Re: Best Character Chemistry

(Anonymous) 2014-08-31 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I adore Evie so much. She's so gleefully morbid ("D'you know what they do? They take a red hot poker, stick it up your nose, scramble things about a bit and then yank the whole lot back out!"), and easily startled ("I hate it when these things do that!"), and drunkenly defiant ("I am proud of what I am!" [...] "I ... am a librarian!"), capable under stress despite actual visible stress ("Patience is a virtue!" "You're not help-ing!"), quietly calm when she knows what to do ("He is mortal."), and then later on blithely confident ("No harm ever came from opening a chest."), cheerfully physical ("That I learned from your father."), a capable family woman ("Jonathan, those are my husband and my son down there. Make me proud.") and just generally amazing in every possible way and I would cheerfully die for her if I didn't get to be her. Her and Rick are amazing (though mostly in the first two movies, I think they suffered for losing Rachel Weiss and her chemistry with Fraser), and I love her interactions with just about everyone else as well.

I love Jonathan so much. If Evie wasn't my favourite, Jonathan would be my favourite, because I just love how despite being occasionally a cowardly weaselly little shit with major greed problems, he's amazingly unfazed a lot of the time. Who keeps their head enough to pick-pocket the super-mummy currently picking them up by the throat? Jonathan, that's who. "And did I panic? I think not!" And he's so loyal and brave when it comes to his family. "Make me proud." "Today's that day, Evie." I mean. I love him.

Ardeth, of course, is the single hottest thing on the planet in these movies, and badass, and then randomly so adorably goofy that you want to scoop him up and hug him. What. How does he do that?

And yes, everybody else as well. Imhotep/Ankhesenamun is so compelling and then in the second movie so utterly heartbreaking, villain, why are you so tragic? Beni was so squirrelly you honestly had to root for him at points, and again with the 'keeping his head when faced with supernatural undead' thing, I do love that. And I actually kind of liked young!Alex, because he was so visibly his parents' kid in some of the best and worst ways, and I enjoyed a lot of his and Jonathan's banter.

And, ah. Exploding Mummy feelings right on back, apparently? ;)
