warrior nun finale got me fucked up

They just set up the big finale and then stopped right before it! You’d think even if they wanted to go for a cliffhanger, they’d let the battle progress more and stop when everyone had taken some major hits and were on the verge of losing. I thought maybe it was a budget issue but apparently Simon Barry said that when he took the script to Netflix, they were like, how about stopping it a little earlier? So maybe it’s an encouraging sign, where it’s kind of implicitly promising a second season already (unless the show does abysmally, which it doesn’t seem like it’s doing?). 

Unless you meant the whole final reveal, in which case, never trust a fictional angel. 😛

So it’s kind of like the Life Partners movie. Where Leighton Meester’s sexuality wasn’t really the main focus but the friendship between the two women. I get it’s at least two women in the forefront of the film so maybe that’s why a lot of ppl were okay with it? Or were ppl not okay with it? No clue lol

Lol, I have no idea either. To be accurate, I”m seeing more of the defense of THOI than I am the actual negativity, so it might have been a similar reaction back then, just more amplified now. I do think the era makes a difference too, this is six years later. Now everyone, not just f/f fans or even fandom in general, is so much louder and…MORE on social media. But I’d also say that, as loud as the outcry over things like Willow/Tara and Glee (in general) were, the f/f community specifically has become more vocal about what it doesn’t like and why. And every year, every movie that brings along another unhappy ending just adds to how much people are waiting for one.

I think maybe also what would have been different for that one is that while people would have groaned at the initial premise of Life Partners, it did seem like a friendship between a straight girl and a lesbian from the offing? So it was more a muted “oh, this again” from the start, instead of what we got here, people getting excited over thinking THOI was a f/f romcom in the vein of TATBTILB and then being disappointed.
