall’s views on it.
In the movies she doesn’t feel they are trustworthy so she locks them in their common room. In the book she sends them away because she understands they wont want to fight their parents OR their friends.
It’s because some of the performers are trying to force a viral moment. One reason no one criticizes Rihanna’s performance is that she made sure to shine a light on all the models before doing her iconic walk at the end. You just can’t force a serve.
This scene would never make sense to me, Eren forced him to take the Founding Titan, and he saw what Eren became in the future. So why did he still give Eren the Founding Titan’s powers?
Tyler Perry is worth $1.4 billion and he fired his own aunt for not showing up to work.
When his mom died, he mailed the rest of the family letters. 60 days to get a job, or the money stops.
Now here's the thing. Back in the early '90s, that same guy was sleeping in his car.
He's 6'5" and the car was a Geo Metro, so picture that for a minute.
In 1992 he took every dollar he had, about $12,000 from selling used cars plus a tax refund, and put on his first play in Atlanta. He figured 1,200 people would show up that weekend. Thirty did. His rent and his car payment were riding on that show, so when it flopped, he lost the apartment too.
And he kept going. He put the play up again the next year, and the year after that, and lost money every single time until the seventh try finally sold out in 1998.
Seven years later Diary of a Mad Black Woman opened at #1 and made $22 million its first weekend. He kept ownership of what he made, and eventually turned 330 acres of an old Army base in Atlanta into his own studio. Forbes has him at $1.4 billion now.
His mom, Maxine, was the reason he kept pushing through all of it. He's said as much. She asked him to look after the family, so he did, for years, the whole time she was alive. She passed in December 2009, and that's when the letters went out.
If you've lived what he lived, you know which part actually made you. It was six years of failing with nobody coming to save him. A monthly check from a rich relative takes exactly that away from somebody.
So with his aunt, he tried a job first. She'd call asking for money, he'd send it, and finally he offered her a spot so she could build something with him. She kept calling in and not showing up, so she was out.
According to Perry, every relative who got that letter found a job. Some of those jobs didn't pay much, and he said he didn't care, he wanted them proud of a paycheck they earned themselves.
He told Derrick Hayes, the guy who started Big Dave's Cheesesteaks, to watch out for family "putting holes in the boat" while you're trying to get across. Sometimes, he said, you build the boat by yourself and have everybody wait on the shore.
He runs the same rules with his son Aman, who does chores to get paid.
Honestly, he gave them the best thing he had. Sixty days and nobody coming to save them, which is the exact deal he got in 1992, and it's the deal that made him a billionaire.
